The real villain in this shutdown fiasco is not Trump, but Mitch McConnell. Yes, it is true that Trump is incapable of telling the truth and of putting the public interest ahead of his personal interests.
But McConnell could stop this crap within an hour. But similar to Trump McConnell appears incapable of putting the public interest ahead of political machinations designed to get and hoard political power and advantage. McConnell continues to show that he is intellectually and morally incapable of leading. He is a one trick pony who can only obstruct.

I think McConnell has done the most damage to the fabric of our society since his statement that his job was to make Obama a one term president.
His wife, as secretary of transportation has several rumors surrounding her, which if true might be influencing Mitch to use the shutdown as a distraction to protect her.

This crap makes him feel powerful, just like when he wouldn't allow the Garland hearings - no thumbs up, no thumbs down, no discussion. Now, he's reveling in the malignancy of this moment.

He is more more evil than that. I will bed posting another set of comments about him this evening. Please read them.
McConnell is no different than all the other Repubs who have enabled and supported Trump's toxic presidency. He knows Trump's a loon and unfit for office but he's a useful idiot who will rubberstamp anything the GOP sets in front of him so they back him no matter what it does to the country. So long as they and their donors benefit, they'll look the other way.
No one even tries to hide the corruption.

Trump would not have been possible without McConnell's pernicious acts over time. Please read my added comments about McConnell coming later this evening.
I learned today that McConnell got kicked out of the Army because he was caught doing the sodomy thing with another soldier.

and what is the problem with two consenting adults doing what they both want and agree to do?
I have great disdain for McConnell, not for his personal life but for his politics and how he want's to govern.
@PalacinkyPDX The hypocrisy of most politicians is well known and beyond question. One's gotta do what you gotta do to get elected and stay elected.
@PalacinkyPDX Not at all surprising.
@jlynn37 Mitch was in before Don't ask, don't tell. They didn't want distractions in foxholes.
@PalacinkyPDX I was responding to I guess the OP that he was kicked out of the Army. I don't care if he is gay, straight, martian, or purple. I want him to legislate like he is educated in the law of the land and without bias. Of course that is not happening. And yes, his whole tenure in government has had a negative impact on the country, and the world.
You are 100% correct about that!!!
McConnell is the puppet master here.
He could cut 45 off at the knees, reopen the government, and guarantee
his re-election in 2020. I think he's enjoying everything turning to shit.
I also think he doesn't believe it's going to effect him in the slightest.

@PalacinkyPDX He is dead-weight. I'd like to see him jettisoned. Just
like 45.
