<Shutdown gives Trump 5 things…
<1. Trump gets MIL to build border wall
<2. Trump gets Recess Appointments
Not in recess. There are senators still in DC every day ‘negotiating’
<3. Trump gets DC cleared out for office raids
Why would there be any need for them to be cleared out? The only situations where this being relevant would also involve criminality - and not by the targets of said raids.
<4. Trump gets pretext for temp martial law
On what pretext? Pure baseless speculation - and worse, mis/disinfo
<5. Trump gets window for Congress arrests
See #2. Congress is still in session so no
Sorry to break it to everyone but the notable from (LB) is at best extreme wish-casting, at worst 100% disinfo slide
Truth is likely in between
