Do people here really think POTUS is acting as a human in all of this?
Let's say we are planning out Q's plan. We know that we are going to shut down the government. Do we… What… Just assume that after a month we will get what we want from the dc mafia?
No. We consider scenarios for how long this shutdown will occur. We sit down and figure out exactly when and where we are going to need additional funding for x, y, or z, and then make sure to structure that into the script.
Seriously… When you all think of "plan" - do you think of a night of drinking with your friends, or something? It's not that hard to sit down and consider all the categories of things that can happen, and plan for each of them. Even GHW's funeral was a foreseen play.
None of the major players can do anything that falls outside of the foreseen scope of actions, as all possible actions fall within contingency triggers.
There is no escape. I do not know the details of the plan, but with people in Q's position, when they say they have full control and there is no escape, they are not making such statements lightly.
