I don’t have much to say about “fake news” other than that it’s not new. As has been observed for at least 300 years, a lie can get halfway around the world while the truth is getting its pants on.

Very, very, very dumb.
We search in vain for an honest leader. The best we can do is division of powers, and if that leads to a partial government shutdown, so be it. There’s a reason for the impasse, and to pass a continuing resolution without addressing that reason would be foolish.
