He can’t even control his own party and get people together in a room. A shutdown means the president is weak" - Donald J Trump 2013Different interview, same message.Update to this: Republicans actually need some Democrat votes to pass the new budget. Let’s see how it plays out.

1 hour ago1 hr Dear Summer,I, for one, am done. You’ve lingered far past your welcome. You need to go.I loathe you. And I don’t use that word lightly. In fact, “loathe” might be the most diplomatic term I can muster. You are a walking contradiction to everything I am. Your heat is oppressive. Your humidity is suffocating. Your endless blinding sunshine is a personal attack. I am built for dark, for the shadows, for velvet, corsets and black lace, not for UV rays, heat and sweat. And yes, I know the scene is “about the music,” but fuck you.... it’s also about the look. And you ruin it. You attempted to scorch my skin for the last 5 months. Your assault my eyes is endless, and you force me into a daily ritual of sunscreen, parasols, and oversized sunglasses just to survive a two minute walk. And still, you find a way to seep in despite all my attempts to block you from my life.... As of October 1st, I'm a tiny less pale then normal, I'm not here for that. My genetics don't allow for that. I am English, Irish, German, Swedish & Norwegian, my skin is porcelain, not canvas. Your worshippers may tan now and wrinkle later. I will look 35 at 50, and I’ll do it in matte finish. And speaking of matte, your moist little obsession ruins my foundation, which is designed to make me look even more pale. It does not appreciate your bullshit. Moisture is your best friend. It is my sworn enemy. But it’s not just physical. You drain me emotionally. Your cicadas scream. Your light blinds. Your heat feels like mockery. I am irritable, melancholic, and spiritually dehydrated. You've crushed my spirit and fray my nerves. I yearn for your sister Autumn. She is everything you are not. She arrives with grace, dressed in rust, and fog. She understands silence, shadow, and the sacred chill. She lets me breathe. She lets me layer. She lets me exist.Spooky season is HERE. The air will cool. The leaves will fall. And I will rise again.Well, I live with snakes and lizardsAnd other things that go bump in the nightCause to me every day is HalloweenI've given up hiding and started to fightSincerely -🎃
