1. Orange crush time -- crushed by his own stubbornness

2. Unmentioned: Citizens United.

That's the ruling that put the Tea Partiers in Congress with the funding of the Kochs and other billionaires. The Kochs are able to threaten other Republican with conservative primary challenges because of it.

Just how bad was that ruling? Dred Scott just caused a civil war. Citizens United threatens to cause a worldwide catastrophe and overthrow the US as the world's superpower. It will be a stain on the Roberts court and every conservative member of it.

Fact is, liberals warned that it was bad, but nobody pictured it being this bad.

3. GEE, MAYBE THIS IS NAIVE BUT...

If Orange Boy ("Tears&quot et al didn't want the shutdown to happen, they have only themselves to blame for following these Baggers...their fear of extortion was greater than their dedication to their job and love of their Nation. So, those crock 'o tears ain't working at all, bite the bullet and get the lights on!
