I consider that tweet one of the crises.

What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

All 4 if you count Corker..

Retiring Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) marveled at the chaos on Capitol Hill on Thursday as President Donald Trump suddenly refused to sign a temporary spending bill passed by the Senate and threatened — again — to shut down the government.

“Y’all have fun,” Corker told journalists, apparently relieved to be heading home for the holidays. “I might not see y’all again for a while. I’m getting ready to drive to Chattanooga.”

When asked if he would return for an upcoming vote, Corker said: “I doubt it.” Asked what would happen next, Corker responded: “Who knows? Does the person sitting beside [the president] at the White House know?”

You misspelled 'temporary shutdown'. It needs bipartisan support in the senate. It doesn't have it.

Also, yesterday Trump said ISIS was defeated.

Today he's saying that now we're leaving Syria, Iran, and Russia to deal with ISIS themselves.

The ISIS problem is now closer to home what with their caravan hordes in Mexico invading the US.

Not a super majority. They'll need 60 votes to pass it.
