We're not going to give Donald Trump what he wants, so we're going to pass this spending bill that gives him everything he wants! That'll how 'im!

Donald Trump wants the courts to stop overturning his random EOs. A shutdown would close the courts.

So we should just give him everything he asked for on a silver platter with no resistance whatsoever and not offer any meaningful alternatives?

It's like invading Iraq when a bunch of Saudis that hate Iraq attack you. You have to ask yourself "is this exactly what they want me to do?" And then "If I want my revenge, whom should I attack and how?"

Attacking federal workers on behalf of Trump is not the way to "Stand up to Trump"
