UBN: "Trump has expressed his disappointment with Putin for the eighth time..."
Take note: What Trump says about Putin is meaningless.
It just complains a little to cover his political back in the US, where Putin is not popular.
This is not news but coverup.

"France’s prime minister resigns less than a month after appointment"
What a disaster!
How can this happen?
Is France completely dysfunctional? Just like the US.
Another verdict against presidential constitutions.

I have no idea whether the Democrats will benefit from the government shutdown, but they had no choice.
The Democrats would not appear a political party if they just accepted the republicans' dictate without even being consulted.
Trump is the only culprit.
