Here's Seth Meyers on the "self- inflicted crisis" brought upon us by an "incompetent and unhinged" Donald "Rump" Trump over his manhood
BONUS: Some networks appear willing to let Dems rebut Rump, but Norman Ornstein's observation still holds:
Here is the brutal reality: because Barack Obama did not disparage, degrade or threaten TV networks, or call them the enemy of the people, they were perfectly content to deny him airtime for his immigration address. Because Trump did all of those things, they were intimidated. Oy— Norman Ornstein (@NormOrnstein) January 8, 2019
BONUS II: For anyone feeling compelled to watch the liefest, the Toronto Star's intrepid reporter Daniel Dale will be fact- checking in real time on Twitter. Good luck Daniel, and take plenty of ibuprofen.

I was watching CBS This Morning and they said that Trump would give his speech at 9pm and there would be a Democratic follow-up, so that's good. I don't believe Trump should get any time at all, since he'll get on there and lie about the immigration situation, but at least there'll be a sane rebuttal immediately afterward.
Trump is going to incite panic and rile up his base. He doesn't care about the furloughed government employees and he actually doesn't care about refugees; he has undocumented workers in his own business operations! So it's another “look at me!” moment.
donnah - other than refusing to give him airtime, there's no good solution to having a malicious liar speaking to the nation (minus us and countless millions more) in an attempt to gin up fear about a non- existent "crisis." If he manages to not go off the rails, there will be some pundits who will say he looked "presidential." But, as others have said, the only national emergency is Trump's continuing presence in the Oval Office.
