Mark my words: Shitler is only agreeing to reopen the government so he can do his MAGA hate rally disguised as the SOTU.
It's masterful that Nancy Pelosi held her caucus together and refused to be intimidated or bullied by him and his enablers. She knows she has public opinion on her side, and she knows that she has all the leverage.
Nancy Pelosi is one woman Trump can't abuse and control, and it makes him crazy.

@jaybee165 Excellent point. Wherever there are humans who are unafraid to have opinions or show emotions, there will always be a chance for drama. The thing I love about CoSo is the lack of dogpiling and the sincere efforts put into resolution, and if possible, reconciliation and reunification. Some are even willing to act as peace ambassadors. All humans, all human interaction.
I've never been on a site with social interaction where there hasn't been drama now and then - because humans are humans, eh? But the great thing about CoSo is that when I see drama, I can be confident that it actually *is* humans and not trollbots from hostile countries. (And then I can just chill and wait until said drama settles down.) Big difference, IMO!
In a year that seemed to bring crisis after crisis, it's really inspiring to think that just now, a spacecraft just buzzed by a teeny icy object *billions* of miles away. Humans can do some amazing things when we work together, and that's a great omen for 2019.

I won't pass the mark for another 2 1/2 hours here in the SF Bay Area, but Happy New Year to all the #Cosonauts who are already celebrating!

cnn: michael cohen went to prague
msnbc: michael cohen went to prague
fox news: did hillary make michael cohen go to prague to sell uranium one for george soros so that obama could hide that he was born in kenya? probably

Christmas story to share:
In 1983, at 21, a friend and I went shopping at Macy’s flagship store, in Herald Square. While we were there, we went upstairs to Santa’s workshop, waited on line among the children, to see Santa. When our turn came, he asked us what we wanted. I said “A new job” and my friend said a suitable used car she could buy. We were adults it didn’t have to be under the tree, but by January I had my job & she had a car.
Santa at Macy’s is real.
Just when I thought the big orange idiot couldn't shock me, he turns into the big orange Grinch: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/norad-santa-tracker-unaffected-by-government-shutdown-where-is-santa-christmas-2018-12-24/
Presents wrapped, just need to fill the stockings tonight! Merry Christmas Eve, #CoSo!

I'm not affiliated, but f you've got young kids, you really owe it to yourself (and them) to visit https://www.portablenorthpole.com to make a video message from Santa. 🎅
These are really well done and incredibly magical. I've been making them for my daughter since she was 4, and paying for the full versions every year since (they give longer vids, Christmas Eve updates, birthday messages, phone calls etc throug the year). I even make them for grown ups, who love them too.
Morning CoSo! Enjoying a trip out of town, and I have to say, winter holiday coffee is the best kind of coffee! #caffeineclub

CoSo,
Whatever strange and scary tidings emerge from the news today, hang on tight to the things that help you keep perspective.
That might be recognizing the Winter Solstice (in the Northern Hemisphere)--the shortest day, which also marks the turning point towards longer days of light...
That might be your friends, family, pets, hobbies, faith...
Or maybe CoSo itself...for we sill surely receive more happy news about another SecretSanta selectee.
We will get through this.
