Just maybe the Red Sox and the President's office came to an agreement of "Don't invite us and this way we won't have to decline the invite" behind closed doors. I am pretty sure the owner of the Red Sox has enough pull (money) to get a line into the oval office. The media wasn't told or the media found that this kind of story would really not sell their news.
I hate all media. What is worse, people actually believe and spread satire news articles as factual. Let's spread the hate.
As for the wall / government shutdown, aren't there 2 sides who vote? How is it that under all of the other presidencies that built sections of the wall (including democrats), there was no problem in funding it yet now that it is Trump wanting to build another section, the same democrats who supported this same issue during Obama's presidency are now so much against it that they are willing to prolong the government shutdown?
For our American friends, you are 2 years away from your next elecction. Those who are planning to run for election to lead their respective parties into the Presidential election should begin showing their intentions. What happens if it becomes another Clinton vs Trump election?
Lastly, like ranfordfan, over the years I close myself in more and more so that I am not exposed to the false media that social media brings to us in too many ways. Most of our governments don't even know the real issues that they should be looking to fix - mental health in our next generation, education system, health system, etc. Throwing money at these without a plan is a waste of our tax dollars. Instead of properly addressing these critical issues, we elected a Prime Minister who promised to legalize pot, the only promise he really kept.
