For heaven’s sake. It’s an EMERGENCY. President Trump diminishes that reality when he continues to threaten to treat it as such.
We’ll know by Feb 15 if this was President Trump’s READ MY LIPS moment.
imo, the critical point is how Trump manages a restraing order by a court.
Does he have a plan or does he rely on the JUstice Dept?
Building the wall will be President Trump’s valentine to Nazi Pelousy.
And why don’t you make these links clickable
rather than having to copy, paste, etc.
BS! He could declare that emergency today!
Nothing changes in three week. NOTHING.
The shutdown was to force border wall funding.
He did not get a dime.
I trust Trump, he is honorably dealing with the Dems. As long as they offered to deal if the government was reopened, it is not an emergency. Ball is in Traitors court now, and Trump taking the higher ground, means he can just say tighten the deal, then call an emergency if the Dems do not co-operate.
Trump just won.
It’s a cave not to have declare the emergency long before now.
Trump should wait until they all go home tonight and tomorrow morning Declare a National Emergency and Begin the Wall.
Trump did NOT cave. He’s working within the rules and confines of his position and made a compromise. That’s what pols are supposed to do. Not what Shucky Chucky and Piglosi are doing which is being a brick WALL.
Hey! Do you think we could merge them in with the southern border wall? Just cement them right in place for eternity.
“This isn’t a cave. Only Democrats cave. I will build a wall if Chuck and Nancy don’t come to the table. Because I negotiate. And I build things. But negotiate comes first. And if no negotiate, then a Wall will be built. A great, beautiful wall that will overtake the Great Wall of China. Speaking of China - I won the trade war there. That’s what I do. I win trade wars and put Americans first. So this is not a cave. If you say it’s a cave, it’s fake news. I don’t cave. Ever. I build. I don’t burrow. And burrow is what Nancy and Chuck is doing. Thank you EEE for trusting the plan. And for trusting Jeff Sessions. Are you guys doing anything tonight? Hey EEE, what is Laz doing? Is Laz grabbing that Thai transgender dude by the groins tonight? I like Laz. But he’s like Quagmire from Family Guy.”
A national emergency will be portrayed as a political stunt. It will be useless and ineffective.
Nancy will pass nothing but Gas
Some of us have been saying this is what he’s doing.
The dems have refused to do what it takes to pay the federal employees and now Trump has trumped them and is giving the federal employees the break that the dems wouldn’t.
So who’s going to look like the bad guy now.
This is all justification for declaring a national emergency.
He’s covering all the bases and leaving no room for accusation that he didn’t at least try.
In the not too far past. ‘I’m not going to sign that budget. I might veto it.’
In the present. ‘I won’t end the shutdown until we get the funding for a wall. Well I’ll give them 3 more weeks to see it my way.’
Another Kabuki Theater re-run.
Don’t get me wrong here. I know his intentions are great. It is just that he is standing dangerously close to the edge of the plank and his Boyz ‘n da GOP pulled it out from under him.
I just don’t think he ever knew going in, really how vicious all of the gators in the Swamp would be.
Dimicans/Republicrats - A pox on both their houses.
Ok. You didn’t cave.
What I want to know is what is your response to Chukie’s asking if you had learned your lesson?
I will take the President at his word.
Needs to just do it
And all the while the invasion continues.
