The American people forget these “shutdowns” faster than what they ate from breakfast. Did the last “shutdown” keep the Democrats from re-taking the House? They simply do not care.
Trump should continue do as he has said, regardless of the political consequence.
#BorderSecurityShutdown
If I'm not mistaken, the Line Item Veto was found unconstitutional by the Supreme Court back in 1998
Senator Flake and Corker are more interested in getting their fat retirement checks. They could care less about doing what is right for the country.
If Trump can continue to hold tough and if the monies appropriated is cast in stone and not a “continuing appropriation” I will be thankful.
However, the numbers of illegal people in the U.S. often anchored by a child born here and the thousands of Central Americans slipping through now with questionable asylum claims, is a time bomb which will destroy our Constitution and our culture.
These people must be deported.
But how? Trump has very little time.
I think Trump was going to cave until Nancy gloated and the base erupted.
That is simply phenomenal. Gives a great testimony as to how critical border security is to the American people.
(If it's not essential, why are we paying for it? Make the House completely useless for the next two years!)
The top of the list for a shutdown should be any form of congressional or senatorial remuneration. Pay, per diem, expense accounts, private planes (”Madam Speaker”), all should stop on day one.
Big mouth Schumer looked very angry, scowling in yesterday’s brief, softball press conferences. He kept repeating his themes - “Trump shutdown”, “Trump temper tantrum”, concern that people have all ovwer the world about Trump, over and over again. Of the sparse questions, not one asked him first if he thinks that there is an illegal immigration problem on the southern border. I can’t see him winning people over to his side as he seems angry, having his own temper tantrum.
I think you're right. If he caved, his presidency was over.. Now it has a chance
The RATs cannot cave, and neither can Trump.
The democraps have started the bidding at $0 and have drawn a line in the sand at $0, POTUS at $5.7 billion. The longer it plays out, the more illegal border jumper stories will occur, should go to Trump’s advantage as the democraps will look as unreasonable to the average person in light of a problem that they tell our lying eyes it is not a problem. Trump I am sure will back off that number to show how reasonable he is.
The democraps best alternative is to let the current GOPe Congress pass it, then try to shut the door in the future to any additional funding. These guys thought they had Trump defeated 2 days ago, and were ready to dance in the streets. I think Trump saw the ghost of Geo HW Bush when he went to bed that night. Now all Trump has to do is to tell Congress to stay in session instead of going home for the holidays.
This morning’s copy of my Gannett newsrag says that 5 bil in wall funding was added and passed. Winning!
The GOP should make the Dems actually filibuster.
1982 is calling, they want their copy of USA Today back.
I Remember. 1995 lost govt job at EPA due to shut down.
Schumer hates everything. He always has. He always will.
And he is not alone, for ALL of the left hates everything.
The trick is...many of them hide it.
Schumer is too stupid to hide it as he walks with his head hanging down, never looking people in the eye and never smiling, instead he smirks. He makes it easy to dislike him.
It’s actually $5.6 Billion, not just 5 Billion
He reminds me of a snake.
