The Dems are upset because Trump didn’t give in to them.
I think it’s good that we have a string president.
In every negotiation, be ready to walk away. Winning!

Be nice if Gov. Abbott requests Trump declare an emergency on the TX border. Same for Gov. Ducey in AZ. That would cover 80% of the wall area.
The longer the shutdown continues just proves how much we really don’t need all of those government employees.
Is anybody REALLY missing them?
I’d really appreciate some objective analysis of where we are on this.
I mean, I think Trump is doing great. But I also think he will be abandoned by the GOP, and then there’s the media. Honestly, I have a hard time seeing how Trump wins this. I also have not been following this closely, b/c it disgusts me.
Would appreciate the wisdom of folks here.
Thank you.
Let Democrats roast in the light of day on this issue.
Their lies won’t stand up to sustained scrutiny.
Controlling the narrative to stay on this issue, benefits Republicans. When Democrats are free to set the narrative, it will be the personal destruction of Trump and Republicans.
Better to fight on favorable terrain. Let the shutdown last through the State of the Union - or until Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s replacement is announced.
No problem. Go to plan B to build the barrier infrastructure and leave the dems completely out of the loop. Let the partial shutdown go on for years if need be. We will find out how many of those jobs are just a drain on the taxpayer’s pocketbook and how many are really needed.
My President! He is teaching the republicans how to fight.
If Al Qaeda members carrying WMDs powerful enough to kill tens of millions of people were arrested quite regularly in the USA, would that qualify as a national emergency, enough to close the border and build a wall?
Then why doesn’t this?
26 million........

32 million............
Imagine what would happen if some terrorist took only a small amount of that stuff and threw it around the inside of a plane or train or a concert hall or say Times Square. Just getting that stuff on your skin is enough to stop your breathing never mind breathing it in while it’s airborne, and this is a joke to Schumer and Pelosi? I’m reading stories of EMTs needing narcan shots because they OD trying to help people who ODed from this sh*t. 90% of this crap is coming from Mexico which gets it from China. China is trying to kill us and the left wants them to win.
Simple solution: Award Mexico $5b in “foreign aid”, then have Mexico build the wall with the money.
Duh, my cat could have told him it was a waste of time.
Frankly, I give the shutdown two more weeks and he’ll be forced to open it. The only ones getting held over the proverbial barrel are the workers. Congress isn’t getting punished so they can continue to say no forever and it’s no skin off their backs.
This IS a national emergency.
Even our county located 6 hours from border arrested over 60 of them LAST week. They are flooding the border and daily chases occur between CSO and these invaders causing hazards on the road as well as to Citizens property and life.
Do something before WE the People do.
Trump has to have some legal eagles looking at every option, right? Media is going to spin in RATs favor anyway so get all legal ducks in row, build the damn wall!
I really hope he wouldn’t open it up with just their word that they’d approve funding in 30 days.
“I asked what is going to happen in 30 days if I quickly open things up, are you going to approve Border Security which includes a Wall or Steel Barrier? Nancy said, NO. I said bye-bye, nothing else works!”
Absolutely. There is NO need whatsoever to re-open Government until there’s a bill funding every damn penny and authorizing the President to spend it immediately.
These two immature default thinking political hacks are no where near Trump’s negotiating league, authenticity, or IQ. DO IT UP, PRESIDENT TRUMP!
Just like Rush has been saying all these years; Democrats don’t reach across any aisles. They don’t give up anything.
This was to be expected. Now, TRUMP has beat them at their own game. YOU can stick a fork in the Democratic congress.
NOTHING Will get past TRUMPS desk!
