ANTHONY BRINDISI :
“Some element of a physical barrier, better technology, more border agents are all things I support. But we also have to look at immigration reform, reform of the asylum process to clear the backlog.”
The House is what it is... Donald has to bargain even if it means some bitter pills.
Declare the emergency, BUILD THE WALL, then it wont be an issue for the liberals bitching about non-essential sucklettes not getting paid today for not working last week.
“We’re not going to do a national emergency”?
Huh? How does one “do a national emergency”? It exists or it doesn’t.
He realizes that the Dems are self-immolating over this.
When your enemy is in the process of destroying itself, get out of the way. Declaring an emergency would actually let them off the hook.
What idiots...I’m not going to do it so fast .....that’s not the same as I’m never going to do it
What we’re not looking to do right now is national emergency.
The Donald chose his words carefully on this one. “ right now” is the key phrase that means keep up the “ no deal” and I will do it then.
Not as the media will report that he is “ backing down”
Pure clickbait on their part/reinforce Nan & Schmucky with their play on words...
He needs to hold off on that until we know more on RBG. He can’t be in the middle of a fight like that and trying to get someone through the approval process.
Let’s win this thing on the field of battle.
No Emergency Declaration.
No wall, no bill.
We can outlast the bastards and deliver to them a crushing defeat.
A legendary defeat.
I'm hopeful that if another "caravan" forms and proceeds toward the border POTUS will act. At least I pray he will.
Declaring a national emergency to build the wall -- and then putting the project into a series of endless court battles that will never get any media coverage -- is exactly what these morons in Congress want Trump to do.
Don't let them off the hook. Make them do their damn jobs.
For now.
But if there is no progress with the Dems, that may be the only option left.
All kinds of underhanded crap gets done by referencing this or that national emergency no one but the bureaucrats who refer to them to justify their actions even remember.
Forget the national emergency for now. Move troops to the border and put up the same sort of bases for them we've spent billions putting in Afghanistan and Syria. Have the troops run patrols out of little bases along the entire length of the border as training for deployment to the same sort of terrain and climate elsewhere.
That's all a defense matter we already take care of further away from the border. Have the military learn to patrol a border by patrolling our own border. Anyone they stop, they can hold until the Border Patrol comes to deal with the same way they sometimes are required to hold people until government troops come to take over when they're in a foreign nation.
The first time some drug gang fires on our troops, then declare a national emergency if there's really any need for one.
President Trump is grinding the down. Stay the course dear President.
And soon there will indeed be greater cause to declare.
No Dems are gonna change on this over some calls.
Instead this is likely to go the way of the FISA declassification he was going to do, then sent for review, then said it would be a quick review before it was back to him for declassification.
Instead we’ve got our side (Trump and his crew) offering concessions left and right. Earlier this week it was great free healthcare at the border for anyone who brought their sick kids to us. Today is is more security and a path to citizenship for H1-B immigrants.
Viagra prescription ran out. Cheesedick folds in the clutch.
“DEAR DIARY....
Today the mean orange man pulled my pants down in front of the whole class, and they laughed at my lack of manhood.”
Best case is congress passes funding without border wall. Trump vetoes the bill. They override the veto. THEN he declares national emergency and builds the wall.
