President Trump has given it all he can, and now the Senate
has a week to do what is right.

I think we all know or at least have a good insight as to
how this is going to play out? Should this effort be refused? by the Senate. Then in short you won’t see a greased b-b cross the southern border of the USA.

President Trump is giving the Left enough rope to hang themselves.

Trump ought to start the RIF 60 day process on Tues by mailing out letters to the 800,000 federal gov’t workers that since the gov’t is closed and there’s no funding they will start the clock on the RIF.

I do hope he starts Monday on that. He should tell the rats that he’ll cut loose 100K a week until you give me the money for the entire wall.

Wonder if there is a way to transfer border patrol, ICE and Coast Guard to one of the Department’s that have already been funded

Work the votes in the background, while pushing Pelosi si she doesn’t back down.

Then vote through a winning bill, while Pelosi opposes it, thereby breaking the lockstep block voting by the Democrats.

Shatter her political support from Congress.

Nancy probably high-tailed it to Napa Valley to check on her mansion. It was invaded when her wall was violated by Laura Loomer et al.

Trump would need 7 Dem votes to get it over the House. I doubt he has them. He might have enough to put it to the floor to proceed to debate.

That would probably take legislation.

Turtle steps it up nicely.

The ball is in spooky Nancy’s court.

This should illustrate to everyone that it’s the Dems shutdown.

Pretty masterful stuff by Trump et al.

Daca Amnesty with “wall funding”. A bipartisian deal. Those always work out so well too. 1986. We had one shot and he bowed to pelosi n the fake shut down, just as we thought.
He could have used yhe 10 billion awarded to Mexico n central America to build twice the wall.

RATs are going to look like the ‘Do Nothing’ Congress. Trump has laid out VERY SPECIFIC items to debate in the media in the coming weeks. Pelosi offers nothing to talk about. Big win for a president Trump, and the SOTU is only 10 days away.

“President Trump is giving the Left enough rope to hang themselves.”

The left have the backing of the propaganda media. It’s impossible to hang themselves. No matter what Trump does, it will all be his fault in the end.

It’s time to stop this fargin kabuki theater and BUILD THE DAMN WALL

The HOR sent the US Senate a 1 bil border security bill that has funding for the ports of entry and more immigration judges. LOL

If she runs, it will be on Commercial Aircraft, until this is resolved...might be a long wait with the TSA not getting paid...just sayin...


Call up national guard to do what TSA does if they fail to show up. Wouldn’t be surprised if the training required for the most critical ( scanning ) part of the job isn’t already underway.

They probably forget that The Donald as a businessman had to prepare for potential strikes by construction , etc workers, and more than likely had contingency plans ready for any and all scenarios.

They are not dealing with the DanaPeRino/Chalkboard advised brand of republican.

This one knows how to continually up the game instead of acting so called “ presidential” above the fray...

I've said here many times that declaring a "national emergency" is an awful idea.

1. It gets Congress off the hook and lets them get away with failing to do their damn jobs.

2. It ties the "FARGIN WALL" up in endless court proceedings.

3. Combine #1 and #2, and President Trump gets to 2020 with hundreds of thousands more illegal immigrants in this country, no wall, and a thoroughly demoralized base. In fact, in that scenario I would be almost certain that you'll spend most of 2020 sitting here on FreeRepublic spewing your predictable nonsense that he failed to keep his 2016 campaign promises.
