Shelby made the announcement Thursday afternoon. The package is expected to cost $19.1 billion. Congressional Democrats and Republicans, as well as the White House, have signed off on the deal in principle, Shelby said.

It never stops and it won’t until Trump threatens their reelection.

“It never stops and it won’t until Trump threatens their reelection.”

He keeps agreeing to it.

Shelby is 85 years old. He’s not worried about reelection.

The White House part of that equation can change in an instant.

Republicans support open borders.

They are just flat out not going to defend that border. That’s all there is to it. And they simply don’t care what the voters want.

"Chairman Richard Shelby (R-Ala.)"

This example of patriotism and bold leadership exemplifies the heart and soul of the Republican party! </sarc>

What a worthless worm.

And that is a violation of their oath of office. Each and every one of these useless bastards who refuses to protect our country needs to be removed from office... yesterday.

Agreed. That is the #1 issue to them all. They know exactly what the game is. It’s the same in Europe.

Destroy Western Civilization.

A majority of people, including some Demarrhoids, are seeing the results of illegals flooding our boarders. This will be a major issue again in 2020. Yes, Trump is caving but he is also fighting a one man battle. Continue busing illegals to liberal cities.

On another site I got into it with two people. It seemed like they voted for him, but they were rather pissed that he hasn’t done anything about the immigration mess. We went back and forth a little bit. Mostly them saying....he’s the President. he can what he wants. It’s a national emergency. Get the military down there. blah blah blah

I made the point, or at least tried to, that he gets absolutely no help from anyone, really. He is one man, fighting subpoenas, Republicans, Democrats, the MSM, illegal aliens, Governors, business leaders, world leaders, trying to get our trade agreements to benefit America for once, rolling back all of the ridiculous policies of the previous administration. They all, 2012-16, that they would repeal ACA the first thing. They had the votes and certain members turned their backs on the people, not the President, and it still stands today. He tried to declare a National Emergency, McConnell made a deal in public, only to undercut him once he signed the omnibus.

These people are such scumbags. And yet they go back, year after year after year.

Next November has the potential for violence. I’ll even go so far as to say that it’ll be more than potential, there will be violence.

There is going to be so much voter fraud, and it will be blatant, that there will be no way to describe it. It will be sad and epic at the same time. I’m beginning to wonder what this country will look like in January 2021.

Agreed. At this point, they are just going to collect from those who paid them to oppose the wall until they’re out of office. They’ll still come out millionaires, and to hell with the country. They got theirs.

The mechanism for removing them from office is called an election. In the last one, more who refuse to honor their oath of office were added.

Over.

AND blame everyone but themselves for the ongoing and inevitable deaths.

Don't even ask any more - they will just say No.

Use DOD funds and make it happen! Their reward will be a finished wall!

What choice does he have? The banks just handed over his financial records because he couldn’t get an injunction to appeal the two rulings from the leftist judges. Now he’s going to have to deal with all of that for the next 17 months. Only thing that can save him now is, if the IG report starts putting people in prison and Barr starts laying the lumber to a lot of people. Outside of that, it’s over.

Anyone thinks he has a chance next November, they’re dreaming. The Dem’s are going to outright STEAL the election, no matter what the vote totals are.

If about 2 million supporters descended into DC for a rally to show their support, he might be able to do something.

But, everyone is just sitting back....Yeah, I voted for him. I support him, but I’m too busy. He’s got it. I’m going to the beach.

The man needs some serious help, from us. He clearly isn’t getting any from the Republicans in Congress. Amash already has a primary challenger. I’ll be surprised if he even runs. But, damn near every one of them should have a challenger at this point. This is getting ridiculous.

Immediately shut down the Mexican border to everything but commercial trade (heavily inspected)
