I’m okay with this for right now. We have plenty of time. Meanwhile, less illegals are even trying to cross over. Many are going north to Canada.

As long as there's a strong alternative in place, such as ensuring the current unwalled portions are tightly patrolled and guarded until the $$$ can be successfully beaten out of the traitors in Congress wanting to deny it.

“I know, we could take the capital building apart brick by brick and use them to build the wall. Are these people insane?”

They are lying, useless, overpaid vermin on both sides.

We just had the biggest win in political history and they’re actively trying to sabotage Trump’s Presidency so they can get some bought-and-paid for stuffed suit in there in the future who will turn a blind eye to their corruption and laziness.

Why are you blaming Trump for Congressional back stabbing?

Cover the wall with solar panels and wind turbines and the greenies will be on-board.

A wall has been erected in the beltway to halt the Trump agenda. All of it!
They think that obstructing for 4 years will leave us blaming Trump for not keeping promises. While I fully appreciate the fact that the entire Swamp is fighting back, I expect results from the master of “ The Art of the Deal”.

Thus far he has been on defense and distracted by the subterfuge of fake news and democrat/media concocted false allegations. I fully expect the 5X harder counter punches to begin but then again, I’ve been expecting that for weeks. Time to ramp up the offense and take control of the narrative with truth, President Trump!

excellent post! you’ve summarized my wrath perfectly.

We still need a revolution/civil war. Trump can’t fight this alone.

under a CR “emergency functions” continue. The President has a lot of discretion in determining what constitutes an emergency function. E.g. the Pres can shut down large swaths of useless bureaucracy while keeping field intel and operating military forces running. Oh and “protecting” open natural land from the citizenry, e.g. closing national parks and monuments is not an emergency function.

I thought this was passed during the Bush years. The money is there.

I will say this. There are many in the media, in the party, and yes, here on FR who continually doubt, criticize and openly defy Trump on one issue or another. In the end he’s been Always... yes always right.

I say we give him the support he needs to get the things he wants done.

For example, the outcry on the ACA. Trump wanted it passed. That’s enough for me.

Another. Huckabee wants Trump NOT to defund NPR or PBS. Geez Louise.

I wish our side would just back the guy up.

Remember when GW demanded they fund a fence then pulled the funding after the election?

They couldn't give two F's about the working stiffs in America. They dance to the music of the rich and become rich themselves through insider information and kickbacks.

The democrats don't either but they don't ever get the blame do they? The GOP has enemies within just as sure as FDR's government was full of Commies, the GOP is infested with democrats with an R beside their name.

Can anyone show me a DINO? Neither can I.

GOPe it’s strategically thinking ahead to 2018 and 2020 elections. They win nothing if things settle right now when no election is happening. Just simple fact.

You and they are not to wise because there is no way that the democrats will be blamed for this stalling.

Right. Imagine a government shutdown over this issue.

Hah!

But my concern — are there enough sell-out clinton-bag RINOs to override the veto?

However, Harry Reid ignored all that to nuke the filibuster for most nominees, using a simple majority vote.

There is no guarantee that he would get 50 votes to undo the filibuster. We have more than two traitors within the gate.
