“hope you’re wrong, but I am beginning to wonder, myself.”

Pretty sad. Frees me up so I don’t have to think about it any more. I’m going to haul out my old bumper sticker, “I feel much better since I gave up hope”, have some ice cream, and watch old movies.

the White House drafted a plan that would allow Trump to declare a national emergency and use $7 billion in federal funds to secure America’s southern border by building a wall. Breitbart News Legal Editor Ken Klukowski reported on Thursday that President Trump, through the National Emergencies Act of 1976, has the legal authority to use federal funds during a national emergency to build a wall along the southern border.

Meadows said:

Throughout this process, President Trump has made numerous offers and repeatedly expressed willingness to engage with Democrats about a compromise—but failure to fund needed physical barriers along our southern border is still not an option. The President is sticking by his commitment to keep our communities safe and has assured me that nothing will deter him from accomplishing that goal. His resolve remains steadfast. Democrats now have yet another opportunity to come to the table and negotiate, where all Americans will be able to judge for themselves whether they’re truly serious about securing our border.

“If negotiations don’t result in a solution, executive action is still very much under consideration,” Meadows added.
