Sorry, I know Trumps back is up against the wall. But I think these are empty words. Id be more impressed if he stood his ground on the funding bill, like he promised he would do.
That’s where I am at. Just shut it down and force McConnell and Ryan override his veto. Let the country see how little the GOP cares about immigration and border security.
Thank goodness the Democrats never have any problem accepting responsibility. Their tireless self examination of culpability for failed programs which waste tax payers dollars can been seen in how they currently blame republicans for Obamacares amazing success/p> I Did you save $2500.00 while keeping your doctor?
“The ungrateful response Trump gets from many on here makes my blood boil.
Guess what? Nobody but a man of sheer courage, strategic genius and incorruptible patriotism could have defeated Hellary and saved the Republic from tyranny.
If it was not for Trump the people who complain about him here would be breaking rocks in FEMA camps”
THIS
I don’t believe it for a second.
Go over them, under them, around them or through them. The objective is on the other side and whichever route opens up, run for the daylight.
Full frontal assault, plus bold action and really quick reflexes, can work for the best football teams, and it is working for Team Trump.
“That is his fault for not effectively directing his support at both parties in Congress.”
Yeah, blame the victim. Smart.
President Trump is the only one following through on his word. He can’t get the Chamber of Commerce special interests Republicans and Democrats to agree to do anything.
Do people ever wake up and have a clue into reality?
What is “courageous” about punting a CR with no wall funding to Nazi Pelosi and a Democrat Congress? President Jeb Bush would have done the same.
Don't put my friends mommy in jail daddy!
He'll go to the mat for a Kushner family project like Federal Prison Reform that no one was asking for but won't keep his largest campaign promise on building the wall.
If we dont get what we want one way or the other, whether its through you, through a military, through anything you want to call, I will shut down the government, absolutely, Trump told Schumer on live television. And Ill tell you what, I am proud to shut down the government for border security, Chuck, because the people of this country dont want criminals and people that have lots of problems, and drugs pouring into our country.
First Mexico would pay for it.
Then Congress would fund it or the government would close.
There is no wall. Will be no wall. It won’t be pretty. It won’t have metal slats. And it’s not $5B anyway. It’s more like $25B to maintain it into the future.
Never. Going. To. Happen.
No, but he can go on TV, and go directly to the Americsn people.
Only 12 more days for GLORIOUS to arrive...
I think that everybody underestimated the influence of the anti-Trump, deep state swamp.
Crooks want to control the power to tax.
I believe police are the primary means to protect us citizens.
Sadly, I agree
Agreed.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

[He hasnt kissed up to Putin youre delusional]
The majority of GOP voters are strong on defense. This means adversarial to countries that have thousands of nukes aimed at us. That includes countries like Russia and China. To smack Putin around in reality while pretending to be nice to him in public is politically retarded. There is a reason why most GOP presidents are hawkish on Russia in public. That stance not only motivate most GOP voters - it also appeals to hawkish Democratic liberals who are apprehensive of traditional Democratic dovishness.
President has to fight both parties in congress, and the MSM (fake newsers).
Now he can’t rely on the “fair weather” supporters on FR.
I am one of those Govt employees who would be sent home in a shut down. But I am ok with that if President Trump will simply NOT fold...he said Wall funding or shutdown....now a day later, he folds?!
That is the problem Republican voters have long had...they get the hot air while the Repub leadership delivers the goods the Dems want. Why can’t we have leadership with strong people like the Dems have? They are evil, but they don’t fold...so frustrating....thought we finally had someone with guts in Trump....
Trump signing the (zero to Wall, 10 billion free sh*t$ to Mexico, etc) bill....will doom his 2020 reelection chances maybe...hurt turnout for sure...and will hurt Repub Base turnout (which is what the Repub leadership obviously wants....
Preach it. People here are talking like it’s DJT’s last day in office and he just restarted Obamacare.
Oh yeah, it’s Ryan’s last day in office, and he did gave us Obamacare in the first place.
