Then whatcha gonna do? Go to a corner and start sobbing?
Well, let’s find out. Because if the wall isn’t built the republic is gone anyway. Trump will lose in 2020.
This is a do or die. It is literally a war that is being waged on Americans.
Trump is back to playing 3D chess. If nothing gets done in 3 weeks it will be on the dems not getting anything done.
It’s their decision now whether it closes again or not.
declare a national emergency after three weeks and is strongly hinting he will. That will not be a cave, and it will be up to a conservative majority Supreme Court to decide if he acted lawfully.
You need to look beyond the issue of who is winning the days news cycle. The Dems win today, but I see no reason why he wont declare a national emergency- the worst that can happen is the courts stop him, but, if that happens, he can still say he tried.
THIS IS THE NEXT STEP. NO COMPROMISE FROM THE DEMS ON A BORDR SECURITY/BARRIER SYSTEM FOR THE NEXT THREE WEEKS. THEN A POSSIBLE FURTHER SHUT DOWN AS THE SUPER BOWL IS OVER (AND THAT IS AN INDICTMENT OF JUST HOW UNSERIOUS AND SHALLOW AND FECKLESS A LOT OF THE AMERICANS THE DEMS WANT TO ‘REPLACE’ ARE)
Sorry I am not yelling. I hit the damn ‘caps lock’ key accidentally
With the SB out of the way another shutdown even longer and a clear threat of a national emergency declaration. In spite of this being within the President's powers several prog judges on the 9th Circuit or somewhere else will issue an injunction to stop this. Will the President refuse to recognize the injunction as an improper and unconstitutional infringement on executive powers and push ahead. I hope so, but the excrement will hit the fan and parts of the federal bureaucracy including parts of the military departments will either refuse to act or stall by malicious compliance tactics. The dems will certainly use these events as a basis for voting Articles of Impeachment. After that who knows other than it will be a hot summer inside the beltway with huge amounts of media screaming 24/7.
“Declaring a national emergency will be slapped with a permanent injunction by a district judge within an hour of its proclamation. Will take months to get it to the USC, and its not a sure bet that they would lift it.”
And Trump could slap an injunction on the judge or round him up in the dead of the night. It would be just as ‘lawful’
He should have ignored all of these unconstitutional edicts from the courts but his advisors farked him.
Trump has given, now the Democrats must give. If not, another shutdown.
If there’s no wall we are done...And Trump is done...We know this...Trump knows this...We may not get the wall...But Trump’s Presidency will live or die on that issue...I believe he will not give up until there’s nothing left to fight with... I won’t abandon...I’ll go down with the Trump ship, if I have to...
Thank you...we know our president has no back-up among elected wussies so he has to know that we are still here!
It's not over until the fat lady sings. Either way this isn't good
I don’t see it as a cave. He said if there is no resolution in three weeks then the government will shut down again or he’ll declare a national emergency and have the military build the wall, upon which the uber-liberal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals will issue an injunction, at which point the matter will have to go to SCOTUS.
These emergency conditions have existed for years including the last two when he was in power. Now he adds another 3 weeks. He should have acted two years ago when he first took office. His own inaction and delays in declaring, contradict the litany of problems he says constitute an emergency.
He hasn’t caved unless he refuses to declare a national emergency and divert money elsewhere to build the wall.
I haven’t seen a follow up post by he/she/it?
Must now be supporting 1 of the 25 dims running for president?
Enough with this 3-dimensional chess crap.
Trump surrendered, Pelosi didn't budge.
“And the 9th circuit will shut him down.”
The Fraud’s pwned Hawaii judge will want to do it first.
We have no border, no one will stop the ceaseless invasion of tens of thousands of criminal, lawless, illegal aliens and disease ridden, skill less hordes from third world South American hell holes from swarming over the border to infest your states, cities and towns, go on welfare for life, take your jobs, your benifits, your medical care and your educational benifits FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES UNTIL THEY HAVE SUCKED THE SYSTEM DRY AS YOU ARE TAXED INTO IMPOVERISHMENT TO PAY FOR IT ALL AT YOUR OWN EXPENSE.
These same LAWLESS illegal aliens are going to VOTE, REPLACING all AMERICAN CITIZENS. They are going to VOTE for communist, socialists DEMON RATS who are going to GIVE THEM EVERYTHING THEY WANT at OUR EXPENSE just so long as the masses of illegal aliens keep THEM IN POWER!
Welcome to third world, banana republic Amerikka.
Better stock up to protect yourself, your family, and your property because no one else will, our own government has just sold all America and American CITIZENS DOWN THE RIVER!
Too much!!
hahaha!
What have YOU done to help him?
I have been fighting the battle for border security for decades...I have all but stopped posting border threads here on FR...they get around 20 responses usually. This is a long hard fight for those of us who live on the border and have been at this a long time. We never WIN...never. Every scrap we get we are grateful for, every cent...every piece of the layers of border security. No one wants a wall more than we do, we have barb wire cattle fence and most of it doesn’t even have a road for Border Patrol to patrol! We got another group of over 300 illegals in my area last night. One of them has been already diagnosed with flesh eating bacteria...though we are told they are all healthy and we are racist to say otherwise.
We are made promises, and they are broken. We are shafted and if we get anything it is progress. That is how all of the border security we have now has been delivered. Scraps, crumbs.
Look into the Secure Fence Act...one of the biggest scams pulled on the American people. We thought we won that... The politicians passed that, supposed to really fence the border. They built about 40 miles of the fence they were supposed to build...then Congress amended it and after that they built all sorts of fence- mostly vehicle barrier and put it where ever. Congress also did not fund it so then it was all over. Remember when Obama went to El Paso and said the border was fenced and asked if we wanted a moat with alligators? Then laughed at us? That was directed at those of us down here that have fought every step of the way for border security. He was laughing at us because we still have barbwire and he knew it.
I voted for Trump because he seriously does want to fix this, he cannot do it by himself. He didn’t and still doesn’t even have the support of enough Rs and now we lost the house. The only way real border fencing or security will happen is if we the people give the politicians no choice. I still support Trump and still firmly believe he will do all he can.
Those of us in this for the long haul have recently had a victory- the media reports. It has been all but impossible to get the media to even report what is going on down here. We have been hounding them until now they are at least reporting some stories. Again crumbs...but we will take what we can get and keep fighting.
The #neverTrump FReaks are smelling blood again.
Trump’s campaign will surely implode now!
I suppose I need the /s.
He gave them a 2 or 3 week deadline to fund border security or he will declare an Emergency and then it is off to the Courts we go. This way he can say that he exhausted all his options and Congress is ineffective and not acting on behalf of the American people. Kind of waters down the Dictator narrative which will happen anyway. He will get his SOTU speech to outline this problem in even greater detail by putting faces on the problem.
So it is off to the Courts. Anybody talk to John Roberts lately?
