Id love to see which non-GOP person you think is best.
Jim, if he wanted it done, it would have been done in 17'-18' when both chambers of congress were Republican.
Trump threatened a shutdown back in Aug 17' over the Wal and blinked.
But Trump did take Republicans to the mat for....Federal Prison Inmate reform which Jared and Ivanka wanted and no one else did.
I’m sure some Obama judge would try.
It’d be interesting to know how many of them really really allegedly wanted Cruz to win in 2016.
Grow a pair.... he said they have 3 weeks or he’ll declare an emergency. He has all the cards.
- An agreement publicly stated.
- A fall back if they renege which he stated he would do.
- Fed workers get paid so that is off the table.
- SOTU back on so he has a couple hours to talk to the American people, by then 1/3 of the time will be clocked off so he can talk to status and if the deal is being upheld.
Dems have nothing .... HOLD THE LINE!
I think its the opposite. Now people will get their pay and back pay and the left wont get to have stories about people becoming homeless.
Agree, if they can do it to Stone, they can, and will do it to you/to anyone.
They've been doing it for the last two years: travel ban, DACA, family separations, Asylum processing.
It doesn't matter whether they were given the power- they took it, and no one stopped them.
Youre right JimRob, if anyone can get the wall done, its Trump.
The ball is now in the Rat court, and I hope the petty nasty viciousness of the Botoxed B*tch will stay on full display in front of this country.
Defusing the sob-stories.
Yeah, as though day one was simply a walk-through.
Here is a street fighter with
- no legislative experience,
- little political negotiation experience pertinent to the Hill,
- a Congress that either was deceptively and flatly against his agenda or wasn't yet willing to support him in anything verging on the dramatic (i.e., RINOS),
- doubt as to who of those in the WH that he could trust were actually politically savvy
- doubt as to which of those could/would work comfortably with his style of management,
...etc., etc.
Finally, you and I have little or no idea of any larger national or global problems he may have been working on.
Try being the new guy in an unfamiliar profession who is charged with directing the labor efforts of several hundred strong-minded personnel and get back to us.
Both chambers were “R”, but full of Trump-hating globalist establishment RINOs. They wouldn’t even vote to repeal obamacare which they all swore to do.
Oh yee of little faith. The Dems will hem and haw for 3 weeks and will tell story after story of what will happen if we shutdown again.
They will triple down on the sob stories.
Cruz is about as tactical as they come. That’s why he’ll never be past where he is now.
And yet Reagan was able to push his tax cuts through a Tip O'Neil controlled democrat House with a Republican establishment that was also flatly against him.
Enough with making excuses for Trump, he makes more than enough for himself.
Amen, Jim
Above all else, he seems to me a patriot in George Washington's league, with the same quintessential virtues of humility and gratitude for this Nation's blessings upon himself and others.
“IMO: Trump caved to the NWO / deep state today in order to save his children from the unrestricted Mueller thugs”
Well, then we all need to do the same, pronto. It’s the only way.
In this thread for sure, I need the /s.
Yup. They were.
But it would be much easier to put the screws to them with a government shutdown than a Pelosi Congress.
Pelosi's fundraising coffers will be full thanks to her standing up to Trump and not giving an inch and she knew that every single day of the shutdown.
Nobody eats their own like FR. Nobody.
