Hardball.

The RINOs will say, “I wondered why that ball kept getting bigger and bigger, and then it hit me.”

In addition, I believe he has the authority to keep them in session - as in “no recess” until something is done. A very smart freeper cited the clause that allows him to do it. Sure would be fun to watch.

They should end just because: 10th Amendment

But I also don’t seem to recall any money actually bring appropriated for this and it, or something like it, was only “funded” because Obama was fast and loose with F/FM’s books, stealing from them.

August in DC is like being in a hot and miserable hell hole. The Temps get into the high 90's to 100's and the humidity is in the high 90% level.

So keep them there if he can. Mess up their vacations and their love life.

Make it hurt.

Any Senators against repeal should be stripped of their chairmanships.

Collins chairs the Senate Committee on Aging.
Murk chairs the Senate Energy Committee.
McCain chairs the Senate Armed Forces Committee.

Yes, but if he does this he runs the risk of alienating Republicans, Democrats and the media/s

He shouldn’t merely “threaten”, he should DO IT...and DO IT IMMEDIATELY. I believe there’s a court decision that those payments are illegal so he should immediately ACCEPT THE COURT DECISION, DROP ALL APPEALS OF THE DECISION AND NEVER MAKE ANOTHER ILLEGAL PAYMENT.
