Liberals/Democrats/GOPe 2019 Strategy, plan, mantra: “No Borders, No Walls, No USA anymore!!!!

[Texas Eagle]

You know what won't shut down during the shutdown? The IRS.

Yup. That money will continue to flow in like muffins into Rosie O'Donnell.

[Jim W N]

Since protection from invasion is one of the primary constitutional mandates of the feds (U.S. Const., art.IV, sec. 4), if they refuse, then their raison d’etre vanishes and they SHOULD shutdown.

“Trump repeated a claim made a day earlier — without explanation — that he’d recently approved 115 miles worth of border barrier. “

Hope its that “new and improved punji stick version!” Sad to say, we need the “optics” of illegals impaled on that sucker.

[Jmouse007]

We don't want a "barrier", or a "fence", we want what we were promised:

WE WANT A W A L L! <> A "fence", a "barrier" is not a WALL.

[MarMema]

There’s a post here saying the house is putting up a resolution that taxpayer funds cannot be used for the wall and that Mexico must pay for it.

[9YearLurker]

In 2009, we were reported to have more than 580 miles of fencing along the US-Mexico border.

Today, just now, President Trump said he is aiming to have 500-550 miles (on a 1989 mile border) of new or renovated barrier by election day:

That could include zero miles of new fencing/barrier and fewer total miles than we had a decade ago!

[Cowboy Bob]

At some point the Democrat parasites will demand "Just give him the damn money!"

Question is: How long will it take - one week, or one month?

[Sooth2222]

I think the EPA, or at least most of the EPA, is shut down.

If Trump had promised to shut down the EPA, I would have been even more excited to vote for him,!

[faithhopecharity]

we are winning two ways at once!

1. PDJT is pushing to get ‘the wall’...and
2. Schumer and Pelousy have shut down part of the Swamp
(admittedly only the officially-designated “non-essential” part, but this is still a big step forward!)

keep it up, guys!
MAGA!

[CivilWarBrewing]

Illegal aliens cost the United States economy at LEAST $100 BILLION PER YEAR..

And the DemonRats are b*tching about $5 BILLION for a wall?

It's NOT the money they don't like, it's the WALL they don't want BECAUSE A WALL IS PERMANENT AND NOT EASY FOR A FUTURE DEMONRAT (GOD FORBID) PRESIDENT TO UNDO!

[EinNYC]

I sure hope he sticks to the government closure until he gets wall funding. I am so afraid he will cave. I think Schumer and Pelosi should be called out as enemies of the state, wanting us to open ourselves to terrorists, freebie seekers, diseases, paths to chain migration, having non-citizens vote, etc. All kinds of really terrible things, and THEY are trying to use their offices to bring these things about. Hang ‘em, hang ‘em high!

[Travis McGee]

He should visit stretches of the border that look like half of the U.S. border to this very day, and just HAMMER the Rats for wanting as many illegals as possible to become permanent Rat welfare voters.

And keep driving this home: the Rats sent $150 BILLION to IRAN, but won't allow 5 Billion to be spent to keep their future welfare voters out.

[proudpapa]

Trump needs to announce that his request for $5B is going increase $25mm a day until the Senate approves. After 40 days it’ll be up to $6B.

And then hold firm and watch the Dems give in.

[Pinkbell]

No fence - only a wall.
