No it just means that the USSC won’t take up DACA this year.

Just watched it - he nailed it ...especially since Dems will decline and show they really care not a whit about those they claim to care so much about - and care even less for the People.

Linda Grahamnesty has already stated the dems were not going to deal or give in and that Trump should declare a national emergency and build the wall.

Why all this BS? BUILD THE FARKIN WALL ALREADY!!!

And KEEP the govt shutdown while you’re at it.

Something is not right.

Junkie, put your synopsis on the White House twitter or FB. or both. Maybe DJT hasn’t focused on the Democrat system of negotiating as many times as we have.

Very reasonable so I’m sure Cryin Shumer and Piglosi will dismiss it. Good political move.

There wasn’t any amnesty. The Democrats want citizenship for DACA. Trump didn’t offer that.

Grounding the Pelosi Afghan Express was a brilliant aggressive move the likes we have rarely seen against a Deep State Queen. That is two queens Trump has struck. And of course telling the legislature all Military Air lifts need his approval was an offensive move. If they turn down this deal, my guess is Trump will get very quiet and stop tweeting for awhile. Lol.

Can’t stand her. She is SO snide and obviously a leftist shill.
Just because she hasn’t heard previously about the birth control pills doesn’t mean Trump hasn’t been told that by DHS! Beeotch.

All of this happens without the Democrats ever putting an idea of their own on the table. Democrats just keep saying "No... no... no..."

To be fair, the Dems signed on to a deal that passed the Senate by voice vote and by all accounts was ready to be rubber stamped by the House.

Since then all that’s happened is Trump added a condition to what everyone else agreed to. I don’t see compromise after compromise.

So it was off the table for a year anyway. This gives them two additional years. Apparently.

My ancestors were Green Mountain Boys. I try to emulate them and keep my powder dry while waiting for Trump to do his thing. I also ensure my stash of mustard seeds stays topped up. 😄

Tuning in to FR to see what people think. I’m surprised so many are calling this a reasonable position. I agree it should help President Trump. Democrats will look in reasonable.

Trump wanted the USSC to take it up quickly. It appears the USSC didn’t have the votes to do it.

Can’t predict what is going on with Ginsberg.

FNC has one remaining problem to deal with: 8 to 11 PM weeknights.

But they’re working on it!

I thought that all appropriation bills had to originate in the House

They do. However, the Senate can take an existing House bill and gut it with new language - even if it’s completely different from the original bill.

Arthel is very ill informed and should not be an anchor on a national news network. She should be working for CNN or MSNBC.

I agree, but we're not dealing with honest brokers on the Democrat side.

We all know how Pelosi operates; look how fast she started retaliating against her own caucus who didn't vote for her. She's probably fuming at Trump for humiliating her for a third time:

Pelosi is dug in now, because to her, it's her honor on the line and she won't abide being bested by Trump. If Republicans are smart, they need to turn to Schumer to bring Pelosi back from the brink, because I see no way that Pelosi will ever agree to a Trump deal where he gets what he wants.

I can see a worst case where an immovable Pelosi faces a no-confidence vote and an attempted removal as Speaker if she persists in an Ahab-like pursuit of stopping Trump on this.

He was very sure to say we will build the wall “ONE WAY OR ANOTHER”

I think this is their last chance to compromise and save face, if not he will indeed declare an emergency.
