Shut it down AND declare an emergency. There should be no doubt it’ll be taken yo the 9th
Ok, I can go with that!
I’m not sure I agree with Trump on this but I trust he wants what we want. I’m with Trump 100%
I have heard “hold the line” many times during this political dog and pony show. My estimation is that we did not hold that line. Maybe I am missing something with future events to be played out.
Trust Trump. He just added another ace to his hand. The Congressional Research Office confirmed that he can use Pentagon counter drug money to build the “fence” in “drug trafficking” areas. Which is just about everywhere, because they will keep moving as the walls get built.
Hannity is just as gullible as he was on election day in 2012. Hannity gushed when Bill Cunningham told him the lines at polling stations in Pubbie areas in Ohio were around the block.
The best way to sell unicorn poop is to tell Hannity something he wants to believe.
Trump looks like the good guy who did what was needed to be done for the people because he cares about we the people. Pelosi and Schumer could care less about the hurting people because of their hatred Trump and the desire for power. In this case he put we the people ahead of himself. People with a heart will realize how hateful and non-caring the democrats are.
Pretty much describes Hannity. You got a love him but he lives in a different world.
Sure he could have, but this way he's showing the mushy middle that he's the bigger man in this fight.
This is politics. He has to position himself on the high ground in order to solidify and grow support for his plan.
Most especially if he thinks he's going to be forced to call a state of emergency and go it alone on the wall.
He'll need all the support he can get.
From statements made by various ‘rats, including #2 in the House Steny Hoyer, over the last week or so I believe there are a number who would be willing to vote on a deal including what Trump wants - they have to have the courage to come out in public and buck Pelosi though, and that’s where the holdup seems to be - maybe the three weeks will make a difference - but I’m not holding my breath...
It is Pelousy’s job to defeat him in 20 she has the power hand with the speaker job. If a dem wants to support trump, she will withhold PAC and campaign money from the DNC or primary them out of congress.
I'm thinking that Trump is easing the pressure so that people will develop even more horror of the possibility that it will be reapplied.
He hasn't given up his ability to shut down the government in 3 weeks, and some weenies in the Senate (Mitt Romney, prominent among them) are already working to backstab him, and so I think he's doing exactly what he needs to do under the circumstances.
He's going to look reasonable, and Nutsy Pelosi is going to look like the mad cow she is.
Also the text of this thread topic encourages me. It seems to have the ring of truth about it.
Well said.
Reagan believed them in 1986. How did that turn out? Badly.
“No they won’t. Most of the people in this country are stupid”
Absolutely. The evidence is.........Nancy Pelosi, has been running the government after the Republicans lost the House.
Yep.
“and buck Pelosi”
What is about Pelosi that gives her so much power? Seriously.
No doubt she has power.
She can raise a lot of money for the party - and she knows where all the skeletons are buried - that’s the usual reason thugs hang on to power in government......
Now Idiot Hannity can tell us how Great the FBI ‘Rank & File” are. No, they would Blow your arms off, as they did in Ruby Ridge to a Mother holding her baby. They are the Fed’s Stasi.
