In 3 weeks Trump should say the government will remain open for business, declare a national emergency and build the barrier with the 7 billion from the Pentagon. Problem solved.

Do I have to do everything around here?

You got that right George lost MOST of the battles. But he was focused and knew when to dodge and weave and parry...

“The whole secret lies in confusing the enemy, so that he cannot fathom our real intent.”

Sun Tzu, The Art of War

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

“Thus we may know that there are five essentials for victory:

1 He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight.

2 He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces.

3 He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks.

4 He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared.

5 He will win who has military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign.”

Sun Tzu, The Art of War

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”

Sun tzu, The Art of War

I believe George Washington lost a lot of battles during the Revolution.
====================

Washington also executed traitors, he didn't have lunch with them.

Ann is just out to sell books, forget her. Trumps accomplishments speak for themselves, more than the past 5 Presidents combined. The wall will be built. Have a little faith!

From the excellent article-
“Think about it – what do Nancy and Chuck want you to do right now? They want you to say “Gosh, Trump didn’t get the wall yet so I’m going to stop supporting him” and to give up in despair.”

If we don’t get immigration under control none of the rest of it will matter.

Bump!

So those of us that have lived along the border and have had to endure all of the ramifications of illegal immigration for years...DECADES, are really just over reacting when our vehicle for change, DJT appears to have capitulated to the left? Uh...yea...no! We will see what the next 3 weeks holds. If DJT allows the socialist/leftist win out over the wall issue. Donald is a one term president. I am cautiously optimistic that at the end of this 3 week period, if he does not receive a deal to provide appropriation for the construction of border barriers...he will declare a national emergency. So..we wait. Yet again. After a few decades...what's a few more weeks...right?

Exactly. A nation-wide proglib super majority (like Calif) opens up a couple of possibilities. The first and easiest would be to simply expand the number of SCOTUS seats to dilute the 4-5 conservative votes. The second would be to impeach certain conservative justices.

The third would actually be the most constitutionally sound, but would also indicate the turning point was far past: a DNC super majority could simply ignore judicial overreach - as many as us have suggested Trump do with certain rulings. Don't be surprised if the proglibs finally decide Marbury isn't in their best interest, and simply declare the black robed tyrants are undemocratic (they are) and in violation of the constitution.

There's another point we should consider, which is that this situation isn't really Trump's fault. The die was cast by many, many event that took place 50-60 years ago. Watch some old video of NASCAR, etc from the 60s - all those people you see are the culprits. They hadn't a clue what was happening behind the scenes, but the poison pill(s) where taken on their watch.

Trump may or may not have fully appreciated the full situation, but it's clear labeling it the 'swamp' was way to limited. In fact, 50% of the country - and growing - are perfectly happy to alter, reform and destroy the culture of independence that was inculcated for over 400 years. The DNC is simply opportunistic - their motivation is power, control & wealth, and there's plenty of that to go around by just allowing (and helping) the future unfold as expected. Smart GOPe are also in on the program, knowing that the future is pretty much set, so make hay ($) while the sun shines today.

It’s easy to say ‘chill’ when you don’t feel the pain.

They sandbagged Reagan, Bushes lied, Clinton and Obama never tried. The remaking of America via mass migration has been someone’s plan for a long time.

The wall & immigration control is the hardest, most obstructed, most bitter fight since the civil war, and operatives from the enemy will try to get us to drop our support for Trump and the wall any way they can.

I expect impeachment if he uses executive power to build it.

The powerful are afraid of that more than anything. Why?

Answer: they want to end America.

Is it 90%? Just curious. Kurt is right though. President Trump’s actions and policies have been in line with his promises.
