Chill.
Just chill. The wailing and gnashing of teeth on the hardcore conservative side over Trump’s delaying action – really, a hudna – in the battle for the wall is way over the top and typically overdramatic.
Trump’s caved-in!
We’re doomed!
Pelosi annihilated him with her master stratagems and it’s all over for conservatism!
Oh please. Lighten up, Francises – and many of you are my pals. But you need this bucket of cold water. What happened Friday doesn’t matter.
Not at all.
Well, that’s not quite accurate. It could matter, if you decide to keep doing exactly what Nancy Pelosi wants you to do, freaking out. That’s why she employed her brilliant stratagem of just saying “No” – since you’re upset, let me point out that this is sarcasm.
It wasn’t brilliant – it was obvious. She was counting on you to set up as a do-or-die test for Trump over something where she and Chuck Schumer held a veto. Thanks to Paul Ryan and the Fredocons, the House belongs to the Democrats, and the Senate can’t pass anything without 60 votes and we have 52 plus Mitt. So Trump can’t build a wall without their OK, and the emergency power thing is no panacea – it will last about 30 seconds before some Obama judge enjoins it.
You were going to let your support for Trump be entirely contingent on the Democrats’ approval? What were you thinking?
You weren’t, and I get it. You’re emotional. No one has been used and abused worse than conservative voters. We’ve been lied to by decades by pseudo-conservatives who promised to do what we wanted but never did it even when they could. Sure, they could always manage to do the stuff the donors wanted – how about a new tax cut! – but the stuff we really wanted? Nah.
So I get that you have trust issues. You should – you’ve been burned so often you’re crispy. But now we crispycons have a guy in the White House who actually wants to do the stuff but can’t, as opposed to the establishment jerks who didn’t want to but could have. So spazzing out makes zero sense.
Get a hold of yourself. Let the “Ahoy!” crowd read from the Democrat narrative memo. You shouldn’t. You should chill.
So we lost this round? So what? We’ve lost before, and we’ll lose again. This is for the long-haul folks. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. There’s no magic wand where one term of Vitamin D cures a century of progressive pathology.
Trump’s instincts have been right all along. We doubted he could win. He did. We doubted he would actually remake the courts. He has. We doubted he’d fight for the wall, but he did, and he paid a price. Who else would have withstood the heat this long? Who would have even picked the fight?
Mitt? Jeb!? Chet the Unicorn?
Name the Republican you want to replace him with. Who’s the guy who is going to stand up to the cultural fascists like Trump? Who’s going to fight for you harder?
What’s his name?
***mumble mumble mumble***
I CAN’T HEAR YOU! WHAT’S HIS NAME!
Nobody.
I’m not ready to even accept that we’ve lost the battle – let’s see what happens in three weeks. But what was the better plan for the shutdown skirmish? Keep it going? Friday morning was bringing reports of airport shutdowns. That might have made it real to the Normals. See, we political types were watching and caring, while they weren’t. But it looked like they were about to start. Maybe Trump’s instincts, which you have to admit have been remarkable (Just ask Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit after you pump a few cups of joe into her lie-hole to sober her up), told him it was time to cut his losses. Remember Alinsky Rule No. 7?
“A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”
Did any of you see any indication at all that the shutdown tactic was about to deliver us victory, that it was not becoming a drag? Me neither. Cut your losses. Pull back here, counter-attack there.
We’ve been attacking for two years, racking up conservative triumphs you’ve never experienced unless you were one of us who was of age during the Reagan years. Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh – what other GOP president would have held course and made them happen? Trump’s remaking the courts and rebuilding our military. He gutted Obamacare and Obama’s regulations. He’s pulling us out of useless wars, useless agreements with Iran, and useless climate change scams. He’s got clarity on Israel, on the garbage mainstream media, and America’s useless elite.
Remember that in the days before the shutdown truce, we had won a huge victory over the garbage mainstream media by exposing their lies about the Covington kids and the drum-banging Frigidaireborne ranger. Buzzfeed first had its lies about the president exposed and then had to make massive lay-offs. HuffPo Opinion died. Even the SWAT raid on Roger Stone turned out to have zilch to do with collusion, as usual.
We’re winning, politically and culturally. Yeah, they’re fighting back, except that’s what opponents do, and opponents sometimes score. But if this was baseball, we and Trump would be batting .900, yet some of you can’t accept net success. It’s like some of you are only comfortable losing, but that’s not your fault. Thanks to the useless GOP establishment, you’re just used to losing.
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.
Maybe you should do as I do, and make it a rule not to do what Chuck and Nancy want you to do.
So calm down. Don’t be manipulated. If you want the wall, keep backing the only possible politician who has any chance at all of delivering one. Will he? Maybe. Maybe not. But if you don’t support him, your chances drop to zero.
We lost a fight. We have not lost the war. We only lose if we do what Nancy and Chuck want and turn on the President.
Chill.
Now, if you want to see what will happen if we abandon Trump like the Democracts are trying to manipulate us into, check out my latest novel, Wildfire, and my earlier installments People’s Republic and Indian Country. We better get out heads right and look at the long-term fight instead of wetting ourselves every time stuff doesn’t go our way. We’re going to lose a lot of fights before we win this war.
Our nation is divided. If we win elections, it is by thinnest of margins. Our elected officials are not our "leaders," they are our "representatives" and, thus, their power to act is relative to the degree of the PEOPLE'S support. It's up to us to change the hearts and mind of the PEOPLE who have become the useful idiots of the Left. Then, we need to elect men and women who will stand firm for America's principles. . .and not by 51% margins, either. We need to turn the tide so that the righteous can garner enough support to make Dem cheating superfluous.
To truly "make America great again" we have to do our job to bring to Trump a greater power, that is, more PEOPLE supporting the vision to revive our nation by returning to the principles upon which it was founded.
This isn’t over...tune in 3 weeks from now. Trump NEVER plays to lose. Like Ulysses Grant, “I can’t spare this man, he fights.”
Trust that a life-long fighter isn’t going to suddenly cave to some senile old crone who never had to fight for anything in her life.
He’s been reading my mind, AND my posts. But he said it better, and to a huge audience. Tell it, Schlicter!

Trump opened the government for 3 weeks...He still got my support.
Today is a good day!
Two of President Trump’s major campaign points were building the wall and putting Traitorhillary in prison (or preferably a noose).
The President’s chance of reelection depends on his publicly-known progress on these two issues. Trump no doubt knows this as well as knowing that the traitorous Demonicrats and RINOcrats are also aware of this.
>>>>Unfortunately, that 10% stuff was what got him elected<<<
The other 90% was Hillary being the alternative.
He had the power when Republican's owned both houses of Congress his first two years. Stop ignoring that fact.
The Republican Party should've done their job and either passed funding his first six months in office, or jammed it down Pelosi and Shumer's throats after the last election and before the house turned over to the Democrats.
That they didn't do it tells us everything we need to know about the state of the Republican Party in both the House and Senate.
Do I blame President Trump here? No. He's been calling to build the wall since he got in office. I blame the spineless Republican's in both the House and Senate for this fiasco.
Damn' them all.
What makes you think I'm ignoring that? It just proves my point... he can't go it alone, he needs Congress. Both parties.
you have an option. If Trump has done 90% then you have a weak list.
This is about showing the American People how against their interests the Democrats really are.
They are experts at hiding and they have the media to cover for them, so this is an educational experience for many people. Its also the start of the 2020 campaign.
He promised to arrest Hillary and build a wall. Batting 0/2 so far.
I voted for him based on those two things alone.
Will not another Yuuuge dose of Pelosi NO! go a long way to damage her, her party, perhaps eventually remove her ? This will show DJT has bent over backwards, taking the heat, and now must obviously declare a national emergency. All while dems prove their intransigence.
In the meantime, Trumpers in congress insist they can get money for the wall within 3 weeks. If they fail, back to plan A with even more congressional Trumpers supporting him.
Judicial intervention will surely and quickly follow, but an expedited schedule could resolve it in the SC in a few months.
Nor do I think "national emergency" opens the gates for similar future dem declarations such as climate change. (just such a court debate I would welcome before a court than soon leans right 6-3, or 5-4 at least.)
Stay the course, begin tax returns, cash your back pay, keep the airports open. I do wish the RiF procedures would begin. Reductions in force at a time of unprecedented job growth (and minimal hardship) puts us on the right track for years to come and puts people in jobs that actually accomplish something.
abortion funding up, like the money the house sent to foreign countries
coup leaders hillary and obama walking free
california public officials violating immigration law and announcing it in public, no arrests.
sanctuary cities still funded after 2 years
there’s more, but I’m getting tired of this topic. need O juice
Trump has divided patriots by allowing this Q nonsense to go on without refutation. Now he's divided the unfooled group by allowing his friends to be arrested, by failing to declassify the fisa docs, by not firing Mueller, by letting Pelosi cancel OUR state of the union, and now caving on the wall. He promised Hillary in cuffs and a wall, instead he's pandering to the Godless greedy wing of the party.
Trump's army is no longer animated by the same spirit throughout it's ranks, and he has no one to blame but himself.
+.
You speak only for yourself, you have no idea how anyone else feels.Stop making unfounded generalizations.
The President , in his announcement night, clearly said he was giving the Democrats a chance to deal in "good faith". That's because they were saying he had to open government and THEN they'd talk about border security. Now we get to see whether they're operating in good faith or not (they're not).
And at the end he clearly called the situation an emergency, which it is. So, last chance Dems, step up to the plate!
Unfounded? Even Ann Coulter is calling him a wimp. Perhaps you should research her book sales numbers. How do you think the crowds at his rallies would react if he told them he was going to let Nancy cancel OUR sotu? Cave on the wall? Allow his friends to be arrested for nothing? etc etc etc.
Half of his possibly only term is over and we don't have ONE deep stater in cuffs!
Why not wait the 20 days and see what POTUS does instead of allowing the Rat narrative to color your thoughts and emotions??
