He says he will be making a big reveal about the government shutdown and border security at 3pm EDT at the White House

Trump says he will make a 'major announcement' on the month-long shutdown and border security in a White House speech he says he'll deliver on Saturday afternoon

Please do. Othere outlets in addition to PBS and Reuters have had the story since at least 2014. If she was unaware of the issue it’s due to willful blindness.

I’m waiting to hear Trump say what he’s going to do when the RATS refuse to deal.
The art of negotiation isn’t a gun fight where you threaten your opponent if they don’t bow down to your demands..especially when addressing the people of this country.

That’s a concept that obviously you and many people here don’t understand.....

No need to throw out insults. I didn’t expect him to threaten the RATS. But I was hoping that he would indicate just how long he’s going to tolerate them refusing to come to the table before he DOES something.

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

I just tweeted both her and FNC your link.

Fox saying that Democrats won't budge until the government is reopened.

In other words, they want Trump to give up his leverage before they play.

Trump is offering solutions to the national problem, but Democrats are only focusing on the process of negotiation. They know that if the government reopens, then the pressure will be off of them to compromise at all, while Trump's offer is still hanging out there in the ether.

It's Democrat SOP:

1. Refuse to compromise while Republicans keep sweetening the pot.
2. Pressure Republicans into giving up their "show-stopper" to continue, in this case, funding the government.
3. Once the government is reopened, Democrats refuse to compromise but insist on Republicans giving what they previously offered.

All of this happens without the Democrats ever putting an idea of their own on the table. Democrats just keep saying "No... no... no..." while Republicans keep adding compromise after compromise after compromise. When the dust settles, Democrats now have a menu of compromises to choose from while Republicans have nothing similar from the Democrats.

This seems like just another chess move to me... PR.

Of course it is, now you're finally catching on.....

So what next?

His address only ended 10 minutes ago so lets wait and see shall we?........LOL!

She also incorrectly and snidely said that POTUS claimed Mexico would “build the wall.”

Had to leave the room to cool off.

Glad I watched on CSPAN, although I’m glad I caught Fox’s coverage of the swearing in ceremony from the Oval Office of five new citizens.

n electronic layer consists of close-up surveillance systems, thermal cameras, land surveillance radar, remote-controlled weapons systems, command-and-control centers, line-length imaging systems and seismic and acoustic sensors, wide area surveillance, laser destructive fiber-optic detection, surveillance radar for drone detection, jammers and sensor-triggered short distance lighting systems.

We will have to settle for steel slats minus all the other accoutrements especially the remote-controlled weapons systems ... if we are lucky.

Trump is so great. He is such an adult in the Room. This has turned so bad for the Dems except with anti border people and Trolls trying to separate us from Trump — which will never happen as millions now flock to this greatest of all presidents. Great Mr. President. Now declare the Emergency— The courts can not stop you and you did everything you could to avoid the necessary. BUILD THE WALL___ ALL THE WALL! Keep the government closed . It has no effect on our lives.

All major networks stuck with their sports crap. I finally found it on CNN Which I never watch. Sad.

[onyx]

For crying out loud! I despise that horrid Arthel!

She’s one main reason I won’t watch FNC on the weekend!

I record Judge Jeannine and that’s it!

I don’t watch Chris Wallace either, but I watch Mark Levin and sometimes Steve Hilton on Sunday evening.

I’m so proud of our magnificent President Trump!
God bless and keep him.

[marajade]

The Senate can. But the House would have to pass something. And the two would have to conference and then pass what comes out of conference.

[Syncro]

The other day I saw a great detailed graphic of that wall
It has all the bells and whistles needed to stop people from entering a country without permission
Sounds simalar to what Trump is proposing

[mewzilla]

Thanks!

[KosmicKitty]

Yawn! Nothing Trump does looks good to you.

[PIF]

Dear DJT, we want what Turkey has on its wall especially the remote-controlled weapons systems

[AndyJackson]

There is another way to look at this negotiation. Those were the terms on the table this morning and you rejected that deal. The next deal you get won’t be so good.

[Sequoyah101]

Intrigue only begat intrigue. Call me crazy but I believe there is a whole lot of broadcast blocking going on. We could only watch this via Whitehouse Live and could not put it on the TV from the computer. I refuse to watch or rewatch this on the lousy networks. They are nothing but a bunch of lying damn yellow communists.

I don’t like all of this but it is probably the rightest thing he can do. There is little chance of the rats accepting this. pelousy hopefully being set up.

I won’t go into what I wish he had said. It does not matter.

“keep that promise one way or the other.” Sounds pretty determined to me. Hold on.
