The greatest negotiator since the dawn of time is being rolled by those two and some of us saw it going down just like this weeks ago.

Why should they....the gop-e is already cracking. Six sinators have defected already.
White House drafting emergency declaration to fund border wall: report
I despise you chicken-crap Trump critics who drop all loyalty the moment you don't understand something despite three freaking years of proof that Trump does not betray.
Go to hell. Do not pass go. Do not collect your lost testicles.

Did you forget the /S?
Some will see it that way, the personality cultists will see it as a canticle.
Referred to as RGV-02 and RGV-03, they are in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. One is for a total of eight miles, and the other a total of six miles. They will extend out from Western (Mission) and Eastern (Donna, Weslaco) edges of McAllen, TX. Presumably, RGV-01 will be the gap directly South of McAllen, likely to be awarded soon.
These new segments will be massive concrete upgrades to the existing flood levees (FEMA Hurricane Certified), topped with 18 foot bollards, with patrol roads, lights, cameras, sensors, and 150 ft South of the barrier cleared of vegetation.
You already see it.
They sit on their ass all day, and let Trump do all the work. Then they rail, scream, and gnash their teeth.
Then they call you a “personality cultist” , and then go back to playing solitaire on their XP laptop.
They are digital first-shakers. Eventually you just ignore them as the useless geriatrics they are.
Oh interesting.
Thank you.
$5.7B won’t build the whole wall, has always been a down payment, to be included in a CR.
Stop negotiating with yourself! Now!
“useless geriatrics”. Yup, probably close to the truth.
Actually the first clue you're dealing with a geriatric here is that they don't know any HTML commands.
More weakness - lowering his position until he just caves like on the STU speech. Not a good sign.
I think President Trump needs to get with bankers who will make temporary loans o those who are working and when they get paid back the money can repay the loans. That doesn’t help the furloughed workers, but it will help those who are working.
“BREAKING: CNN reports that the Trump administration is preparing a draft proclamation to declare a national emergency on the southern border that identifies $7+ billion for the border wall.”
$5.7 billion was slated to build 234 miles of the most expensive, difficult and important miles of the border - essentially the rest of the Rio Grande Valley, 55 miles around Laredo, and about 75 more miles across the urban areas along the border.
The massive flood levee walls in the Rio Grande Valley with all the bells and whistles (which would be largely completed with that funding) run as much as $24 million per mile. Out in the flat desert, 18 foot bollards with just patrol road and a few cameras/sensors, can be as little as $4 million per mile. The urban bollards with with a lot of extras might run around $10 million.
So the extra $1.3 - $1.8 billion beyond that $5.7 which has already been detailed, would likely build another 150 miles (possibly as much as 300-400).
So the 120 already built or contracted, plus the 234, plus the 150 would be around (conservatively) 400 miles (up to as much as 500-600) of high end effective barrier where it is most needed.
It would be a significant piece of work indeed, that will make a big impact (but not achieve full operational control of the whole border, which is the 5 year, $25 billion program).
if it contains a “down payment” for his long-desired border wall,
***********
That’s what I thought the 5 billion was, a down payment. Isn’t the whole wall supposed to cost 25 billion.
The House passed a bill with funding prior to Christmas. The Senate didn’t act, they claim they needed 60 votes.
All the Senate had to do was pass something that said border security, hand it back to the House, the House could then pass the bill with one dollar less than the 5 billion. Then the Senate through budget reconciliation could settle for 4 billion minus two dollars (Nancy’s).
Down payment? It had better be $5.7 billion.
No to the H.. compromise with liberals means we get zero and we loose liberty and taxpayer cash. Stop backing down. They never once compromised during obama, the my got everything including a return to power. This is America’s last stand.
