He who laughs last . . .
From Trump:
“I wish people would read or listen to my words on the Border Wall. This was in no way a concession. It was taking care of millions of people who were getting badly hurt by the Shutdown with the understanding that in 21 days, if no deal is done, it’s off to the races!”
We will get a wall.
sS tell me, what exactly did Trump give up today?
Nothing but paying a bunch of unhappy people an forcing Nancy to the negotiate and give him the wall or she loses DACA.
Win-Win in my book.
Art of the Deal, baby.
I see you are a part of the cabal to separate The President from his base.
I guess the option is Romney.
Good Luck with that horseshit. Pay FR 500 when that wall goes up.
He injected cancer directly into the veins of government when he made liberals Jared and Ivanka senior advisers. And now that cancer is metastasizing.
He needed, and still needs wartime consiglieres and he chose pansies instead. I will be hoping and praying that he figures this out and self administers the cure for this administration as soon as possible.
For two years, the Republicans blocked the border wall, too.
They should’ve passed a bill then.
It is not profitable to second guess DJT. How many times have we winced and cried, “OH NO!” only to see DJT confound the opposition? He has not the ways of a politician and politicians always misread what he is doing as often do the rest of us because we have lifetimes of watching politicians being politicians and have developed visceral expectations of how it works.
Sometimes, FR has more weenies than Oscar Meier. This thread is one such occasion.
Trump will have to invoke the emergency statutes; the democrats will never, ever agree to funding a wall unless he grants amnesty to the thirty million illegals already here.
I am sure one of the reasons he put it off was to get Barr confirmed as Attorney General since he will no doubt need his help in any legal matters.
Let’s wait until it has played out. There is no way he was going to get 60 Senators or enough House members so open the Airports and declare an emergency.
Uh oh! Ann is offer her meds again just like right after 9/11.
.... President Trump is exhausting all stated options versed by the Democrats so that he can declare a State of Emergency without saying he hasn’t done so .....
This is a cease fire, not a surrender. In 3 weeks we will see what happens.
She’ll be “Omega” Nancy Pelosi soon - terminal brain freeze.
Consider the source. Nancy hometown paper.
re: “Unfortunately to me this looks to be true.”
Self-identifying as “The Weak Sister” then.
Thanks.
This will not end well, for Nancy, in about 3 weeks.
Apparently, you don’t see that.
Apparently, you are incapable of perceiving that end.
Day 35 of the Shut down...
My generator has finally run out of gas, we’re burning any wooden furniture we can find just to stay warm.
The shelves at grocery stores have been barren since week 2 leaving most of the town without food. Yesterday we were forced to butcher and eat our neighbors Labradoodle. It was the first meal we had in 5 days. Luckily the snow has provided us with drinking water as the utilities haven’t worked in weeks.
Marauding gangs come through regularly, stealing what little we are able to scavenge and often taking our women and children to work as slaves.
The neighboring town tried to rise up and fight them but they were soundly defeated and the entire village was set ablaze.
I try to remain optimistic but with each passing day I see society further devolve into Thunderdome style chaos without the federal governments supervision. I just pray that one day we’ll be able to return to the good times, where government employees take 40% of what I earn to pay themselves for jobs I never wanted them to do in the first place.
