“Grow the hell up and get a new line. Man,I hate lemmings.

I think for myself and am terribly disappointed in the man I enthusiastically voted for.

His actions belie his rhetoric.”

Understand. I have little use for lemmings and cheerleaders either. While Trump has been personally committed to the wall he hasn’t built a political coalition. It takes votes to win. Trump doesn’t have them ... so he loses.

You’re right. I made a knee-jerk reaction to your post without thinking enough about it. Thanks for the clarification.

Agree. See my thread on Twitter or FB why a court challenge is likely to fail against Trump.

Yes. Yes he can. Now go away, negative nellie.

It’s just silly. I get sick to my stomach of the whiners and complainers in the face of the greatest president of my lifetime.

Hmmm. Well it's always good to read the arguments that go against the echo chamber, there may be something in what you posted beyond a rational argument. Trump needs our input to keep going in the right direction. He doesn't need divisive rhetoric that mimics the media's false meme about losing the base.

Probably correct, but if the whole system collapses because the societal system and expenditures cannot be sustained, then we go the route of something more like Venezuela. Normalcy bias reigns as long as the food, toilet paper and other necessities are still readily available and people or the state can provide them. When that stops, everything changes. This legislation makes the US even more attractive to invade and less able to defend itself. If the rate of invasion now increases drastically and millions storm the border over a relatively short period, then real violence may break out.

Rush: “What Congress did is outrageous” Buy a clue. Trump isn’t the problem here. We don’t elect a king.

"ncalburt, according to what Laura Ingraham said last night on Fox, the DHS isn’t interpreting section 224(a) of the bill the same way you are and they still intend to apprehend and detain. And even if the bill did inhibit the DHS from making arrests, the provisions in the national emergency act would allow the military to take over apprehension and detention duties in a declared emergency, as the language in section 224(a) only pertains specifically to the DHS, plus the state of emergency act allows Presidents to act to a specific situation where legislation falls short, for as long as the state of emergency is in place and the emergency exists."

FINALLY! Someone who understands what is going on here!

National Emergency declaration overrides all of this crap in this bill!

Interesting insofar as he was trying to tranquilize his listeners two days ago:

There’s a lot of gobbledygook spewed on this thread LS. Doesn’t take a lot to get peoples pants in knots....as if our president doesn’t have enough enemies chopping at his heals, it appears we have our own snowflakes demanding he do what they want...when..how...and...in order to their preferences.

Trumps is in this for the long haul....he’s already down the road to what is to come and he’s not finished with the border nor the illegals.....

I know, and these dumb SOB media jerks think he got beat.

It’s so funny. Even Pelosi and the rest of them are dancing thinking they pulled a good one on him.

They showed again that they and probably most of the Paul Ryans out there, need to be avoided and ignored,

He owns them all, but they’re so stupid to know that he does....
