The Wall. The Shutdown

I would be very curious to see whether or not he actually tries the emergency angle, and if so whether it goes through or is quickly tied up in the courts.

Even if he did that and it did get tied up in court, at least then he would have followed through on his threat.

No one takes a man seriously if he's known for empty threats. Why would anyone not just tell him to eff off in the next "negotiation" when they know that if they push back enough he'll just give in. He blew it.

I'm still puzzled why the Republicans waited 2 years to go for the wall especially after they lost the mid term ?

Same reason the D's under obama with a majority did nothing (thankfully) about gun control. Like they threatened to.


Politics.


It's never been about getting things done, since Bush II. It's become a blame game of who didn't support the opposing teams ideas.
Throw in a R party who's still butthurt an outsider won.
Honestly, that's the shame of all this shit today. IMO there's a legislature full of McCain's and Flakes.

It's the ass clown circus. I hear this every time I watch the news or read about politics:

He could have cut & pasted this speech before Christmas & accepted this same exact resolution back on Dec 22. Instead, he rejected it in 2018, shut the government down & 35 days later in 2019 signed it anyway. Brilliant, bloody brilliant sir!!

Yes he could have. The D's could have also given the same funding they approved under Obamas watch, and agreed was necessary. When he asked for it. But NOOOOOOO it's become a kids game of who's ball and bat it is.

They're all losers and should be recalled, or thrown out of office. You pull this shit in the private sector, you're out of work.
