Pelosi is a moron...

"If the President can declare an emergency on something that he has created as an emergency, an illusion that he wants to convey, just think of what a president with different values can present to the American people," she added.​

Trump did not create this emergency. Decades of crappy immigration policy did, from BOTH sides of the aisle. Trump is just trying to fix it.

I hope so. I don't like the idea of a National Emergency, just sets a terrible precedent going forward.

For example, a Dem takes the White House and declares our
Health Care System National Emergency and in turn Nationalizes it?

Or Guns, Guns are a National Emergency Federal Government to confiscate all of them. Now because of the Constitution that would fail but.... does anyone doubt that Harris, Warren or Spartacus (or whoever else is currently in that clown car) not going to try?

Despite the Dem objections they are hoping Trump sets this precedent.

True, the GOP failure in getting this done when they had control of the House is also a reason this is such a F-ing mess.

Failure all around. They are all failures. Can get nothing done at all

I hope both parties split. It is long over due.

Don't know what that means...split.

They absolutely blow..the lot if them. Rather than seek any accord...they move further apart.

Need to be removed...by vote...across the board

 

[justoffal]

It's ok

First of all the Democrats will do that anyway and suffer for it just like they did with the Senate Rules. Never trust lefty when he is doing a quid pro quo....he never intends to hold up his end trust me. Go right afukkin'head and try doing a NE on guns....the vote count in the next election will look like something from the outer limits....I only hope they do it!

For two years, Republicans refused to give Trump his stupid, vanity wall.
This week, the Republican negotiators refused to defend Trump's wall or give him a dime.
I would guess they, along with the Democrats, know Trump if full of sh't. I look forward to the day Trump's base realizes that, too.

They are really all one party....and the unity that you are seeing across the aisle points to the fact that they are the ones receiving benefit from the Cartel Money networks that have all but purchased DC. When McConnell holds a sham negations like he just did to make it look like they are trying to do something and then shuts out half the people that were supposed to be there....you know that CARTEL money is in the mix.

We have extremes in both parties that need to go (although given the current crop of idiots running on the Dem sides, they don't seem to mind the extreme left) we have too many Republicans who are completely out of touch with the people who voted for them...We have a Democratic Party that no longer represents its oldest constituency the working class and we have a GOP who is so clueless that they don't even realize they have inherited those voters.....

I look at places like the Mid-west for example, where neither of these parties has done anything for those people in 50yrs. Why Trump won it.

System was designed for gridlock.... last thing we want is politicians who can easily implement their corrupt (or just plain batshit) ideas.

Nah. Nationalizing entire industries violates the Constitution.

Protecting our borders is one of the few things the Constitution gives the Fed Govt the power to do.

That is what we need to realize somehow. Both Republicans and Democrats hate Trump because he is neither. Trump is a Populist. The people elected Trump. He is coming in with a wrecking ball to the nice little game that the Republicans and Democrats had going for themselves.

That is why I voted for Trump - because he is owned by neither the Republicans nor the Democrats. That is why I still support him.

 

[MrMike]

It's funny watching people line up in support of the Cartels and open borders versus actually supporting the security and sovereignty of USA.

No matter what happens, we will get a good view of who really is working for our interests in USA and who isn't...

So the wall ends up getting about $8 billion in funding, this year.

A president who gets things done. go figure.

Trump is especially good at getting past funding problems when building real estate.
