That baffles me bc the law is the law. If we have funding for it in the past why don’t we have it in the future. It’s done just build it
Yeah, I think Trump is trying to seem more reasonable though. I agree that it’s a terrible strategy because most anti Trumpers will simply never convert
The Dems will look good, can say we gave $25 B to “border security” like “enhanced” checkpoints at crossings to scan for drugs, which will do nothing toward the flow of people.
A wall means nothing if policy allows for illegals to get visas or claim amnesty.
This shutdown agreement can’t be good
It almost certainly includes some kind of amnesty if we’re getting fence funding. The wall is already dead.
Grrrr
Every agreement trump proposed should have demanded $5 Billion in addition to what he asked for, and keep increasing the amount until the Dems bend the knee
The full “wall” is expected to stop 100k illegals a year. The amnesty numbers are between 800k and 2 million. So 8-20 years worth of illegals for a fence
But he wants to appear magnanimous. Which won’t work with the media anyway
His obsession with the NYT liking him is his Achilles heel
And it’s so damn frustrating
Because like it or not he’s a narcissist
Boomer mindset. “Why don’t they like me”
I love the guy but he is
@Nome Sayings literally that
He’s going to come out today and say we are doing the temporary provision, bc I’m such a nice guy and want to pay the federal workers (who hate and work against him), I’m offering the Dems all these goodies that they want but they’re the radical party and won’t take it
And chuck and Nancy are laughing behind the scene
Capitulation
Never ever ever works with the left
I’ve watched them retreat for 30 years
Never ever do they move forward. The question is always how far back.
Makes it easier when you acknowledge they never were “your” reps
Makes me angrier
Not easier
True...
“The border security debate will continue while the resolution is in place, but the move is designed to take the stress off the system and assure that federal workers get paid. “
Trump live now
Piss earth 2046 "guys we are so close to wall funding you don't even know"
Muh federal workers.
Shed a tear for all the six figure salaried democrats that couldn’t manage to put together a six month rainy day fund
oh no. those poor federal workers
all those pensions and benefits and pay
"Non-essential".
they'll all get paid eventually anyway
I still remember the 30-year Federal employee in Nebraska complaining that he had to pay his mortgage AND two car payments
made me wonder if the guy had gone absolutely mental (he had)
Did you goys see the Muslim congresswoman’s tweet
Oh I meant guys but I like that better
