I’ll never vote again. If we can’t secure our borders, we don’t have a country.
**** it. I’m out. This country had a good run. It’s over
Meanwhile…
Either Trump is full of big talk and really doesn’t have intensions on acting on his threats or the FBI or Deep State has something on him. He threatens to expose them so they threaten him with revealing info.
I’ve maintained that after about a year into his term when he began easing off his threats that someone was threatening to expose something about him or his family. Just like the bump stock ban. Around the time he met with Fienstein and had her smiling ear to ear, I thought something could be up. Then he backed off for a long time but just recently signed the EO on bump stocks. There have been similar cases like this I can’t remember.
Usually the more simpler of explanations is the correct one, but I still wonder…
I am gettng tired of him backing down every time…he needs to hold his ground and show some resolve if he even thinks he is going to get re-elected in 2020.
Rush Limbaugh thinks there’s some fundamental flaw in the emergency declaration or he would have done it already.
The only alternative I can think of is that he wants to appear to be the “good cop” to the Congress’s “bad cop” so that when he lowers the boom he can say, “I’m so sorry they drove me to this. I have no choice now.”
That could be said of DACA as well but he still hasn’t picked that can back up after kicking it down the road last year.
TRUST THE PLAN!!!
Ha, ha…
Just another stage in the USA’s rapid fall towards totalitarianism. You can call it whatever other -ism you want, the differences are academic when you’re living in it.
Not good guys… not good. We had two years to do it, with the House lost, the wall will never happen.
Well in 3 wks time we will see what happens here. Trump did say in his announcement… “Trump ended his White House Rose Garden remarks by noting that if the Congress does not reach a deal by Feb. 15, the government will shut down again or he will use the executive authority for a declaration of a national emergency to build the wall”.

Because it’s not like an extra 3 weeks just gives them more time to come up with lawsuits, friendly judges, and/or blackmail threats.
If there was an Olympic sport of can-kicking, the US politicians would be all-time gold medal winners, unchallenged, and Trump would be ready to assume the podium for his gold.
Trump isn’t blameless, bit this whole BS that it didn’t get passed in the past two years is right.
The real lesson learned is that the Dems will do any thing to stop Trump, including- or maybe especially- tanking the economy. You can’t play chicken with someone that is willing to die.
What did you expect? All the starving government employees losing their houses because the President just has to have a wall. He cannot compete against that or the deep state and their open ended, never ending up investigation. Good news is you can find 5.56 at $.24/round with rebates.
If people don’t know, the economy is about to hit a rough patch. This was a drag on the economy. The tax cuts were able to offset the drag of the Chinese trade war, but Trump needs to wrap that up if he doesn’t want to face re-election with the taste of recession still in people’s mouths.
How much influence do you think Trump can have when he has to battle the opposition party and the dems 
and the FBI- not to mention the MSM.
This ain’t loaves and fishes.
Unfortunately, Trump may preside over an economic meltdown so severe that even Herbert Hoover will roll over in his grave:

(T)he complex collapse of American life proceeds as the public and its leaders fail to comprehend the forces in play. What the Federal Reserve actually accomplished with its ten years of extend-and-pretend policy was not an economic “recovery,” but a degenerative disease of the social contract. If you look more closely, you can sense what will be unleashed when the ground thaws.
There will be a reckoning in the financial markets. Something ominous is rumbling over in bonds. No more high-yield for you! Among the victims of a credit freeze in “junk” (high-risk) lending: the shale oil industry. Watch it start to roll over this spring as money becomes unavailable for the exorbitant operations that comprise fracking. The swift collapse of the shale oil industry will shock the country, but it is really just the downside of its improbably rapid and acrobatic rise since 2005 on the false premise that profits don’t matter in a business venture. Only the fall will be even sharper than the rise: a few measly years. And, of course, the bond market represents the supreme untruth of the age: that debts can be racked up forever and never paid back.
Mr. Trump will be left holding a bag so large that observers may mistake him for a Bizarro Santa Claus. But the baggage within will not consist of sugarplums. It is actually stuffed with bankruptcy filings and pink slips. A year from now, there may be no such thing as a hedge fund left on the planet Earth. Or a job opening, unless you’re really good at weeding or picking fruit. Mr. Trump will attempt a rescue, but so did Herbert Hoover, who had a good three years to try this-and-that while the Depression stole over the land like a deadly fungus. The difference, of course, is that Mr. Hoover was acknowledged as a most brilliant mind of his era, and yet Reality had her wicked way with him, anyway.
My take: Within five years we may witness such a bad economy that the Dems may finally be able to usher in their so-called Socialist Utopia and the American people will be eagerly clamoring for it. BUY YOUR STUFF NOW.
Which would quickly be followed by a Venezuela type meltdown. That $.24/round 5.56 is looking better every day. 
The debt has been going to cause a meltdown in 18 months for the past decade, and for 30 years before that. Not saying that I don’t believe it, just it never comes.
Trump was always dealt a bad hand on timing. We should have tipped over in 2016-17, but didn’t. With rates higher, something has to give eventually.
What a loser
May as well vote D next time. :jester:
