How dare you dispute this liberal moral victory.

Ironically, this democratic chest pumping is why Trump has no intention of giving up his wall when the 3 weeks is up and the government is shutdown again.

Not to mention that the decision about border security is right back where it should be - in Congress.

Trump's ham-fisted effort to take over the legislative power has failed.

It's not about the left or the right, it's about common sense! Trump will not get re-elected over this, he dug his own grave. He could have went about it a better way! Yes, securing our country is important, but what Trump did was act like a child because he was not getting his way!

All that and Trump walks away with NOTHING! He couldn't even salvage any honor or save face in his long-winded speech.

Conservatives: Let the left gloat. How many times do they do this only to be slapped down later down the road?

Guaranteed Trump did not give this up without some long term vision, so let them call him stupid, let them gloat, let them think whatever they want. We will, as usual, get the opportunity to laugh in their face when, yet again, they get proven wrong.

Lefties: Go ahead with your insults.

Righties: Just wait.

So, Trump just finished speaking. Three week funding extension durin which time Convresz is expected to pass a bill with funding for the wall. If they fail, then it appears the emergency order will be signed and implemented.

Democrats demonstrated that standing up to a bully works.
