He needs extra time to wipe off all the egg on his face.

I don't either. He's going to do a short term deal, and give his stupid speech, or go to Florida to play golf and then come back and start fighting all over again.

People totally underestimate the size and insecurity of Trump's ego. But, if he declares a national emergency, his ratings will be in the basement.

This man is an affront to the nation. He is opening the government so he can give a speech and feel important and golf. Many are well aware of this.

Still it's Nancy's win. Didn't someone nickname her 'Neutering Nancy' this morning?

First it was going to be at 1pm. Then 1:30. It's after 2pm now.

So maybe it was all a prank.

Maybe LaGuardia shutting down, and less than half the IRS workers showing up, etc. wasn't enough to get this shakedown ended.

I guess whoever posted this had to be first, even though no announcement has been made yet.

Liberals hate when you bring up the truth and old history. If Obama was still in office and told them it was good, they'd all be in line to get it built.

Trump bad man, must resist everything

The spin he's going to put on this non-victory will be hilarious, unless he surprises us and is honest....Nah

I'm telling you, it's just purposefully created drama.
