Hannity said many Dems were working behind the scenes begging to be given a chance to fix this Pelosi mess which is why govt reopened. So they had better put up or shut up. Repubs tried to get three different bills passed to get employees emergency pay but only six Dems voted for it. I'm assuming these six are the ones defecting from Pelosi. So the Dems will look really bad this time if they don't get something productive done.
We will get our border barrier. It's just a matter of when. I don't know why so many Loony Leftists are afraid of a high fence.
If Hannity isn't worried, I'm not worried. Let's face it, he has inside information that none of the presstitutes have.
I can’t find a source that supports your claim Republicans tried to get three different bills passed to get employees emergency pay.....Can you provide a link, please.
No he definitely caved. His previous position was no government reopening until wall funding was delivered.
But he was correct to cave. His self inflicted wound on federal workers as a political bargaining chip was shameful.
His approval rating disparity has hit negative 15 in the RCP average as well.
He "caved" the same way that he "caved" with Kavanaugh.
Dems got the investigation that they obstructed, protested, cried and whined about, and then what happened? Kavanaugh was confirmed and Trump got what he wanted.
Pelosi could give him his SOTU now, or make him wait until there is a permanent end to this. Trump made a statement in his 'speech' that pretty much precludes his ability to declare a national emergency in three weeks. He said he "chose not to declare an emergency now."
So good luck arguing there is an emergency in 3 weeks.
And if he ends up shutting down the government again--he really could be impeached--due to popular opinion.
HE also claimed that the "border was tight" on December 20th. What changed that the border went from "tight" to a national emergency in a matter of days?
Even though I think Trump makes Nixon look like an amazing president by comparison, I will give him a lukewarm thumbs up for reopening the government that he purposely shutdown ... even if we will probably be back to a shutdown in three weeks. At least people who rely on being paid to be able to live will be paid.
Pelosi knew that Trump would break if he couldn’t have his State of The Union speech... and the manchild cracked. She’s the real deal maker here.
U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday said a deal had been reached on legislation that would reopen the U.S. government through Feb. 15.
"I am very proud to announce today that we have reached a deal to end the shutdown and reopen the federal government," Trump said at the White House.
1. It shows who the adult is (President Trump)
2. It actually gives the leftists a chance to HONOR their commitment to negotiate for real not these idiotic wall non starter speeches they keep giving
3. If the leftists refuse to do as they said it shows the ENTIRE COUNTRY they are liars and frauds and don't care about American's security nor the security of America as a country
4. President Trump does as he has had to do practically his entire Presidency and save America from those trying to destroy it for political gain and declares a National Emergency and yep leftists will run to the 9th court and it will get overturned eventually at Supreme Court and then we can build ENTIRE wall and don't have to deal with the America hating leftists.
You seem to be under the mistaken impression that declaring an executive emergency will result in $7 billion being applied to wall construction. That is not correct.
The money would be taken from the budgets of other government agencies including 3 billion from the defense department's building fund needed for military construction projects. It is pretty doubtful that the courts would permit the president to reapportion funds as he/she sees fit. The constitution is very clear that appropriations are solely up to Congress. It would be a terrible precedent to boot. Trump, and any president, has to work within the rules the constitution has set forth. It's really elementary. If he can't get Congress to give him the money for a wall, he can't build one.
Trump played a game of chicken and lost, and it was all for what?
I have no confidence that a magical plan is coming that will blow him away. It will be the same plans he rejected over a month ago, proving this was all for nothing.
If Republican Congressmen wanted a wall then it would have passed the senate last year. You want a wall then do it the right way and get it through congress.
How? You forget we will ALWAYS need 60 votes and we only had 51 GOP senators so you can do the math.
Trump reopened gov't with no border wall funding NONE.
Not a single Trump supporter should be happy.
