So we're celebrating that thousands of scofflaws continue to show their belligerence for U.S. Immigration law and break in, illegally, to our country?
Did you see the news today? Air traffic controllers are now calling off because they are not getting paid. Workers processing tax return refunds are calling off because they can't afford gas to ge to work. It's disrupting our entire country! Plus, by thousands of workers not getting paid it's hurting OUR economy!
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!
In what alternative fact filled world do you live in that you think this is a win for Trump?
He creates a false crisis & emergency and shuts down the Government for over a month yet gets NO MONEY for his WALL !
...
This is a huge loss for Trump. He tried to hold the nation hostage and lost.
Wonder if it will be big loss for Republicans. Will people remember that they backed this BS?
The word of the day is CAVE. Trump caved. There is no other way to put it. He got absolutely nothing. Idiot.
This largely depends on whether Trump gives the STU on on the 29th. If he gives that speech at most it's a draw. I'm taking a wild guess he agreed to three week reprieve with the understanding the speech would be held. Assuming that is the case this would also indicate Pelosi has resigned herself to offering some funding for the wall because this is not something she would give up for a three week reprieve.
I don't see this as a "win" for anyone...it's a 3 week reprieve...we'll be right back here next month.
Pretty much. There’s no win until a deal is reached. This is just a temporary time out so approval ratings don’t plunge further and the consequences don’t keep getting worse in the news.
Very true. The Democrats are so determined to keep Trump from getting a "win" that they have retracted their previous support for a wall, and to the detriment of American citizens.
Just goes to show that he cares more about those out of work than spoiled Pelosi does....politically it's a win for Trump, although I'd rather see all those bearocratsfired and just pay the security services except the bloated unnecessary TSA.
Au contraire, it's a great day for America! The POTUS should not be able to hold the government hostage for policy concessions.
