I'm waiting to see if Pelosi can actually get Dems to work on border security. And the even bigger problem of our broken immigration process.

If not, she's no more effective than anyone else in DC. Ever.

Both sides need to compromise. We'll see if the leadership on both sides can actually do anything useful.

Hate to break it to you, but your not like us. When we lose our jobs through no fault of our own either, we don't get the mainstream media pleading for us to get paid, don't have politicians begging for us and don't get the pity of the left. Instead we're told it's for our own good since it's the lefts ideas that have put us there.

This country needs to get McConnell's butt off off of his thumbs and trump off of right wing media where trump gets his orders.

He did put extra constraints on a very few countries that sponsor terrorism that happened to be mostly Muslim...out of many more muslim countries not on the ban list.. but that fact is inconvenient to your fake news.
Yeah. Except for Saudi where the actual terrorists came from. That's how we know the 'Muslim Ban' that Trump called for in his own words - is nothing but a big bunch of BS.

No, this country needs to give its turncoats the boot.

FWIW, we did just fine before the TSA...the 9/11 incident happened because Cheny had several parallel operations going on at the same time that brought down and confused ALL of our hijack failsafes simultaneously....completely unprecedented.

It's like asking a thief where he hid the gold that he stole. He will not tell us since the gold will make him rich after selling it. I think there should be an independent body who shows up randomly at businesses where these tax evadors work (hotels/country clubs, construction sites, farms, landscaping companies, meat processing plants, etc) and do a random check on ALL the workers. Right now, nobody checks.

Last Spring, I was on my lunch break and decided to get a sub so I headed to a Subway Restaurant. There, a guy by the name of Michael, made my sandwich but he could barely speak English so I had to use a translator. Several months later, I was attending a classmate's wedding @ a Country Club here in town. The SAME guy who made my sandwich @ the Subway was assigned to our section, except this time, his name says "Edward"! So I asked him "isn't your name Michael"? He recognized me immediately and headed to the back of the banquet hall and never saw him again that night. They had to assign a new server for our section.

They go to different businesses under different names but are highly desired by them since they work hard without asking for raises. If wages in those industries do not rise, wages in other industries won't rise either since everything starts @ the bottom. But I agree, since these workers blend very well, it's hard for the general public to know who is legal and who is not..

IMO, Pelosi and Schumer were being the stubborn a**es in all of this and that's why they wouldn't "blink". Is that somehow a good thing? You guys criticized Trump for not ending the shutdown and now that he has you demonize him for that to. Make up your minds! The end.
More trouble parsing sentences.

I’m not “demonizing him” for blinking.

I’m laughing at his inability to move his agenda forward.

Reminds me of that time another older lady got the better of him.

Default Did Trum lose or did he win?

I am confused. So did he win? Or did Pelosi wipe the floor with him? What just happened?
