is this the first time, or one of a very few times, a "national emergency" has been used as a threat? a shame we have to pass bills that allow federal employees guaranteed back pay because we're afraid Trump is going to use this threat again.
One of my major problems with the establishment types is they just waved off things like voting in favor of the Iraq War. "I authorized one of the worst foreign policy mistakes in this country's history, oh well what can ya do just move on."
Oh rly Lindsey then why is it the House Democrats and not Senate Republicans passing legislation to open government department by department?
The best evidence we have about your theory is the 2018 Florida Senate and Governor elections, and it doesn’t support your hypothesis.
I think he realizes that the national emergency angle is their only card to play here so the sooner they do it and end the shutdown the better.
Yeah Florida was much more covert about it than Georgia Maggies gonna end up being talked about in college courses for all the wrong reasons
Probably. You'd think if that was the case they'd just go ahead and open the government since they've obviously moved past congress being relevant to a solution
I'd assume it's happening later today since it's still not a popular solution, just their best option. If it doesn't happen today all bets are off.
Funding a wall is not a problem for the democratic side. So sure, they do hate Trump more than "problems"
On that shit grifting gofundme for $1 billion for the wall Hopefully he will ever know only sadness in his life
The people in charge, including mulvaney, hate the federal government. This is great for them. It’s a dream.
I brought this up elsewhere... but I can't believe there's not more collective outrage from every political stripe over the president declaring an emergency and using the US military to seize private property. But I guess nothing matters so long as Trump can get his monument to white supremacy on the southern border.
Hahahahaha what's he going to wrt the Texans living on the border. Knock knock "excuse me sir I'd like your permission to build a wall on your property to pro-"
Holy shit. Trump just told Acosta good job with his sales pitch yesterday. When Acosta replied, I believe Trump said some people are dumb.
This fucker is quickly moving up the hydraulic press list, fuck him so god damned much. "BUT HE WENT ON SNL BC PPL WERE MEAN REEEEEE"
Apparently farmers are freaking out because they aren't getting that money Trump promised them to make up for the tariff shortfall and a lot of them are worried they won't be able to get crops in the ground in time for the up coming season.
