Why do you really oppose a wall?

Pelosi is shittin a brick because if this holds up she will look like a total fool. Gonna be damn interesting for sure

While everybody else is laughing at him... <insert generic Trumpist opinion.>

Its showboating to say "I'm fighting!" for you...

Luckily this hits the injunction junction by Monday or Tuesday afternoon and we can finally stop talking about the Wall for awhile.

Next on the Docket is the new era of prosperity we intend to award North Korea with because... reasons...

Didn't you say you thought he wouldn't go the emergency route?

I've said repeatedly its the only real retreat option he had to save face... mostly because of his incompetence early on in negotiating this.

What I find particularly hilarious about it though is instead of just doing this he teases it for ever... its already been war-gamed to the point now where everyone knows it will fail... but he does it anyway.

All of the stuff he's put the country through since December 11th he could have just simply avoided by doing this then and caused himself and the GOP significantly less damage.

The result would be the same.

Old Post: Its been drawn out significantly longer because he's even worse at negotiating than I though possible but...

This won't work and will die a fiery death in the courts...

It will, however, allow the President to cave in and reopen government while appearing to not compromise in the short run.

The Price is Right? Since Dian Parkinson left the show, no need to watch.

CBS prioritized a game show over a presidential address to a national emergency... Sounds par for their course.

Who wouldn't prefer watching a good game show over a bad reality show?

Apparently a lot of people opted for "The Apprentice" and its spin-offs. I don't know if there were any good game shows up against it.

he said the shutdown was gonna end this week and it ended like four weeks later. He said Pelosi was going to give him nada for the wall, he got her to open her purse for 1.7B. He said no emergency declaration was going to happen. See a pattern here?

How is it that I hadn't noticed Ann Coulter's sense of humor until now?
