It was an unconditional surrender.

Anyone who denies that reality is delusional, prone to fantastic thinking.

Uh oh, we actually agree on something...

Actually, if enough stoppages happen, it might cause some government employees to leave for the real world.

I love the idea of jerking everyone’s chains—including the Special Council.

Next stoppage may be multiple months instead of one.

I don’t follow news as closely anymore because frankly not much is believable.

I probably WOULD HAVE gotten upset over the cohen “news” except that I only heard about it AFTER Mueller denied it.

Lucky me :)

It’s easy to talk tough.

But the first REAL tragedy even REMOTELY REMOTELY connected to the shutdown would have been strewn over the front pages till we were old men.

It’s already being reported that many have died indirectly.

Trump is not dealing with a sane media, or country.

Or real conservatives in his own party.

“I ran around like a faggot without a head too many times in the past thinking Trump ####ed up only to look like a d..k at the end when he succeeded.”

You sir, are a wordsmith.

the White House drafted a plan that would allow Trump to declare a national emergency and use $7 billion in federal funds to secure America’s southern border by building a wall. Breitbart News Legal Editor Ken Klukowski reported on Thursday that President Trump, through the National Emergencies Act of 1976, has the legal authority to use federal funds during a national emergency to build a wall along the southern border.

Meadows said:

Throughout this process, President Trump has made numerous offers and repeatedly expressed willingness to engage with Democrats about a compromise—but failure to fund needed physical barriers along our southern border is still not an option. The President is sticking by his commitment to keep our communities safe and has assured me that nothing will deter him from accomplishing that goal. His resolve remains steadfast. Democrats now have yet another opportunity to come to the table and negotiate, where all Americans will be able to judge for themselves whether they’re truly serious about securing our border.

“If negotiations don’t result in a solution, executive action is still very much under consideration,” Meadows added.

“Good grief, everyone take a xanax.”

Don’t you find comfort that these people have your back in case of civil war (which they endlessly predict)?

Morons!

The sky is NOT falling. The reprieve is for 3 weeks. During that time the fascists have to honestly come to the table and negotiate a deal that includes funding for the wall. If they do not come in good faith and there is no mutual agreement that Trump will sign then the shutdown can go back into place and he said he would use the emergency powers. The dems have been saying they will deal when the government reopens. They now have three weeks to make good or it all falls back on them.

No cave that I heard.

I don’t blame trump, we elected a general to head into battle on our behalf, but the entire army that was supposed to back him up has been AWOL. ( RINOS )

I had to catch myself I was laughing so much. Have you followed the court for the last 20 years. You’re sure Roberts will take it as an urgent case when it has been problem for years. Would you bet your car keys on it.

I haven’t laughed so hard in years. Thanx.

It’s best to get it approved by Congress.

That can still happen.

Get over yourself.

He is giving the Congress two weeks to hang themselves and then he will do just as you suggest. The Congress will demonstrate their incompetence and powerless.

Yeah ROFL

I won’t know who to turn my back on!

A lot of tough guys on this board, just like Ann.

But the southern monuments still fell again and again and again and again without a whimper.

I’m a filthy NYer and I cried.

Deblasio wanted to remove the Columbus statue.

We on Staten Island told our congressman without pulling punches make sure a lot of ####ing cops are there if it’s taken down.

Staten Island politicians also said WE would take the statue before letting it be torn down in Manhattan.

Actions. Not words.

I’ll suggest a different outcome in three weeks. The legislation that will emerge will be complex, with a solution for DACA, lots more work visas and several billion for a smart wall (Trump) 21st century border protection (Dems) which will include sensors, drones, scanning technology, and maybe some for repair of existing barriers. No money for a big, beautiful wall. Trump will sign it and everyone will declare a success.

The facts are facts.
Trump caved today. He may win in 3 weeks.
However, that does not change the fact that Trump caved today
for whatever reasons.

Jeez, I cannot believe how people fall for this kabuki theater.

It’s a reprieve of three weeks. Fed workers get paid, then it all starts over.

As I recall this has been what Lindsey Graham has been pushing for all along: temporarily reopen for further negotiations. If after the alloted time there is no deal then declare a national emergency and have the military start building the wall.

All this pearl-clutching is pretty pathetic.

Smh. It’s open for 3 weeks and the dems took the deal offered on Dec8th.

This wasn’t a loss it was a win.
