Hold out for at least 2.5 and show what compromise is. What a worthless army he has.
Q: What’s to prevent Congress, after Trump inks a deal, from passing legislation that takes away access to the money he could use, and then overriding his veto.. ?
The cave caps and then cuts Ice beds every year !
That was reported last night .
Why post this misinformation ?
he can skip signing the bad deal and just go straight to building it on his own.
Sign it with the cap on the number of beds? No, he shouldn’t sign it with this poison pill in it. It is catch and release 2.0.
Why sign this bad deal?
Beto had a 'couple of thousand'... small crowd, but the press did their best to make Beto's crowd look as large.
Trump needs to follow his gut on any 'deal'... democrats are known for cheating... taking the parts they like and NOT funding the parts they don't like. No one should trust democrats - they're crooks and liars to the bone.
Shelby leans left and talks out of the right side of his mouth. What’s not to like?
Trump should veto this piece of crap from out traitorous “representatives”, and then build the wall on his own.
Declare victory, take what you’re given, then fight again next year. You don’t score a touchdown on every play, but when you get a first down, that’s a win. He’s gotten a lot of money for border security. It takes time to implement the spending anyway, and in 8 months it’s time for another spending bill, probably a long CR, so that spending is really two years’ worth.
Walk away from a bad deal like a horse salesman trying to sell a one eyed lame deaf horse to you saying its a winning racehorse.
No deal. Tell Nance & the Never-Trumper Rinos to shove it.
Corp of Engineers will get the wall built.
No he should let it close and declare the emergency.
The closure would be a contributor to the “emergency” nature of the situation.
How about this approach?
No deal - shutdown.
Use the statutory authority already in place to reallocate DoD funds for wall construction.
Build the wall.
Wait 30 days and RIF the furloughed government employees.
WIN! WIN!
My 2 cents,
Can 5 billion be spent by September 30 anyway?
Federalize the National Guard in all border states (thereby rebuking those DNC Governors) while at the same outlawing Sanctuary Cities. Accomplish utilizing an EO citing presidential authority as Chief LEO and CC. Utilize discretionary spending funds to build the wall and cover shortfalls for the Department Homeland Security Immigration, Customs and Enforcement activities.
By declaring a National Emergency and writing separate EOs for each aspect this plan it becomes compartimalized for legal challenges.
The part the DNC’ers cannot overturn is the federalization of the State National Guard in AZ, CA, NM, CO, TX, LA NY, WA, NV, and anywhere else that there are Sanctuary Cities. Nor the arrest of those breaking Federal Laws.
Send in the National Guard as was done to Gov McGovern in AL and declare Martial Law in those sanctuary cities using the troops - arrest those elected officials and LEO who refuse to comply with the Presidential Decree. If members of political parties are vocal or try or organize demonstrations lock’em up under Federal Statute and Legal Authority that goes with Martial Law in Sanctuary Cities as rebels or on anti-America activities - such as membership in the communist party.
The FBI can detain the political and LEO offenders and other people in positions of power who are not executing their legal obligations under Federal Law it forces them to lawyer up to defend themselves against become felony offenders.
Build the wall using US Army Corps of Engineers transferred from various State functions like waterway projects by issuance of Government Contracts to companies to backfill for the CE.
FEMA emergency funds can be used to hold detainees, illegal immigrants and build housing for ICE per the 25% increase sought by the president.
This is no different from the Southern States during the Civil War - Trump is immediately sitting behind the same desk as was Lincoln.
The future belongs to those who can insulate themselves with legal authority and legally derived power to execute the laws of this great Nation.
I think that is likely what Trump is planning to do. He had to get something out of the Dems to save face. Now he can use unallocated funds plus the $1.7 billion from the current deal.
Its not a “deal”. Its an insult. Don’t sign it.
I agree. I don’t want a legislative victory. We had that victory years ago, but still no Wall.
I’m tired of this shallow debate; everyone has already shown their cards. Declare the national emergency or just divert funds. Build the Wall. Press for a rapid review when America’s globalist enemies file a case in front of their hand-picked Obama judge. And then make all the necessary funding available to build 1,900 miles of Border Wall this year. Don’t just go for symbolic progress - get the job done now.
President Trump doesn’t need this issue to get reelected. Instead, he can point to the accomplishment, and push for a second big task for his second term. [I want that to be deporting every single illegal in our country, but it’s better politically if he articulates a different priority during the campaign and then deports all those criminals while also accomplishing his new goal.] How about ending HIV/AIDS completely as a second-term goal?
Throw in three more Supreme Court picks, 100-plus lower court judges, and a shift toward smaller federal government and more restrained spending, and the Trump Presidency will be a big win for America.
Intransigence is the watchword. Prove how unessential Federal bureaucracy actually is. Shut it down again!
