Let them

They threaten to impeach for passing gas

Their threats are worse then their bite. Let them sing impeachment all day, I don’t care.

Heck, Trump should fire Mueller and 90% of the FBI and DOJ brass, send them all home. Some with indictments. Let the democrats try to impeach him.

How’s that Special Council investigation into Mexican Nationals meddling in our election by voting in California coming along?

Screw the fake coup. He’s the boss. Time to act like it.

The 67 votes in the Senate are there. Trump is an outsider. The senate holds no love for him and will throw his ass into the street.

When Democrats tell you they don’t want to spend 5 billion dollars on something because it’s too wasteful, you know they’re lying.

>>Trump cannot divert military funds for this type of project without congressional approval.<<

Not so sure that is accurate. The executive branch has the power to declare national emergencies and use funds to accomplish the goal. I could be off base here, but think about pandemics, enemy attacks, natural disasters.

Wondering why this is much different. Drugs/human trafficking/terrorism/disease could be declared national emergency.

"just like we should have done in 2018. I have been through these wait till next election a dozen times."

I think there’s a bunch of low-information conservative voters who don’t understand the significance of midterm elections.

It won’t take decades to build a wall. A wall is nothing but a highway turned on it’s side.

I've always said the whole problem could be solved with three actions.

1. If you are here illegally and we catch you, you go to jail.

2. If you are here illegally and have a job and we catch you, you and your employer go to jail.

3. If you are here illegally and rent or own a house/apt and we catch you, you and your lender/landlord go to jail.

Follow these and I'd bet there would be an uptick in self-deportations.

We don’t need to wait till the next election

I think President Trump can get a lot done now.

He needs a better legal team, one that will tell these Traffic Court Judges to go pound sand

Ones that will say, Mr. Traffic Court Judge, the President does have the authority to limit immigration, read the constitution you stupid commie

And go from there

Sowing. Ines today can be done from the air. All Trump has to do is tell the pentagon to saddle up. But a 700+ minefield, 50 yards deep would take approximately 60,000,0000 mines.

Tonight, all over FR, a toxic brew of antiTrump nonsense.

Dang right we need the military down there and we need a wall and we need men with guns, powerful guns, guarding those walls. We now have the Mexican cartels (wholly owned and subsidized by the Mexican government—or maybe the other way around—same difference) using aircraft to smuggle in aliens and drugs and possibly terrorists. This is war and will require a military response.

‘Disturbing’ new tactics: Mexican cartels use ultralight aircraft to smuggle illegals into U.S.

Yep, been saying that for over a year. In my opinion, the best that Trump can do now is expose the corruption. But even that will be tough because I don't think even if he ordered documents declassified, the doj/fbi would do it. And for all the talk of a hot civil war, that will not happen. They would put that down in a heartbeat. I think the best we can do is make them unconformable the way have been doing to us.

He has the authority but her defers to every federal judge in the country. If we were fighting world war II and about to invade France, a federal judge would stop us and president Trump would say, ok let’s wait for an appeal for the next year.

If he orders something to be done within the executive department and it isn’t done, why isn’t anyone locked up?

Exposing them is the best he can do

He did order to declassify and they delayed it and then President Trump backed down and stated after the election.

We’ll see
