it is not clear to me if a CR counts as “their legislation”

[mewzilla]

Thanks! This is gonna get interesting. Oh, to be a fly on the walls of Capitol Hill...

I think this reads as though he is looking beyond the current 7 week CR and saying the Pelosi House will get nothing done without Trump-defined border security.

hypothesis: Trump signs the CR legislation in order to pick his own ground for the bigger fight.

He said “their” legislation and mentioned infrastructure, which is next year.

Democrats don’t care if nothing is signed. That is their plan.

Good news is that if it's not obvious to us, it's likely not obvious to the uniparty, either 😄

Assuming there are 1m government workers, 250,000 will be out of work. That’s what I call balancing the budget.

[mewzilla]

I think they do care. A shutdown that reveals itself to be unexceptional means they lose a way to threaten Trump.

[VanDeKoik]

Hey, how about we all actually visibly back him up, and stop acting like our job is to hang back and sit on our asses?

It seems like there are way too many of those types in American conservatism these days.

A "tweet", wow, that will send them running for their lives.

I'm soooooooo scared.

[jersey117]

Excellent. No wall.... no infrastructure. LOL

[Trump_the_Evil_Left]

The Trump tweet says nothing about shutdown now. He is not explicit but I think it reads as though he is accepting the CR and looking toward dealing with the "Democrat" House in the New Year.

"The Democrats, who know Steel Slats (Wall) are necessary for Border Security, are putting politics over Country. What they are just beginning to realize is that I will not sign any of their legislation, including infrastructure, unless it has perfect Border Security. U.S.A. WINS!"

POTUS Trump's tweet

If the wall is built and funded what happens to the 2 million in go fund me?

Trump tweets. That’s cute. Other presidents vetoed. Wake me up when Trump brings the Federal government to a standstill by vetoing appropriations bills. Then Congress will know he’s serious. And when Republicans override his veto and he names the specific individuals who did so in his tweets, and they go into hiding, then we’ll know he’s serious. Until then, it’s more kayfabe from Trump.

It's the third Tweet from the top

I am referring to next year’s democrat agenda.

[wiseprince]

I’ll wait. He hasn’t veto’d anything yet and it’s not clear to me that he’s talking about shutting down the government

[Taxman]

Shut her down, Donald! She’s sucking mud!

[JayGalt]

He is marshaling his leverage.

I think this reads as though he is looking beyond the current 7 week CR and saying the Pelosi House will get nothing done without Trump-defined border security.

I think this reads as another empty threat.

Now Ya talkin!!! Blockade all the pet projects until they cave!

They’re yanking you around, as we say. Not giving you a solution. If they wanted $5 billion for some social justice program by this afternoon, they’d get it. But you get nothing but resistance.

So Mr. Trump. FIGHT BACK. Blockade all legislation until they choke on it and give you what you want. And don’t say “okay” the first time. Send it back with a snotty note.

Don’t TWEET about it. Just say “no”. Nothing moves until I get the wall!

Make THEM fix it!
