Its all about stopping Trump: Illegal aliens are a sideshow.

Mitch needs to go nuclear.

At the very least, he should force Scummer to do a real filibuster ... actually get up and read from the phone book.

Then Trump can go on former presidents actions and ignore the courts. and cut funding for those courts.

Maybe keep the DoD up and running

DOD is already fully funded. What ... did CNN fail to tell you that? NBC, ABC, CBS didn't mention it either?

Shocking ...

Wouldn’t make a difference at this point. The funding bill the HOR sent over to the U S Senate doesn’t provide for the wall.

“Your phones will all be ringing off the hook tomorrow when federal employees begin to miss that federal paycheck,” Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md. said.

Republican voters, are not exactly fond of overpaid deep state federal workers who have spent the last two years trying to overthrow the duly elected president of the United States.
Not to mention, we are going to have our own “build the wall” counter phone calls.

DOD is already fully funded.

Yes, I knew that. I meant that a complete and permanent shutdown of nearly all of the federal government, with Constitutional exceptions like the DoD, would be terrific. I don't get news from CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, or any other media outlet.

Those are Democrat voters. Republicans want to fund people who’ll never vote for them, why exactly?

Whether or not they get their paychecks is the Democrats’ problem.

Watch Senate Dems boycott the Barr confirmation hearings.

I pray to God they do. :)

Pelosi and Schumer should get a federal judge to order Trump to reopen the government.

I’m sure the Democrats will do that as soon as they retake the Senate. McConnell is the head turd in the cesspool that needs to be drained who secretly opposes Pres. Trump just like Ryan did.

All Democrats need to do is have judges run the country. Problem solved.

“Dems in Texas (I think) pulled that stunt a few years back. They simply disappeared.”

Not sure it was Texas.
When Governor Walker first took office in Wisconsin the dem senators lit a shuck to Illinois and hid out there for weeks until they were shamed into going back.

If they decide to flee Washington, now is the time.

President Trump looks weak. He should declare that emergency and start work on the wall. It's also a win. Then Chuck and Nancy will look weak. They won't have stopped the wall, and they'd still be keeping the gov closed.

It's not even two dimensional chess. President Trump should've declared that emergency when Nancy said she'd never negotiate for even some of the wall.

Pelosi, Schumer and the Democrats say they don't give a sh*t if your wife, husband or kids are killed by an illegal alien, and that is certainly no reason to secure and protect our borders.

You haven’t lived until you have been road raged followed around by a guy that looks just like that guy. They own the roads in San Diego now. After my wife got t-boned by a dreamer in an intersection during a power outage and getting sued even though it was the dreamer’s fault, and having to buy my wife another car for 30 grand, and after seeing third world “neighbors” smoking pot and drinking beer then hopping into their cars and driving away (often with little kids in car), I have opted to almost completely quit driving unless absolutely necessary. I probably had less than 500 miles last year, most of which was just to get van serviced for storage. I don’t want to be sued or killed by an illegal, and feel that I have almost completely lost my privilege to drive. I’m sure the illegals will still find a way to kill me.

Democrats think they have got Trump where they want him. It was going so well for them yesterday.

All they have to do is wait until Republicans jump ship and repudiate him.
