After House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., earlier Friday on the floor criticized House Majority Leader Steny B. Hoyer of Maryland and House leaders for sending members home rather than keeping them in Washington as the shutdown dragged on, Trump called on both chambers to "come back and vote."

Can you say,"Recess Appointments ho!"

Keep it shut down for all I care. It’s just saving “some” money. It’s about the only way for any spending cuts.

...... The President knows the media like the back of his hand so I doubt he would issue an Executive Order on a Friday anyways ..... He would wait until Monday or Wednesday for maximum media effect.

Not IMO. I think they’re doing a deal that won’t be announced together, as it would upset Trump’s base too much. So first comes the announcement that for something or other, such as the free healthcare for children he announced this past week, Trump gets some more funds for fence repair.

Then, comes the subsequent “negotiations” that will include DACA amnesty, citizenship for H1-B (Trump already tweeted that out today), etc.

He knows the hack Judge(s) already has the injunction written. He knows it will drag on and on until it reaches the SC. He does not know if he will win at the SC especially with Roberts racing to the left. I give the odds 50/50 at best that there will be any wall/steal barrier.

I don’t believe it any more than I believe RBG is healthy.

Let him build the case for shaving 20% reduction in government Workforce. Over time it will show that they are not necessary and things probably work better without them.

Indeed. Lot of complaining from Dems about 800,000 "workers" not getting money. That includes fed workers at parks. A bunch of non-essential stuff built and maintained that could be done without. For instance, here in the SF Bay Area we have the GGNRA (Golden Gate National Recreation Area).

Lots of expensive signage and displays put up with tour guides to "educate" visitors about sea gulls and birds, etc. It's a beach and grassland with some sand dunes. It was working fine before being declared a national park, people knew how to use beaches and parks without government "guidance". Now hundreds of millions of dollars thrown at it, for the sake of "recreation". The government shouldn't be in the business of running amusement parks! Let the shutdown continue, and get rid of the waste.

There is a new caravan forming, perhaps he wants to wait for it before announcing a national emergency
