Townhall ^ | Jan 11, 2019 4:40 PM | Katie Pavlich

Members of the U.S. House and Senate have left Washington D.C. for the weekend without solving the border security crisis or a way to reopen the government.

So there you have it.

In the meantime, President Trump hosted another border security roundtable at the White House Friday afternoon and called on Democrats to come back to the negotiating table.

Schumer and Pelosi are sure screwing up the works. The solution is simple. Fund the damn wall. You fund everything else.

According to Nancy, the Democrats will be more effective in fighting Trump from their luxury hotel rooms in Hawaii they they would be from their offices on Capital Hill.

The president cancels trips and holidays to stay in Washington to get business done.

Congress leaves town.

No wonder they are the least trusted entity in our government.

Trump maybe getting the message. The communists Democrats will not support the wall. They need the criminal illegals to get here to vote. Yes, they will wrote and there is nothing the Republicans can do to stop them.

Stop tweeting, President Trump. They left for the weekend, with pay. Just like they left for their holiday. The tweet this morning should’ve been not whining about them, but declaring the National Emergency.

The repubs were given the majority and, yet, accomplished essentially nothing other than to NOT support President Trump. What losers. These quislings could have not left soon enough. Good riddance.

The time to declare a national emergency is in a week or two when the next caravan swarms the border.

Democratic “make every vote count” rhetoric aside, I suspect that Pelosi’s vote against funding the people’s wall is the only vote in the House that counts.

Demonicrats, by their very nature, support the murder of prenatal babies and giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

They just do not want to give president Trump a victory.

Everything they do is geared toward the next presidential election.

They trash republican presidents without end and do their best to screw things up to create false campaign issues for the next election.

When the choice is between one bunch of scumbags you don’t trust or another bunch of scumbags you don’t trust, it almost doesn’t make too much difference who win Congressional elections anymore. They’re (almost) all useless, corrupt dirtbags - and the few who aren’t are absolutely powerless to change anything.

My suspicion that Paul Ryan and his Illuminate buddies deliberately threw the House majority gets stronger every day. The budget not being done, wall and infrastructure included, is a poison pill to bring down the administration. President Trump, declare the National Emergency NOW. They’re out of DC for the weekend. They can’t do anything about it before they’re back in session!

In a week or two the coup leaders will have judges in place to stop him. It pretty much has to be this weekend, or President Trump won’t be in any control of anything.

It makes more sense to make the Democrats own the shutdown and ultimately force them to cave. That will set a precedent for the next two years of the Democratic House.

Declaring a national emergency is a cheap solution and will set a bad precedent.

We can be patient. The longer the shutdown, and the more money Democrats approve for foreign aid and other things without funding border security and the wall, the worse the Democrats will fare in the next election. Ultimately they will have to cave, because they need government more than Americans do.
