FR tends to be frequented by political junkies who think strictly in 2-4 year election time frames. Deeper, longer term strategic analysis and planning isn't really their forte.

That's why one can point to California & New York, where approx 18% of the nation lives, as an example of what a proglib super majority looks like, but the nationwide trend line won't really resonate.

Without a facility for understanding long(er) term trends, the ability to understand why even a Trump packed SCOTUS will be moot seems to be lost on them. If you explain that a proglib super majority can (a) impeach existing justices; (b) expand the number of seats; or (c) ignore rulings* may effect a response.

So yes, the existential crisis is about an unabated and uncontrolled foreign invasion, aided and abetted by collaborators and traitors. Personally, I think it's already a done deal - Trump is simply trying to pad the final tally to make it look better in history's box score.

There's a reason why the smart money has backed the new citizens - they know the old guard are simply paper tigers. A lot of huff & puff, what cowards in the end.

* It will be truly ironic when the proglib super majority decides that Marshall was overreaching by claiming rights in Marbury not specified in the constitution. The same complaints about black robed tyrants will be echoed; but the progs will actually move to curtail contradictory rulings because the are "undemocratic".

Yep! The GOP has been on life support for quite a while now. Mr. Trumps victory breathed some life back into the party but if they abandon him on this issue they will indeed be finished as a Political Party with any sway.

It was none other than “Mission Accomplished GW” who officiated over the moving of The Coast Guard from DoD to Homeland Security in 2002.

Trump is doing the best he can do in a no win situation.

You are saying that like it matters, it doesn't. The best he can do has to include the wall or a militarized border, else he will go down in 12 and you can thank Ryan and Mitch for that.

January 28, 1915

The Coast Guard as established January 28, 1915, shall be a military service and a branch of the armed forces of the United States at all times. The Coast Guard shall be a service in the Department of Homeland Security, except when operating as a service in the Navy.

Not sure I follow your post. Seems like contradictory sentences, but you don’t provide a source to follow up for clarification. What was your point?

Can’t she ever write anything positive? She seems to be in perpetual depression mode.

I like Ann, but appearance is part of her shtick. Father Time is slowly pushing her over the threshold that divides long-haired and leggy from long-haired and bony/veiny. Not all at once, mind you, but I think she feels like she has to up her act, and in doing so is becoming more shrill.

In your opinion. You don’t know and it pisses me off that you all think your opinion somehow represents fact.

Will somebody please answer this question.

Why didn’t we get the funding for the wall (20 billion) From January 2017-January 2019 ?????

What the hell was Trump and the Republicans doing?

Taxes, and overturning Obamacare should have been secondary, and the Wall should have been FIRST.

Hey D1 long time no see, but that would be my fault as I come and go on FR these days.

Ann does tend to hyperventilate way too much. And although she knows it she needs to remind herself of the fact that the President can’t build the wall without money and that Congress controls the purse strings.

I don’t believe Mr. Trump will back down willingly but his non support visa vie the GOP won’t last much longer before sticking another knife in his back. Of course IMHO.

To me the Wall is more symbolic now as an issue that must not be compromised away than what it will actually do or not do for border security.

Time will tell.

Again good to see you in print again.

She is RIGHT. No Opening of Government till he gets wall even if he must keep Government closed for a year! This is the TEST for Donald Trump.

USCG is only a branch of military when activated as such, i.e., wartime...otherwise they are under DHS as law enforcement and other similar activities. Before DHS, CG was under DOT when not in wartime.

My opinion is just that, my opinion. Whether or not I am right we shall soon see. If I were betting I would hold to my opinion rather than yours.

‘THINK Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan, states that he won in 2016, giving the House to democrats in 2018.’

yep...46 shaky EV’s in states that are notorious for their political shenanigans...

I could as easily say it was drain the swamp or lock her up or lousy trade deals or lower taxes

Drain the swamp
Lock her up
Lower taxes
Jobs
Over regulation

Immigration was only one of Trump’s points

To say it was the only one is ridiculous
