Why don’t they give him what he wants?
_________________________________________

Do you really need to ask? They do not want him or his supporters (us) to have a single win. They want control over a population that is dependent on them. They need to import that population, especially since Trump has improved the economy, is withdrawing from endless war and is making alliances with other nations that have already instituted immigration control.

They do not care about America as founded.
They do not care for the Constitution and will subvert it wherever they can.
They do not care for Americans who love America as founded and want to preserve it.

They want and need control over everything and everyone.

They are wrong and are condescending in their own error. They will never apologize when proven wrong or called out on their tone. They will only triple down and they will lie while doing so.

Good observation, goldstate! The Dems would be the last to hold a conference about why the Wall is not needed. Yes, they do indeed want to change the subject.

It’s another indicator that if Trump hangs tough, the Dems have to eventually give in.

Overall, 58% of the public opposes expanding the wall along the border with Mexico” I don’t believe 58% oppose.

Of course not, fake poll guiding the Dems- no wonder they are fraying at the seams as a party.

After 30 days of the partial shutdown, Trump will supposedly have more freedom to move money around government agencies. That way he can fund TSA and coast guard, SS, parks, food stamps etc. and gut EPA, energy, education, foreign aid, UN, State, parts of FBI, DOJ, CIA. He probably could do other things such as selling government assets such as land and I would hope that he sells off the hollow point ammo!

Trump is a businessman and he knows how to cut waste & bloat. If he has the power to do it he will. He also recognizes that the government will run better without the “resisters” and lower level leftist holdovers.

If he can do this, and if people see that the government runs just as well or even better with 75% of the funding. That would be a devastating indictment of big government.

1,505 US Adults.

Not parsed for registered voters. Nor likely voters. Not even citizenship.

No wonder Hoyer is showing his olive branch.

Trump should adjourn Congress

Because he runs “all three chambers of government”? Is that you, Sandy?

Nobody, outside of government workers, even cares that the government is shut down. Honestly, learning that the US government shutdown continues affects me as much as the Australian heat wave.

Yesterday on someone’s show, I don’t remember her name, on Fox News, I looked and saw Karl Rove, but someone else had infested his body. He sounded like a newly converted Trump supporter. Going on how we can secure the border with a physical wall and supporting Trump’s shut down. Had Neocon Rove had a change of heart?

It ends in President Trump declaring a National emergency and building a BIG, BEAUTIFUL WALL.
