I know. I saw where this was going before the election.

I asked myself, how much can one man do against a 4 trillion dollar corrupt stasi state, corrupt courts, both parties and the fakestream media? They’ve effectively nullified his presidency. Nullified our votes. A BIG MIDDLE FINGER to everyone that voted for Trump. A BIG HEARTY FU to all REAL AMERICANS.

And the treachery of the GOP and guys like that RAT BASTARD, Jeff Sessions, are beyond the pale.

I don’t know what can be done, TBH.

Colorado. They have “medical” marijuana there for recreational use. Everybody is high the majority of the time. Heck, even their toilet paper has marijuana in it. Marijuana is the new “pumpkin spice” in Colorado.

"This is why Trump should build the wall with emergency powers before they can peel off enough votes to defeat it."

I wish he would declare an emergency too, but the longer he holds off, the other side will argue that his delay means there isn't much of an emergency afterall. In other words, if there was such an emergency, he'd have done it already.

The Dems want to keep any wall funding from any budget discussions for as long as they can. The longer they hold off, the closer 2020 comes, and they can't be seen as giving this President anything that is a win for him. They believe if he doesn't deliver, he's toast in 2020. If they actually believe that, they're wrong, because I'd still vote for him.

This is why I like facebook. When I went to put my comment on his page, tons of similar responses. It’s a great way to get our point across. I know some people aren’t fond of facebook but it’s a good way to show the ‘ruling elite’ what we the people think.

Gardner is allowing his toxic femininity to break out.

Yes, and its about time we realize that the President we elected cannot complete his duties under the Feds subversion of the Constitution.

So what can WE do about it?

This in the ONLY question.

We can vote and protest. That’s about it.

Without a large percentage of the military supporting the public on this issue, violent revolt will end in tragedy.

The silver-lining? We should be able to tell within the next two years whether the U.S. is really salvageable or not. If it’s clear that not even Trump can get illegal immigration turned around via a wall AND other reforms, then it’s time to admit that the country values business special-interest above national rule-of-law. And sadly it means that it does not deserve our loyalty any more.

Ok fine then why didn’t he push like hell to get the wall when we still had the house? He should have done this last spring when Ryan’s Rino’s had the Primaries coming up. Maybe Ann C is right about this.

Can Romney be far behind - in the end it won’t be terrorists or communists who destroy this country - it will be the feckless Republican Party....

We don’t need 2 years to decide if this Federal Government has betrayed us, and has ALREADY committed numerous crimes against us, and this President, with impunity.

The question is.....are we going to let them get away with it, or ignore and just live our lives?

I don’t know if Trump could have pushed harder or not, but personally, I doubt a Ryan-led House would have been willing to go along. Ryan was a RINO and an amnesty man. He didn’t do right by President Trump, and the Dems will just follow in his footsteps.

Blue State reps, desperate for re-election. They can not be overt Republicans and win.

What’s the Alternative?

Sickening fact of the matter, but true.


Yet Doug Jones faithfully toes the party line. Why do you think that is?

Virtue signallling on the Senatorial level...


Teed up by the useless Mitch McConnell. Vintage Beltway theater from The Turtle.

He can always take that deal without the border wall funding. Allow the caravan to come in and create chaos which in turn will create a crisis and he should unequivocally state any that any deaths (migrants or Americans), any bloodshed, drug overdoses and gang violence are at the hands of those voting nay.

Start calling them! If they get enough calls they will change their minds.

Quite the optimist, are you ?

Now if you had said 'if enough of them hang the rest will change their minds' you'd have had my complete agreement.

Rats are have more political discipline then the GOP’ers.

Rats will stick to the “message” & most importantly stick with each other.

One of the first things GOP’ers do when they get to Washington is reach into the ‘political advisor industry” that is through the DC & NoVA area. So the new GOP’er will get a political advisor that will see things the DC/Beltway way but through a thin GOP lens. (The thin GOP lens makes it “ok”, its a GOP advisor!)

End result of all this is back to where we were at the end of last year. Government will be funded and reopened and they won’t be, nor ever be funds for a wall. GOP never wanted a wall and Trump doesn’t have the power to get them to change.

Democrats have a core set of values and fight for them. Other than personal enrichment I see nothing the GOPe is willing to fight for. Other than open borders, of course.
