This is going to last a while.... Trump picked the battle, Trump defined the battlefield, and Trump choose a battle that if he loses it will cost him the 2020 election.
Trump has intentionally placed his back to the wall and left himself no exit but a complete victory... This will be interesting...https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f5c6aef425.jpg

I like how reading rg's post has the added benefit of having a word of the day calendar.
Government shutdown day 18.
Electricity still works, water is still running. No cool gangs to join yet.
Worst apocalypse ever!!!

Ah yes, the movie "Them". I think our reality now is even weirder than that movie was.
President Trump is asking for $5.7 Billion out of an annual budget of $4.407 Trillion...In other words, President Trump is asking for $57 dollars out of an annual budget of $44,070....Think about that. Imagine your other half saying "we're not going back to work, the kids aren't getting their allowances, and no bills are getting paid until you give up the idea of spending $57 dollars to fence in our yard"...This is what Pelosi and Schumer have halted our government for.

I think before this weekend is over, he'll declare the emergency and just get it over with. I've read that the cash is available from the military budget...construction projects or in this case, defensive fortifications. Everybody will be back to work by Monday. Ya! clean toilets again!
Lots of dirty poopers at Lake Mead last week.
Trump deserves credit for actually trying to work with these people. What I find hard to understand in all this is that there are people who have convinced themselves that he wants a physical structure from San Diego to Brownsville. I reckon these are the same folks that believe in ghosts even though they've never seen one.
I'm ready to fly to Hawaii for a month (Big Island) but I have to wait for the shutdown to end because access is denied to a backpacking beach that I'd spend about a third of my time...Halape in the national park. The moment this shutdown ends, I'll book the flight.
Yeah Trump will do it, he just wanted to prove to the world that the Dems are absolutely unwilling to work with him on anything. He knew it all along.
People don't give Trump the credit he deserves, but he's got all of this stuff planned 3 steps ahead of everybody. That's why he wins every time.
The nice thing about declaring an emergency is it sets great precedent down the road for future presidents. How many people die each year without insurance? Declare an emergency and institute single payer without congress. Too many shootings? Declare an emergency and restrict guns. Can't get congress on board with global warming? Who cares? declare an emergency and go that route. You can always find money somewhere for an emergency.
And before you think this is 3d chess that trump is winning, the polls disagree:

I gotta admit, I agree with you on this one regarding the idea of just declaring an emergency and doing it. There's a reason we have 3 branches of government and it's a slippery slope when we start ignoring that and just going all nuts with this stuff. Even though I want the border secured and I think it's very important, I'm not a fan of Trump (or anyone else) just ramming it through without going through the proper channels.
We don't have heart emojis? What about wet kisses?
I think you get my point...Trump does anything and it's bad. The guy seems quite reasonable to me.
