Y'all think Trump would take on Slavs? They're his favorite people. He'd rather go after a shit-hole country filled with blacks and browns.

Sorry if already posted, and this could also go in a number of other threads...

Where is the data to support the wall and shutdown?

Cocaine Mitch doesn’t want to get burned by Trump again.  Turtle is a cold blooded calculator and will never just do the right thing unless there’s something in it for him with a very low chance of backfiring. 

With Trump, the likelihood of political backfire is always high no matter what decision you make because Trump is unpredictable and dangerous.

Yeah, McTurtle is nutless and gutless, but he's not stupid.

Don't give Trump one fucking penny for a wall, and dare him to shut it down again. 

 

[mdmost 43059]

And the backpay for all the workers he's screwed over? Will that be in it?

[Hank Kingsley 21061]

We have to get every sitting Republican out of office. Every one of them.

I hope so.  I actually felt bad for one who was interviewed on NPR yesterday even though I know for damn sure that he voted for the dotard.  He was breaking up in the interview and saying how he couldn't afford to buy his 2 year old a bday present.  I felt bad, you know, because I have a soul.  Unlike Republicans.

Fuck you. And double fuck you if your reason is "but Hillary".

Flying back out Sunday night. Let's hope this is a blip on the radar.

No, lets hope your bitch ass is stuck in some shithole airport for days. Let's hope you have to sleep on the ground in an airport terminal, in clothes that haven't been changed for days. Let's hope you have to shit into overflowing toilets and eat food you bought out of airport vending machines. Let's hope you miss your vacation, job, family visit whatever you are flying for. Let's hope you lose your job because of it, lose the deposit you paid for the vacation. Let's hope you don't get to see your dying parent one last time before they pass.

Maybe then you'll feel some of the pain millions of others are feeling and actually start to develop a sense of empathy. 

Maybe then you'll stop minimizing the impact of this absurd shut down.

Maybe then you'll realize what pieces of shit your President and Party (and by extension, you) are.

So presser in like 8 min from President Deals. Apparently going to be backing a clean 3 week CR with threat of national emergency declaration if nothing done for the wall. Sounds like capitulation. Every reporter cautions things “in flux”

[Fozzz 152]

A general strike may be in the offing. 

Quote

On Friday morning, air traffic controllers missed their second paycheck due to the government shutdown. Many called out sick, resulting in delayed flights at some of the nation’s busiest airports, including LaGuardia, Newark, and Hartfield-Jackson in Atlanta. Now, flight attendants may also walk out. Sara Nelson, president of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, told New York on Friday afternoon that she “just finished” recording a video message to members urging them to get to the offices of their congressional representatives until the shutdown is resolved.

“We’re mobilizing immediately,” Nelson said. Asked if this meant that flight attendants will not be going to work, she responded, “Showing up to work for what? If air traffic controllers can’t do their jobs, we can’t do ours.”

Gonna be tough to prove a national emergency, seeing as it wasn't a national emergency until 12/22/2018.

Of course, it'll go through the courts, and it'll probably be allowed just like Roosevelt's Japanese-American internment orders that also weren't a national emergency.

but then he will spend the next 22 months campaigning on re-election, GOP keeping the Senate and GOP winning back the House so this country can TRULY and FINALLY address the border crisis that wasn't a crisis from January 2017 to December 2018.

Taking a play out of the GWB / Karl Rove playbook of scaring the olds with turrists and fags.  Got GWB re-elected but didn’t do a lot for Republican congress critters.

So - yeah, why would the House vote for this CR, if the end result is he will just declare a national emergency unless they 'see things his way' ?

We'll see how much of an agreement this is.

Will be a nice precedent to set for President O'Rourke/Biden/Harris/Warren/Booker to declare a national emergency for global warming, health care or wealth inequality.

So it's a National Emergency but not for 3 weeks? So it's eventually a National Emergency.

See, it's like a Trump USFL move -- we're trading 3 weeks of functioning government for an Emergency To Be Named Later.  It's all very legal, very cool.
