He won’t nuke option it.

Nope.  He doesn't even want it.

   How many Christmases have we gone through this $hit?  6 or 7?  They're all useless.
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

I'm on about 25-26 by my count.  Since Billy-Job.

Funny. I didn't read President Trumps quote in any of that. Can't find where anyone was shamed either. Just some soothsaying and low grade bullshit.

I guess you missed the post above about Sarah Sanders' statement.  Trump told her he'd sign the CR because he had other ways to fund the wall.

Now he's flip-flopped because of Rush and Ann Coulter.

Steadfast principles would demand a veto and a continued veto no matter what.  The spending in question here has already been deemed "non-essential".  Point to the $1 trillion deficit, and declare that we simply can't afford non-essential spending at this time.

It pays for itself.  Do you know how much illegal immigrants cost this country?

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

And whatever they do—no money paid for work not done. This is a shutdown, not a paid vacation!

Word.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

-Ayn Rand-

Tump just wings it day to day... No plan or strategy based on any underlying principles. It just comes down to how hard the wind is blowing that day.

But isn't that exactly what a populist does?

It is why you shouldn't go to bat for a populist. You'll find yourself suddenly abandon as the winds shift direction.

One of the affected areas will be DHS. Irony abounds the Border Patrol will have to keep working for free. Another section under DHS is the Secret Service. No pay for protective detail, while they're following him around Mar-a-Lago for the next 2 weeks.

Don't point a finger at the President because so many folks here prefer to argue over rumors for days rather than wait and know what's actually happening.  Some just never learn.    :shrug:

(Highlighted for emphasis) It’s been a wonder to behold how Trump has upset their apple cart. The moment he announced his candidacy left them gobsmacked and discombobulated. They haven’t been able to see straight since.

We both predicted this would happen, @aligncare

This is the closest the NTs have come to thinking their behavior these past 3 years is warranted.  They are giddy.

Forget what history would have given us under a Hillary presidency and supreme court.

That said, doing two 180's on the shutdown, together with tweeting about withdrawing from Syria before discussing it with his generals are huge mistakes.  It's been a very bad week for the POTUS.

Yeah, and I guess that statement from the White House a day or so ago about not wanting a shutdown and being willing to sign without The Wall was just a fake news release from the White House?

You are so pathetic.
