If there is one thing we are guilty of, it is the inability to play the long-game.   This may have to be done piece-by-piece, and hope that future events will steer more people over to our side, but we're simply not going to be able to get everything we want at once.

It's just even the thought of Pelosi winning on this makes my stomach crawl.

Hey gator, there's at least some good news out there: Linehan is gone!   :rolling:

Instead of focusing on the wall, why can’t the focus be on why they are coming here in the first place? Handouts, pure and simple. Stop the handouts. Stop free medical, stop free schooling, stop their filing for IRS credits. Go after companies hiring un E-verified employees.  Dry up their ability to live off the government tit. Go after identity theft. Dry up all the money sources for illegal aliens.

Right.  Enforce the damned laws already on the books, for a refreshing change.  But oh hell no.... now we've got idiots out there wanting to abolish/eliminate ICE.  The inmates are running the asylum and about to burn it down.
No quarter given to the enemy within...ever.

Pelosi Rules Drumpf drools.
Yup we'll be seeing video of her and Schmucker laughing it up how they have all the power and Trump sucks at negotiating. He should have held firm and given a SOTU somewhere else and laid the  blame for the shutdown firmly where it belongs with Pelosi etal not even sending him a bill.

Seems like since Reagan more so than ever, democrats hold and republicans fold.

@Right_in_Virginia , if Trump is the "last man standing", we've already lost.

The President is the ONLY Republican man standing.

So you may be right.  Republicanism/Conservatism is over. 

You must be so very proud.   :patriot:

There's one way to save this.

The problem with the Texas Nationalist movements, is they are headed by a bunch of kooks who want to sell phony land grants or fake currency or just get people to their MLM meetings.

That is ancient history and untrue about the current TNM.

Should of thought of that before electing Trump. Wrecking balls wreck things. Not very good at building things.

Really...we have listened for 2 years about this Wall...speech after speech.....and him proclaiming he is a great deal maker...yeah right...he let an 80yr woman get the best of him while 800 people suffered..all for nothing.....he has the power to get this wall built without Congress...why isn't he doing it...

We don't hate him..we are disgusted/pissed for believing him..

My point awhile ago was start laying off federal employees. Make the consequences real for the Dems.

Still pining for Hillary, I see.  Sorry, we took this victory from you.  It was nothing personal.   :shrug:

Cripes.  Even your snark is boring.   :laugh:

Even if I ultimately end up hating Trump's guts there are one or two of his critics here who will continue to provoke nothing but disgust. What miserable and pathetic individuals.

Why not?  It's a good time to start believing Trump promises...

Too late for that now... now that a deal has been made.   It looks like there will be no consequences for the rats.   Seems like there never is.

That movement is one was specifically referring to. I've been close to that group since they were in a hole in a wall trailer in Overton (technically before but that's a story for another day). A slick website doesn't make something trustworthy.

Yeah. Jeb! and all the other losers were so strong on the border. It also helps that McConnell and Ryan are card carrying members of the Open Borders society too.

Could somebody tell me what Trump's strategy was...what was his end game?


Looking back on the past few weeks, I’d say it wasn’t strategy at all, but a reflex. Pressure from the right made him panic. He thought he might force a vote on $5B for the a portion of the wall, thinking it would go through and fight the next Congress for more. He gambled and lost.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

Yes. Said that many times. The result of Bush was Obama. The result of Trump is going to be worse.

Bush was the face of incompetence. Worse then that he got a hell of a lot of people killed for nothing.

The worst part is, we'll never know the result of having a conservative in office, since we haven't had one since Coolidge—and even he only got in by Harding dying.

This "temporary" reopening of the Government is the camel's nose under the tent flap for the Dems...the Government won't get shut down again...and the wall won't get built now that the Dems have made Trump blink on this.
