man I was laughing so badly while watching that speech. Good stuff

he was talking about how a wall helps because "these people don't come through your local ports. They tape the mouthes of the women. Many of them can't breathe. And then put them in the back of a car. You can't come through a port like that, with women who have their mouths tape'd. Of course they don't do that"

not word for word what he said but that was one of the stories he was telling.

My guess is he won't shut down the govt again over this. This hurt him too much in the publics eyes. If he has nothing in 3 weeks he will go straight to an emergency declaration.


he already said he will declare the nat emergency

CNN has an article on this as well. Trump gave in, finally. The government will be temporarily reopened, no border wall money will be conceded, and federal workers will eventually start receiving back-pay. For now. #ArtOfTheDeal.

I think it depends from contract to contract, but many are totally screwed without additional legislation.

Didn't you hear? Those people are happy to shut down the gov for the wall so they are happy to not have any back pay even though there is no wall....

The Venezuela situation might be a saving grace for Trump to distract from this huge political defeat. It is a rare opportunity to be the good guy and maybe even unite the country if he plays his cards well.

Any hope that Trump has the wherewithal (and staff) to navigate the complicated foreign policy issues implicated by what’s going on in Venezuela seems entirely misplaced.

Given the amazing work Trump has done with North and South Korea(where we are trying to charge South Korea for having troops there), I anticipate the most likely outcome is they countries erupts into full civil war.

I remember when people were skeptical of Pelosi, and thought it would be better if she stepped down for new blood. Turns out she can still run circles around everyone and out-fox the best dealmaker ever and turtleman. Also, Coulter is pissed and tweeted "Good news for George Herbert Walker Bush: As of today, he is no longer the biggest wimp ever to serve as President of the United States." So I guess she won't whisper into Trump's ear anymore?

Nothing says smooth political operator like lambasting your basically hand chosen president by comparing him with a recently deceased and widely respected former president. Classy move.
