You dismally untalented little creep!

Apparently the house passed a bill to fund homeland security without a wall budget. http://www.waff.com/2019/01/03/trump-surprise-media-conference-argues-border-wall-shutdown-continues/

I have a question: shortly after Barack Obama was elected he was given a Nobel prize for Achievements In Not Being George Bush. What the hell can we give whoever unseats Trump? Even two Nobel prizes wouldn't cut it.

Hey, I'm from Brooklyn. I'm going to call myself Mr. Friendly.

When was the last time the Republicans nominated a beer drinker anyway? Trump, Romney, and W are teetotalers and I’m pretty sure McCain was a liquor guy.

This is overblown. His plan is to ask for the returns in February or March, instead of tomorrow, after arguing for a month or two why Trump should have voluntarily turned them over. Its probably going to take most of this year to fight it out in court.

Yeah customs serves a valuable purpose even if immigration doesn't really I'll agree with that. You might even need border security to prevent smuggling. It's struct limits on immigration specifically I'm against

Small cracks are all it takes. Small cracks can be widened with time, pressure, and patience.

If GOP Congressmen are breaking from the pack it shows that they don't fear McCarthy's reprisals, too, so it could portend more Republicans voting for these things.

Jeff Flake is no longer a United States Senator, and Mitch McConnell is too much of a coward to bring any of these to a vote because he knows they might pass.

Doesn't matter, you need 60. They would need 8 GOP to side with the dem legislation from the house to send it to Trump. He won't sign anything without some border wall funding. At this point all the house can do is send bills to the Senate to die until enough GOP people crack.

The Senate wants this all to go away and but for McConnell's cowardice they would love to vote for these bills. The media would spend weeks sucking them off for being "bipartisan" and they could go back to their regularly scheduled cruelty.

We already peeled off Cory Gardner, and I think more will follow.
