Lindsey Graham Urges Trump To Reopen Government Before Declaring National Emergency Over Border

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) urged President Donald Trump to reopen the federal government for a short period to see if a deal can be reached with Democrats before declaring a national emergency over border security.

Trump has refrained from going that route, which would involve bypassing Congress to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border with unidentified Pentagon funds. The president told reporters on Friday that he wasn’t planning to make a declaration “right now” but that he would if he had to.

The idea has gotten pushback in Congress, however. Some Republicans who railed against executive overreach during President Barack Obama’s administration now fear that a future Democratic president could similarly declare a national emergency and fund projects without congressional approval.

My pet projects during a future President Ocasio-Cortez administration:

Funding free college or vocational school education for all Americans due to our educational emergency /
Universal single payer health care, to address our health care emergency.
National green energy infrastructure due to our climate emergency.
50 new national parks to mitigate an ecological emergency.
More funding for FEMA Death Camps.
A manned mission to Mars.

Americans blame shutdown on Trump over Democrats by wide margin, poll finds

By a wide margin, Americans blame the longest government shutdown in U.S. history on President Donald Trump, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll published Sunday.

The partial shutdown affects about a quarter of the U.S. government and approximately 800,000 federal workers. Now in its fourth week, the shutdown is the result of an impasse between the president and congressional Democrats over funding for a border wall, which Trump promised during the 2016 campaign.

When asked, "Who do you think is mainly responsible for this situation?" 53 percent of Americans told pollsters they blamed Trump and congressional Republicans. A much smaller 29 percent blamed Democrats and another 13 percent said both sides were equally responsible. Four percent had no opinion.

Graham needs to step up and demand the President negotiate after opening the government.

Graham needs to step up and demand the President negotiate after opening the government.

He needs to form a group to confront McConnell. The Democrats have passed bills.

Republicans shooting each other in the foot!
Graham prefers taking it in ass!

Graham needs to step up and demand the President negotiate after opening the government.

Translation: Trump needs to give up on the wall after re-opening the government.

Your Orange Pig said Mexico was paying for the wall.

Your Orange Pig said Mexico was paying for the wall.

I couldn’t care less who pays for it.

Did you have to go to a larger hat size since Trump took up residence inside your head?

[jimmymccready]

Darth, there will be no wall, and you folks won't support Trump next year in the primaries.

Which President was that who said that we don't negotiate with terrorists? Toadstool is a terrorist holding America hostage for his Great Ego Wall.
