    McConnell has to agree to bring such bills to a vote in the Senate and send it to the President.

    Not at all...because declaring an emergency is pounding sand for Trump. The courts are never going to allow him to use those powers. They'll shut that shit down, then neither Trump nor his Conservative enablers will mention the wall ever again.

    I don’t live in a gated community, in fact I rarely lock my doors.

    I remember when the Left declared the end of DJt's presidential run. That was the day he came down the escalator and announced ... "Mexico is not sending us their best ... ".

    Stop pretending that Trump's supporters didn't elect him partly based on his firm stance on border security. An issue that has been dragged out for 50 years by professional politicians like your heroes, Chuck and Nancy.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Nice attempted deflection...but no cigar.

    Trump caved to Limbaugh and Ingrham. He was going to sign the legislation that passed the Senate overwhelmingly. Then Limbaugh and Ingrham called him the punk he is...and he CAVED.

    Stop pretending that Trump's supporters didn't elect him partly based on his firm stance on border security. An issue that has been dragged out for 50 years by professional politicians like your heroes, Chuck and Nancy.

    I'm not doing that. That is just a figment of your attempted diversion.

    I am for border control...even stronger border control than we have.

    But THE WALL has precious little to do with border control...except to the morons who are Trump puppets.

    THE WALL was a promise the abomination made during the campaign.

    "What are we gonna build?"


    Whoops and cheers and a loud, "A wall."

    "Who's gonna pay for it?"


    More whoops and cheers and an even louder, "Mexico."

    The fucking terminally stupid making asinine, unkeepable promises to even more stupid bunch of suckers.

    While Trump spoke calmly and rationally from behind the Resolute Desk, the Democratic leaders accused him of “pounding the table” and having a “temper tantrum.” While Trump told human stories, they complained about process. They accused him of arguing that the women and children at the border were “a security threat” when he had just explained to the American people that they were victims, too. They charged him with using the “backdrop of the Oval Office to manufacture a crisis, stoke fear and divert attention from the turmoil in his administration.” They were partisan and petty, while Trump came across as reasonable and even compassionate.

    To normal Americans watching in the heartland, and who are not steeped in Trump hatred, the president must have seemed like the adult in the room.

    And, most important, Pelosi and Schumer failed to use the one word that millions of Americans were longing to hear — compromise. But Trump did. That is why the president won the night. Schumer and Pelosi appealed to their base, while Trump made an effective appeal to persuadable Americans.

    Until now, Trump has owned the 18-day government shutdown that prompted this address, because he’s the one who started it. But if Democrats continue to attack him, and won’t entertain any compromise, soon the shutdown will be all theirs — because they’re the ones who have refused to end it.

    Maybe this is how it ends, leaving the single issue of the wall outstanding after the government is back and running otherwise.
    How do they pass funding without Trump snowflake?

Ironically, the military are often better situated to manage without a steady paycheck than other groups. At least if you live on base, for example, you don't have to worry about making your mortgage payment. You also get various subsidies covering day-to-day life (e.g., ability to buy in the PX/BX), and some tax exemptions, plus all sorts of special perks like stand-by air travel on military transport, etc. For some (e.g., enlisted living in barracks), you can even eat for free. If you have to get by for a while without an income, you're going to be much better positioned to do so than, say, a typical TSA agent.
