Gimme That Wall! Gimme! Gimme!
Y’all, he wants that damn wall.
The White House is finalizing details of a potential national emergency declaration to secure President Donald Trump’s border wall, even as lawmakers are trying to broker an immigration deal that could avert another shutdown in just over two weeks.
He truly doesn’t understand that the biggest hurdle is gonna be Texas ranchers and farmers in the Rio Grande valley who do not want to have their property or their access to the river confiscated by the goldarn guvmint. There’s gonna be shooting – and worse yet, lawyers – involved.
I have a vision of Speaker Pelosi standing in the desert with a bunch of ranchers behind her facing off against Donald Trump and Matthew Whitaker, the guy who sweats so much they ought to keep him down there to water the crops.
Trump is backed against the wall. McConnell isn’t going to let him shut down the government again and Democrats are not going to let him have a wall.
I gotta be honest, I am looking forward to the SOTU to hear him threaten the entire freekin’ country.
When asked on Friday how she believes Trump will respond to caving and re-opening the government without wall funding, Pelosi directed reporters’ attention to her office decorations. “We could plant these flowers along the border and he’d say, ‘I got my wall,’” she said.
“We’re not going to govern by campaign slogan,” the House speaker added.

1pResident Good Brains, who as it turns out (d’oh) didn’t write “Art of the Deal.” Someone left out an eff or something. Anyway, Cadet Bone Spurs (oops those didn’t happen either) missed his chance for glory back in the 70s. Now this he ain’t no Sun Tzu is preparing to battle with Speaker Pelosi. With Old Scratch McConnell playing Switzerland this time around, it’s like Germany won the WWII without Italy and Japan.
The SOTU?! We know what we will be and not be watching, as do many others. Who in this maladministration has drawn the short straw to tell Dotard45 that the rebuttal given by Stacey Abrams had better ratings?
2Either we cede the Rio Grande and some land alongside it to Mexico or steal Mexican territory to build the wall. How is this going to work and why hasn’t somebody in the press asked the moron about this?
3If any sections of a border wall are ever constructed, I hope future Democrats will approve funding for decorative Trump-goyles, placed every 20 feet along the top, facing the US side to warn potential American Presidential candidates in days to come that sometimes they might get MORE than they bargained for.
4Lumpkin: Trump is not into details. It confuses his narrative.
5This really is getting scary. He is out of control. He rejects the Democrats’ border proposal, which is so reasonable that any sane person would approve it over his damn wall. He declares that the Mexican border is an emergency, while claiming that the entire intelligence community of the United States has no idea what they’re talking about, because his good buddies Putin and Kim like him and say good things about him. And he’s dismantling every little thing we’ve tried to do to slow down climate change, which is the biggest threat coming down the pike short of all-out nuclear war.
The biggest threat to the national security of the United States is the damn President, people. The only thing that can stop him is the Senate or the Cabinet, and they won’t. This will not end well.
6I wonder if he will be as sedated as he was for his Jan 8 address or we will get the duct tape rape fantasy version of our Commander In Chief. I need to save the second for posterity as the first President to express his sexual abuse fantasies on live TV, not merely 10 year old recordings of walking into a room of teens changing clothes or grabbing a handful whenever he wants. At least I hope the duct tape is just a fantasy…
7Well… there is the Second Amendment solution, but I think the Secret Service still frowns on that. For now.
8the Secret Service still frowns on that.
It would be a gross tactical error. The immediate backlash would be enormous and quite likely violent, and we’d be saddled with a quasi-religious cult of the martyr for generations.
9How can this POS call a shutdown?? I thought congress was his equal and could out vote him and tell him to shovel-it!??!
10So why doesn’t the congress tell him they where appoint to run the govenment, and not get paid for doing nothing!! Or are the ‘do-somethings’ out numbered by lazy criminal rePUKEians that would rather be paid to do nothing??
It seems to me that we should see his tax returns before we build the first foot of wall. I think we would discover that we are all Mexican to The Donald.
11Can’t stomach listening to him, but I will enjoy Abrams’ rebuttal.
12If the press asked about the land grab and the resulting court mess, he will just say that the ranchers and farmers told him (when?) that they gladly would give up their land and water access. Sorta like he did when lying about how federal workers told him they enjoyed working without pay, as long as the wall was built. However, it is odd that he never gets asked that question.
@ NicaBrian: Didn’t the duct tape and rape thing turn out to be a movie? Apparently, Trump conflated the movie “Sicario” with real life, and actually believes that such things happened at our border with Mexico. He wants to strengthen our defenses at the border, against the plot of a movie. He can’t tell fact from fantasy, and is clearly unfit to be president.
13Messy may think Donnie is the biggest bully on twitter, but the in his own head ‘big’ man is being owned by NDP. Her latest: “We could plant flowers on border and he’d say, ‘I got my wall’”
Win-win would be in lieu of flowers for Dotard45’s funeral, send seed money to the Rio Grande. Let that happen before the spring planting season this year. signed ~ Regrets we missed the 2018 fall planting.
14Now if we could just get the bundy’s and their crew of neanderthals down there to stand guard against demented donnies federali’s kicking people off their land.
Wonder if after 2, or more years, of demented donnies example if law enforcement will be as restrained as they were when Obama was president?
Will they hold fire when the nutjobs are drawing on bead on them like they were under Obama’s leadership?
There is an arguement that having the two groups of noxious folks ( bundy gang bangers and the blue clad bangers) shoot it out might just cull humanity of the worse of its members no matter who ends up on the ground.
15Humanity can only win.
jI agree about the lawsuits. There will be so many and eat up so much time. After one suit is settled more will pop up. this is a litigious country ya know!
16I predict there will be some Saws-Alls in use very soon after construction
17It’s becoming increasingly obvious, to me anyway, that Donald is going for the 25th Amendment solution. He then has proof, wonderful proof that he is crazy and not guilty of anything ever! Everyone else goes down but hey, it’s always all about Donald, innit?
18At some point during the opening movements of the Civil War, or war of Southern Secession, or whatever, President Lincoln ordered one of his Generals to arrest the members of the Maryland Legislature. The reason being to make it impossible for the Legislature to vote to secede. Trump is just crazy enough to order one or more of his tame generals to arrest enough Dems in the house and senate to allow a vote in favor of the wall and the money to pay for it. I’m hoping that some one who is equally crazy will introduce Trump to the historical concept of “The Republic of the Rio Grand” and thereby send Trump off to create that Republic, thereby cementing his place in history.
19Hey Donnie Small Hands, there are a lot of guns in South Texas and they know how to use them.
20The idiot in chief is again at it.
He is afraid to loose all the idiots in this country.
I think the write is right as there are still in court a lot of case in court from people who had their land taken before. for Think again Texas and ranches have their cows drinking out of the Rio Grande between America and Mexico.
That would really destroy the Food for American? The Idiot does not think about anything but himself.
21I think if he was on an island with all his children and grandchildren who would he safe if only save 1 person, the idiot would really save himself.
Everybody know that.
Re the ‘Second Amendment solution’ mentioned: I would not be at all surprised that our Intelligence agencies have debated it. They are in the position more than anyone to know what a danger he is. I emphatically do not want to see this happen and if the need arises I think they have enough compromising material on him to simply persuade him to resign.
22So a pool or prediction thread for what will be biggest delusion/ inanity at the state of the union?
23Threatens Nancy with arrest?
Re: Joe Hill #22
I keep wondering who will fill Mrs. Hardings purported role in this american tragedy
