1. Is English his second language??

What a moron.

[cstanleytech]

2. Good, then the next Democratic president can declare one and institute medicare for all.

[Squinch]

3. That means he won't.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. Perhaps. He is milking the issue as a distraction & for base as long as he can. . . . nt

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

4. Blowing and blowing

up that trial balloon, until it pops. Then The Patriot Act etc kicks in. And, a DHS led by a little lady who showed us for sure yesterday she'll lie...ABOUT NATIONAL EMERGENCIES. (K. Nielson) How's that square w the next hurricane season? (for example.)
"I went to Fla....didn't see a Nat. disaster...so..no FEMA funds."

5. I think he will.

It's his only way out, really.

That doesn't mean that the wall gets built. It just gets him out of the pinch he's in. He'll declare an emergency, and the Dems will sue. By the time that gets all settled, he and his base will have moved on. Anytime it comes up, in the future--he'll just blame the Dems.

Just a further degrading of the office of the Presidency.

[Fla Dem]

7. Exactly. He'll tell his base he did the best he could to fulfill his campaign promise and keep

America safe. He will cast Dems as saboteurs, further widening the divide between political factions. He is destroying this country.

6. Then get on with it asshole, and let's see what the courts decide

9. I agree with Donny on MSNBC this morning.

He said if this happens "he wins", he gets to say he reopened the government and was stronger than the Democrats on border security. He wins, again....

[RestoreAmerica2020]

10. Please do proceed odious racist and traitor. Imo he'll declare

...natoonal emergency tomorrow, govt shut down will continue--afterall it's Friday and he needs to control weekend narrative.

[Adrahil]

11. The House Democrats better have lawsuit paperwork ready to file immediately. NT

12. Oh how knows!! Toddlers especially spoiled ones change their minds every 2 minutes

13. He's nuts...!!! And..He's stupid too....nt
