    Trump makes America look weak and stupid and he acts like a little crybaby

    The man is a national security risk and should be removed from office as soon as possible by section 4 of the 25th amendment

    Well, it will help the economy since America always does better when government does less.

    It will last until people start expecting their early tax refunds, which is about a month from now. Then, the Senate will override Trump's veto of Pelosi's wall-less spending bill.

    The Senate has already warned the House that they will not bring a bill to the floor until they proposed something acceptable. No bill to veto.

    You need to learn to post a link for the Current Events section with a title that appropriately matching the title of the article.

    IF
    true, Trump is a fool. The border agents will soon quit to find other lines of work to make MONEY, and any border security he had wanted would evaporate. The dodo doesn't think before he speaks.

    I saw that headline in the news today. I must say that's a wonderful bit of news. That means Trump is not going to budge on this game of chicken with the Congress. :clapping:

    Democrats could fix that easily. They don't want to compromise.

    GOP could fix it EASY.

    The GOP just needs to agree on compromise bills that pass Both chambers by veto-proof majorities.

    Problem solved

    That will change. An unpopular president whose party just lost the House by 40 seats does not have a mandate. Trump has stupidly painted himself into a corner he can't get out of.

    Which is a breach of the separation of powers imo.

    Why not let the vote go and make trump veto it like the big boy that he is?

    How do you figure that? That's a feature of a bi-cameral legislature, they don't have to work in lockstep.

    Because perhaps the Senate has goals of its own?

    Because the powers are supposed to represent checks and balances for one another - not to protect other branches. I also disagree with presidents endorsing canidates for congress.

    We have allowed our government to become a corrupt mockery of itself.

    Trump can be provoked into stupid statements since he only cares about himself not the needs of the nation. Republicans must be so proud.

    The longer this goes on the less likely the republican senators want to be associated with the retard. He's going to wake up one day finding all his 'buddies' will be the ones screaming for impeachment or at least Article 25.

    Congress is supposed to keep the president in check, not bend over and kiss his @$$.

    Wouldn't funding the wall which would create tax paying jobs help the economy? And I mean the entire wall.
