National Emergency? If so is it to change the subject off Cohen and Buzzfeed or are Republican Senators privately starting to buckle?

 

 

Sounds like it. 

 

The way the Tweet focuses on "Humanitarian crisis" suggests that he is giving SCOTUS the pretense for upholding it because Trump is stating a plausibly justifiable motivation even if it is a laughably thin pretense as all his prior statements have proven.

 

Just like the Muslim ban(great precedent there, Kennedy:thumbup:)

Apparently Pence, McConnell, and Kushner have made some deal. Notably absent are the Democrats who are needed to actually pass it.

 

 

It is fucking uncanny how similar this is to the exact thing that is going on in the UK right now.

 

After her historical defeat this past week over her Brexit deal, supposedly May's plan B is to have them vote on the same plan again. As one pundit put it, her plan B is to scribble over the A on her deal and write a B :p

 

I am wondering if this will basically be an attempt at a reboot of the discussion with Trump trying to recapture the initiative by saying the Senate has reached a deal to reopen the government....with the same deal as before with 5 billion for the wall.

 

This may sound fucking stupid and pointless, but it's typical GOP rebranding without changing. It gives them a counter narrative to House Dems going out there and saying how many times they've voted to reopen the government.

The offer is a nice way to put the "No" at the feet of the Democrats... not as if folks havent already made up their minds... but the unpaid voters might be influenced

This is why the Democrats should've been first out of the gamt with something DACA-related, even if had zero chance of getting through the Senate.  That's how you seize the initiative and go on the offensive against the GOP.

 

They've really kinda blown that opportunity.

Democrats are really bad at offense. 

 

That's why even some congressional dems do not know what to make of AOC.

So temporary protection in exchange for a permanent wall? lol.

Yup, this is a "Compromise" that the GOP came up with itself, but didn't include any from the far right, and they even aren't sure what he will say, so the planned call between GOP senators also got pushed to after he speaks, lol.

Give it a couple days of "Amnesty for illegals," or "amnesty Don" from the right, this deal would have been done last year otherwise.

hat Steve KingTweet is already indicative of what The Right thinks... They kept Trump from making the DACA deal when 25 Billion was on the table. Why would they for it now at one fifth of the budget? Makes no sense for them. As long as Trump is influenced by the Far Right and Senate Republicans refuse to call out the Steve Kings and Louie Gomerts of their party, nothing will ever get done no matter how much they try to blame Dems. Trump couldn't get the wall done with both houses of the Senate for this very reason because The Tea Party refuses to budge on anything.
