On this weekend’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said President Donald Trump will secure the U.S.-Mexico border “with or without Congress.”

Mulvaney said,”No one wants a government shutdown it is not a desired end, but when a president vetoes a bill that’s put in front of him on a spending package, sometimes that has the effect of shutting the government down. We don’t go into this trying to shut the government down.”

When asked about Trump using emergency powers to build a wall, Mulvaney said, “It’s still better to get it through legislation. That right way to do it. But at the end of the day, the president is going to secure the border one way or another.”

Time to go to the mattresses with the Dems. Barney Waters has one bullet in her pocket, let her fire it. She doesn't have the votes and The Turtle should just tell the House No Show Trial in my chamber.

To the whiners crying about emergencies. the next Dem President is going to do this anyway. They are talking about "packing" the SCOTUS to ensure they always have a majority for goodness sake.

Stop being Cucks and fight!

Prediction, Trump will shutdown government again and declare a NE with funding well in excess of $5.7 billion. Then he will tell Dems to send him a bill with the $5.7 requested and he will cancel the NE & open the government. It seems clear that Trump doesn't want to issue a NE.

If Nancy runs her chamber, The Turtle surely runs his, or the President of the Senate, Mike Pence.

File impeachment. Tell that drunk count when you have 67 votes you can put on your circus, until then there will be NO show trial conducted by you morons in our chamber.

wait - is that possible??

If the corrupt HoR does affirm the articles of impeachment - isn't it a constitutional requirement for the senate to 'adjudicate' it?

Dimz will say "go for it" and not a single slat will be erected before the 2020 elections

He'll blame the courts, and anyone he can, and it will be a political loser, and probably cost him re-election

While I agree with securing the border, I absolutely hate circumventing congress to do it

It would be fantastic if Trump uses this opportunity to have a special investigation into how Obama secured the funds for Iran.

US taxes for a terrorist country but none for the safety of US citizens.

It's sickening.

Not when there's an immediate court ruling and restraining order

If there is an immediate ruling and a restraining order on something deemed a national emergency it won't end up at the SCOTUS until after 2020? Or are you saying the court will uphold the ruling, given that you say not a single slat will go up before then?

What does Chuckles the Clown's cue cards read? Ol' Chuckles is worse at public speaking than most 6th graders.

And how long till Princess Pelosi starts giving her speeches with her glass of booze still in hand? Waving the half empty tumbler around and alternating pointing with the index/pinkie finger.

You think trump just says "emergency!" and crews start putting up wall?

It took 400 eminent domain condemnations to build 100 miles of wall in Texas

This stuff doesn't happen overnight, regardless of how SC rules

There are currently 32 active national emergencies. Trump has already declared 2 of them. What's the big deal? Here is a good summary of all the past national emergencies.
