    Congress never should’ve approved Trump’s budget with border wall funding in it. Never. All he did was wait until Congress approved some then declared a national emergency the next day.

        Don’t agree, he is boxed in and now looks like a fool with this National Emergency. Another shutdown would have been devestating, let the law suits begin and judges deal with nonsense this now.

        So you are encouraging another shutdown? He would have declared regardless, and unless I misunderstood, no money is allowed to be used for a wall.

        This just proves that the Shutdown was 100% Trump's fault! If he was just going to declare a national emergency, congress should have been able to give him $0 for the wall / fence / barrier / iron curtain.

        A phone call is worth far more than tweets. Call your elected members of Congress and demand Trump's impeachment and removal. You can do so here: https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials … #ImpeachTrump #FakeTrumpEmergency #FAKENationalEmergency

        Come on. What then. You must negotiate. They got a lot of good stuff, isn't it. Would he start with a shutdown again. Just very complex. But what a mess. What a mess. Scary stuff.

        They didn’t approve any money for his wall. That’s the point of him doing this.

        Dems have achieved nothing. The end of the shutdown was entirely because of staff at LaGuardia taking a stand.

        Congress might take it out in the 2018/19 Appropriations legislation. He can ask for whatever, but Congress doesn’t have to appropriate funds for a wall. Now, comes the lawsuits about declaring Emergency. He won’t be able to declare one in future for wall.

        After reading this? I agree w/Shaun King. Dems. getting spanked. Looks like laws don’t mean jack. Dude is above the law. Does what he wants & all Cong. & the people do is whine abt it. In meantime, he’s robbing USA.http://bit.ly/2tlKt2E

        border protection funding, not for a wall he's already started building in his head and in the eyes of his base, apparently.
