Sigh... lol Because the basic fact is no matter what you do to a turd - polish it, paint it, give it bling - it's still a turd, and there is nothing you can do about that underlying fact.

I can imagine your reaction if Obama said he would no longer allow FEMA money to be spent in Mississippi for hurricane relief because he disagreed with the amount of shoreline development the state allowed.

McConnell has been pretty quiet about all this for a few weeks now.
They had a deal done, the WH told McConnell that Trump would sign, it passed unanimously...and then Trump got cold feet because he watched too much TV. Kinda think Cocaine Mitch ain't exactly in the mood to bail Trump out of this?

This particular group of Senators getting together to speak to Graham suggests Republican Moderates are getting restless and annoyed. (Plus Kushner who, reportedly, isn't 100% onboard with the shutdown the govt indefinitely idea)
EDIT: On another note, Justin Amash came out and said that Trump would be exceeding his executive authority if he declares a national emergency. Plenty of other Republicans are probably thinking it, but wont say it out loud.Last edited by Dr. Strangelove; January 9, 2019, 06:25 PM.

These articles come via Noah Rothman (Commentary magazine). So you think Democrats have been inconsistent in their support for a Wall? Recall: the Republicans controlled both Houses of Congress for 8 years, including the first two years of Trump's Presidency. Deals to fund the Wall were constantly put out there but nothing ever happened. Blaming Senate Democrats non-enthusiasm is ridiculous; just look at these Republican responses. Guess what? Republicans in Congress suddenly got way, waaaaay more enthusiastic about a Wall once they were out of power. Sort of like how they voted 50+ times to abolish Obamacare then got cold feet once the votes actually mattered.

(2/6/2017) "I have concerns about spending un-offset money, which adds to the debt, period," [John] Cornyn said bluntly when asked about the wall. "I don't think we're just going to be able to solve border security with a physical barrier because people can come under, around it and through it."

********************************************
The next time a Trump supporter tells you Dems are being inconsistent about support for the Wall, remind them Republicans failed again and again and again to get a bill passed EVEN IN THE HOUSE, where there is no fillibuster. And many of the sycophants defending Trump the loudest today (*cough* Graham *cough*) were calling the Wall a waste of money just a couple years ago.
