With a new year, it’s time to move the conversation to a new thread.
First item on the list, Government Shutdown.
Everyone keeps talking about how it’s so surprising but most seem to forget that Trump swore in December 2017 that he wouldn’t sign a budget without funding for the wall.
We’re talking about funding a total of I think 234 miles of wall. Basically all Democrats voted less than a decade ago to add about 350 miles of border wall. Why the complete flip flop in position? Why is no one making them explain this?
I’m convinced the only reason Democrats are against it is because they are afraid of Trump looking good. They hate him. The money Trump is asking for is 0.13% of the Federal budget. Basically nothing on a $4T+ budget.
I’m also yet to hear a reasonable explanation as to why it’s “immoral” to build the wall. I think it comes down to money and power. Democrats have something to gain either financially or at the polls by basically supporting illegal immigration. These days, they just call it “immigration” as if there’s no problem at all. They call illegal immigrants “Americans”, “Citizens” and now have sanctuary cities to protect illegals. It’s absurd that people defend this and call Trump a racist for wanting to fix it.
I hope Trump stands firm and leaves it shut down until the absurdity ends and Democrats agree to fund an extremely reasonable project that they themselves have supported in the past.
Nancy Pelosi even tried to delay the State of the Union Address over “security” issues. The Secret service does not feel the same way. She’d better get ready because Trump is going to wholly annihilate the Dems for obstructionism in that speech. Is that what the speech is meant for? No. But I believe it’s necessary and that Trump sees that. Nancy is scared of him.
So... 2019 politics. Ready. Set. Go!
