[Hoot Gibson]

Why is it that the most vulnerable just cannot resist a little swipe, MR Swami? Agreed, many Republicans are and were turncoats. I don't doubt he didn't have the right, the question in my mind is did he do it anyway? I hope you're right and we aren't bound. The NYT says we are, and what with me and Lou Dobbs being on vacation for so long, I missed over a month of the President's morning security briefings.

Agreed, playing footsie makes zero sense. When was it that he did that again? Cause I think he realizes the traitorous death grip this nation's citizenry finds itself, and is working out how best to play hardball. I see the daily revelations too, and I still haven't managed to get my arms around the level of hypocrisy and compromise. I know despite all, Billary still makes threats fearlessly, as if there is no way she'd ever face justice. The revelations will keep the public wide eyed for some time yet, if indications are to be believed.

The support for the wall from the people is there. But so is the 'resistance' ... and from both sides of the aisle. If all it takes to dethrone them is to shut government down, I say shut it down.

Nobody hurls more insults here than you, do, TRT. It is one of the reasons that I have made my presence here rare.

Threatening and then following through on a government shutdown would probably result in an override of a Trump veto and it might well cost Trump his presidency. However, doing the right thing, as opposed to talking about doing the right thing, does not come without risk.

So far, Trump has been much better at promising than he has been at delivering. I love the position that he has taken on North Korea, but the time for talk is drawing to a close. Time will tell whether Trump is willing to back up his tough talk with tougher action, but he will have my full support when and if he decides to act.

If Trump's own supporters do not demand that he makes a good faith effort to keep his promises, then who will?
