I bet JA declares a National Emergency this afternoon. Funny, he had not much of anything on his agenda today, until Stone's arrest, & now is speaking from the WH this afternoon. I agree, definitely a change the subject move. He definitely alluded to it - that if they don't give him what he wants by Feb 15th then he will use the Emergency statute.

I listened to a portion of Trump's speech. I generally don't listen to him as I cannot stand the sound of his voice, but I had the television on while I was showering and then getting dressed. He is such a lying POS. He stated that he NEVER said he wanted a concrete wall across the entire border. During his campaign he definitely said concrete wall, I couldn't find anything saying across the entire border (but wouldn't doubt he said it). He also went on and on about the humanitarian crisis, how people are having to wait extremely long times for their cases to be heard. That is all of his making.
My personal belief (and I've been wrong many times in the past) is that he is getting tired and bored being president. His numbers are falling, his legacy is shot, all of his friends are being indicted. I think he'll either resign (or be impeached) before the 2020 election.

Boy, Luanne, I hope you are right. I think he looks tired, too. DH thought he was slurring his words today, I didn't catch that but he has before in past tirades.
Oh, he has definitely said he wanted a "big beautiful concrete wall" across the border. He also lied today when he said the Dems have come to realize that a wall is necessary. Ahhhh, NOT!
The clapping from Pence, Kushner & others on the sidelines is not playing very well. IDIOTS!
DH kept saying, cut him off. I personally think the more he talks, the more real DT comes out. He is his own worst enemy when he goes off script as he did today, AGAIN!
From the news so far, his friends at FOX are not happy. Yeah, that works for me.

I just read that his comments about the women being smuggled across the border (when the smugglers turn right, or left instead of going through the check points) with tape over their mouths so they can't breath, was all off the cuff. Seems his teleprompter hiccuped and he had to go off script. So, he made stuff up. Surprising.

He can't open his mouth without lying even now, but the facts are he did this to hundreds of thousands of people and got absolutely NOTHING for it. Yeah, he knows how to negotiate. LOL!

Seeing and hearing Pelosi and Schumer this afternoon lifted my spirits. Yay! The grownups are making sense. They're so, well, reasonable and sane. They're not screaming. They're speaking to the people about their concerns for the people they represent. They were doing their job! Not one "I".
They wouldn't allow the reporters to tarnish the moment with divisive questions.
I'm still feeling good. I am proud of them. Although I haven't been proud to be an American for sometime, I am proud to be an American and a Democrat today.

Great the government has opened again, oh those poor people especially those who need meds or have children that need meds. It will take months for some of them to catch up again on bills.
I do have a little vent though: SCHUMER KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT ABOUT TEACHING TRUMP A LESSON! We all know you did, but do not rub his nose in it till after he is out of office. He is wayyyyyy to easy to bait! That is not the way you handle an ego like Mr. Trump. Hope Nancy smacked him upside the head for it.
O.K. so it was a big VENT.....

Elizabeth a warm welcome to you......I have read you on the MOVIE THREAD with Gail and on the BOOK THREAD with Connie.
These gals here are FABULOUS, but always good to have another point of view.
Started in Highbridge the Bronx, then my mom's family went out to Queens N.Y. in '48 and my family headed up to the country.....Chappaqua, Westchester Co.
Pattybird is also from N.Y.

I agree with you about Schumer, Anne. It was going so well and right at the end he had to go low. Ugh. I couldn't believe it either. Nancy did try to do some damage control. I bet she did want to smack him upside his head. I know I did.
I am a New Yorker. Born and grew up in Queens. I live in Suffolk County on Long Island now.
Welcome again!

You can't make this sh!t up - the cost of the shutdown was 6 billion dollars, 30 million more than the 5.7 billion Trump was demanding.

Okay, I have another theory. Remember, most of my theories don't pan out. Trump agreed to open the government so he could do the State of the Union address in a joint session of Congress, AND so that the Super Bowl would have no airport issues. He's making sounds like if he doesn't get the funding for the wall by February 15 he'll declare a state of emergency. But, if we in a state of emergency shouldn't it be declared NOW?

I don't want to know where he's getting this stuff. Some guy tweeted that Melania better hide all the duct tape in the WH. On a more serious note, two journalists I respect - Mark Shields and David Brooks - both said on PBS Newshour that they do not believe another shutdown will happen after the three weeks are up.

I so hope that is true, about there not being another shutdown.
