Who might be going to the Mexican border on the day the House votes to re-open the Government wihout providing money for a wall?

[calimary]

1. He wants to distract from the ascendance of Speaker Pelosi.

“He” meaning trump.

[defacto7]

4. That's his usual shtick.

[getagrip_already]

6. yup.......

mean spirited, petty, and vindictive. Gets you really far dealing with the second most powerful person in america.

11. If it's Trump he's losing the element of surprise, isn't he?

2. I was checking NOTAMS for West Palm Beach this morning.

I have a feeling he wants to sneak out of ZIP code 20500.

3. Democrats should meet him at the border

and make him defend his dumbass wall. Better yet, toss him over the border. Sorry Mexico.

5. I'm in NM and could use a road trip.....

....after the snow stops anyway.....

10. I've only been to NM once, for a business meeting. It was planned around the Balloon Festival...

...but when we got there it was snowing and we learned that it was being cancelled, the ONLY time it was ever cancelled.

7. More...

Libbey AFF in Arizona has precisely the same NOTAM for 1/5 : http://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_8_6096.html And Corpus Christie seems to have the same thing for the 3rd & 4th : http://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_8_4817.html. Another Trump chump stunt tour?

8. I'm sure the merchants will be pleased when he snarls traffic worse than normal

The two points of interest right next to the McAllen airport are
1.- CBP detention center
2.- La Plaza Mall - One of the the highest retail sales mall per square foot anywhere in the US.

9. I doubt it will be the dotard. He's been whining all weekend about how the Democrats....

...should shorten their "vacation" (it isn't a vacation) and go back to Washington to vote on the wall. I doubt that even he is stupid enough to leave Washington on the very day they're going back to DC.

Maybe it's Neilsen going down there to make more excuses for killing little children.

12. Any update?

Maybe Pompeo stopping there on the way back from Brazil?

13. It looks as if this will be happening for real this Thursday.
