Now Democrats should vote no on the compromise

[Yosemito]

Make Trump go all or nothing with his national emergency scam.
Why give him 1.6 billion if he thinks he doesn't need Congress anyway?

1. Dumbass tipped his hand. Don't sign on to any compromise, even this one.

He's going to lose his legal challenge.

Dems should demand more concessions NOW!

[SharonAnn]

16. Guess what? I'm going to let Nancy Pelosi handle this.

[struggle4progress]

21. +

[Mme. Defarge]

22. Damn straight!

[TheCowsCameHome]

2. No deal, big boy.

Let him suffer the consequences.

[onecaliberal]

3. Agreed.

[LexVegas]

4. What?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. Didn't we already agree to the compromise?

If we back out now we will get blamed.

[Yosemito]

7. Congress hasn't voted yet

i believe.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

10. We agreed to it in principle.

[Yosemito]

15. Before the National Emergent thing

Update.

[democratisphere]

6. Can't wait to see how Nancy Pelosi and Chuck outmaneuver

drumpf et al on this sham of a national emergency.

[onenote]

8. No. Let's not shut down the government with our votes.

[bitterross]

9. WRONG! That's a damn stupid idea.

He's going to sign an agreement that gives him far less than he wants. Then he's going to lose in court on the national emergency.

We need to vote for the compromise to keep government open.

He's already lost when he signs it.

[Yosemito]

13. The Supreme Court is conservative

You are overly optimistic

[bitterross]

25. I don't think Roberts will go for it

Too much at stake for no real reward. Cons don't really want the wall. And, it would set a dangerous precedent. There's no long-term benefit for the right.

11. Don't think air traffic controllers would agree

[Yosemito]

12. If we use that logic

We will get a bad deal every year because traffic controllers.

[lame54]

14. Are we getting a bad deal?

[onenote]

17. So let's say we kill the budget deal. Then what?

He goes ahead with his declaration. And the government is shut down. People don't get tax refunds. Air controllers get overworked. People just barely recovering from the last shutdown are back to standing in line for a free meal from Jose Andres.

And for what? For the government to be shut down until Trump reverses his emergency declaration? If the courts rule against him, he'll keep fighting it. And if the courts rule for him, then what? Leave the government shut down?

One of the least well-thought out suggestions I've seen here in quite some time.

Fortunately, Nancy, Chuck and the Democratic caucus are thoughtful adults.

18. lulz

[LexVegas]

19. Now we should smoke meth! nt

[Iggo]

20. So he can finally blame the shutdown on the Democrats.

Oh no, I don't think so.

[Vinca]

23. No - let him declare the national emergency. It will be tied up in courts for months on end

and will go nowhere. In the meantime, the news will be broadcasting the real facts of the "crisis" all day long. It's time the Trumphumpers realize the piss pouring down on their heads isn't lemonade.

[BluegrassDem]

24. Why shut down the government again? That's stupid

[walkingman]

26. Good idea!
