Trump's strategy for dealing with Mueller.

Trump Might Regret Ending The Trump Sh*tdown So Soon.....

While the Trump Sh*tdown was in play - that was all the MSM focused on. Trump had a 3 day reprieve from the news and pressure of the Mueller investigation.

Now since the Trump Sh*tdown has ended - the MSM is again talking about Mueller and the Russian Collusion Investigation.

Over The Next Three Weeks The Dems Need To Come Up With A Less Expensive Alternative To The Wall....

I'm sure if the Dems put smart people together to come up with such an alternative - they can come up with something better and less expensive than a $20 billion wall. It might include more comprehensive use of drones, improved electronic monitoring around the border, improved roads for patrol access through remote areas, high range security cameras that can see up to 15 miles away, night vision cameras, intelligent fencdes and in-ground sensors that detect movement essentially deploying smarter 21st century technology. We certainly have very successful tech companies that can accomplish this goal.

The Dems need to go into the negotiations 3 weeks from now with a very strong negotiation tool to use against Trump and the Repugs.

The Dems need to make the case that spending $20B on an inefficient wall is just a waste of money, especially if its just so Trump can say he kept his campaign promise.

Further more he is only keeping half of his campaign promise because there is no way Mexico will pay for a wall. The cost of such a boondoggle should not fall to the taxpayers of the U.S. just to keep a silly promise made in the heat of an election campaign.

The Dems want border security. With such an alternative to the wall the Dems can make the case that we accomplish it and less expensively that will save the taxpayers money to boot.

Such an alternative to the wall would put the Dems on the offensive for this issue. It's about time the Dems start thinking out of the box and going on the offensive.

- More efficient and better border security with a savings to the taxpayers.
- Trump's plan is a waste of money as walls aren't foolproof.
- Mexico is not going to pay for a wall.

You know McConnell is not going to put a clean DACA bill up in the Senate. They will attach all kinds of items that will complicate this attempt. The biggest in my opinion will be Trump sticking to his want of a wall. That's why it is imperative that the Dems put up an alternative plan that they can use to counteract Trump's wall. One that makes sense from a financial standpoint where they can garner support from the U.S. Taxpayers.

One other thing I'd like to see incorporated in McConnell's bill in 3 weeks is that 'those employers that hire illegal immigrants will be prosecuted or penalized in some way'. Such employers are part and parcel to any immigration problems that we may have.

So Did Trump Bring Back Bipartisanship To The Senate?.....

Is this why Trump said that - we need a sh*tdown?

Is he going to say - his purposeful inaction over the last 3 days - brought the Senate together?

So Now Everybody Is Going To Take A Victory Lap.....

we will hear how everybody single handedly ended the sh*tdown.

Can't wait to see Trump's tweets.

Can't wait to hear Sarah H's comments as well.

Doesn't Forgiveness Come After The Person You Will Be Forgiving Says They're Sorry?......

I didn't hear Trump say he was sorry for having an affair with Stormy Daniels - i year after he married Melania and she was pregnant with Barron. Instead - he had his lawyer pay Daniels - hush money to keep her quiet.

I don't buy Graham's forgiveness defense of Trump.

Was The Press Presentr At Mar-A-Lago Last Night....

even if it was outside the gates of the place? I want to know who showed up there and paid $100,000 per couple ro attend that party.

Who was in line seeking Trump's attention? Has anything been reported on this yet?
