Go for it

Has anybody considered taking this case to Judge JudgeJudy's court? It would be great for ratings.

Government is shut down. People aren't getting paid. Looks like a national emergency to me. Call it! Law suits have never stopped Trump before.

Why is the media not holding everyone accountable for shutdown issue? Why is the media not demanding all of the Congress to go to Washington and find a solution?

If he calls this a national emergency, that is taking this way too far!!! Taking money away from 1,000’s of people who truly suffer is INEXCUSABLE!!

Democrats always file lawsuits.

Bring it on BuildTheWalll

They’re more concerned with lawsuits as our southern border is being invaded. Heres your sign snowflakes!! Here’s your sign!!

800Thousand federal workers , please send all overdue bills to Mitch, Senate majority leader, Washington D.C.

What are those dems and wapo waiting for? Enough immigrant children to get thru to satisfy their sick and evil twisted minds and bodies?

realDonaldTrump clearly opened the door yesterday at the Border 4 a DACA deal with Dems. Why is SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer letting the DACAKids down by not running back to DC to end the SchumerPelosiShutdown ?

Disgraceful liberals

So sue , with taxpayers money, for something the president has full authority to do ! Even u liberals that make money and pay taxes should be applaud at the wastefulness of all these lawsuits over hating Trump🙈🙊🙉

I feel like your bothsiderism is really buying the import that a president is considering DECLARING AN EMERGENCY OVER A FAKE SITUATION TO AVOID DEMOCRACY

The problem. Trump is used to dealing with law suits.

Or they could vote for the wall and move on.

Wow. They are trying to stop a president from doing his job to protect the citizens of this country. What made them change thier minds from a few years ago? So much effort to stop this man. The dems are wholly responsible for this impass. President is waiting in his office.

Gov has been shutdown and 800000 employees are furloughed. If this is not emergency then what it is? realDonaldTrump SenSchumer

This is literally how the Nazi party consolidated power...

Why are liberals so hell bent on ruining America? Communism never works, folks.

a lawsuit citing him as a foreign adversary right?

This is finally getting interesting.

NANCY PELOSI HAS NO LEGAL GROUND TO STAND ON ITS AN EMPTY THREAT AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT INCLUDING HER!!!!! SHE JUST LIKES STIRRING UP SHIT UP!!!

nakashimae Federal workers out of work but that doesn’t stop Nancy Pelosi from her $10,000 a night hotel room.

They should fund the wall.

Did you ever report AOC and MFTlaib were banished and rejected from the power committees? Just “fact checking” the fact checkers.

No shit.

Dems work for the Russians.🙂

“Possible” even Can’t get this right. It’s guarantee Liberal activist lawyers will go judge shopping in the 9th circuit (in San Francisco, Washington, or Hawaii).

Why not discuss eminent domain. There are people who don’t want the government to take their land.

Why go to court? Let Trump and Republicans explain to Texas why the federal government is sending the US military to seize their land and see how fast this 'emergency' ends.

Unelected judges are always popular with the left. They alleviate the pain caused by troublesome citizens who want a say in their own culture.

That's right. Thwart progress every chance they get.

ANOTHER LAWSUIT? WELL TRUMP WILL DRAG YET JUST ANOTHER LAWSUIT AS USUAL, ITS NO NEWS TRUMP HAS BEEN FAMOUS FOR DOING THIS HIS ENTIRE ADULT LIFE IN BUSINESS, BANKRUPTCY FAKE TRUMP UNIVERSITY CHEATING ON HIS WIVES CHEATING WORKING PEOPLE PARTNERS THE IRS THISUGLY FAT OLD FART, SAD

This will be very interesting. 🤔I wonder how this time will be spoken of in a year time

The American People are tired of his nonsense. Dems need to check him! Before we all have PTSD!!!!

Jerks.

Why don't they see a possible 5.7 billion dollars to build barriers they all supported Pre-Trump to end the shut down?

The real National emergency is the President. Congress and Senate must stop being silent and remove the real problem here. The emergency is who the president is....he is harming real people in real time. This is not a game. We do not have time to waste. DO YOUR JOB people.

I just want to know one thing. Trump said Mexico was paying for the wall. Why is he bothering Dems about it? Why is he shutting down our govt over it? Let Trump Go talk to Mexico.

Comrade Covfefe seems to have a bottomless barrel of red herrings to throw in order to distract from the Russia investigation.

Meanwhile, victims of the shutdown eye credit default, eviction, hunger, bankruptcy, ruin. And the American people are increasingly endangered in numerous ways by the idiot who claims he cares about 'securing' something—well, maybe for his boss Putin.

Of course they do

but SpeakerPelosi said there is no crisis!

Meanwhile, furloughed and unpaid federal employees suffer.

Giuliani now claims 'I never said there was no collusion between the campaign' and RussiaRudy Giuliani, President Trump's personal attorney, claimed during a Wednesday night CNN interview that he 'never said' the Trump campaign didn't collude with Russia. Between “there was no meetings b/n Russians & Trump campaign” to “I never said there was no collusion b/n Campaign & Russia” there’s light years worth of cover up & lies that has resulted in indictments, convictions & most likely will involve Trump himself Ivanka is going to jail! Only the best and brightest...😉

The Latest: Trump arrives at Texas border townWASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on President Donald Trump and the partial government shutdown (all times local): 1:40 p.m. President Donald Trump arrived at a Texas border town to make the case for his long-promised border wall after negotiations with Democrats blew up over his funding demands. Trump traveled to McAllen, Texas Thursday on the 20th day of a partial government shutdown. He is seeking to use the trip to bolster his argument that a wall is needed on security and humanitarian grounds. Trump is to visit a border patrol station and receive a briefing on border security. The president and congressional Democrats remain at an impasse over his demand for $5.7 billion for a wall along the southern border. Critics say Trump overstates the security risks and that the administration is at least partly to blame for the humanitarian situation. Just go Dickfist Trump. Please take a permanent vacation in the Alps. America does not like you or need you. Get lost. Except that's fine because all he'd be doing there is the same thing be does here. Lying, pouting, sucking up to dictators, watching TV, and rage tweeting. He can stay his ass home. Too cold out. He's headed to Mar-a-Lago, where the sun is always bright. And his staff is 'happy' to see him.

Opinion | Who Is More Macho?Opinion: Trump and Democrats talk past one another again on immigration The focus is NOW on Mitch McConnell. The House has given him bills to open the Gov., Bills already approved in previous packages 92 out of 100. To pay working Americans, BUT THEY ARE PAID HOURLY , as such the GOP doesn't consider them quite human. So the worker is the PAWN. It's not Trump. But he's supposed to be the best negotiator in the history of all negotiating! 😜

Trump urges wall funding to fix border 'crisis'WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump made a televised plea for border wall funding Tuesday night, seeking an edge in the shutdown battle with congressional Democrats as he declared there is 'a humanitarian crisis, a crisis of the heart and a crisis of the soul.' Addressing the nation from the Oval Office for the first time, Trump argued for funding on security and humanitarian grounds as he sought to put pressure on newly empowered Democrats amid an extended partial government shutdown. Trump called on Democrats to return to the White House to meet with him, saying it was 'immoral' for 'politicians to do nothing.' GOPShutdown Oh Nancy... So they can’t refute any of his facts. More proof that Democrats don’t care about American citizens and are putting illegals first.

The Health 202: Congress and Trump may actually take action in 2019 to lower drug pricesThe Trump administration's actions have won some grudging respect from Democrats. Good! Because environmental deregulation will be making Americans sicker! They should start with inhalers and epi-pens. My money says not. Pfizer is going to rent craptons of rooms at Trump hotels over the next few months amd then he'll suddenly spout some bullshit about Dems taking over grandma's insulin. The only way to lower drug prices is to allow competition, not eliminate it. Insurance companies force patients to use their own pharmacies. They are both the judge and the jury. Eliminate this conflict of interest. Allow competition. SaveThePharmacistSaveTheWorld
