    He is throwing Congress under the bus hard here ...

    Talking about Congress finally putting partisanship behind them.

    Of course he is, he's a grifting, lying piece of shit. But he still openly agreed to sign a clean CR, so please dear god above let it happen fast enough he can't change his mind.

    He's saying that there'll be a bipartisan congressional committee that'll review border security issues/reports from those "in the field" and then present Trump with a piece of border security legislation to sign off on?

    Dude is slurring bad.

    "Lawmrrkrz"

    He's talking about putting country before party, specifically how Democrats need to, which is just. Again. Get fucked, dude. That's fucking rich coming from you.

    I would hope he would have learned his lesson here and won't just shut it all down again in 3 weeks because he doesn't have a wall. Not going to hold my breath on that though.

    As expected, he's claiming he made a "deal". So he's trying to sell this as as win.

    My stream cut out, but is he even calling it a "clean CR" or anything to that effect? I'm guessing no.

    He really wants his wall, he isn’t going to get it though.

    Oh wow, now he’s saying we don’t need a continuous wall and that he never called for one.

    He's caving for 3 weeks. Probably longer from the stance he is giving here. Also looks like he is willing to accept anything going to the border, including previous funding levels, as a win.

    Meanwhile, Pelosi keeps sticking the shiv in:


    Pelosi, asked how Trump will handle backdown on reopening government without wall money, gestures toward her office decorations: “we could plant these flowers along the border and he’d say, ‘I got my wall.’ “

    John Harwood is a reporter for CNBC.

    She's been waiting for this. I'm just reminded of the original World of Cardboard speech.

    Interesting. Seems to already backing off his original concept of wall. Probably so he doesn't look like he folds again soon.

    I think he just said that walls keep out good people. "Smart walls."

    Made of steel, very important to be see-through, and equipped with cutting edge tech, including drones.

    "We do not need 2,000 miles of concrete wall from sea to shining sea. We never proposed that, we never wanted that, because we have natural structures that are already there."

    Down. To. A. T.

    Pelosi knows exactly what her strategy is, and Trump can’t have one for more than five minutes after someone says something that sets him off. I expect there’ll be ever increasing extensions under the guise of “negotiations” and “big wins!” and so on until his term ends.

    It’s almost as though Pelosi has two generations of experience dealing with cranky petulant children.

    I believe a House Dem earlier this week suggested they could look at a "Smart Wall" (not a physical barrier, just an increase in surveillance tech to make sure our thinly spread border patrol knows how many people they can't actually stop) as an alternative.

    Claiming now that women are brought into the country, completely duct-taped up, even to to the point that they can't breathe (presumably, they all die?).

    And that they never come through ports of entry, because then someone would see 4 women in a car.

    It's good to know that when you're trying to sneak into the country you can turn both right and left. You can tell he's really done his research on how coyotes work.
