Trump did not specifically cite the prospects of another shutdown or an emergency declaration, but told Republicans "I’ve got you covered" because the "wall is already being built, I don’t expect much help!"

Well good, that means there is no need for another government shutdown and the one Trump just did for over 30 days he admits was worthless.
Trump is back to a 'wall' not a fence - not a barrier - but the original concept of a big beautiful concrete wall. I just listened to him taking question from the press. He stated that he's not going to accept a 'fence', it's going to be a wall and he doesn't even need Congress to do it. He also stated; "the wall is already being built although nobody is reporting it, but that's okay, it's being built right now."
I have a distinct feeling he's going to announce a state of emergency during his SOTU address, and use the military funding plus order troops to the border to help build it.

President Trump says Republicans 'wasting their time' on border security talks
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump expressed skepticism Thursday that a congressional committee will agree to his demands for a border wall, raising the specters of another government shutdown or an "emergency declaration" sure to be challenged in court.
Tweeting that "Republicans on the Homeland Security Committee are wasting their time," Trump said that "Democrats, despite all of the evidence, proof and Caravans coming, are not going to give money to build the DESPERATELY needed WALL."

The thing is, he made it clear that he doesn't need Congress to agree to any border wall or border security and that he has the power to simply declare a national emergency, pillage the military budgeted funds and proceed with a cement wall. This is what a tyrant or dictator does. Congress is 1/3 of the power of U.S. government and he is vastly misusing his power as president if he goes ahead with something like that.
This was from a CNN article dated August 2017.
"A special White House panel led by New Jersey Republican Gov. Chris Christie recommended that Trump make an emergency declaration on opioids. A statement from the White House in August said Trump has "instructed his Administration to use all appropriate emergency and other authorities to respond to the crisis caused by the opioid epidemic."
Chris Christie has been making the rounds on cable networks pandering his new book and I'm 100% positive he has recycled this reason for Trump to declare a national emergency.
Trump is free to try and as soon as he does this will be brought before courts. While Trump has the power to declare a National Emergency, he has demonstrated that he does so ONLY to by-pass congress and that it isn't really a National Emergency. You don't wait two YEARS with a Republican congress and Republican president, then wait weeks after a Dem house takes over and do a government shutdown for something that is a National Emergency.

I agree. I think he's done farting around with opposition in Congress. He's just going to build the wall.

Yes, he should pay for it himself.
It appears this is what prompted this latest stuff from Trump:
For those of you who don't know...this is "Normandy fencing":
View attachment 67249333
So...this is the kind of barrier/wall/fencing/whateveryoucallit that Pelosi is okay with?
Yeah...Trump should tell her to piss up a rope.

And he keeps saying we are currently working on building the wall and he's let contracts out for more wall to be built. So why the shutdown?
By your logic 2/3rds of the government want the wall and the house is standing in the way of DEMOCRACYThe thing is, he made it clear that he doesn't need Congress to agree to any border wall or border security and that he has the power to simply declare a national emergency, pillage the military budgeted funds and proceed with a cement wall.

Why a 9th circuit judge, why not convince a 6th circuit judge?It was a crisis in 2017 and 2018 when republicans had control of both houses and could have done it then. But republicans in Congress didn't give 2 figs for his wall, they wanted tax cuts and supreme court appointees. They got those and now they're only half-heartedly behind him on the wall. Now he's going to have to convince a federal judge in the 9th circuit that in 2019 suddenly the crisis has become a national emergency.
Dumbest post of the threadYes, he should pay for it himself.

Its interesting that you presume it will be challenged in the most liberal circuit court and offered no criticism of that.It could be the 6th or any federal court for that matter, it depends on which state challenges his decision to call a national emergency. It could be the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Whichever federal court it will be, it will definitely be challenged.
