How long will the shutdown last?

What other powers does a national emergency declaration give a President? Kind of nervous about what this might mean for checks and balances

Trump doesn’t accept compromise. He only accepts deals where he gets everything and they get nothing. He’s had deals before and he rejected them. He does t want compromise. Trump sucks at deal making.

No. He did not get a deal on this before.

Last year, 25 billion for the wall.

What the heck did he do with the 25 billion last year?

He turned it down.

So when Trump declares a national emergency over a boarder that has been in place since 1848 and that Congress hasn’t considered an emergency while Republicans were in control, will Fox News declare him President for life? Will he just declare national emergencies to do anything he wants?

I fear we are teetering on the edge of entering V for Vendetta territory here with dictator politicians.

Corrections officers from Florida have had to commute 400 miles to the site of the prison since then for two-week stints in their jobs. As of this week, the corrections officers are now doing so without being paid.

And most still solidly back Trump.

Bunch of deplorables:
““I voted for him, and he’s the one who’s doing this,” she said of Mr. Trump. “I thought he was going to do good things. He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting.””

The pending "crisis" is a test for our democracy. We are falling deeper into the abyss if this shutdown and a coming wall are the result.

Keep it shutdown!

It just so happens that a Russian oligarch has purchased the two largest mid western steel mills in Portland and Colorado Springs. Crickets from U.S. MSM about it as it pertains to the wall: https://www.reuters.com/article/russia-evraz-rails/russian-steelmaker-evraz-weighs-up-new-u-s-rail-mill-capex-soars-idUSL8N1WZ54E

I have little doubt this is why Trump is digging his heels in. He must please Putin at all costs.

I’m starting to think Trump wants all employees to be made essential so the entire government is running like normal but no one is being paid.

That would explain Trump's recent shift from concrete wall to steel wall!

Here’s a fact check —with facts not opinions — demonstrating that Mexico will not be paying for the wall. Despite trumps clear promise.

Well Trump to revert to his initial plan how Mexico would pay for the wall.

The key to the wall’s financing, Trump wrote in a two-page memo to the Washington Post, is threatening to halt money transfers from Mexican immigrants in the US to family back home. These remittances amount to nearly $25bn each year, roughly 2% of the Mexican gross domestic product, according to the World Bank. Cutting off these money transfers could doom the Mexican economy to recession and severely damage diplomatic relations.

That memo looks like it was written by an eighth grader.
