2. We must move on past him to the GOP in Congress

I posted something along these lines a day or 2 ago. It will last until the Dems cave or we can convince the GOP in Congress to override the veto.

4. The Republicans in Congress will eventually cave
Fri Jan 4, 2019, 02:47 PM
Jan 2019

A few weeks is manageable, after that, stuff really starts to go haywire - people can't get passports, they won't get their tax refunds, businesses can't get federal permits they need, state and local government starts to have problems... People will be calling their Senators saying and saying "screw the wall, I need my refund!"

3. Win win for his boss, Putin. His fans love it too, his fans hate working people other

than themselves.

His fans are idiots who hate POC far more than they fear or hate people like putin. In fact putin being the white racist he is, they like him.

Civil unrest may be inevitable if 40% of our country are outright traitors. Hope not, but I dont know how else this is resolved.

With both houses of Congress approving a budget by a veto-proof majority, and hitting Trump with a veto-override.

10. Keep on it: Trump's shutdown
Fri Jan 4, 2019, 02:54 PM
Jan 2019

And as the ripple effect goes out (Fox is striving mightily to claim that the shutdown ain't no thang), make sure people are told that their hardships are directly due to Trump's failure to act. Trump is hurting America by shutting down the government. Trump is hurting America, which is what Putin wants. Trump is alienating our allies and breaking our nation's promises to them. It's Trump's fault. All of it.

11. Congress must Impeach Trump to save the country before he destroys it.

Impeachment is their Constitutional duty. With Trump's latest statement, they are out of excuses. There is no need to wait for Mueller's report, no more angst about polling, every member of Congress knows by now they must act.
