3. Further reflection - My guess is that he's about to cave.

But being a guess, it's just as likely he declares a (big N) National (big E) Emergency, or shoots someone one the street to prove how sacred and righteous he is to his idiot sheep.

But right now, with nothing else to go on, I'm giving it 3/2 he caves.

Let the government reopen.

It would be immediately challenged in court and almost certainly struck down. He could then blame the courts - and save face.

At this point it's all about saving face.

He is such a fucking one-track bore. Spare us more of lies, bullshit and hate-mongering. I am so sick of it all.

arriving in the eastern US tomorrow afternoon about the same time? I can guarantee, everyone's going to be paying more attention to winter storm Harper than to him.

Asked if @POTUS will use Saturday announcement to declare a national emergency to build a border wall, @PressSec says she won't get ahead of @POTUS. "I suggest everybody tune in." She says he's continuing to look for an end to the crises at the border.

I only saw the story up on Yahoo front page but I have not heard media coverage of it.
