I’m really nervous he’s about to call for the national emergency. And then what? The GOP are spineless. Will they reopen the government? Does it stay closed? Obviously this would end up in the courts. I am too. When I first heard it I just thought he was talking his normal nonsense. But with his demand to go on prime time I'm certain that's what he'll do. And yes what is next?

I know some of my coworkers did that during the 2013 shutdown. They ended I believe having to repay it once it was determined the government was going to backpay and reopened. But it’s really nice that it’s there because going without a paycheck is not feasible. I’m glad MN allows it. She’s not working, so no repayment necessary I think. It will have to be repaid if she receives back pay after the shutdown is over.

That's great. But we need the big three to do it too.

This is so maddening. I feel like we are just moving forward towards being led by a dictator and having state media. Ugh. Where are the adults??
Mueller??

I’ve read that in this situation, repayment is generally required- WaPo had a story breaking it down the other day. But of course everything varies by state.

*Screams into the void*
I’ve seen some stories popping up about the irreversible impact that the wall will have on the environment. Fuck the wall.

I can't imagine "national emergency " holding up in Court when border crossings are so much lower than in past years but, Article II is a fickle thing

Morning All!
I heard that the Cheeto is going to do a PrimeTime appearance tonight to beg for money for a border wall. I wouldn't be surprised if he tosses the GoFundMe link on the screen. Anyone else think its going to be an abridged episode of The Apprentice?
Think about it he complains about stuff, cries like a baby, and then someone else in his cabinet will resign or be "fired".
Good thing Comedy Central or Discovery aren't network television. I predict the least watched address of any president during the age of TV.

Apparently Pence is on the circuit this morning spewing the same shit SHS was?
CNN briefly touched on it this morning. As he did not opt to make an appearance with Alison & John.

There are a bunch of endemic desert species that it threatens. It’s going to splinter already vulnerable populations and hinder migration movements. Construction will also disrupt habitats, lead to increased erosion, and introduce non-native species to ecosystem. Of course, Trump and the GOP don’t give a fuck. Fuck the wall and the GOP. 😡

That's great. But we need the big three to do it too. CBS, Fox, and NBC have committed. ABC hasn't announced, but if the other three are, I can't imagine they won't. Still no announcement on who is speaking for the Dems.
