Hoping for the best but I suspect Nancy and Chuck have him fitted for a gimp suit and are getting ready to chain him to their bed.

I hope he declares a state of emergency, has the military build the wall, and keeps the government shut down.

I don’t like that idea at all. When the next democrat gets in office what will there be to stop the from declaring an emergency on climate change and banning cars or just taxing the fuck out of gas so people can’t afford to drive? It would set a dangerous precedent that could easily come back and bite us in the ass.

Precedent? That's silly. They've done it time and again. THEY'VE set the precedent and we shouldn't do it when we can? BS.

What's to stop them anyway? If they're able to do it, they'll do it. Trump will just get to answer that question first.

Monday will mark the 30th day of the shutdown, the RIF becomes available at that time. Maybe it's some sort of threat related to that? Maybe he's giving 60 days notice that he's using this to build the wall?

I've been following that, too. Ethnarch has been tracking mentions of it on his Twitter page. Surprised it hasn't been a bigger story.

He should offer deal for immigration reform without wall. Ask for immediate deportation without hearing of immigrants not covered under DACA, end to lottery, end chain migration, more border patrol and ICE agents, and technology money for border in exchange for DACA. All reasonable request considering the huge caravans. Then afterward he can have army corps build wall through military budget. But today he should lay off all non essential Federal employees .
