So what makes this Trump Wall Emergency different?

@JoeyFoxx True...the Justice situation was delayed.....but I believe that how Politics has worked in the past.

Acording to this, Obama's Congress was NOT the least Productive Congress....
http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/01/25/a-productivity-scorecard-for-115th-congress/
...states that "
only one Congress has chalked up a lower share of substantive legislation than the just-ended 115th. That was the 110th, held after Democrats retook the House and Senate in the 2006 midterms during Republican George W. Bush’s final two years as president. Only 64% of the laws enacted by that Congress were substantive, by our reckoning.

It's not hard to keep up with it, so long as you read the facts and ignore the nonsense.

@river52 gotta run......nice chatting with you.

@river52 Go read the story about Congress again... and pay attention to the details.

What it says is that the current Congress has been MORE productive, including substantive bills and that, in fact, the congress from the 112th to the 114th (with Obama) were, IN FACT, the least productive in terms of actual substantive legislation. Don't only look at the share, look at the numbers.

As for the SC... it's a mess that both sides have created. The Democrats are as guilty as the Republicans. But that doesn't make it ok.

I am noting however that you are comfortable no longer talking about the relevance of the wall. It's a red herring conversation that frankly, has NOTHING to do with border security and everything to do with grandstanding.

@JessBalance It could be happening as we speak. But there is money to work with now, without this. I think its about the noise and colour and movement myself.

Well, I have hope we will learn from our lessons and move forward in a positive manner. That's all we can do ... and vote often.

@toodlepip Never miss a chance to vote. Even if its against someone or something.

@MistyCee With the red cap wearers certainly.. With the Republican party officials. Maybe not so much. They have to think beyond the next election.

@whowasthatmaskedman Yeah, they're squirming, but they'd be squirming right about now anyway, and pushing the issue may keep them loyal in the short term and behind him in 2020.

@JessBalance you're a couple hours behind....I think he did this this morning...

@river52 I saw an online headline that said he he HAD but the article under the headline only said he promised to.
