Border Crisis and Continued Government Shutdown

Earlier this week, Our Grand Nagus addressed the nation on border security, making his case to fund The Wall.

Of course, Schumer and Pelosi made a televised counter-speech, which became instant meme-fodder.  Townhall determined two of the most popular memes.

The day after the dueling speeches, Trump met with Chuck & Nancy for a few minutes--literally.

So we remain at an impasse both on border security and the government shutdown.

Meanwhile, the non-FOX News media sided with Chuck & Nancy claiming the border crisis is "fake news." However, even the WaPo concedes there is, in fact, a crisis along the border.

Despite this concession, most of the media is throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks.

Several conservative commentators were relieved Our Grand Nagus didn't declare a state of emergency.  (See Guy Benson's Good, Bad & Ugly about the stalemate).

Of course, Dimocrats and the snowflake minions have flipped-out over the notion.

However, according to at least one law professor, Trump the Usurper does have the power to declare a national emergency--thanks in large part due to Democrats acquiescing power to the Executive Branch over the years.

Chuck & Nancy's lies about the border may have been detrimental to their cause:  Population Replacement. 

But it's not just Dimocrats, left-wing media, and assorted SJWs.  Plenty of RINOs don't want the wall either.

In other words, lots of folks in "The Swamp" fear a change in the status quo.
