Good god, did Ann Coulter come on to The Donald and get shut down? 

 

This is her scthick, and it's nothing more than a schtick. She hasn't been this schticky since she pushed for Chris Christie before she hated Chris Christie before she loved Trump before she hated Trump.

The bipartisan homeland security spending bill released early Thursday pushes back on aspects of President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown — even while providing $1.4 billion for border barriers and nearly 5,000 additional beds to detain undocumented immigrants.

Tucked into the 1,159-page bill are provisions that limit Trump’s ability to round up undocumented immigrants and that increase oversight of the officers who carry out those sweeps. On the border, restrictions on barrier construction will bar the administration from erecting fences on several large properties in South Texas, including a butterfly sanctuary and a historic Catholic church.

 

The bill ignores the Trump administration’s request to fund 750 additional Border Patrol agents, according to a Democratic summary of the measure and a joint explanatory statement. Additionally, it ignores the administration’s request for 2,000 more Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.

The national emergency is a mistake — whether justified by the current statute or not.  Comparing it to (and justifying it by) other, prior questionable emergencies is wrong. You can’t complain about executive overreach practiced by other Executives and then continue to overreach.  Border issues, trafficking, drug smuggling, and security is a big problem but not an emergency. The only thing I hope for now is that Congress is so pissed off that they try to repeal the law so it can’t be abused in the future.

 

Trump should know by now that Republicans don’t really have his back and never will. He should have seen last year that by delaying the issue until after the midterms wasn’t going to get him his wall. He opened his fat trap before the shutdown and then screwed up by backing off the shutdown and allowing the three week extension. Then he let “his” party try to negotiate the financing for him and they failed yet again (doesn’t look like they tried very hard). Major ***** up by the President.
