    Guns might be more difficult than a wall. Gun ownership being an actual enumerated Constitutional right. Not to mention that the guys ordered to confiscate all the guns in America might have a little bit more difficult of a task than the guys who will build the wall.

    Climate Change might be able to gain some traction. But, it would cost a lot of the people that donate big money to big political campaigns a bit of stress and money. Political suicide might be the words used in the aftermath.

    I guess we'll find out in two years.

    I don't think you will have to wait that long. I think Trump declares National Emergency. Nancy has already said she will not negotiate the wall even he agrees to a deal for short term re-opening of the government. So Trump goes nuclear option and we get to see months of judicial wrangling before the Supreme Court lets him build the wall anyways.

    I hope an offer of permanent status for the Dreamers might be made in the interim, and be enough to bring Nancy back to table. She could get something out of this for those kids. 5 billion is peanuts compared to the national budget. Wall will be built regardless. 

    What do you think the Democrats should do first with their national emergency? 

    Guns or climate change?

    It was taking care of millions of people who were getting badly hurt by the Shutdown you created. 

    It's almost unbelievable how bad he is at this. Then you remember it's Donald Trump.

    Man, after the first week of returns coming through the door, these changes are an epic clusterfuck. The IRS is behind on guidance, the forms look ridiculous, if you own a partnership or rental real estate good luck on getting your return correct, etc. One positive is fee increases are going up substantially, so for those that pay someone to do your return go ahead and grab your ankles and get prepared.

    What's the problem with rental property? Will a CPA have trouble?

    No. He has no leverage. Comprehensive immigration reform and NO FUCKING WALL. Rub his nose in the pile of shit he deposited on the carpet.

    I get the impulse to punish him, but he'll just shut down the government again or declare a national emergency. That means no deal on DACA at all.

    I'd rather get permanent protection for the DREAMers. If he offers a permanent deal for those folks for wall money the Democrats will accept it.

    His base would lose its mind and scream amnesty, so it's probably an academic thought experiment anyway.

    just to make things run smoothly, should have worked something out long time ago.  Even now, maybe give 20% of a wall to start, work with it, after all it will create jobs as a side effect. It's just another big ass govt project. We waste $20-25bill on fighter jets all the times, so this really isn't a shit load of money. 

    Last January he was offered $25 billion for border security for making DACA permanent and giving those brought here as children a path to citizenship.

    He turned it down.

    This time he wanted money for the wall for nothing in return.

    The Democrats should now say that any money for the wall can only be had for passing and signing the DREAM Act.

    I do happen to agree very much with Brisket, because he's right on just about everything. 63,000,000 people voted for this fuckstick. That tells you where we are as a country. There are no signs, zero, that any of those idiots have learned anything. They still blame the democrats for everything and love their cheeto god. Like Captain Phillips, they're the captain now.

    He really is king of the dipshits.

    No idea why millenials are so angry, not like we're loaded down with an absurd level of debt that we were encouraged to take on by our parents, advisers, and society - while being blamed for the failure of american industry and society for not being able to spend enough money to keep the house of cards economy running. All while the personification of the caustic narcissism of the boomer generation is riding roughshod over the GOP and the constitution, while simultaneously the first "millennial" representatives are being targeted as whack jobs. No idea why millennials may be angry.

    You should be angry. You've been lied to your entire lives.
