Extortion & the separation of power

[Wry Catcher]

EXTORTION, the practice of obtaining something, especially money, through force or threats.

Considering the flip flops Trump has made which Shut the Government Down, his efforts to force Democrats to give him Billions of Dollars to fulfill a campaign promise, it seems this machination is a high crime. A high crime which impacts nearly a million federal employees and repudiates the Constitution's genius, the Separation of Power.

Leaders seeks compromise, criminals make threats.

And the "leaders" in the Democratic Party are seeking what compromise?

Shutdowns are a tool to use agaist those who hijack the government for reasons contrary to the public good, like those who advocate open borders, non-enforcement of existing US immigration law, and facilitating crimes against Americans by illegals.

Extortion my ass.

If Chuck and Nancy want to negotiate on this, the time is now.

You might not like True Bipartisanship, but that's what we have here. Time for the Democrats to forget their promise to "resist" the Trumpster.

The CR and time to negotiate, of course. Trump's despotic inclinations, "my way or the highway" is unacceptable in our form of governance.

How much time would they like...2 weeks, 2 years or 20 years?

Nice fallacy. As if the border isn't already secure and a wall is the only way to "definitively" secure the border.

What's Trump offering the Dems for bailing him out on his promise? The only thing I've seen him offer Dems is the opportunity to not be saddled politically with a shutdown of Trump's own making. IOW, extortion.

Another fallacy.
Trump has had two years to broker this deal.
It's been his own majority that has failed to deliver time and again.

House Republicans’ bad faith push to pass immigration reform is dead

You're not very bright since you believe, "You might not like True Bipartisanship, but that's what we have here".

Trump used Extortion to get his way. In the U.S. that is not the way to get things done, and since Trump is not very bright too, he commits a law violation, to wit, Extortion.

While the Republican's in general in Congress abrogated their duty, some Republicans and some Democrats did not. The H. or Rep. and the Senate are an equal branch of government, and will not bow to the Executive; now that the H. or Rep. will become a check and balance on Trumpism, he will need to understand that compromise and bipartisanship is the only way to move forward.

Yet I'm betting you would support seeing Obama's "phone and pen" in the Smithsonian.

The border is protected, and has been for years.

If you paid attention, you would know the CR would have allowed until Feb for both sides to come to agreement. Trump is scared shitless - though he is still filled with bullshit He knows the art of the deal is compromise, and as an autocrat he cannot stand to not get his way.
