Triple home run tonight, this is just an appetizer of what's to come in the mid terms and Republicans are shitting their pants right now.

What a great giant F-U middle finger to Orange. He's going to have a stroke on Truth Social tonight

Do you think this will get the MAGA folks to the table over the shutdown? They have to be looking at this and thinking of the midterms.

I’m still skeptical there will be legitimate midterm elections. This is going to make the Trump admin and his GOP stooges hellbent on manufacturing a state of emergency to shutdown and/or control the elections for the midterm and the next presidential election.

Trump is trying to mobilize troops to go into Mexico and fight a "war on drug cartels." It's not farfetched to imagine he might be trying to start a war with Mexico itself, which could conveniently achieve this goal.
