The best of both worlds. It apears Trump is going to sign off on the border deal - and then also declare a border emergency and see where that takes us...

White House says Trump will sign spending bill to avoid shutdown but will declare border emergency TOO – as Pelosi warns GOP a future Democratic president could use the same tactic to impose gun control

--President's approval is required to avoid another government shutdown
--Trump said he was 'not happy' with the compromise
--The White House said Thursday Trump 'will sign the government funding bill'
--But at the same time he will declare a national emergency to build the wall
--The move would almost certainly draw a legal challenge from activists
--Pelosi didn't rule out legal action to block the move
--She warned Republicans of the precedent it could set for the future
--Rep. James C. Clyburn of South Carolina said he's 'sure' it will pass the House
--Deal must be signed into law by midnight Friday to avoid another shutdown
--Senate adopted the measure by a vote of 83-16
--House was set to vote Thursday evening on $328 billion package

President Donald Trump will sign a bipartisan spending deal – but will declare a 'national emergency' in an effort to procure funds to build a border wall, the White House said Thursday.

The move drew both statements of relief from lawmakers who wanted to avoid another government shutdown – and a threat from Speaker Nancy Pelosi over the emergency declaration.

Pelosi called it an 'end-run around the will of the people,' speaking to reporters minutes after news of Trump's position broke, while warning it could come back to bite Republicans.

'We will review our options, we'll be prepared to respond appropriately to it,' Pelosi said, asked about Trump's planned emergency declaration.

I am thinking that, after the Senate Intelligence Committee declaring that there was no Russian Collusion and knowing that they’ve been outfoxed by Trump, Chuck and Nancy are going to be drinking very heavily this weekend.

I am convinced they drink heavily anyway... and not just on weekends.
