Our voters can bear a shutdown because we actually live below our means. Yours rely on handouts and EITC.

Good luck!


Dear Leader publicly took the credit, on camera. We'll run the videotape over and over again, as long as this goes on.

Is that so bad? It shows that Trump is putting the interests of American citizens ahead of illegal aliens. As he should.

We need the wall.


Americans aren't interested in paying for Trump's wall. He specifically said Mexico would pay for it. This is a campaign promise that simply can't be fulfilled regardless of what may be built on the border.
If he had mentioned that his proposed wall would be paid for via taxes, he would have never received the nomination let alone win the presidency. It's just more fraud from a lifelong huckster.


+1
I don't want my hard-earned tax money going towards a stupid wall that doesn't actually address the issues with illegal immigration. I would support my money going towards prosecuting employers who hire undocumented people. I'd also support programs that help Central Americans in their own country (education, birth control, trade programs, etc.). If we lift up our neighbors we are all better off.



You know these countries already receive aid, right? What are they doing with it now, hmmm?

Yup. Liberals are so delusional: "let's give more money to poor people to lift them up." More like, let's send our hard-earned money to corrupt leaders.


Correct. They are all about the 'feels' until it's an American that's harmed. Then it's "well, it could have been an American that killed her", etc.

So sick of it. So sick of the hysterical outcries - OMG, WWIII, RUSSIANS CONTROL US, etc. They can't even decide what sex they are, while telling us they believe in science. They claim we abuse children while lauding the parents of an 11 year old transgendered child who dances in a local club for money as being 'so open minded'. They ignore that Obama literally handed illegal children over to sex traffickers due to his lack of oversight.

I hope the nuclear option is used, and I'm glad Trump LISTENS to his voters.


I hope they use it too. I mean, it sure worked well for the midterms. Go ahead. Shut down the government at Christmas for a wall he promised Mexico will pay for.


All Dems have to do is sign and no shutdown. But they won't. So yep, tell Americans at Christmastime that they are less important than illegal aliens. Enjoy.


Nope. The voters said they don't want to waste money on the wall. They are listening to the American people.

And Donald Trump already said it's his shutdown anyway. Sorry.


I agree. Democrats don't want a wall. They prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens. We know this already.

Seems to me that Trump has the Rs behind him in the house. The government doesn't have to shut down. Again, Chuck and Nancy are supporting their voters, who are prioritizing illegal immigrants over American citizens.


I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down-Donald Trump


And he certainly turned the tables on Chuck and Nancy. He has taken the mantle and IS willing to shut it down. He called their bluff and they now own the results.


Come again?


40-dimensional chess.


Trump isn't capable of playing Candyland. He's had a majority in both houses of Congress for two years and hasn't got any wall funding. He's a loser and an incompetent leader.

Yes, this. Why didn't Congress fund the wall ages ago? And now you're trying to blame Democrats who've been in the minority for two years? This is just red meat for the base and a distraction from Mattis resignation, the 17 investigations into the Trump family, and the s--tshow that is the adminstration. "Acting" Chief of Staff, etc.

Why do liberals expect a physical big check like on PCH? It's a weird obsession. Better trade deals, less taxpayer dollars going into funding illegal immigrants ARE the 'big check'.

Think of it this way - if you don't have enough food money, you might cut back on your cable charges and other expenses in order to allocate more money for food to your budget.


What does that have to do with Trump telling the American public 1000 times that Mexico was going to pay for the wall, only to shut down the government because he lied?

Better trade deals? Specifics, please. Where is the 5 billion dollars coming from? Which Mexico trade deals?

Two years in the minority? May want to check your math there.

Couldn't answer the question, eh? Let me rephrase it so you understand.
Dear Leader campaigned on the boast that Mexico would pay for the wall. Why isn't he keeping his campaign promise?

During Trump admin, obvs. If it was a priority, Repubs would have funded it so Trump could sign it. They ran up the deficit like crazy for corporate tax cuts.

Exactly, they got tax cuts passed without Democrats voting for it. They could have got his 5 billion in wall funding. Or he could have negotiated and got 1 billion a year and given other people some of what they want for the last two years and he could be on his third billion this year. He's bad at politics. He's a bad leader. He doesn't know how to negotiate or compromise. He thinks it's his way or the highway. He isn't a dictator and wants to behave like the nation is a dictatorship. He could have got his wall funding and now it's too late, he's going to have to negotiate with the Democrats so he's throwing a temper tantrum.

+1 The GOP prioritized tax cuts for billionaires over wall funding. Neither are good things, but they could have pushed it through if they wanted to. But they didn't because the wall is a waste of money.

trump just wants the government shut down. The wall is just so outrageous he knew it would never happen. Closing down the government creates more chaos.

You sound like a crazy person. "Border security" funding, which Democrats have offered MULTIPLE times, does not have to be a stupid WALL to be effective. You are out of step with what the majority of Americans want. Solutions - yes. Vanity wall for Trump - no.


Here's the problem - after screwing over Reagan, NO ONE TRUSTS WHAT DEMOCRATS SAY.

How about you put an armed guard on your home, rather than lock your doors. Then we'll talk.


Uh, Reagan?


Someone broke into the computers in the dementia wing.
