Trump Threatens to Shutdown Government if No $ for his Border Wall

[Anonymous]

Why do Schumer and Pelosi offer $1.3 billion for the wall? What do they care if the government is shutdown under the republican house/senate/presidency? I am so confused.

The irony is that DHS will run out of funding first. Does that include ICE?

Hint: Government shutdown does not hurt Trump, his millionaire friends, or mar-a-lago members, it hurts many regular folks.

There won’t be a Christmas shutdown, because Trump doesn’t want a wall badly enough to stick around DC for Christmas.

And if they pass another CR, then they will have to get funding through a Dem House in January.

Trump will pass what Dems tell him they will pass because he doesn’t have the self discipline to follow through.

You must not be paying attention if you think anything will stop the president from doing what he wants. If he wants to go to FL, he will while the rest of the chumps in Congress hang around.

This President doesn’t care about optics.

Also I think they have passed some appropriation bills so they could keep the departments they like open and close the ones they don't like. It sucks if you are a federal worker in EPA or DOJ or State or whichever agency is out of favor with the Hannity et al crowd.

They know that if they do, the Democrats will make it all about racism - and use it as scare tactics for the 2020 election. Just look at how this forum reacts to comolaints about illegal immigration.

I can't beleive how twisted Democrats have become. If we want to protect our country against an unending stream of poor, unskilled, barely literate foreigners who arrive here in violation of our laws and will lower the overall caliber of our society, we're considered the bad ones. That's because liberals see inequality as the root of all evil, and want the U.S. to come down toward the level of 3rd world countries. It was Obama's vision for world peace.

You nailed it.
He hates certain group of the US electorate.
He sent very clear message when he chose an artist to paint his portrait.
When Dems will destroy this group the US will become a 3rd world country.

It's the twisted Democrats that voted into office a guy who said Mexico would pay for the wall.

Most people knew that wasn't true. But we need strong action against illegal immigrants,

There is more than one way to pay for the wall.
Let's wait and see.

Do you still think Mexico is going to pay for it?

Screw him. He gets nothing.

If he wants money, he needs to offer us something really good ... like maybe resignation. Better yet, if he wants it, let him pay for it himself. Asshole.

So you make up some fake source of funding and repeat it over and over again as if you believe it's true? Boy, that sure is some "strong" action!

I want to know why Mexico isn't paying for the wall. Wasn't that a central campaign promise?

Because Trump doesn’t have the power to make them do anything. The bigger question is why republicans are considering paying for this boondoggle of a wall when Trump promised it would be free.

D’sare threatening filibuster. But you’re right, McConnell should change the rule and get things done.

Changing the rule won’t save McConnell come January because Dems have the House. Of Dems take the Senate in 2020, he doesn’t want that prescedent.

And changing the rule for one vote, on a wall no one wants but Trump, is stupid.

+1. There really isn’t. The bills say no wall with the money.
