[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At this point, Speaker Pelosi’s only agenda is to thwart and embarrass the President. She does not care one iota about furloughed federal workers. She is a disgrace![/quote]

Please explain to us how the President shows he cares about furloughed federal workers. Pelosi and the House have passed several funding bills. Why won't Trump sign them?[/quote]

Just yesterday, he offered to provide added certainty to desperate Dreamers (who could lose their protections any day when the Supreme Court rules on their very precarious situation), along with holders of TPS, while at the same time securing our border and allowing furloughed federal workers to return to work. Yet Speaker Pelosi rejected that offer even before it was made. So she has let down the Dreamers, the holders of TPS, federal workers, and Americans in general, and for what? Just to stick it to the President. How petty![/quote]

So Trump gave back less than he took away for DACA and TPS - and since DACA/TPS folks are winning in the courts, it's really pointless. Securing the border? If that was really his priority, Trump would be spending the money that's already been allocated.

The Dems aren't going to give in to Trump's extortion because then he'll just keep shutting down the government to get his way. It's not to "stick it to the President" - it's to preserve our system of government.

Again with the "extortion"! FFS, he's asking for money to discourage illegal aliens. To hear you talk, he's "extorting" money for his personal gain!

We need to stop these endless caravans of functionally illiterate people unable to support their families, who cram in 15 to a house or 8 to an apartment. Let's go with what the Border Patrol Commisioner said, and build a wall where the illegals tend to break in.[/quote]
He has made "the wall" into a partisan issue.  It didn't have to be.  He actually had a deal in February, but he reneged under pressure from the right.  Now it's a wall, only a wall, and  nothing but a wall, but he'll "compromise" and call it a steel slat barrier.

This is like negotiating with a kid who won't leave the grocery store without a candy bar.  It doesn't work.[/quote]
