[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

This.  She is wealthy and doesn’t give a fig except sticking it to Trump.

It is appalling that members of Congress and their lame staff get paid.[/quote]

+1. I cannot believe that the Dems have the gall to adjourn the House, not to mention leave Washington altogether, while the shutdown crisis remains unresolved. They should be in Washington, negotiating around the clock. Say what you will, but the President was in Washington on Christmas Day, New Year’s, and this holiday weekend ready to talk. Where have Chuck and Nancy been? Hawaii, San Francisco, New York, and everywhere but at their posts. I hope furloughed feds are taking notice![/quote]
Where's Mitch, honey? [/quote]

Look, Mitch IS NOT BRINGING ANY BILL TO THE FLOOR FOR A VOTE WITHOUT THE WALL FUNDING.

Trump is playing hardball and made starting offer on DACA, against wishes of his conservative base.  Are the Dems just going to keep asking “Where’sMitch?”  “Where’s Mitch?” Like a bunch of preschoolers?  What are the Dems going to offer up, except whine all day about how Trump is so unfair?  They don’t know how to negotiate.

Why would they give $5.7 billions for a temporary extension of DACA, when DACA is already tied up in the courts so dreamers aren't being deported for now anyway?  Trump isn't offering amnesty or a permanent solution, why should Dems agree to that?  You were fine when Trump refused to sign a bill that unanimously passed the Senate (and the White House had agreed to)  because Rush and Ann Coulter said no.  Why are you so outraged that the Dems are sticking to no wall just like he's sticking to there must be funding for the wall.  [/quote]
DP. Dems are acting as if $5 billion for the wall is such a horrible thing that they need to extract more in "return" for it. In what universe it a bad to approve a relatively small amount for a barrier so that we can deter illegal aliens? [/quote]

You do realize that the $5 billion is only for a fifth of the wall and that if they cave on this he'll keep
holding important things hostage in order to get the other $20 billion, right?[/quote]
I know that's what YOU think, because you consider govt workers hostages.

if anything, the Dems are keeping the govt closed because they won't OK $5 billion to help deter illegals. What Bizzaro World is this? They are so intent on rolling out the red carpet for illegals that they'd rather see govt workers go without pay than make it hard for illegals.

And where is Pelos's counteroffer? I haven't seen it. She said NO to Trump's olive branch before he even stated it. PPs who have said that public sentiment will turn against the Dems if she doesn't make a counteroffer are correct. [/quote]

No comment on the fact that $5 billion is just the first installment?  That there's another $20 billion ask coming down the pike?  [/quote]
