GOP will meet with Trump to work things out.

This is completely insane.


I agree, not securing our borders is completely insane. Time to get this done. Enough with the political games. You have fence around your property (that includes the Pope, so sick of his comments), we want a fence around our country. You don't open your door to let strangers in, we shouldn't do the same at our borders.

Folks like Mimi Walters, Jeff Denham, Mia Love, Diane Black are a pretty long plane ride away if they need Rs on this wall funding bill...”

Breaking News: A deal to avert a shutdown is teetering after a White House statement saying, "the president does not want to go further without border security."

#$&@

If he goes to Florida when the government is shut down, I hope he is immediately impeached in January.

I think Trump has folded. No one wants this fight at holiday time. Even our golf and Florida loving President.

In a swift reversal, the White House on Tuesday dropped its demand that a government funding measure include $5 billion for President Trump's wall on the Mexican border.

Trump's concession paves the way for lawmakers to reach a compromise and end the Congress without a partial government shutdown. It also raises questions over whether Trump will ever get full funding for his wall now that Democrats are poised to take control of the House in a few weeks.

Republican and Democratic leaders still need to iron out the details of a possible deal, but the biggest wild card in the debate, Trump, appears to have taken a shutdown off the table.

Still, the walk-back is a stunning blow to the White House and Republicans, who stared down and out-maneuvered Democrats in a three-day shutdown in January. This time around, Republicans caved.

Does Sanders knownthat taxpayers fund government agencies?

LOL .. no, Trump can't tell the difference, just like he can't tell the difference between his personal bank account and the Trump Foundation.


Seriously, wtf does that even mean when they get alternate source of funding.

He means "other agencies", so "rob peter to pay paul". But, the hilarious (sad) thing about the statement is clearly that no matter what agency he gets the money from, it's still taxpayer money. But, I'm sure Trumpsters will believe that they (and the rest of us), the taxpayers, aren't paying for the wall.


Unbelievable. Of course if they get the $ from government agencies for the wall, the taxpayers are paying for the wall. Unpresidented.
