The House, with its new Democratic majority, passed two bills on Thursday night to reopen the government — one major spending bill to fund most shuttered departments and agencies through Sept. 30 and a stop-gap measure to restart the Department of Homeland Security for a few weeks — without funding for a border wall.

The measures are likely to go nowhere for now, but they will raise pressure on Republicans to come to the negotiating table. Senators Cory Gardner of Colorado and Susan Collins of Maine, two of the most endangered Republicans up for re-election in 2020, said they want a vote.

Why are we feeding kids breakfast at school. We had lunch, but now breakfast and lunch is the new standard? Well, who is paying for that?

We have 300,000 illegal aliens jumping the border to the south every year. That's NOT free; there are costs associated with that bad behavior, much more than several billion to build the wall where it's needed.

These are apprehensions:

We feed kids breakfast at school because they are hungry you nitwit. And hungry kids don’t learn as well as they should.

Would you like to read some resources about hunger in America and what can be done about it?

Wow - pretty amazing how much illegal immigration has slowed down over the last 10-15 years.

Depends on how soon the Dems decide to approve $5 billion for the wall. I don’t see the President backing down. So I guess anywhere from one day to six years, assuming he gets a second term.


He has folded on pretty much everything else. Why not this?


Actually, he won last year’s shutdown crisis over DACA. No reason to believe he won’t win again. I think he realizes that shutdowns are one of his most effective tools.


Huh?

How did he win?

DACA receipients still have protection provided through court ruling and he does not have the $25B Chuck Schumer was willing to offer. That’s in my book is called not winning!


Right. The Dreamers have temporary protection via court order, not a permanent legislative fix. The Senate Democrats insisted on a legislative solution during last year’s shutdown, but then eventually folded. So the President won that round.

How did Trump win? He gave up 25 billion and is now begging for 5 billion or less.


Rome wasn’t built in a day. $5 billion is a great start. Assuming he will be in office six more years (we shall see), it will be fully funded. He will of course campaign on it again next year, which is all the more reason he can’t afford to (and won’t) lose this fight.

Are you obtuse? He gave up 5 times more money than he is scrounging for now. Why?
Is he again going to campaign on Mexico paying for the wall? It takes a special kind of stupid to be a Trump supporter.


Actually you're a little obtuse.

1. The 25B number D's are throwing around was an appropriation, not a penny of it funded. He didn't walk away from anything, it was an empty envelope.

2. DACA was found unconstitutional. It's still in place only under a temporary stay. Keep holding your breath.

3. Mexican's currently remit 50M per year to mexico. DT has the authority to put a tax on that (say 10%) and fully fund the wall.


I think you need to do the math of a 10% tax on 50M per year.

Ha ha. Yes, let's see. That's 5M per year. It will only take a thousand years to get to 5 billion dollars! That doesn't include the wall maintenance.

False. With the GoFundMe money they’re raising, they’ll have it covered in fewer than 700 years.

She’s never posted in a political message board in her life.

What the everlovkng f!ck did SHE do to deserve this stress? While you sneer, SHE is working for actual homeland security.
