    Congress can override him. Did you think Trump have dictatorial power or something?? Trump should stop wasting time and start negotiating for the money for the wall like he said they would.

    And both houses can override Trump but the republicans won't because they are a bunch of obstructionists.

    They're not. The claims he makes - Middle Easterners in the caravans, recent arrests of terrorists at the southern border, all BS.

    Oh, you mean like not protecting our border by giving the Border Patrol what they ask for?

    Are you talking about the time Obama shut down the government till he got Obamacare? Or the time Clinton shut it down because the GOP was cutting spending? You can blame every other time on GOP, it doesn't matter, your opinions don't matter to me. Both sides are responsible for shutdowns, everyone, because both sides don't want to be seen as capitulating to the other. I however, love the shutdown and want it to be closed even more. And I don't want the wall, so calling me a "trumpster" is a typical NPC response. And If this posts gets deleted cause I said "NPC response", the post I am responding to must also be deleted.

    ???? The CBP is well aware of the convenient lies Trump spews 24/7. He is likely over 8000 public lies since the Russians interfered in the 2016 election to get Trump elected.

    This is so simple! Congress has not delivered a bill that the President will sign or a bill that can be over-ridden. Why vote on it? Do your job Congress and negotiate or keep the government closed forever.

    Its everyones "fault". I liked Ben Shapiros suggestion in that they should just give border control agency a one time $5.2 billion boost in funding and let them determine what to do with the money. The agency will get the charge of spending it on a wall if that's what they feel is best for them.

    Your reply is just an opinion, as you provided nothing to refute the information a Federal Government Agency has reported.

    Try again.

    As to the subjective "lies" tally the left's MSM partners like to keep, who is fact checking their fiction?

    Don't think Trump would go for that..... he doesn't want genuine border security... he wants to fulfill his campaign promise... 2 separate things..

    But I like it myself...

    Well, as I will always say, I am against the wall. And I have always thought Trump is a moderate Democrat calling himself a republican. But never the less, a wall is "genuine border security" since ever where there is a wall, less illegals are coming through that area.

    Taking everything out of context again, huh? Fact is walls/barriers do work. Only the leftness argues that it won't keep out a 100%.

    But they cannot deny reality as to how it keeps out a majority.

    Without the walls and fencing we have now there would be twice as many problems.

    Limiting the problems is fact that the leftness forgets, on purpose.

    Lets not forget, these are the same people that push for single payer systems for health care, which wont lower deaths in America. Everyone will die. And America already has the longest life expectancy in the world barring deaths by traumatic accidents and murder. If we took the left's approach to why we shouldn't build a wall, because they believe it wont be 100% effective, then we should apply that idea to every single other thing the government does. From wars in foreign lands, to spending money on global warming research and welfare expenses. Not a single thing has worked 100%, and in most cases, government intervention has worked in the opposite direction. The left are the people who still prop up government funding for the postal service even though it loses billions ever year. The left keeps funding Amtrak even though it loses Billions every year.

    Good for McConnell. The Deviate Democrats were given a chance to negotiate. They wouldn't. No sense in wasting anytime on a bill that the President won't sign.

    Funny how you forgot Harry Reid doing the same when the Demos didn't care about governing. Plus why should the country put up with more Demo failure. As that is all they bring to the country.

    Cmon now.....the left thought it was okay to waste 300 billion on Climate Change. Yes 70 some billion every year on Amtrak.

    The left and their Democrats have done nothing to better off the country in the last 60 years. Lets get that out on the presses. They are failures. No need to think that they are capable of doing good for all of the country. Always remind them of what they are.
