    Pelosi has negotiated...she allowed funds for border security that are sensible and effective...not for stupid walls. No Democrat cares that the trump rubes bought that Mexico was going to pay for an outdated, racist, useless wall. That's your problem...you support an incompetent, moron, racist, illiterate, traitor who lies around 30 times a day.

    Pelosi and all the other Democrats were put there by decent Americans who do care about their country and will hold her accountable if she capitulates to the enemy of our country infesting the White House. Congress is run by Democrats and they work for the decent, good, intelligent voters in the country.

    Bottom line, what you want...doesn't matter....get over it.

    It's a framework for a negotiated settlement, if Democrats refuse to engage in compromise, and reopen the Federal government, then the President will have to take emergency actions to keep the government functioning, it was important that he first make the Democrats as very solid offer.

    The government shut down.


    Many couples felt their cabin fever break when the snow began to melt. But for federal workers trapped in the void of the shutdown, there is no tomorrow. There is only one long today, with walls inching in around them and nothing to do but annoy the people they love most

    Judges are like butterflies. They undergo a metamorphosis once they know they have a job for life.
    Just ask Roberts about Obamacare.

    He's a frequent guest on Faux Snooze, and isn't an "expert" on those issues. He's the union business agent.

    99.5% of real border patrol agents also disagree with his claims, as do actual security experts.

    So, you cited to one guy whose union is seeking $ in the budget for its union membership.

    Fail.

    She already did. Bottom line, she'll allow funds for reasonable border security. Not a wall...and he needs to re-open the government first.

    Pretty f'ing clear. He's too much of a fat, racist, moron to comprehend very simple things.

    Putin is very proud of his gimp.

    Saturday Nancy Pelosi learned a lesson about presidential power and the media was gut checked by the special prosecutor. I haven’t had this much fun since election night 2016.

    While she might have thought otherwise, the power of the commander-in-chief is far greater than that of the speaker of the House, and the humiliating way this was brought home was something. She anticipated that she and her posse of cronies and their families (reports of a ninety-some entourage in all) would hop a military plane for a free trip to Brussels, Afghanistan, and Egypt, doubtless with fawning media coverage, leaving the president to sit alone in the White House hoping fruitlessly they’d toddle in there to negotiate an end to the shutdown. Reports vary as to whether she was on the tarmac or on her way there when the president cancelled the flight as incompatible during a shutdown when federal workers were not being paid and illegal aliens were continuing to invade.

    When Pelosi loves Dreamers more than she hates Trump, the government will reopen.

    Trump, clearly, has decided he's no longer going to practice politics in order to secure his re-election. You know, the politics he was elected to represent.

    He hopes that the people will only blame the Democrats for the shutdown, thus he wins the 2020 election. Or so his deluded mind goes.

    Some lame excuse about a wall shouldn't fool anybody, nor should people believe in his self-proclaimed massive humanitarian crisis.

    The only crisis is the shutdown and Trump has NO intention of relenting on this.
    He never made his speech for the good of the country, for his motives have nothing to do with the good of the country.

    We are entering, or already have arrived in, the land of the Great Dictator...
    And guess who are the first victims of such a dictator?

    That's right; the people.

    Observe a constitutional crisis!

    What an incoherent ramble.

    Latinos are increasingly rallying to the president's side, according to a new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll, which notes that 50 percent of Latinos surveyed approve of the job Trump is doing, a 19-point increase from December of last year.

    If this holds, it strengthens Trump's hand in negotiations and puts him in position to add Colorado, New Mexico, and Nevada to his win column in 2020.

    I honestly don't think trump is going to be in any position to run in 2020. The Democrats are going to start serious investigations and its going to get real ugly, real fast. They're going to open up his treasure trove of multiple crimes of both trump and his vile kids. Impeachment isn't going to be the issue...whether or not you can indict a sitting president will be the issue. Whether or not he actually won the election is going to be another issue.

    .
    I find it rather disturbing, and also sad, that you still confuse Trump with a politician or someone who practices politics for a living.
    Apparently, you are not alarmed with Trump holding an entire country hostage.
    But it should at least remind you of someone.

    The DACA program was an unconstitutional program that never had any basis to exist under our laws, and the people covered under DACA are illegal aliens. So...why shouldn't we deport them?

    Just curious, but if Trump wins again in 2020, are you going to stick around to explain why you were wrong, or are you going to vanish like you did last time?

    You obviously misread my post.

    The wall isn’t outdated according to the border patrol agents who work there every day. Do you work there every day? Maybe you need to shut your pie hole and defer to the border agents.

    Yup. And how is a policy for a border wall related to a government shutdown other than that Trump is holding government workers (and plenty more) hostage for his wall? If I were to take a family hostage to force the town to pave my street, I'd go to jail for a very long time. Shouldn't Trump?

    Why isn't there any report of congress negotiating this with Trump, then? He "heard" what some congressional Democrats wanted and adopted some of their ideas. THAT isn't negotiation. You can look up the definition if you don't believe me.

    Show me any documentation saying that was ever the policy or proposal prior to trump.

    Trump said these things are increasing and quoted fake numbers.

    No my friend. Hillary failed. Democrats failed. Liberalism failed and is continuing to fail.

    President Trump is doing just fine.
