    He made a counter offer that the Republican majority couldn't even get the 50 votes needed in the senate to bring it to the floor to debate it. There is no support in either party for wasting 10s of billions of dollars on a useless, in fact counterproductive, monument to bigotry.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but as a politician, especially the most likely next speaker of the house, all Pelosi has to do is meet with one local politician and the entire trip can be justified and paid for as a political expense.

    It doesn't matter because beliefs are more important to them than facts. Despite knowing these allegations you mention are false they will still be repeated.

    No, it all began with 9/11 and soon thereafter the Democrats and Republicans, and a Coalition chose to respond in Iraq. Obama, in December, 2011, chose to defy his military and retreat, thereby allowing ISIS to flourish and genocide to grow.Trump eventually won back a great deal of what was lost.

    Her husband is a very wealthy man and contributes a great deal to Democrat candidates. She certainly didn't win the Speakership with her intellectual gifts.

    You haven't established that she is charging that hotel bill to the taxpayer. If it is a vacation, then she should not charge the bill to taxpayers. If the trip is for congressional business, then she should.

    Trump is a liar and a coward. Trump had a chance to pass a temporary spending bill to keep the government open for a few weeks but he turned it down

    Posted 5:06 am, December 20, 2018, by CNN Wire

    WASHINGTON — The Senate passed a stop-gap spending bill on Wednesday 12-19-2018 night in an effort to keep the government funded and prevent a partial shutdown . It gave 1.6 billion to the wall and House speaker Ryan said this compromise legislation would pass the House. Then idiot Trump listens to Rush Limbough and refuses to accept the compromise legislation. It was only a temporary stop gap Bill to keep the Government going. Idiot Trump would be able to demand his 5 billion for the wall after the tempory legislation ended in a week or so. Instead the idiot shuts down the Government.

    The Senate worked late into the night on Wednesday to pass the measure, which had appeared to have hit a snag earlier in the day over a push to advance public lands legislation.

    McConnell introduced the measure earlier on Wednesday to fund the remaining parts of the government through February 8, 2019.

    McConnell’s proposal has the backing of the top congressional Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, and top congressional Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, and top congressional Republicans have indicated they are optimistic that the President would sign the measure.

    Hypocricy? What hypocricy?

    The greatest champion the working man ever had in this country was Franklin D Roosevelt. He never went around in sack cloth and ashes either.

    But the Senate’s passage of the short-term measure brings Washington one step closer to staving off a shutdown of some key federal agencies, set to expire at midnight on Friday, just days before Christmas.

    The Right would rather LAY OFF AMERICANS than admit they don’t have the votes to steal taxpayer money for their twisted boondoggle, it’s as simple as that.

    No you're as simple as that.

    Lol so Trump shuts down the government, 800,000 government workers are without pay. All because Trumpenheimer couldn't wait till Jan, Feb 2019 to request the 5 billion for the wall when new budget talks were open again.

    By the way Trumenheimer already screwed you. He admitted he was the sole person shutting down done the wall.
    "If we don’t get what we want one way or the other whether it’s through you through a military through anything you want to call( it) I will shut down the government absolutely"

    Trump just doesn't like that Christmas is not about him, so he had to do something to try and get more attention over the holidays

    Trump admitted he would take responsibility for the shut down so instead of allowing a stop gap spending bill that the Senate and House would agree to that would keep the government funded till Feb 2018 he turned it down. He could have easily demanded the 5 billion in February. but now 800,000 govt workers aren't being paid. There was only 1 shutdown in that past weeks and Trump was responsible

    Isn't it amazing how Trump screws his followers..
    Per Trump: "I will take the mantle I will be the one to shut it down I’m not going to blame you (Schummer) for it the last time you shut it down it didn’t work I will take the mantle of shutting down and I’m going to shut it down for border security".

    Weird that Schumer/Pelosi would rather shutdown the government than let these people get paid. Do you know that over 90% of political donations by Federal Workers goes to Democrats? Yet, Chuck and Nancy would rather deliver them a kick in the ass than a paycheck? How is that for gratitude! They must feel completely betrayed!

    The President is very comfortable with the decision to let Democrats shut the government down rather than accept a deal without proper money in it for the wall.

    Happy New Year!
