    It cannot be acted upon because the Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, has absconded and left Lyin' Don to whine about his government shut-down for which he has taken responsibility and of which he said he is proud.

    I dunno... it's likely Jones is toast, but he can point to his voting record (51.9% voting with Trump). Sort of depends who the T's run against him....

    Would be super interesting if Sessions wins the T primary... Not sure how Trump can campaign for him with a straight face (not that he actually has one). How do you support a guy he has already called:

    - disloyal
    - beleaguered
    - weak
    - Jeff Session
    - mentally retarded
    - dumb southerner

    That'll be a great race to watch either way...

    You are glad to see any Republican go that doesn't fall at the feet of your God.

    Really, so what was the thinking that voters were doing when they put Democrats in charge of the House because of Trump.

    And it’s historically changed for how many decades now? You think it was a fluke this time, hehe?

    No you probably think it was a fluke, it changed for a reason no matter how you try to spin it.

    Not trying to spin anything. The power was going to switch hands because history tells us so. But attempting to call it a blue wave is a bit much, don’t you think? If Dems won as much as they predicted then sure, call it a wave. But they lost plenty they were supposed to win. It was a very predictable midterm. Not a blue wave by any definition.

    The one 10 years ago? It's 2018, Silly! You are on a CURRENT EVENTS Topic Board!

    We have seen a child who for the past nine years has claimed he brought the country out of a severe recession even though it ended around 110 days after he took office, before his policies could have had any effect.

    For eight years we had children running the economic policy which gave us the slowest economic recovery in seventy years despite almost zero interest rates, a massive Federal Reserve infusion of money, massive increases in government spending and around a $10 trillion increase in federal debt.

    Today, we have an adult who learned from history that capitalism, the private sector, lower taxes and fewer regulations are the way to make the economy thrive. We currently have economic growth of three percent (much faster than the children said the economy could grow) and exceptionally low unemployment rates.

    BUT, we also have OPEN BORDERS, thanks to Democrat Obstruction. Democrats would rather SHUTDOWN THE GOVERNMENT than secure the open border that allows killers to come in and out like its an open door.

    I despise Pelosi but why is this news? Trump, who I also despise, started the shutdown with his idiotic demand to spend money on a border wall.

    Walls only work when built in the right place, in the right way and with enough guards to watch them. When well guarded and patrolled they serve to slow an intruder and focus their efforts where they can be seen and interdicted. This implies a carefully designed system, not simply pouring money into a wall you haven't even thought about how to defend.

    Consider the Berlin Wall. Hugely successful, even though it was for an evil purpose. It worked because of the enormous commitment to watching and guarding every foot of it.

    Same with the Great Wall of China, which is actually numerous walls built over centuries. During regimes that maintained armies guarding the walls, they worked. When they were poorly staffed, they failed.

    Stop talking about Trump's simple minded demands. We need experts to design improvements to Border Security, Port Security and Visa Enforcement. We need a guest worker program, and fixes to our dysfunctional and slower than a turtle immigration system. We need focus on the real threat, the organized criminal cartels challenging Mexico's government with dollars taken out of American lives hooked on drugs.

    We do not need to hand $5 billion to Donald Trump as if he's making a real estate deal.

    If that is the case what are you babbling about nine years, your God has been the POTUS for basically the last 2yrs.

    If that is the case how has Trump been responsible for the economy and low unemployment.

    You mean the Republican House and Senate.

    Today we have a dude who doesn't have a clue, inspite of Trumpers trying to hype him up as something he is not.

    ……….and yet Republicans have been in control of all 3 houses.

    ……..but the president claimed he was proud to shut the gov't down.

    Adding blasphemy to your ongoing nonsense, nice touch! Since Trump, GDP growth has doubled while debt growth is up a mere 6%. And he's a mere mortal!
    And yet, he whipped your asses!
    Yet another Einstein who slept through civics. There are 3 branches of government, one of them is made up of TWO Houses.
    DEMOCRATS WOULD RATHER SHUTDOWN THE GOVERNMENT THAN SECURE THE BORDER.

    It's as simple as that.

    Are you kidding me?

    Does anybody on the left think before they post?

    Do you really want to get into a pissing contest about who gets upset over ridiculous nonsense?

    Shall we start with the left's ridicule of what the trumps wear?.....that alone could go on for awhile.

    Face it....when it comes to fake outrage, the left has no equal.

    Oh like the thread about Michelle’s dress recently?

    Oh that’s right wring

    Obama’s tan suit?!

    Oh, also right wing....

    Urm...

    Cortez’s clothes.

    That’s also right wing....


    Oh you must be talking about when Melania wore a coat that literally said “I don’t care”... yeh, integrity right there.

    Meanwhile trump is spending 50 grand on tents alone at his mixer in Florida.
    Of taxpayer money — not his own
    During a shutdown in which workers have been told to do chores for their landlords

    And here we are crying about Pelosi spending her own money
    Reeeeeeeeee

    I find it funny that both parties are now saying it is up to Trump to write the legislation for the border wall. As usual Congress is abdicating it’s duties.

    Are you aware that a spending bill was voted on by the senate with 100 senators out of 100 voting aye.
    Trump owns this 100%. Someday, hopefully soon, the Republican senators will find their spines. A 100-0 vote should have been veto proof but they're too gutless to do their jobs. All for a useless wall that will stand as a very expensive monument to bigotry.

    Why, Dirty Donnie , of course. He’s playing politics with this issue so he’s going to get his nose rubbed in lots and lots of FAIL.

    I note that you totally ignored the facts that the Republican leaders of the House and Senate as well as the majorities therein did not and are not delivering this “wall” boondoggle.

    I will repeat the questions so you can answer them. Where are the Republican leaders of the House and Senate ? Why aren’t they ending Dirty Donnie’s government shutdown ?

    I've already answered this question. The ruling elites on both sides of the isle want this interloper to fail.

    Tell me what policies or bills he put in place that caused this. Please be specific.

    How did he do that? I didn't realize I was running.

    Let me put it in dummy terms my bad. You control the HOUSE, the Senate and the White House.

    Yet the President bragged that he would be proud to shut down the gov't and he did just that. I am still waiting on you to prove that bullshit and all we get is right wing propaganda.
