    It was bad 35 years ago when I was running from gang members on my way home from school.

    Yep a win for Trump. Minor win.


    Democrats capitulate to Trump, agree to wall funding

    By Eric London
    12 February 2019


    Just 15 minutes before Donald Trump was scheduled to address a rally in the Texas border town of El Paso, Senate leaders announced that the Democrats and Republicans had reached a deal to avert another government shutdown, set to begin on at 12:01 a.m. Saturday.
    The agreement is a complete capitulation by the Democratic Party to Trump’s fascistic agenda. According to initial news reports, it includes $1.4 billion in funding for a steel wall and no lowering of the cap on the total number of immigrants who can be detained on any given night.....snip~

    No, he got no money for his stupid wall. Lots of money for border security tho.

    sensible evidence based approach vs a campaign bumpersticker of bullshit.

    And it doesn't really matter how you want to spin it, trump shut down the government to get nothing but a painful lesson at the expense of a couple million american workers. What a deal maker.

    Be loud and hopefully nobody'll notice you can't be proud.

    Which witch hunt and special council are you referring to ?

    The Benghazi cover up was a coverup.

    The cartels got their guns with Fast and Furious.

    ISIS got their guns.

    Putin got the Crimea and a foothold in the Middle East (Syria)

    Iran got $150 billion from Obama

    North Korea got free food from Obama by promising not to develop nukes.

    But I no longer have my doctor.

    He won't be running in 2020. But I do commend you on your optimism, as misplaced as it may be.

    Dang bro, that's funny! The earliest the GOP will see the house is 2025, and I wouldn't bet on that if you gave me the money to do so...

    Holy ****ing ****. You really think it is IRRELEVANT that the senator listed in your ****ing source is a Democrat?!

    And your reason why it is irrelevant is because the ****ing REPUBLICAN HOUSE did not approve?

    Pathetic.

    I see the right wings are really spinning hard on this "the democrats capitulated crap."

    Trump is about to sign a spending bill that gives him LESS WALL MONEY that he would have gotten if he had not shut down the government.

    You were already shown that Pelosi said no wall money. None. The best part about that was your Lame Stream media highlighting that rubbing it in Trumps face. CNN, MSDNC, and all of the Alphabet Soup. Then the New York Slimes and WAPO. Then Chucky Cheese Schumer saying no money for the Wall.

    Now the Demos are giving money for the wall. Its a win for Trump. Minor win since he didn't get all of what he asked.

    Oh and WSWS isn't Right wing. Calling his wall fascist.

    The only reason you chose that as your source is because you bought into and wanted to push the "democrats capitulate" bullshit talking point. If Trump had not shut down the government for 36 days and cost the US taxpayers ~3 billion in economic damage, he could have signed a bipartisan DHS funding bill that would have funded 65 miles of fencing. Instead, he did shut down the government for the longest period in US history, forced 25% percentages of the federal work force to visit a food bank, and then signed a bipartisan DHS funding bill that funds 55 miles of fencing.

    After Shutting Down The Government, Trump’s Getting Even Less Wall Money Than Democrats Originally Offered

    Republican Congress. Including a democrat comment is called politics.

    What is it called when righties applaud trump signing a bipartisan bill which funds 55 miles of fencing after applauding him for rejecting a bipartisan bill that funded 65 miles of fencing?

    Hilarious.

    Trump got less wall than the bipartisan bill that he previously rejected. Just so he could shutdown the government, cost Americans ~3 billion in economic damage, and force 25% of the federal workforce to visit a food bank.

    Are Trump supporters sick of winning yet?

    The mental gymnastics which are necessary to view everything trump does as "winning" must be exhausting.

    Ha! funny meme. Wrestling is fake, so this is the perfect image.

    Question for you: If a bucket has a small leak, it doesn't hold water, right? If a wall is immoral, wouldn't a smaller wall still be immoral? Did your side admit to being immoral?

    He didn't reject a bill that never got to his desk. You are still missing that the House was involved.

    Trump can't reject a bill that never reached his desk.

    One needs not be a Trump supporter to be entertained by liberal tears! Maybe we should impose a fine on those who oppose the wall. Just like Obamacare!

    All jokes aside, there is no winning on either side.

    Thanks for the post but is it Friday? Has the bill been signed" What happened to "no money for the border wall"? Are you dim enough to think Trump doesn't have something up his sleeve?
    Lastly, you are using CNN as a source? :roflol::roflol::roflol:
