Hours ago, Vice President Pence made headlines by shortening his trip to Hawaii so that he could fly back to Washington D.C. Pences original plans to visit the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor have also been put on hold. Speculations about the swift change of the Vice Presidents plans have been attributed to the Friday deadline that Congress must meet in order to pass a new spending package. The impending doom of a government shutdown awaits them if they are not successful. Additionally, the White House is scheduled to release a new tax reform plan this week. Given the following, it makes sense of Pence to return to Washington earlier than he originally planned.
President Trump made it clear that the spending bill should also include a down payment on the Southern border wall. Many people believe that this course of action complicates the crafting of the spending bill. Despite these claims, the President insists that the border wall will serve as an effective tool to halt the flow of drugs and other negative influences into this nation. Democrat leader Chuck Schumer declared that Republican leaders should tell the Commander in Chief to deal with the wall at a later time.

There will be no carbon tax under Trump. And there is no way the GOP-controlled Congress would pass one. Provide the names of the GOP Congressmen who are sponsoring such a bill and give us the bill number.
They’re reporting he has backed down on wall funding and the VP is probley returning for the nreifing today on NORK with the full senate.
I am not saying there will be a carbon tax. I said carbon tax gary pushes for one
And he is team kushner of the powell..cohn..faction..who push ideas that lean lib
The wall must happen or most of us supporters are gone the walk is primary and not negotiable. If President Trump reneges on this I will no longer support him and work for his defeat. He will have left the reservation. Treaty with Mexico... Yeesh remember the Alamo!
There are some here that talk about eco issues with the wall. I have no clue whether mexico really has a leg to stand on as it relates to water flow of Rio Grande.
DEFCON 2.
Seems like I remember Ryan promising no more omnibus bills.
Stated that departmental budget bills would return to be voted on individually.
Guess there just wasn’t time (sarc)
The pictures of VP in Guam kicked ass.
Alarm every American, or call to ARM every true American? :)
Adding twitter to my sources for the morning would really be a good idea, eh? At least it’s short. Thanks for sharing.
LOL just clicked on Trump’s tweet acct and he has over 28 Million tweetsters! [I don’t like the name “follower”]
NORK situation.
I don’t think he is. The contractors are still working to put all of the President’s ideas into the wall. The news is Hoping the President is backing down.
The GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN is just a bunch of liberals telling the conservatives “I’m taking my ball and go home”. They pull this every year since the GREAT BIG shutdown during the clinton administration when Newt saved clinton’s backside.
Ryan is just an area we put on the chair when we’re on the computer.
