The Dems refuse to fund the wall, because... they plan to funnel that money into their own pockets.

Remember that? The Democrats got him to cave on taxes and then beat him over the head for breaking his campaign promise.
They want to use the same trick on President Trump.

Yeah he only mentioned the Demonrats but the traitors on the Republicans will be the obstructionists as well. I am sure he knows that, right?

What negotiations?
Dems vs Mitch and Peewee Ryan?
That’s like giving away the whole farm vs give away all but the weeds on farm border.
There are no negotiations.

I believe that captures the essence of the typical Yahoo liberal poster. The bunk bed is a nice touch.

He said he was going to get cross dressers out of the military too and that hasnt happened yet.

He needs to order department heads to start working up guidance suggestions for their workers in the event of a shutdown. If he’s serious about building the wall, it’s very likely he’s going to have to go through with his threat to shut it all down in order to get the funding.

The Liestream Media does not give a frig about what America wants. I am sure they got a good look at our White Board:

Some electric fencing and a machine gun tower every 100 yards should work just as well. Funding is already in place for that.

Shut the MOFO down if taxes, Obamacare AND the wall are not addressed...
The citizens that matter (Trump voters) won’t even notice it’s shut down.

“could upend delicate negotiations on Capitol Hill “
bullshit. no negotiations are necessary. budgets are simple up or down votes, even in the Senate with none of the filibuster crap.

I don’t care how it’s paid or how much, build the wall first. In the meantime hunt down all Visa violaters and kick em out permanently.
To: Yogafist
So long as the filibuster rule is in force the money for the wall will not be funded. If the rule is voted down the funding will still not pass because enough Republicans with five years left of their terms will continue to vote against it.
