No surprise here. Another shutdown will be no big deal compared to previous shutdowns. I believe 75% of the budget has already been allocated.

I don't think Trump can get away with having the military build the wall without fund specifically appropriated for it. As much as I would like to see him try, should it come to that, I think there would be too much opposition from Congress - from both sides of the "aisle."

63 million of us elected Trump to build the frickin wall. Let’s build the wall.

Pelosi is SUCH a piece of crap.

I hope we see a lot of this over the next 2 years.

Plus- she’s not in charge yet... why does she matter?

No, but he can lay a minefield and then say "they come out when you fund the wall".

Good. Shut it down. Shut the whole thing down. Schumer blinked once, he’ll blink again. He was more to lose.

Trump learned his lesson on meeting with those snakes behind closed doors. I don’t recall the exact issue, but Durbin burned him by misrepresenting what was said.

The Democrats are desperate to get millions of more illegal voters before 2020.

Shut down permanently except for delivering the mail (1.8.7), one of the very few domestic policy powers that the Founding States actually gave to the feds.

Also, off topic, patriots are encouraged to watch Dan Borgino’s excellent 37 min video (associated book). The video helps to flesh out the alleged Mueller conspiracy against Pres. Trump.

I believe Trump could declare the wall a national security measure and use military and homeland security funds. I’m sure that would be fought by the illegal lovers on both sides, but it would be interesting to see who and how that would turn out.

Pence says nothing and let's Trump have to fight 2 against 1. Good going, Mike.

Fedzilla does NOT shut down.

I hope Trump allows the taxpaying public to find this out.

I loved all the Rat bitching about having the meetings public. Transparency- that's what the dems hate. They don't want the public to see what they are really about. (Hint: they-Dems-are not for American interests.)

Hope there are more public meetings. Citizens need to see what they voted for.

Pelosi kept talking about having a border conversation!

All the Republicans and Democrats have done for 35 years now is have a conversation while the country became flooded with millions of illegals. And 35 years later they still want to talk about it!

Bullshit

I watched the Trump I voted for today. The only thing that would have made it better is if he admitted, as Mark Levin says, that Democrats have given up on the working American middle class and instead intend to keep the borders open to allow their new and improved voting base to flood in.

Maybe POTUS is holding that card for the future but I say he should just look into the camera and lay it all out there. You don't get an opportunity like today every day.

The Rats are intent on taking down the country. President Trump needs millions of his supporters to come to Washington am=nd make clear that Schumer, Pelosi and the rest of the anti-American plotters are going to become hunted animals if they don’t get out of the way.

5 billion for the wall, about .0012% of a 4 trillion budget. Illegals suck up about 18.5 billion a year in Medicaid alone not counting other entitlements. Nancy and chucks coin purse is being held on to much too tightly.
