The Bureau of the Fiscal Service may accept gifts donated to the United States Government to reduce debt held by the public. Acting for the Secretary of the Treasury, Fiscal Service may accept a gift of: Money, only on the condition that it be used to reduce debt held by the public.

Ask your congressman and Senator to offer legislation adding the border wall to this provision. We the people should not be blocked from funding something that we want done if we are willing to pay for it. Congress keeping us from doing so is not constitutional as it goes against Article Four, Section Four which guarantees to the states a republican form of government.

A republican form of government is one whereby the people elect representatives to the big decision making table to REPRESENT the will of the people who elected them. If the will of the people is to build a wall and Congress refuses to do so, then the people should have the ability to bypass the will of congress and implement their wishes. Congress should have no say in how funds are spent which are donated for a specific purpose. Congress only has authority over the money in their budget. Donations in excess of this is not theirs. According to the U.S. Constitution, we the people are the ones in charge. If we are able to donate to one cause already, we should be able to add the wall as another cause. Let's get this done. How can they argue against us doing what we want done as a nation without looking like total fools? President Trump should ask them to add the wall to this provision as an option and make the political case for it.

To me, politically, THIS is the argument that needs to be made. It will put maximum pressure on congress to actually fund the wall if they see that the people will do it despite them. It's tax season. That wall would be paid for in full by April!

Both Nancy and Chuck are bringing Karma upon themselves. Illegal aliens kill indiscriminately. You never know who it might touch.

People seem to have forgotten the theme of the democrat party for the whole Trump term: “Resist!!”

Everything these filth do is aimed at one objective: to deny Trump a second term. They are glad to have illegals flood the country and take up the Leftwing ‘rat cause, yes; but the proximal motivation fo the current obstructionism has one goal: deny Trump the ability to fulfill his prime campaign promise: to build the wall.

Democrats know that if they allow Trump to succeed in this, his re-election is guaranteed. This they cannot even tolerate thinking about.

So while they pull out all stops no matter how extreme, it is all a huge gamble, and once they cannot afford to lose: if they fail to stop Trump now, they are dead meat to their base; the powers that propelled idiots like Cortez and Tlaib to office will run roughshod over the corpses of antiquated failures like Pelosi and Schumer. And that’s the whole real deal behind the current standoff.

The way the Democrats falsely framed the meeting was "disturbing," and their behavior is "embarrassing," McCarthy said. Where Schumer continued to "raise his voice," Trump was "polite" and "respectful." While Trump was offering solutions, the Democrats just "want to just argue."

Probably so that they could falsely accuse Trump afterwards as having had “a temper-tantrum” and being unreasonable.”””

SOMEHOW, I think Chuck & Nancy better hope they NEVER see Trump throw a real temper tantrum!!!

There's no hurry - just fill the government jobs with illegals willing to work under the table. Any liberal who objects is a racist, right?

Might as well propose a sit-down with Dracula in a garlic patch.

Or, a sun lit room!

McCarthy is showing some balls. HUGE IMPROVEMENT over Ryan.

Republicans are great when they have no power. They strut around like pit bulls. But give them power expecting them to do something and they instantly turn into chihuahuas.

Unfortunately, very true!

“”Republicans are great when they have no power. They strut around like pit bulls. But give them power expecting them to do something and they instantly turn into chihuahuas.””

Both good lines! Hehehehe

Aljazeera, NYLies, WaCompost and the alphabet soup are all carrying the "temper tantrum" story. Hopefully people will wise-up to the lyin', cryin' Puglosi and Steamer at some point?

Pelosi, Schumer, and the Democrat Party are getting tremendous pressure from thousands of furloughed Federal Govt workers.

Pelosi, Schumer, and the entire Democrat Party are going to have to explain to their constituents why they favor
Third World diseased-infected illegals looking to scrounge off their tax dollars, rather than them---hard-working, tax-paying Americans.

To prevent future misleading narratives, McCarthy suggested they invite cameras to their next meetings.

Invite?

NO!

Trump should ALWAYS have a camerama..; uh; cameraPERSON available.

History deserves to have the FACTS recorded so that any 'interpretation' of them by others can be; well; FACT checked.
