House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says there will be no money for President Donald Trump’s border wall in any deal to keep the government open past a Feb. 15 deadline.

A bipartisan group of House-Senate negotiators met for the first time Wednesday, and Pelosi addressed the issue at a session with reporters on Thursday. The California Democrat said she wants to see the negotiators’ bipartisan bill by next Friday.

“You’re right, just like Paul Ryan and his gang screwed us over.”

There are two pieces to illegal immigration. Votes for Democrats and cheap labor for Republicans. This is why nothing has ever been done. Back in 2009 the Democrats could have put an immigration bill on Obama’s desk, but they didn’t. Why?

Fast forward to 2016. Republicans could have done something, but they didn’t. Again, why?

Trump should have the transcript of his STOTU in his pocket and hand it to her when his speech is over

In NO case should he give it to her ahead of time.

If he does, she could rescind her invitation

If he gives it to her he needs to leave out the parts that would get her boxers (she and Schumer have exchanged panties) in a bunch and at the end give her a revised copy of what he really said.

Sadly, in stark contrast to Democratic “every vote counts” rhetoric, there seems to be only one Democratic vote in Congress that counts where the voters’ border wall is concerned.

And that vote belongs to misguided, anti-PDJT bully Pelosi.

Did anyone ever expect her to say otherwise? That she will maybe even consider funding the Wall?

How is this news?

Trump needs to FORGET getting congressional approval to fund the Wall. It’ll never happen.

Trump coming out as the reasonable, fair person in the negotiations.

Except the media is already blaming the next shutdown on Trump. It's a mistake to think Trump will look good in ANY situation. Regardless of circumstance, he WILL be made the bad guy, no matter what.

Bye-bye Government! We should split the shutdown and salary along party lines. Wonder if the Democrats in the House and Senate would show up for work if they weren’t getting paid?

Yes, that will be great chance for Trump to speak to everyone, give serious talk and demand for funds. Nancy will only be able to sit. And loser Abrams gives the response.

Trump needs to say no funds, not bills, government again shuts down. Seeems to undermine to say he has other routes. If so, do them and move on!

Well of course there isn’t. Playing into Trump’s plan to let the military build the wall.

“She just proved the point that illegals are more important then the people of the United States of America! What a sad state of affairs!”

And a MAJOR portion of the electorate agree with her and support her in this. This is a nation not only ready to fall, it may well be a nation that needs to fall.

Yes, I think the game is to make people of European descent a minority. Problem is, the illegals being brought in and the spawn are from 3rd world backward cesspool countries. They have absolutely nothing to offer beyond the vote for more handouts. Even the more educated H1B and related cheap labor from serves to undermine the country.

Every day that Trump has the wall in the news is one less day Democrats have to move their agenda. In sports it would be the strategy of running out the clock.

No. This is a power play between the Establishment and Trump.

This issue will decide 2020.

It would have been more surprising had wall funding been in it.

The new Mexican President, AMLO, just declared that Mexico was no longer going to be fighting the drug war against major suppliers. In other words, the cartels have won.

He doesn’t care that these thugs go in and take over entire towns in Mexico and instill a reign of terror... And that their money has corrupted generations of Mexican and other Latin American politicians...it’s all about spiting the US. A lot of the drugs that are so destructive in the US, such as meth and heroin, come through that route, so he’s giving the middle finger to the US and making it more difficult to jail or expel the drug runners when we catch them at the border.
