No deal!
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuull Shiiiiiiiiite
Heck yeah - let the RATs get blamed for this one ...
If Trump were smart, he would smile, say little, sign the deal and keep the government open. Then he would order as Commander in Chief the Army Corp of Engineers to build the wall he deems necessary and appropriate. He will then go into the 2020 election with the fait accompli that the American people really want.
No cigar but thanks for playing.
But one Republican source was quick to dispute Democrats' account, saying the $1.375 billion in barrier funding can be used for "new miles of border wall." The same Republican source suggested that the deal had enough flexibility to actually reach the president's requested level of 52,000 beds, far above the negotiated level.
Look at this as a trial balloon - if the radical leftists dont agree to this, they get blamed for the next shutdown - Pelosi controls the House ... will be an interesting vote ...
Takes two to ‘deal’. This is a proposal, and a pretty piss poor one at that.
The Democrats have one house of Congress but seem to always hold the cards. Funny how that works
I agree, not one Republican should support this - Make the RATs do the heavy lifting ...
CAVED? I want the full length of the wall, no DACA garbage, certainly no caps. Who are these “negotiators” for the Repubs? They are spineless trash with their tails between their legs.
There is no DACA in this - and no assurance the RATs can even pass this ...
To see where the GOP negotiating team is going they would have to have plexiglass bellybuttons. Their tails are not whats between their legs, their heads are in the road.
Win!!! Bunch of Debbie Downers. President DJT just had them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Go PDJT.
I just emailed the White House again and counseled Mr. Trump to toss this terrible deal and get himself some decent courageous negotiators. The ones he has now absolutely stink. I’ve seen day-old kittens with more backbone and spunk than these current invertebrates. Who is doing the negotiating for US? I’d like names, please!
Based on the history of Republican's doing what they should do, are you giving any odds they will no break tradition of caving? If so I would like a little of the action.
I was aghast when I heard that Sen Shelby was leading the Senate negotiations for Republicans. He is a back-stabbing slimeball establishment nevertrumper. He supported the democrat, Jones, in the recent Alabama senate election. He also has threatened Trump if he were to Fire Muller or Sessions.
