Democrats vow government shutdown over Trump border wall

Senate Democrats said Monday that they will block any spending bill that includes money for President Trump’s border wall, even if it leads to a government shutdown, saying it’s up to Republicans to resist touchy issues in the looming spending debate.

In a letter led by Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer, top Democrats also said they will insist that bills allow Planned Parenthood to collect taxpayer money.

But though Democrats are in the minority and would have to filibuster to block the bills, they insisted it’s Republicans who will be blamed for a government shutdown.

Republicans, like MccainMcconnel are such a$$es. They promise to not press for advantage by changing the rules - yet democrats certainly will once they regain the Senate. Schumer has ventured further (as Reid did) than any previous leader. He isn’t worried about certain mimicking of the slow-stall for nominees. Democrats always advance, Republicans stand pat. It’s why the democrat agenda progresses even when they are the minority.

Me too, but the hypocrisy is noted

Can’t wait. Shut it down. The economy will grow stronger without govt. bureaucrats sticking in their regulatory noses. Go for it Schumer - you’ll be on the same side as Ted Cruz. And Trump’s border wall will still get built.

Also would be a great time for Trump to make recess appointment for the 46 district AGs and more than 100 federal judgeships. I hope it happens.

We need border cams in many places to show the idiot dems, and more importantly, the American people, the quality of the illegal border crossers.

In the meantime, here's some stills of how they trash our border:

Ad nauseum.

Great! The money saved can help pay for the wall.
