Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said on Sunday he believes lawmakers could reach a short-term U.S. budget deal by Friday if President Donald Trump did not meddle in their talks with "poison pill" demands like funding for a border wall.

Trump needs to nuke this until the border wall is in it.

Big time.

Stand firm, Trump.

Yep, the RINOs will give the Dems everything they want- if Trump doesn’t step in.
Because they always do.

Democraps and RINOs are desperate to kill The Wall so that they can undermine the Trump admin.

So, Schumer says he can get what he wants as long as it’s limited only to his party loyalist and those in the “opposition” that he and his party have blackmail info on.

Did I translate that correctly?

Schemer should stay out of it.

I have noticed that the party that shuts down the Govt takes a political hit.GOP did it twice and it did not work out well. But with this 24x7 resist nonsense, let the Dems be the party of no progress. Let them take the hit especially the 8 Dem Senators up re-election take the hit.

So Schmuckie says they can do a budget deal without the POTUS, the country’s chief executive? No doubt he could with all the back stabbing rinos. Trump must stand firm, this is the only shot of getting the wall and saving the country.

Since Trump runs the treasury, I think he’ll have no problems spending only tax receipts with no borrowed money.

That’s a 33% cut and he’s already telling them to expect 20%.

Pay the employees.
Pay Ssn.
Fund the military.

I say it’s doable.

If these jerks want to prove that, then try to extort him. Let’s see where that will get them.

It only worked before because of a president who selectively chose to not pay people so he would get an uproar.

Um... the president sets the budget and sends it to Congress. How, Constitutionally, can the president stay out of a budget deal when HE, and no one else, is supposed to formulate the budget?

Of course, Schumer, anything you want is possible if “they” would simply leave you, the ‘RATS and the RINOs alone.

And the GOP ought to be able to handle this themselves, by sticking together and up for the president’s priorities. Chucky’s blessing should not be required.

If Schummer shuts down the gov’t, Trump should cause the PP mills to be shuttered
