WHILE ALL THIS IS GOING ON SEND CALLS, LETTERS, E-MAILS, particularly to those of both parties where Trump won in 16.

This is NOT over. Soldier-on bros!

[Lagmeister]

I’m with you, but I believe Trump has already crumbled on this one. Am I wrong?

[proust]

So the budget has no wall funding, and he’s going to sign it?

[Vince Ferrer]

So we have a funding bill that is completely defunding about 20 agencies and we are ready to declare defeat because we didn't get 100% of what we wanted?

Think incrementally, take what they give us and at worst there's next year's budget. It would not surprise me if Trump never intended to get congressional money in the first place. He said as much in the campaign.

The Wall was immediately built in the Universe
that repealed ObamaCARE — after Pres. Trump’s election.

But it was NOT this Universe.

Here Ryan blocks everything, while McCain uses
the the IRS to attack conservatives.

Oh please.

The same forces against the border wall now will be the same ones
against it in the future.

So it is either shut the government down now or shut the government
down later.

Trump has been jerked around enough by congress already.
He had better toughen up or his support will begin to drop.

The people are kind of bored with grandstanding government “shutdown” (keeping in mind that on average only about 10% of the government actually gets shutdown). Forcing a shutdown won’t help Trump at all. Also keep in mind that most of the government these days is on automatic budgets, that’s how we went like 4 years without even having a budget, so there is no “running out of money” section to this. And they can override the veto.

There will be no wall budget this year. They might still fight over it for weeks, but the end result has been decided.

Fake news not real news, abuse of the News forum for your personal drivel, andare you familiar with the term “Chat”?

Based on history, apparently the only thing that the Feds listen to are artillery shells exploding.

[Intolerant in NJ]

The French have a phrase for it: “Reculer Pour Mieux Sauter” - to make a strategic withdrawal - to fall back in order to get a better jump - it’s 3D chess, not the governmental shuffle Republicans usually practice.....

[Gay State Conservative]

Sorry...can't agree.The Rats now know that DJT will cave on basic campaign pledges if they threaten shutdown.

[nopardons]

He has already caved, so stop believing in rainbows and unicorns.

[Angels27]

There will be no wall. Its just a pipe dream
