It was a message repeated several times at a Democrat news conference Tuesday afternoon: Republicans, agree with us on a spending bill, or well blame you for shutting down the government.
And it appears that Republicans, who control all three branches of government, are listening:
Now last night, we received a bit of good news not just for Democrats but for the country that the president is easing off his demands for a border wall in the government funding bill, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) told the news conference.
The money is better used elsewhere, Schumer said. If the wall is $50 billion, you could use that money to give just about every American broadband.

Chuck U.,
It’s NOT YOUR JOB to “give” us broadband, pal..
It IS your job to defend us from foreign enemies.
Maybe it’s time for you to seek employment elsewhere.
The Constitution doesn't give the federal government the power to "give" people broad band, you dumb schmuck.
Besides, the money saved every year by not having to provide benefits to the imported welfare-sucking illegals will be much larger than the cost of the wall.
Or a fresh chicken and a bottle of cheap wine. Your point was?
SCHUMER, what about the 5.6 billion dollars missing from HUD?
What an A$$.
Gee no wall but broadband, who knew that was an enumerated right? And gee we just keep letting people violate our boarders and suck off the taxpayer teat? Where does that money come from Captain A-Hole? How bout we secure the border with a one time major expenditure, cut the recurring rape of legal Americans taxes and let people pay for their own damn broadband!
Quit stealing our money and let us spend it on ourselves and our family! FYCS!
whether they wanted broadband or The Wall,
= = =
About half would say that they can get The Wall on iTunes if they have broadband.
yes,Chuck. but controlling our borders properly and deporting/repatriating the enemy Moslems within....
are FAR FAR FAR more important to the future of USA
and every single one of us
than broadband or free pepsis or subsidized big macs
How much candy and liqour would it buy us all Chuckie?
Let’s get to the things that matter!
Sorry, but a judge will come in and reverse anything a Republican does.
$50 Billion would provide all Americans with Broadband - for how long?
When it runs out are You paying for it Chuckles?
Well Chuckie that’s not part of the enumerated powers but a wall for security is
ML/NJ
The money we use to incarcerate illegals could be used to build a wall.
ROFL!!!
This is not true in rural America. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth for millions of Americans.
I think we may have found a way to get him on board for the wall, maybe even for deportations. Tell him that all of the money we have spent on illegals could be used to provide MORE FREE STUFF for citizens and people here legally.
What a pinhead.
