Of Course! No surprise here. The big donors issued the orders to career politicians. Cheap labor express must continue. Personal gains much more important than the vast hard working middle class which has no lobby.

They will pull wall funding to support Harvey victims. Everyone from both parties will vote for it, boxing in Trump.

No, that’s not it.

They’re cowards and will let Trump take all the heat for not signing.

And they’ll do their very best to ensure nobody gets 2/3 for an over ride.

Meanwhile the Republican Senate is freeking out and pissin their selves. There is definitely 2/3 there for over ride if it comes to default on debt. But, for naught. There’ll never be 2/3 of the House.

Expect Rinos and Dims in both houses of Congress to be in full, end of the world conniption and PEACOCK mode before this month is out.

Trump will give them borrowing authority, but hold fast on demanding an actual budget...no CR...with his priorities funded.

Watch this happen.

And watch Washington DC completely melt down.

Even bet that this wall sees one block placed,one shovel of dirt moved during this first term. The Wall is one of the fundamental ideals of MAGA. Those who do not support it are anti-American.

Fake conservatives. Nothing more.
They are all for funding until it’s time to actually fund it.
Trump should should say he will sign funding for Harvey
Disaster and the wall and that’s it.

The Border Wall funding is not that much money and the Freedom Caucus must not care about the dangerous drugs that are directly impacting American families.

These guys in Congress must have never seen a young man or woman who is dependent on needle shots of heroin every single day and the misery and agony it creates for his family! It is real agony and misery to see this directly.

These folks in Congress are all a bunch of phonies.

The drugs are coming in thru our porous border like we have never seen before for crying out loud!

A young man or young woman must rob to get the $$$ to pay for the heroin every single day!

Do these Congressman and Congresswomen not care one bit about American families!!! They obviously do not care one bit!

Why??????????????????

President Trump needs to veto whatever comes out of Congress since Congress is bunch of incompetent fools!!!

Short sided political grandstanding rather than long range strategic security.

And these f_cking a$$holes think we aren’t going to notice? They take for granted our law abiding nature because we don’t act out like the left - just wait until they push us past the tipping point with crap like this.

I see scaffolds in the future of D.C. ..... Guillitines are too bulky.

Freedom Caucus my butt. Time to bleach the pool.

Easy fix. Include wall funding in Diaster funding.

The stopgap is not the place for it.
It will be in the new budget, where it belongs.

The Dems are going to use the stopgap to shut down the government over... something.
Will be great fun to watch them fail.

Heck, don’t fund the wall AT ALL! Simply build it and worry about paying for it later. The Democrats have built an entire social system like this. At least we will have something to show for it AND it will be a great addition to our sovereignty. In the long run, it will pay for itself in keeping illegals out of our nation.

I believe Trump is going to have to find a way to fund the wall without congress. They don’t want it period. If he doesn’t reach that conclusion we are never going to get it, which would be just fine with Trump’s inner circle.

Actually many of them congress critters DO CARE. But their rich donors want cheap labor flooding in. A career politician can not survive without the rich donor class. They love the money and power of career politics. They all get rich by staying in politics. Drugs addiction is not a problem for the donor class.
