President Trump is demanding $5 billion for his border wall

That's not Trump's border wall. That's OUR border wall.

Democrats insist they won't give him any of that funding.

DemoncRATs defecate in the faces of We the People.

Merry Christmas

CBS claims, without evidence, that it was Trump’s wall.

Pull them back into sessions until they reach an agreement, or until they put the senate in full recess!

[JPJones]

Good, keep it shut down.

This is all part of Mitch’s trick to not go into recess in order to prevent the President from making recess appointments. He, as well as Chuck, wants it to die with the new Congress.

[NorthMountain]

Where is Chuck’s right hand?

[Zenjitsuman]

Time for Recess Appointments, President Trump make Recess appointments.

This is all part of Mitch’s trick to not go into recess

He doesn't need any tricks, he has done it right out in the open since Trump was sworn in. For the life of me, I can't figure out why no one is making hey of this, not even Trump!

Time for Recess Appointments, President Trump make Recess appointments.

He can't, mcconnel will not put the senate in recess!

“That’s not Trump’s border wall. That’s OUR border wall.”

DITTO THAT

[Brian Griffin]

McConnell should have tried for a vote.

I’d love to see pictures of a braying & delaying Democrat after the shutdown stories on national TV.

Shumer said Christmas Eve at 11 am.

[EEGator]

That goofy bitch looks like Fire Marshall Bill...

[marajade]

I think Chuck Schumer is willing to keep it shut down until the next Congress is seated.

[SoFloFreeper]

[fruser1]

Actually, it’d include Boxing Day, as that’ll be the day of return and unless they start at midnight nothing will be signed until midday at earliest.

The way the media is starting to handle this is by reporting it as “HIS WALL”

Calls for protesters passing out leaflets directed by name to those reporters using these terms whether they be radio or TV reporters reading
“ HEY (INSERT NAME)
WE’RE TIRED
OF YOUR LIES AND PROPAGANDA
IT IS NOT HIS WALL
IT’S OUR WALL
should be printed up and passed out at those media outlets offices or places where they are known to congregate Resorting to this propaganda
