[E. Pluribus Unum]

Trump dangled DACA amnesty out there knowing the Democrats would reject it.

Cost him nothing and the Democrats just shot themselves in the foot.

[Mikemurphy]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!Trapped like rats!!

[Democrats hate too much]

Pelosi hates all Dreamers.

[SleeperCatcher]

She did this because a) she’s in a safe little district in California and she’ll never lose her seat in the 3-4 years she has left to live; and b) she believes Democrats are winning the shutdown battle because, as usual, she believes tainted liberal polling.

Trump wins....again.

[palmer]

each of which is unacceptable

More immigration judges? Unacceptable. More agents? Unacceptable. $800M in humanitarian aid? Unacceptable. Three years of legal status? Unacceptable.

[blueunicorn6]

She has wrinkled palms.

Wrinkled palms.

She must be like 800 years old.

[Salman]

I will be very surprised if there is any deal.

Also, I do not understand why anyone thinks the "shutdown" puts pressure on the congressional Democrats. Do they really care about federal workers beyond using them as propaganda fodder?

[DoughtyOne]

He knew she would.

So now he has her on record refusing a DACA deal and refusing a border wall.

Ouch! Nancy, did you eat breakfast this morning?

This was a brain dead move on her part.

With DACA she could have played the DACA folks like a fiddle.

[Mozilla]

Second time he did it to see if they would accept his wall and not deal.

[PapaBear3625]

I think that he cancelled Pelosi’s flight at the last minute precisely to enrage her, and produce this exact outcome. Now the Democrats own the shutdown, despite the efforts of the media.

[MarMema]

What a witch.

[mass55th]

She seals her fate by rejecting it outright, without being willing to discuss it.

[DoughtyOne]

San Fran NO DEAL Nan...

[blueplum]

Shove it, Pelosi. Americans who live on or near the border want ‘certainty’ that they are safe in their lives, too.

[allendale]

Who is advising Trump? He is Commander in Chief. There is a security threat along the southern border. Simply order the Army Corp of Engineers to build the wall he wants. Rearrange funds in the Pentagon to finance it. Or save money by withdrawing troops from the myriad of foreign entanglements.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Time to start deporting Piglosi’s Wet Dreamers.

[Drew68]

This was stupid. President Trump gave Nancy an opportunity to save face at the expense of pissing off his base and she still turned him down.

He played her like a fiddle.

[SaxxonWoods]

Everything is going fine.

Trump’s last two important speeches have been short, calm, firm and straightforward. Good optics.

Like a good attorney, he knew the answer to today’s question before he asked it. He was already on to the next step, just had to lay this marker down first.

Let’s see what’s next.

[Aevery_Freeman]

Any of these objections (bullet points) look familiar?

[yoe]

Knowing they were voting for Miss “you gotta pass it before you read it” Pelosi...then we know why out Constitution was so abused under Obama...and the thinking world understands how totally vapid the Progressives/Socialists are in America...vapid and dangerous to our liberty and freedoms.

[Old Yeller]

It’s a game of chicken.
