What will Trump agree to to save face for the shutdown? There's no chance any bill with wall funding passes the newly-Democratic House, and a bill without such funding has passed the Senate 100-0.

Will he demand more money for 'border security' or will he fold like the horrible negotiator we all know that he is?

You are right. The wall is dead.

It's now steel slats.

If you guys think a wall/fence is a waste of money, why did you overwhelmingly vote for it in 2006 with the secure fence act? That is a law and has been for 13 years.

We will have to shift to a border minefield.

Trumpophants are secretly rejoicing at the fact that they now have an excuse for not building the wall, saving them from the mental gymnastics they've been forced to engage in the last two years.

That's a lie.

A voice vote (a non-roll call vote) is NOT the same as a 100-0 vote.

I know why you're a liberal. You have to lie to cover up your stupidity.

The longer this goes on, the worse it looks on the Democrats because the transparent reason for denying wall funding is simply because Trump is for it. That sort of political reasoning will eventually backfire and Nancy will give in to some extent, especially if Trump puts DACA/Dreamers up for negotiation and she balks, she will have fricked the DNC with the Hispanics.

Becuase they realize that the wall is a barrier to the following:

1. Making big dollars off of child trafficking by the legal organizations such as the Catholic Church, Lutherans, Southern Baptist and many others...approximately $59,000 per child.

2. Easy flow of drugs.

3. Easy flow of cheap labor.

4. Easy flow of potential Democrat votes.

They don't want to cut those items off. That is America to the prog filth.

President troyt37 would leave the government shut down in perpetuity, and send the military and national guard to the border, establishing a no go zone 50 yards on either side of the border, with shoot to kill orders. All ports of entry into the US from Mexico are closed until further notice, or Mexico builds the wall. All remittances from the US to Mexico are taxed at 50%. Not a penny of foreign aid to Mexico. All of this stays in place until my last day as president, or Mexico builds the wall. National security is a Constitutional mandate. Foreign aid, allowing travel across the border, and allowing illegal aliens to send money to their home country are not.

You mean, the wall was alive?

Leave it to the Democrats to kill a sentient being they did not want.









PS - just a reminder that we pay BamaAlt's rent and grocery bills. Probably cell phone too. We're paying her to make shitty detached-from-reality posts here with our tax dollars. Hoooray entitlements!

You must be so happy that your fellow traitors will now spend all of their time doing everything they can to destroy the economy and the country so that Trump has a lesser chance of being reelected.

Everything I just typed is true...you know it, I know it. You could swear on your Quran that it's all false, but I'll know you're lying.

These aren't left/right issues. You're better than that.
