Chuck is trying to use the shutdown as a bargaining chip to not release the memo. They are scared to death of this memo because it is going to destroy the dems.

Sure thing Chuck.

Thats about 1/30th of the total so your bogus gesture was seen for what it was.

I'm not really in the mood to make any deals anymore.

Deport the DACA illegals and go from there.

No specific funding needs to be allocated for the wall, the DHS or other federal agency can care it out of the budget.

Crush them.

He withdrew an insulting offer with no leverage. Is there any wonder all of our country's deals with other nations are so one-sided? We had idiots running our negotiations and another band of idiots approving them.

No DACA.
No unionized federal government employees getting paid.
No welfare checks.
No military checks.
No government services.

DNC supporters 1000x more affected than GOP supporters.

Can tough Crying Schumer take weeks of that?

Or will Art of the Deal, the Magnificent Orange SOB win again?

My vote is MAGA wins again!

Check out this douche bag.

Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) is warning Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) not to backtrack on a promise to take up immigration legislation next month.

“If he does not honor our agreement, it will be a breach of trust, not only with the Democratic senators but with several members of his own party as well,” Schumer warned.

If you watched the weekend news shows white house staffers said that Schumer was trying to pull a fast one. He kept saying he offered to "support the building of the wall". What he never said was "allocating funds to build it". When the president's staff caught this word play, they called him on it and asked for a commitment to allocate funding in the budget. He refused. So, what he is spinning as they agreed and then called back later to renege on the agreement is not exactly what happened. They realized he was trying to parse words and called him on it. The white house staffer pointed out the building of the wall was approved years ago by congress and Schumer even voted for it but they have always blocked allocating the funds for the construction.

What is the argument against the border wall?

I will not accept "it's a waste of money". So is the entire Dem platform.

Got anything else?

On a scale of 1 to incredibly stupid, making immigration a key issue for the midterms is way up there for democrats. For people who love to poll, how in the world do they not realize that Trump's immigration stance is incredibly popular.

Trump is probably now wondering why he ever took Chuck and Nancy seriously. I hope he goes for the jugular.

Well, given that he never really intended to stick to it, it's cool that he admits he was lying now.
