Discussion: Trump Affirms He'll Shutdown Gov Over Wall: 'Chances Are Probably Very Good'

Can’t he just sign the CR that’s already been passed?

Bartering for taco bowls perhaps.

He also repeated numerous falsehoods in his argument for wall, such as one particularly startling — and wildly untrue — claim that the United States spends “$285 billion a year on illegal immigration.”

Seems legit. I can see it requiring $285 billion to process the 98 million illegal immigrants that entered the country last year.

It would need to pass the House first, I think.

Hasn’t passed the house yet.

McConnell just emerged to say he’s ready to pass the bill. But not just ready to change the rules. Huh. What a surprise. Huh. What a piece of cowardly shit.

Oh, but we’re all part of the audience for Donny’s reality show. So he’s going to tease the conclusion relentlessly and be sure to join us right after this commercial break …

This is the only script he remembers from his glory days.

This fake shutdown crisis is all about creating any distraction from the news that Trump yesterday capitulated to Russia on Syria and cut ties with our only ally in the MidEast that was working directly with the US to stop ISIS. Donald threw Turkey under the bus and is putting us at risk of another 911 attack.

Trump has retreated militarily because Putin told him he must…and so he did it. Donald must really owe Russian banks a whole lot of money. Enough to make him go bankrupt yet again?

Which Eastern European country will Donald hand over to Putin next? When will another radical Saudi terrorist group take advantage of this weakness and flock to our shores with mass death on their agenda? Why won’t the Republican Party stop their Russian Mafia leader before it’s too late and we are attacked yet again?

The budget bill that was passed by the House yesterday has the 5 billion for the wall in it and now awaits a vote in the Senate which will fail. To get a CR done would require the Senate to shoot down the present House bill before it, then formulate a CR in the Senate amenable to the House, pass it, send it over to the House for debate and passage, then rush it to the White House for signing. A mighty task for a slow motion machine that has many saboteurs in its midst.

Too bad the “breaking news” idiots can’t wean themselves off this crap. I see how posting every useless tweet by the fake POTUS is perhaps required because any one of them could cause another crisis that puts lives in jeopardy, but seriously. He’s enjoying this. Take him off the news feed for the weekend through xmas and ignore him. Let’s have a true holiday.

I like the conclusion of the reality series where Donald was fired by NBC. Can’t wait to see it happen again on the Washington stage by the American voters in 2020…then the final conclusion where a grand jury or two lead to felony trials for the entire Trump Russian Mafia family.

Only his glory days trying to manipulate prison gangs at a federal penn lie ahead.

Of all the stuff that has happened losing Mathis seems to actually worry Republican Senators. Has Diogenes found a Patriot?
I didn’t know Ann Coulter was President. She challenged his manhood and he caved.

Send him out to the golf course with a nine iron on a stormy day. That should light up his life?

Somebody should remind the man baby that he has 12 days of vacation coming up that he needs to get to where he can just golf and eat shitty cheeseburgers instead of working. Or maybe, since Trump hasn’t done the actual job of being President since the day he entered office, any number of other people who have been doing the job for him can just sign it with his signature fat black magic marker.
