Stop with these sob stories

The president should do the state of the union from his office or in New York just kidding. But I’m sorry this is a pathetic joke Nancy should have known better. If you made the president shutdown and, then you decided to go to something I’m sorry but you’re in the same situation as everyone. So I suggest to stop being a fool and come to the table and ask the president for deal that trump has a upper hand

It's interesting that you call it an upper hand when that hand is being supported by working class people whose lives have been destroyed by his hostage drama, one whose effects and consequences his hand is well insulated from.
In fact, the White House water bill is something like $5,000,000.00 in arrears if the report from the DC Water utility is to be believed, and yet no one has made the move to cut off the water supply to the White House...yet.

And now you demand that we "come to the table and ask for a deal", from a hostage taker, believing that he will go and sin no more and never ever take another.

Put your jammies on so we can tell you another bedtime story, the one about a despot who takes bigger and bigger hostages again and again because he has discovered that it's a tactic that produces the results he wants.

And then, tomorrow, when you wake up, you will perhaps learn that not only has this despot expended all of his remaining political capital with this stunt, he's actually in arrears, and that the reality based community is preparing to cut him off.

This man is behaving like a recalcitrant cur who refuses to stop crapping on the living room rug.
Time to housebreak the dog.

What are you talking about
 
Trump stayed in DC, waiting - no one came.

No one came because they want to be politically correct and, I don’t understand where they are getting it where they have a right to be here
 
And stop funding white house security . cooks, and maintenance.

You know it’s funny if this was Hillary you would call the Federal Bureau Of Investigation and the acu because Republicans were being sexist

What does gender have to do with it? That is a silly argument.
 
One could say Pelosi is taking 800,000 workers hostage over not wanting to pass a bill that provides funding for a wall. Or senate democrats who filibustered a bill that was passed in the house back in December, they filibustered a bill and caused this shutdown harming 800,000 workers but they arnt the bad guy in your mind.


One cannot say that any more one could say someone who is raped is the reason for being raped.
 
This is a pathetic joke I’m sorry because we’re a nation of LAW! WE SHOULD ENFORCE THE BORDERS. THIS SHOULD BE DUMB DOWN BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THE DEMOCRATS WHO VOTE WITH FEELINGS CANT UNDERSTAND. THE SIMPLE UNDERSTANDABLE. THE WALL WILL STOP JUMPERS AND MAKE PEOPLE COME IN LEGALLY THOUGH A GATE! BUT OBVIOUSLY THE DEMOCRATS CUT THEIR EARS OFF
 
Yes, really. It might mean a great deal to you, but not to the people you are freaking out about.

You know what is funny that everyone sounded like trump? A Clinton who was a president who said illegal immigration are not going to be tolerated but then here comes trump and every liberal is throwing a two year old tantrum because he is going to stop the political correctness because people gotten hurt over it but whatever the democrats doesn’t care about others then their feelings and immigrants. We don’t have a problem? Define trespassing because I cannot wrap my head around this

I love how you try to misrepresent things. Do you do that on purpose?

No, one should call it this:

extortion.webp
 
Vaguely straw mannish, but okay.
Given the way the democrats have been acting all this time. Are you really going to just sit there and act this blind?

No matter what you say, you know that he isn't entirely responsible for this.
It was stupid of the democrats to call his bluff in the first place given what kind of person he is in the first place.

I'm just glad Trump hasn't subverted his own government to get his way yet.
if the democrats cave on this issue then tRump will threaten to close government in every subsequent instance he does not get what he wants

I guess you are going to give me a education and I’m open for that

Pelosi won't pass a wall-funding bill because the majority of we the people don't want to pay for the wall. Trump foolishly made it his "signature issue" and promised his base that Mexico would pay for it. She's doing the right thing, IMO.
 
Yes, really. It might mean a great deal to you, but not to the people you are freaking out about.

Are you not aware that you're having a battle of wits with an unarmed person? It's like beating your head against a brick wall ... it feels so good when you stop.

:stop:
 

So why did he choose the wording of his speech? He threw in that He pointed out that the jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. He said the public services they use impose burdens on our taxpayers.

He ended with: “We are a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws. It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years, and we must do more to stop it.”

It’s funny how we’ve to play politics because we all know that there are clips out there talking about how illegal immigration wouldn’t be acceptable but now oh boohoo our feelings over politics. Did you cry when Katie ask her father to help her? Probably praise the shooter as a innocent thug
 
Yes Just because the Dems keep their word and Trump doesn't is no reason to blame Trump. The Dems promised Trump before the shutdown that they would not negotiate until the govt. opened. They are keeping their word. In Dec.Trump promised McConnell that he would sign the bill he passed to keep the govt. open. Trump lied.

I haven't seen proof of much else, other then blustering from both sides.
 
So the Republicans controlled everything in Washington for the first 2 years of Trump's presidency. During that time, they could have appropriated as much money as they wanted for Trump's wall using budget reconciliation which would have only required a simple majority and there is nothing the Democrats could have done about it. Yet the Republicans didn't.

Then during a lame duck session, Trump and the Republicans shut down the government for a wall that those Republicans had 2 years they could have appropriated the money for using budget reconciliation with a simple majority that the Democrats could not have blocked. Yet, the Democrats are equally to blame? There is a reason why the vast majority of Americans do not share your view on this.

You do know that they couldn't just up and do whatever they wanted, right?

Our government simply doesn't' work like that. At least not in a legal capacity.
 
Didn't make anything up. Your boy is a narcissistic scumbag who initially took the blame for what is now the longest US government shut down. He repeatedly stated during Obama's presidency its the fault of the president when a shut down occurs. Poor leadership. It sure describes 5 deferment cadet fake bone spurs. Its all on tape.

If all you can do is call Trump that, then it's obvious you're not really interested in intellectual discussion. Because seeing as his documentation for not going is completely legitimate. It just makes you look like a whining child, about ever time you say it.

What he said during Obama's presidency and what is happening now, does not absolve him of any guilt in this. Which has already been pointed out. Unlike you however, I'm not going to choose to ignore the democrats own doing in all of this. It's unfortunate that I must remind you we have a two party system in the US.
 
if the democrats cave on this issue then tRump will threaten to close government in every subsequent instance he does not get what he wants

I would ask if you have a way of actually proving that, other then voicing it as an opinion.

Because people had the same fear about Obama after he wrote one damn executive order.
