Trump vows 'very long' government shutdown over border wall

Trump says a lot of things. Do you take them all as the gospel truth, or --conveniently-- just when it serves your purpose?

He took that blame upon himself. Whether you believe it or not the Senate hasn't found majority vote on the wall funding- something that could have been avoided if Trump had signed the deal that he said he would so that he and Congress Democrats could find common ground and most importantly not shutdown the government. I dont take all he says as the gospel truth but i will very well hold him accountable when he does something stupid and people like you see it fit to deflect his bad decisions on other.

The American people just bitch slapped the Republicans. Or did you forget that there was an election?

Walls are not effective border security. But you and your God-Emperor are having a temper tantrum because Democrats won't let him do whatever he wants.

No blue wave... just the typical occurrence... except Republicans picked up seats in the Senate.

Trump ran on the wall as a priority from Day 1... June 16, 2015.

Walls have worked everywhere they have been tried. Though most everything they tried failed spectacularly, even the Communists had a near perfect record of achievement with their walls.

Like you do? Trump's word has been worthless for decades. He was schooled into claiming the shutdown by actual politicians. Look at the title of this thread. Who is promising a long shutdown when a bipartisan agreement has been on the table for weeks?

Chuck Shumer, for one.

What Trump said or didn't say is irrelevant. The majority in Congress wants the bill to pass, and Chuck Schumer is going to filibuster. To say he shares none of the blame for the shutdown is either ignorance, stupidity, or both.
 
Taylor said:
Did you not follow the news on that one? It didn't have wall funding.

But you do make a good point. Senate Republicans did everything they could to avert a shutdown, Democrats did not and share in the blame.

Um, wasn’t the Senate vote unanimous? So how can you blame the Democrats?

So which is it, was it a slow recovery or one so fast all the programs funded to combat the recession couldn't be spent in time to suit you? I think it's you that has bought right wing propaganda hook line and sinker. -sad

If the money wasn't spent as recovery.org shows how did Obama bring us out of recession like you claim? what is your definition of a shovel ready job? Maybe those shovels didn't arrive for three years!!
 
Irwin Corey said:
Ha ha ha; your so funny.

Now, the truth IS the Democrats have tried to compromise and HAVE offered increased funding for boarder security in exchange for "COMPROMISE" on DACA and other issues; they, as the majority of Americans, just don't think spending us into debt over a wall, that few believe will work, is the right choice and won't do it.

Of course democrats who stubbornly support open borders do not think a wall will work.

Except that that is a moronic talking point fed to the low intellect Trump lemming. Can you name at least 6 people who support open borders and have influence?

Government workers not getting paid doesn’t sound like a negative to me. Th governments too big and has too many workers anyway. I’m not shedding any tears that my money isn’t going to support them. Maybe they can quit and go to private sector and actually contribute to society for a change

If the agreement was made between the Dems and hop and Trump didn't like the agreement, why should he sign something he is not in agreement with?

Hey T-13:

Be advised - The Left "reasons" (if the concept even applies) with feelings.

They live in the moment.

It "feels" good to overpay non essential employees, as it is a job opportunity for the otherwise unemployable "Gender Non Specific Dance Theory Major".

Keep up the good work.

The Caravan mocks the Mexican Government.

They will pay again after the Caravan(s) is/are done slapping them around.

Trump knew he did not have the votes in the Senate and still refused to sign the CR to keep the Govt. open. It's all on him just like he said it would be.
 
Of course you can't see what you post is nonsense - That is a Catch 22. (Again)

Therefore, your apology must be accepted.
 
It amounts to a TWO WEEK paid vacation. The longer the shutdown, the longer the paid vacation.

They keep the Holiday leave, Annual leave, Sick leave, and Military leave.

US President Donald Trump has threatened a "very long" government shutdown if Democrats do not fund his long-promised border wall.

In a series of tweets, Mr Trump demanded $5.7bn (£4.5bn), which was passed by the House of Representatives, but is expected to fail in the Senate.
==========================================
He had Tweeted that the shutdown would start today. I would not call his actions 'leadership.'

Most illegals are legal when they cross. Do not fund the wall. Let the government be shut down forever if that's what it takes.
 
Pesky Government Contractors.

In Socialism, we could split that 5 Billion, $14.00/legal.
