Donald Trump: Democrat Shutdown a ‘Nice Present’ for One Year Anniversary as President
breitbart ^ | CHARLIE SPIERING

President Donald Trump boasted that the Democrats were giving him a political gift after they voted against a bill that would fund the government late Friday night. “This is the One Year Anniversary of my Presidency and the Democrats wanted to give me a nice present,” Trump wrote on Twitter with the hashtag #DemocratShutdown.

Trump challenged Democrats for focusing more on amnesty for illegal immigrants than funding the government.

“Democrats are far more concerned with Illegal Immigrants than they are with our great Military or Safety at our dangerous Southern Border,” he wrote. “They could have easily made a deal but decided to play Shutdown politics instead.”

On Friday afternoon, Trump met with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer over cheeseburgers at the White House to discuss a possible deal, but it was ultimately rejected.

To go with the security services (i.e.; border security) you need a support mechanism. That’s where I and my coworkers in HR come in.

Laptop and phone are turned off, and the work I had pending when I left on Friday will still be there when I get back from furlough. I won’t have too many emails to go through since we aren’t supposed to be emailing each other, and all the packages I have pending with the hiring center will pick up where they left off. It’s almost like freezing time.

I know the drill.

How do Democrats spell stupid?

Schumer

The Republicans were going to hand you a 6-year CHIP renewal for nothing.

Now you and maybe McConnell and Ryan will learn the art of the deal from the master.

OMG, OMG, OMG, hair on fire, what will happen????
The FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is shut down.
Lets see what the rule book (Constitution) says.
https://usconstitution.net/xconst_Am10.html

U.S. Constitution - Amendment 10
Amendment 10 - Powers of the States and People

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Whew, so that which the FEDERAL government does, against the Constitution, can be given back to the States, oe We The People!

Glad everything is going to be okay. Thanks Chuck!

The Democrats, of course, think this will simply “blow over” by late summer, and “nobody will remember” their perfidy and double-talk.

Schumer Shutdown, now and forever.

Dems put illegal aliens ahead of our military, our safety, our laws.
Dems put illegals ahead of the citizens when felonies are committed by these illegal aliens.

One of thousands of reasons we call them RATs. They deserve nothing kinder.

Also, that mascot is not a donkey.

The dirty little secret is that the Republicans probably can’t even get the 51 votes, let alone 60.

Trump set a trap with this DACA thing and the Dems walked right into it. He is going to go to town on this.

not squishy like our two Arizona embarrassments.

Well, you folks need to start working now to replace both of them. That opportunity will be coming up fast.

He will "fundamentally change this country"?

If it’s in such a passive mood and condition as to allow it.

If Congress doesn’t want to work, that’s fine. Let’s fly to DC, storm into the buildings that WE payed for, and lock these treasonous, whining sonsabitches out.

The vote was 50/49, one abstaining. (McCain) ....McConnell voted no, so he can bring it back up for reconsideration.

Didn’t the 50 include 3-4 Democrats?

Yes.

There were several RINO traitors, plus Rand Paul.
