Pelosi on negotiations with Trump: ‘Nothing for the wall’

Likely next House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) reaffirmed that Democrats will not give in to President Trump’s demand for $5 billion for a border wall as part of any legislation to end a partial government shutdown.

“Nothing for the wall,” she said in an interview for NBC’s “Today” show set to air Thursday morning.

Democrats, who will officially take the House majority on Thursday, have repeatedly said they will not include any funding for a border wall as part of a spending bill to end the shutdown, which entered its 12th day Wednesday.

Pelosi and other congressional leaders huddled with the president at the White House Wednesday for an ultimately fruitless negotiation to try to bridge the differences between the two ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.

However, Trump has shown no signs of letting up on his desire to attain funding for his signature campaign promise, saying at a Cabinet meeting Wednesday, “The United States needs a physical barrier. It needs a wall,” adding that parts of the government will remain closed for “as long as it takes.”

Democrats plan to vote on legislation Thursday that would end the shutdown, but without border wall money.

“We are asking the president to open up the government,” Pelosi said outside the White House following Wednesday’s meeting. “We are giving him a Republican path to do that. Why would he not do it?”

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has already said the bill is a “non-starter,” and Trump invited congressional leaders to return to the White House on Friday to continue negotiations.

The White House last week proposed roughly $2.1 billion in wall funding plus hundreds of millions more for general border security, but Democratic leaders did not respond to the proposal. However, Trump said Wednesday he would reject that amount regardless of what Democrats decide, sticking to his demand for $5 billion.

Now Nan is going to set loose her inner bitch.

[C210N]

We need to use her negotiating approach, and apply to PP, NPR, dept of energy, dept of education, EPA...

[treetopsandroofs]

Tuna Nan has 99.9999999% of Big Media and EVERY Rat voter behind her.

This is the battle we MUST win against our domestic enemies, who despise America and all for which we stand.

[Truth29]

Pelosi is saying that she will get Americans killed rather than fund the wall. She has blood on her hands and should be treated as a domestic enemy.

I wonder how many illegals are working in her vineyards and restaurants?

Probably not as many as work for Trump properties.

[butlerweave]

Nancy will have no trouble with trillions of dollars for the New Green deal ,LOL

[alloysteel]

Still out there busting her horns, I see.

Intransigence can end only one of two ways. Capitulation, or long-term irrelevance (perhaps both).

I don’t see Trump as arriving at either of those options.

[JoSixChip]

I can’t see how this is a good mover for her. She voted for a boarder wall just a few years ago?

[heshtesh]

I’m very pleased the meeting went exactly as I thought it would.

[DoodleDawg]

She voted for a boarder wall just a few years ago?

In exchange for DACA protections. I don't think that's on the table this time around.

[tet68]

Trump said Wednesday he would reject that amount regardless of what Democrats decide, sticking to his demand for $5 billion.

This week, next week $7.5 billion.
The week after $10 billion.

Shut it down, build the wall!

Suggestions for how to put pressure on the bee-yotch?

A huge champion of the poor, Nancy Pelosi’s $22 million Napa home boasts tennis courts and a Bocci ball court. She is lucky enough to also have a helicopter landing pad.

Being poor is GREAT! Just not for Nancy...

A political creation of unions, she employs ZERO union people at her vineyard and at her luxurious bed & breakfast, Auberge de Soleil, where a buger and fries will set you back $22 before tax and tip. The overnight to stay here runs $1,325. Oh, and that's for the BARGAIN room, by the way.

The same is true of the 16-branch, upscale restaurant chain Pelosi partners in, Piatti, located in 5 states in the USA, shown below. Of the nearly 1,000 employees working there, ZERO are members of a union.

Employing union people is FANTASTIC..!!! Just not for Nancy.

Must be nice, huh?

Let’s take a look at a different branch of Piatti, the photo below shows their branch nestled in La Jolla:

Pelosi also played a critical role in exempting American Samoa, where 80% of the island works for Starkist Tuna, from a mandatory minimum wage hike, from $5.35 per hour. Advocate For The Poor Pelosi is a major Starkist shareholder, you see.

Bad working conditions, and $5.35 each hour. Sorry Charlie..!

In a single year the bar tab for Pelosi’s huge government plane exceeded $100,000 —one time she diverted it over 1,000 miles in order to pick up a single order of chocolate-dipped strawberries.

In Feb 2018 Chris Matthews claimed the GOP's strategy to maintain its congressional majority was to relentlessly attack Nancy "because she is an ethnic sort of person".

Behold the highly ethnic, hard-scrabble Pelosi clan below, decked out in gangsta finery in South Central Napa Valley:

Bitch didn’t get filthy rich on her salary, must be lots and lots of skeletons in her closet. It’s past time for the Republicans to start playing the game the same way as the democraps. Feinstein and all the other big mouth bitches, yes I include Schumer, too!

“My proposition is this: A vast number of Americans who oppose legalization and fear new waves of immigration would change their minds if we could radically reduce new — i.e., future — illegal immigration. Forget employer sanctions. Build a barrier. It is simply ridiculous to say it cannot be done. If one fence won’t do it, then build a second 100 yards behind it. And then build a road for patrols in between. Put in cameras. Put in sensors. Put out lots of patrols.”
