Some of us are wondering why Mitch McConnell wasn’t in the room, but the two dingbats Pelosi and Schumer were.

A shutdown doesn’t affect most people. Social Security checks still go out, Trump may leave the national parks and WH open. The biggest winners are the workers that get a vacation that is paid for when they return.

Please write, email or call Mitch and tell him you support a “shutdown” in order to get border wall funding. Maybe we can have some influence on him.

If you’d get to work there would be no shutdown.

STFU, Mitch. You had the majority in both the House and Senate and if you had funded the wall then this wouldn't be an issue.

IOW, it's your damned fault so don't whine about it.

That would have been 3 against 1.
With Pence as a neutral observer.

“for every dollar spent on illegal aliens”

The money goes to the anchor babies.

It’s amazing how a little baby can support a whole family with your tax dollars.

I think the American people, paying the taxes, want a shutdown. The US cannot afford the drain of illegal immigrants. But I guess Congress thinks we have unlimited resources.

Neither party’s leadership respect the President or fear the President. It’s time for that to change and the only way that will happen is for the President to stand his ground and either get his $5 billion or shut it down.

Trump told Senate Democratic Leader Charles Schumer (N.Y.) and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.)...he would accept the blame for a shutdown over border security.

**************

Trump should never have said that. He should never use the word ‘blame’ when it comes to protecting the country. Its his solemn responsibility to do that.

Saying he will accept blame is tacitly admitting there is something wrong with what he’s doing. Never, ever back down or give the Dems an inch. Keep them on the defensive at all times.

Mitch needs to change his nickname from The Turtle to The Jellyfish.

Trump has these political posturers on the run but never fear - the GOPe could flug up a wet dreem. These are not the people you want with you in a foxhole. They should be shoveling shit in Louisiana...

How tone deaf and galactically wrong can the Senate Majority Leader possibly be?

You were expecting a different outcome...?

LOL.

Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution. “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.”.

IOW, they’re compelled by the Constitution to protect the states against invasion. How are they doing folks? /s

California is all but conquered. The border states are turning blue quickly(almost conquered). We have well over 50 million illegal aliens and their demoncrat voting anchor baby demon spawn in the country.

We have a 6 trillion dollar corrupt stasi state and they REFUSE to protect America from invasion. Our fed govt is COMPLETELY CORRUPT AND ILLEGITIMATE

He didn’t say “accept the blame.” Watch the end. Fake news.

Saying he’s spineless implies that he wants a border wall but doesn’t have the spine to fight for it

I think the truth is, he doesn’t want a border wall , because big donors don’t want hit. He’s showing plenty of spine in fighting for big donors - against averag Americans

He’s not spineless, he’s a fighter for open borders

Mitch doesn’t realize that he will soon be gone and forgotten like Ted Kennedy and John McCain. NOBODY remembers Senators.

My 30 year old has no idea who Ted Kennedy even was and he lives in MASS?!

QUIT BEING SUCH A DRONE Mitch!
