Pelosi, Schumer to meet with Trump, offer $1.3 billion for border as shutdown looms

Democratic leaders plan to offer President Trump $1.3 billion in funding for a border fence when they meet Tuesday at the White House, a bid that falls far short of the $5 billion Trump is demanding to fund a border wall.

Democrats, Republicans and the White House have until Dec. 21 to reach a budget deal if they are to avert a partial government shutdown, but talks are deadlocked over funding for the wall.

As House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) prepare for the Tuesday morning, Democrats and Trump are, if anything, moving further apart....

Does Pelosi find The Wall around the Vatican to be Immoral?

As Immoral as the Walls surrounding her many Properties I’m sure.

Ax I ask anyone who promotes Open Borders, do you have Exterior Doors on your House? If so, I’ll come over and help you take them off the Hinges.

A door is but a short (x-axis) part of a Wall.

This is probably the most important fight of our lifetimes, and we better not lose it.

Already lost it. There were record numbers of illegals this month after the President put the military on the border and promised they would not be allowed in. Oh and another Judge said he had to let them in and they run the country because he obeyed the illegal interference in his lawful duties, setting a permanent precedent apparently.

The President must go rogue and remove some of his friends or we all sink in his ship. No President should cede his power to four hundred judges. In another matter Justice Thomas was outraged today with his new colleagues.

Hold the line, full funding or the government shuts down. And make sure that furloughed, “non-essential” employees do NOT get back pay when a deal is reached. This should not be a vacation for these people, as government shutdowns have been in the past. Shut it down 3 months, who cares, voters are fickle and will forget in a few months anyway...won’t affect 2020.

No reason the GOP could not pass a supplemental funding the entire wall this week. Except that they are infested with chickensh*t s.

Maybe I’m not such an expert deal-maker, but I’d take the money now, and get it going. Many on the left will think Pelosi has sold them out by cooperating with Trump on this issue. I don’t mind fomenting division in their ranks on this.

Chuck and Nancy have to face the fact that if there is a shutdown the videos of them and Frankenstein and Obongo the Lesser (both as a senator and a president) telling the American people that we need to control our southern border and get a handle on illegal aliens. They were saying that exact thing back 8-10 years ago.

Those videos will be played and copied and played again. The American people will understand that the DemonRats shutdown our country for something which they supported a short time ago.

The American people want and deserve to feel safe within their own borders. A shutdown won't play well and it will only sensitize a whole lot of voters if it comes to pass.

Trump should raise his demand by $1.3B a day until they comply.

A simple chain link fence- 2 rows with a 50 yard sand track between them ( to spot footprints )

Patrolled day and night with infra-red cameras every mile and rapid response teams

If Trump doesn’t get the wall at very least majorly funded and started - his chances of reelection will be far far tougher.

It was his core issue, his base voted him in on it - if he has to shut the government down for two years because of them open borders commie pieces of crap then he MUST do it.

Playing politics and playing nice has not worked - time is running out. It needs to be built NOW.
