I don't understand this issue of the wall. Just make Mexico pay for it. That's what his presidential campaign was based on.

But LOL @ lefties criticising Trump for pulling out of a pointless war.

Who's celebrating?
I asked if that means Trump was right....Pelosi's position was an implication that the votes weren't there in the house. A few days later the move was made and indeed the votes WERE there in the house, setting up the senate show down.
Pelosi's postion was that mushroom dick doesn't have the votes. She didn't say 'house', she didn't say 'senate'... she said "votes" (to pass - i.e easily could refer to the 60 needed).

And lo and behold:

Senate GOP Not Willing to Give Up Filibuster for Trump's Stupid Border Wall
Many Senate Republicans, however, do not want to go nuclear. A spokesperson for Mitch McConnell noted this morning that Republicans flat out don’t have the votes to do it in the first place.

“The Leader has said for years that the votes are not there in the Conference to use the nuclear option,” McConnell communications director David Popp told the Hill. “Just this morning, several Senators put out statements confirming their opposition, and confirming that there is not a majority in the conference to go down that road.”
The "Trump shutdown" she warned him about, begins. Donny Underwood gambled and lost.

I dont think anyone has an issue with Trump pulling out, I think its the lack of planning and teamwork among allies that went into the decision that has most shaking their heads.

US government begins partial shutdown, after senate rejects border wall funding
The US government is partially shutting down, after President Donald Trump failed to get enough support for funding his US-Mexico border wall.

Trump demanded US$5 billion (NZ$7.5b) to start erecting his cherished Mexican border wall, a chaotic postscript for Republicans in the waning days of their two-year reign controlling government.

This is the third time Trump's Government has shut down in 2018.

US Vice President Mike Pence, Trump son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner and White House budget chief Mick Mulvaney left the Capitol late Friday (Saturday NZ time) after hours of bargaining with congressional leaders produced no apparent compromise. "We don't have a deal. We're still talking," Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Richard Shelby, told reporters.

Late Friday (local time), Mulvaney sent agency heads a memorandum telling them to "execute plans for an orderly shutdown". He wrote that administration officials were "hopeful that this lapse in appropriations will be of short duration" - an expectation that was widely shared.


With negotiations expected to continue, the House and Senate both scheduled rare Saturday (local time) sessions. House members were told they'd get 24 hours' notice before a vote.

The gridlock blocks money for nine of 15 Cabinet-level departments and dozens of agencies, including the departments of Homeland Security, Transportation, Interior, Agriculture, State and Justice.

The lack of funds will disrupt many government operations and the routines of 800,000 federal employees. Roughly 420,000 workers were deemed essential and will work unpaid just days before Christmas, while 380,000 will have leave, meaning they'll stay home without pay.



Those with leave include nearly everyone at Nasa and 52,000 workers at the Internal Revenue Service. About eight in 10 employees of the National Park Service will stay home and many parks were expected to close.

The Senate passed legislation ensuring workers will receive back pay, which the House seemed sure to approve.

Some agencies, including the Pentagon and the departments of Veterans Affairs and Health and Human Services, were already funded for the year in agreements reached earlier, and they will operate as usual.

Just like he thinks planes that don’t show up on radar, are actually invisible. He thinks there are actual “coyotes” crossing the border illegally. It would be so fascinating to hear Donald Trunp just speak off script. He is incredibly insane/stupid. You get a taste of it on Twitter and that is bananas enough but you know there are huge insane pockets in his mind and blind spots in his knowledge that a 10 year old understands. He might believe in Santa, or think dragons or real. He might think that pee is stored in the balls. I’m hoping he starts writing insane letters to the media from jail. Like a retarded uni-bomber.

This is the president of the United States. He’s such a hilarious clown, look at the smug arrogance on his face as if he’s acts like he’s explaining something complicated a bunch of morons who will never unserstand what he is trying to explain.

He’s like a Will Ferrell character, insanely stupid but insanely confident. It really makes me think that his mental disorders cause him to believe his own lies. No sane person can stand in front of a room filled with people smarter than they are and talk down to them while pretending to understand something you have no idea about. He will walk up to a microphone and say that, he’s 7 feet tall, without any sign of self doubt. It’s fascinating.

:eek:

I don't even .....


I'm wondering if I should feel sorry for that stupid lady and the dumb servicemen & women who just sat there and laughed nervously. That was their moment to expose him and teach him something he clearly doesn't know. Instead they're all laughing nervously like "did he really mean that?". Yes, yes he does. He is the ultimate MAGAtard which explains his base.

Asked Who 'Gets Fired' During Obama Shutdown, Trump Told Fox News: The President
“Who’s getting fired? Who’s going to bear the brunt of the responsibility if indeed there is a government shutdown?” she asked Trump, who had called in to the program.

“If you say who gets fired it always has to be the top,” Trump responded. “Problems start from the top and they have to get solved from the top. And the president’s the leader. He’s got to get everyone in a room and he’s gotta lead. But he doesn’t do that,” Trump added, referring to Obama.

“And that’s why you have this horrible situation going on in Washington. It’s a very, very bad thing and it’s very embarrassing worldwide.”

He also noted that when people look back on a shutdown in history, they’re “going to be talking about ... who the president was at that time. They’re not going to be talking about who was the head of the House, the head of the Senate, who’s running things in Washington.”
