Let us be clear. President Trump cannot shut down the federal government!

Must always defend all things Trump!

Let’s face it - Dumpster Donnie will fume, fuss, scream, and throw tantrums in front of cameras, but when he sees a bill come across his desk he will sign it and claim complete victory - regardless of what is in the bill.

BREAKING: Speaker Ryan says President Trump will not sign short-term continuing resolution passed by Senate. nbcnews.to/2AiA8IT https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/1075819766823178240/video/1

Paul Ryan looks exhausted and probably can’t wait to get out of the DC madhouse. Too bad his legacy is a train wreck.

LOL! Even Rush says the President will shut the government down if he doesn’t get his wall funding.

But nice try,

Well, Rush seems to be wrong on this one.

Pelosi, Schumer go off on Trump in fiery press conference

Chuck Schumer stomps his feet, holds his breath, and while turning blue he promises to shut down government by not passing the spending bill in the Senate which will be sent over from the House!

So, as it turns out, it is Chuck-boy Schumer who has promised to shut down the government. Surprise, surprise, surprise! Who would have known?

Illegal immigration is now costing American citizens over $18 billion a year in healthcare costs alone, far more than the measly $5 billion asked for to build a wall! LINK

House approves spending bill with $5.7B for border wall

The House of Representatives Thursday approved a bill that would fund most of the federal government through early February – and provides $5.7 billion for President Trump’s long-promised border wall – increasing the chances of a partial government shutdown later this week.

So now, Chucky-boy Schumer gets the chance to prevent the Bill’s passage in the Senate, like he promised, and close the government down, before President Trump gets the chance to close the government down.

The bottom line is, the Democrat Party Leadership, Chucky-boy Schumer and Nancy-Botox-Pelosi, got snookered on this one

He said he would be responsible at that televised meeting with Pelosi and Schumer. We all heard him.

He lied. It takes two sides to not pass a funding bill. Neither can block it by themselves.

The Senate did pass a CR to fund the govt through February. I believe it was even unanimous. The President said he wouldn’t sign it. The End.

[Munimula1]

For once, I think he wasn’t lying- he was accepting responsibility for whatever happens. You’d better believe he would have taken credit if he got his stupid wall money.

Did you see what McConnell said about Mattis? https://twitter.com/kasie/status/1075945554683797504

And now, Chucky-boy Schumer must block the passage of the bill in then Senate like he promised, making him the one who closes down the government. Or, he can do what is right and allow passage of the Bill and give Trump the $5.7 Billion to build the wall which will end our country being invaded by the poverty stricken populations of other countries, end human trafficking, stop the flow of criminals and drugs into our country at our southern border, and keep known terrorists from sneaking across our border ___ all of which promotes the general welfare of the United States and her citizens!

Kill the filibuster once and for all! Lets do it!

Personally, I think it would be funny if Mitch kills the filibuster, and then he STILL can’t get the votes to fund the wall.

I honestly wouldn’t care either way… Just makes Nancy Pelosi more powerful for the next two years if they kill the filibuster… Then in 2020, when the DNC takes the senate and house, medicare for all… 51 votes…

As GWB used to say… strategery…

In fact, President Trump can only veto a bill not containing money to build a wall and secure our border. This of course places the ball in Congress’ court and forces them to override his veto with a two-thirds vote in each House. By not overriding the President’s veto, Congress would be shutting down government, not President Trump!

Looks like Trump has the cards and can snooker the open border crowd in Congress with a veto.

Did you not pay attention when tiny trump clearly stated that it will be on him and that he’s ok with that?

@Munimula1

And he seems to have snookered Pelosi and Schumer who would be closing down government if they cannot override the President’s veto, or wont agree to add $5.5 billion to finance building the wall and send the bill back to the President.

All president Trump has to do if a bill comes to him without funding for the wall, is to hold a news conference and tell the American People

"I want to give House and Senate members a second chance to confirm they do not want to protect our borders from an ongoing invasion which is overwhelming American citizens with the poverty stricken populations of other countries, which includes their criminals, includes human trafficking, drugs and known terrorists.

If I had the power to shut down government over this national security concern, I would do it. But all I can do is veto this bill and give Congress a second chance to reconsider including a measly $5.5 BILLION to finance securing our border which is providing for the general welfare of the United States and protecting her citizens from an ongoing invasion.

Keep in mind that Illegal immigration is now costing American citizens over $18 billion a year in healthcare costs alone, far more than the cost of building a wall! And with that I will now veto this bill and send it back to Congress"

JWK

So you don’t think tiny trump’s words have meaning?

[wonderingrover]

It would be really funny if Trump vetoes the spending bill, then congress votes to override his veto.

Unlikely to happen, but I’d love to see Trump’s twitter fingers explode if it did happen.
