Trumpers are gonna think Dems are being irrational and vice versa, this is gonna set a great precedent for the next two years... Hopefully the direct impact this has on federal workers will turn some against him.

Trump doesn't want to play politics anymore. He is taking his ball and going home. Trump will shut down the US until you can have an election and legally remove him.

The house should pass this bill on the daily. Eventually, maybe everyone who's not paying close attention will say " the House keeps passing the bill...your move, Senate"

Trump was taught to walk away from deals in the hopes that the other side will capitulate to him. Unfortunately he's never had to deal with somebody who wasn't in negotiations purely for self profit or business motives. It's sad but also kinda hilarious to see him act this way with Kelly and other top officials out of the room. This shit is just gonna get worse and worse.

Who cares?

55% of the public blames Trump and the GOP. Only the hardcore 33% blame Democrats.

Only 25% of the public supports shutting down the government over the wall, which means not even the whole MAGA base is onboard.

We're in the stronger position.

This is like if a mafia member drove up to a store, threatened to break their windows if they didn't pay up, and when they said no proceeded to smash one of the store's windows and one of his car's windows, before threatening to do it again tomorrow
Then the AP comes along and says the store's at fault too for not paying up.

We need to stop letting crazy people take the wheel of the oval office. Anyway, it's great seeing Pelsoi is standing her ground on this issue.

It'll last until McConnel gets the gumption to allow a vote on a widely popular bill.

McConnel is just as much to blame for all this, if not moreso since Trump is an idiot man-child so our exceptions of him remain zero.

Ding ding.

Turtle is too busy covering for Donny Two Scoops Bone Spurs to actually do his fucking job.

McConnell's legacy will be that he completely broke the Senate. And unlike the idiot in chief, he knows what he's doing.

Nancy Pelosi is the only adult in DC. Seriously, the wall is Florida Man level dumb. Every Repub who supports it just comes off as a complete moron.

And thats going to be her downfall.


Money is going to hurt a lot of americans. The dems have to cave, because they have rules of engagement.

It takes two to function in democracy. The gop is not interested in this at all, unless it serves them 100%. 2016 sort of ended america as we know it.

They need to insist future meetings are recorded. Trump is giving them sound bites to use for the next decade.

This may be sort of off topic but I am sort of surprised how poorly edited the reports/live updates are from cnn. Scrolling through their updates there are constant typos, poorly worded sentences, and inaccuracies such as stating that Chuck Schumer is the Senate Majority Leader. I know they want to get this stuff out there but it looks like it is coming out completely unedited.

So, what happens now?

We wait. We'll see who caves first. I've got money on Dems caving first because eventually they'll realize they can't morally allow the government to be shutdown for years due to all of the expense and damage to the American people.

Trump and the republicans have no such concerns.

We were elected partly to oppose this wall. A majority of the public blames Trump and the Republicans.

Wait to see if Senate Republicans force McConnell to fold and bring a vote? The clock is ticking fast. The previous longest shutdown was 21 days and I think we're on day 19 now? State of the Union is coming up. SNAP funds will run out at the end of January so millions of people will be starving.

Reminder of who Trump thinks should get fired in this situation:

The worst part about this isn't Trump being an insane, immature shithead, it's that the Republicans are allowing it and giving him cover. Human Intestinal Blockage Mitch McConnell is physically incapable of doing the right thing at any point in his rotten, shameful life.

Hey now, that's an insult to intestinal blockage.

Mitch is more equivalent to a bunch of cancer cells that became sentient. He's a group of cells that are negligent in their responsibilities and needs to be removed for the health of the body.
