So, apparently, the government is opening up again with a CR.


Schumer was more interested in wagging his finger at Trump saying "I hope he learned his lesson".


What a dick! HE was Pelosi's lapdog. He was just as guilty, as was she and Trump, for the shutdown.


They have 3 weeks. YAY! Everyone gets back pay from the taxpayer.


Once again the can has been kicked down the road.







The Congress has proven they no longer function for the people.




$1B on drones, 20M more illegal immigrants will poor through the border over the next 20 years.

He could have stuck to his guns a lot longer and a lot more people would be hurt (and a lot worse). You don't have to give him credit for being the one to throw in the towel, but I do. It's not enough credit to give me an overall favorable view of his job as president (if I were polled, I'd be one of those disapproving of the job he's doing). But it's a step in the right direction as far a I am concerned. If he works with Congress and negotiates border security with them (as in real negotiations of give and take) that would be another favorable step in my opinion.
It's called an analogy. The point is that you shouldn't get credit for "solving" a problem that was of your own making. If someone broke into your house and stole your belongings, would you give them credit for bringing them back?

Well for my family and friends we will get our back pay.

He WAS in a no win situation all right - one of his OWN CREATION!!!!!!
HE was the one who shut down the government to begin with and created all the pain.
HE did that because he's a DIMWIT.!!!!!
FINALLY after causing all that NEEDLESS pain it became obvious even to HIM that it was stupid to shut the government down so he reversed course and brought himself right back to where was to begin with.

What an idiot.

Wow you're a dense one. If Mexico pays for the wall I doubt you'd get any objections. After all your God did promise they would pay. This has nothing to do with Dem's, Republicans and or Independents. It's a Trump problem. Everyone agree with border security but not in the form of a wall.

Definitely not CNN. I was flipping between PBS news, BBC news, and CBS news. Didn't pay attention to which the tape package aired on.

They did edit in footage from one of the border patrol's drones. They want more.

Conservatives are not giving him "credit" BTW.

I really hope that Trump knows if he backs down on this that a lot of his base voters might have urgent business on November 3, 2020, like taking a dump or something, and not bother to vote.

Yet, Trump dug himself in and once Nancy Pelosi was sworn in as Speaker she pretty much owned him on this. There are no two ways about this. President Trump could not even get back to the 1.6 billion dollars Dems originally agreed to back in Nov.

That is getting abused politically and I don’t see how this benefits the argument of securing the border or playing to Trump’s base. The die-hard Trump supporters just watched him get owned by Pelosi in the State of the Union showdown and now this in just 24 hours.

If he shuts it down in 3 weeks, I guess all those not getting paid can show up at Mar a Lago, eat a nice meal with their families, and accept the easy credit he was so sure they could get from the community.
