Trump Threatens Government Shutdown Over Border Wall Funding
President Donald Trump threatened Tuesday to bring the U.S. government to the brink of a shutdown if needed to pressure Congress into funding the border wall that was a centerpiece of his 2016 campaign.

How many times did he say Mexico was going to pay for the wall? Course I had sense enough to know
that was total BS!

China is going to pay for the wall by increasing tariffs on them...

Mexico is going to pay for the wall by raising taxes for their products...

LOL we all know what that means. Us citizens will be paying for it, whether we like it or not. Let's hope he's out by mid 2018 latest and we can halt whatever progress there is on the wall, if there is any done at all. Lol

Just like Obama, Bush, etc. US citizens invariably end up with the ****e end of the deal.

Is there any other country where their government consistently puts their own citizens last?

I'm fine with tax payer money being used for the wall. It's an investment that pays for itself.

Of course, if we didn't have ****** politicians, we wouldn't need a wall. But for some reason, our ******* politicians won't allow our laws to be enforced.

If there's a price to buy a politician, they will be bought, like most politicians are. There are some out there that won't be bought, but at the same time, they won't get huge money support like other candidates would.

There's a reason why Bernie didn't win. He wasn't bringing in the big money from corporations and individuals like Hillary was.

The only one who will not pay for the wall is the Trump family. They will annex the AMT and keep the real estate depriciation breaks that they benefit off of. Bend over trump supporters.

I agree. Get rid of the criminals and maybe it will be safe to wear our wedding rings again.
