Ah, the mis-informed. they are trying to bet the bill passed NOW and the repubs STILL HOLD THE MAJOITY until Jan when the new House is sworn in.


"but yesterday she came off controlled, sure of her stance" We must have seen DIFFERENT videos of the meeting.


I saw her pandering to the cameras and would NOT address Trump directly.

It wasn't the taxpayer's fault, the government can't get their act together.
I haven't forgiven the GOP shutdown of 2013 which left my husband stranded across the country while working for the federal government.

Every shutdown is ridiculous. This isn't how our government is supposed to work. This is how bratty toddlers behave.

I'm not mis-informed. I may not be convinced the House Republicans will vote for the wall but I am NOT mis-informed. I know exactly why Trump is panicked. He realized he blew the last 22 months and should have tried to get the wall way before 3 weeks before the Dems take control of the House. That's obvious. What is not obvious -- is that he has the support he says he has.

There seems to be some disagreement whether or not the Republican House will pass this bill. Pelosi called Trump's bluff -- let's see if he takes a vote. That's the only way Trump can prove he has the votes. It also would help to give his call for a deal some leverage. Right now though -- there is a belief that there aren't the votes.

Of course she wasn't going to address Trump directly. She knew how to play to the cameras. I thought you all liked the show -- that's why you enjoy the Trump rallies.

She realized that this was not about conflict resolution but Trump thought it would be a great opportunity to perform....so she did.

Trump claimed 10 minutes the vote will done and he will have the support.

Do it - -just do it.

* Tariffs
* Drug Money confiscation
* Fines on illegal immigrants
* Currency devaluations

Glad I could set the record straight, again.

By the way considering that the government is borrowing roughly 2 billion dollars EVERY DAY to stay in business, the entire wall could be paid for in about 13 days.
I never heard Trump say any of those things, how much money do they have so far.

Well lets just hope the animosity between the principles is real and not a publicity stunt. Since neither side has a realistic solution to the looting of taxpayer monies, the less they all co-operate the better.

This is the spin that Trump fans that are smarter than Trump have formulated. Trump has NEVER EVER expanded on how he thinks Mexico is going to pay for the wall....but pundits and fans have.

I want to hear Trump on this issue -- not you.

Dont care if you like or dislike them, but they played a great tag team and made the orange idiot look even more like the moron in chief than he already does. I give them credit for doing this. Trump's numbnut stupidity was literally broadcasted live to the entire american audience. What could be better. I had a great laugh out of it. I am rooting for Nancy to make life a living hell for the donnie two scoop wonder man-child.

Putin must be feeling powerful about now. Theresa May is not looking too good and the spectacle between Trump and the Democratic leadership shows what he tried to accomplish did indeed work. I'm hoping that when both countries get through this difficult time they will rain down cyber darkness into Russia.

Geez, so many juvenile remarks in just one post. I feel like I'm in kindergarten in here sometimes.

I don't know, but if we are going on lies, I should have kept my doctor and insurance....


See how easy that is, oh and BTW, once again if we are talking about lies, all Americans should already have insurance because Obama said so, yes...or are these just lies that you just don't care about?


Oh and BTW again, Obama still owns the lie of the year...but again, you just don't seem to care....
