The shutdown should continue for as long as Dems want no additional funding, which underscores their desire to aid our invasion.

Whether its weeks or months or years. It should continue as long as they maintain that insane position.

Here's the thing , this isn't even a major shutdown like the one that Obama forced for Planned Parenthood and Obamacare. Only 25% of the government is actually shut down unlike during the Obama and Clinton shutdowns. I would say that this should go on indefinitely until we get the wall.

Be honest with yourselves, liberals and Democrats. If this was about protecting Planned Parenthood funding or Obamacare, Democrats would be okay with the government shut down for a year.

I think border security/illegal immigration is one of the issues worth a government shutdown over. The others are abortion and Obamacare. I would also support shutting down the government to force the cutting of all funds to Planned Parenthood and other organizations that engage in abortion and deny funds in order to starve the Obamacare beast.

WINNING !!!!!!!!!!!
I support him on trade. YOU ARE OKAY with other countries taking advantage of America and destroying our manufacturing jobs? You think its okay for China to manipulate currency and cheat in the way they conduct trade? You think its okay for Canada, Mexico and Europe to charge us unfair tariffs while they flood our country with their products?

The Awful Wench hasn't even been sworn in yet, and she can afford the holiday. She is going to return rested and ready to kick ass and take names.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Cool. Then you support half the farmers in the country going bankrupt and losing their farms, and spending tax dollars to cover Trump's screw ups.

Priorities.

According to the Leftists -- we don't need no stinking Security or FEMA, TSA, Secret Service or any National Security officials.

False propaganda-type sound bite.

Pulling out of TPP was more than likely one of the dumbest things done by an administration in our times.

It screwed our #1 export.

Glad you support it. Go tell a farmer how proud you are.

Afraid? Afraid of a incoherent idiot whose mind locks up? She needs to vegetate in a retirement home.
