A great wall....solar, glass, 40 feet high and 1500 miles long...paid for by Mexico and built quickly.

"Hey, how about a few steel slats so I can call it My Wall.....and let me use that GoFundMe money too?".....

Trump's new hand-picked Chief of Staff Mulvaney said Trump's wall was "absurd" back in 2015. LOL!

Wonder how Trump felt about that when the story came out today

The two-week delay makes that obvious. As budget expert Stan Collender wrote, Republicans would push the spending bill through if they had the votes right now.

Above fascinating opinion outlining exactly what Republicans ended up doing. Thing is -- we see them -- we see right through them.


To the bold...move the goal post...


Well...she only meant "that day" not any other day, just that day, and that day only....


To the underlined..


What 2 week delay? Are you really saying pelozi said trump did not have the votes 2 weeks ago?


You're flailing....

Congress was prepared to pass the CR and Trump has no problem and then the right wing became outraged and Trump and some members of congress changed their minds.

No I'm not flailing -- or moving the goal post. What was the goal?

On that day -- in that room -- Trump said he could past in the House in 10 minutes.
Pelosi said do it, knowing at that time, on that day, there were not the votes. Republican House members were talking publicly about not having the votes.

It doesn't make it a win or lose for Trump. It's just the facts.
