Trump said "negotiating would be a waste of time". So obviously he doesn't think his powers of persuasion are up to the job. He's admitting that he's a lousy negotiator.

There is a bipartesan committee doing the negotiating. From what I understand, neither Trump nor Pelosi are part of this group.

Staff are meeting to negotiate some sort of solution.

We'll see how that goes.

Prior to the shutdown, yes?


She said DURING the shutdown she said open the government and we can negotiate...yes?

So, where are all the other votes? I assume it is in the house.....since the dems now own the house, it should have already been passed, right?

As for third world countries---yeah, sure "that's the plan" but no one is demanding to see the details before this country hands over billions to corrupt oligarchs?

FYI --- Who is this "contractor with multiple bankruptcies that you are yammering about"? Trump? I have news for you. The money for the border barriers isn't just handed over to Trump with a check made out to him. I'm surprised that you don't know such basic things.

Just because Trump supporters believe this con man's BS doesn't meant the rest of us will.
You, apparently, think that the money will come in the form as a personal check to Trump. I'm surprised that you think that's the way it works.

So, we should believe Pelosi and Schumer because, according to you, they are such honest people? Oh...you are soooo naive. Democrats have proven themselves to be untrustworthy but you don't care.

Or just what has been accomplished along those lines going on near 6,000 comments now?

I've also explained why this dynamic and truth holds true more than a few times in this forum, and although I appreciate what seems the want of intelligent exchange on your part, the influences that prevent that sort of exchange in this forum are formidable.
The influences that prevent that sort of exchange on the national stage also are formidable. Fortunately no one on this forum is responsible to the country and so we are free to pontificate away. Some for amusement ... some to be argumentative ... some for ideology ... some simply to speak, void or not for that's in the end irrelevant. For as you say in your first paragraph maybe it's enough to stick to our various versions of right vs wrong, truth or falseness.
