Nancy said that no money would go toward a wall. No money is going toward a wall. It's going toward border control, which is exactly what the 1.6B offered in December (November?) was going toward. Now less than 1.4B is going toward border control.

There is absolutely no way to spin this as a Trump win.

See the post above yours. That is exactly what his simple-minded tools are doing.

I know they're trying to spin it that way, but that's just word salad and vague nonsense-based predictions like "watch, she'll still cave," and "he will get his funding."

Might be even a higher percentage are stupid enough to consider and engage stupid insults, especially when it comes to those with opposing points of view. The more guilty people on both sides continue their childish ways, the more we've all got to wonder why anyone would vote for the other side. Hard to guess the percentage of guilty parties commenting in the same way in these threads, but no doubt it's too high...

All to say, maybe "50 percent of the electorate" is not "stupid," but I'm guessing at least half of us don't know our political truth from our anatomical behind, and so the prospect of electing a POTUS like Trump becomes all the more likely.

PS: Not sure where you are getting your numbers but most I read goes something like this...

About 55.7 percent of eligible voters in the United States voted in the 2016 Presidential election.

Of those, about 46.1 percent voted for Donald Trump.

Multiply those out, and about 25.7 percent of all eligible voters in the USA voted for Trump. (26.8 percent voted for Hillary Clinton.)

This, once again, is a textbook example of how you Trumpsters have brought our republic to the brink of ruin.

"Why we don't vote for your side..." What we expect you to do (well, not anymore, but would at least hope you would do) is to not vote as if you're picking sides for a dodgeball team in 1st grade - that you'd be smart enough and mature enough to cast your vote for the person you honestly think would make the best president, not the person you think is most likely to **** off "the other side." This childish, petty, spiteful lens through which you view your world and filter your every action is destroying our system of government, and yeah - it is one of the biggest reasons we think about 40% of the country is just plain stupid.

Are you really that unaware of how the House functions?
As it turns out you proved you know nothing about what gets signed by who. I just saw a video clip of Nancy signing the bill/legislation.

Pelosi caves, says she would sign a bipartisan deal reached by conference committee.

^ click bait ^ fake news.

On the otherhand; sycophant hannity NOW supports the 'garbage compromise' on border security.

So there's that.

Didn't take long for Hannity to cave too. Just like his Dear Leader. Trumpies. So principled. So consistent in their beliefs.

That is strictly a ceremonial signing with no real significance. As part of her job she forwards the legislation to the Senate for their approval.

and note a whole group of Representatives signed the bill. Simply ceremonial politics. Nothing to do with the actual passage of the law.

What sort of headline would you like?

There's Fox News headlines for example, or CNN, and then there are the headlines or thread topics in this forum that can be whatever your bent and pleasure!
