    What if he gets only half of the money.

    Does that mean they can build a wall but with just half the required slats?

    At least they get to keep the fat people out from stealing their food right.

    It’s a pissing match between TrumpS.

    Day 1 - shutdown is great
    Day 2 - I’ll own the shutdown without the wall
    Day 3 - n/m I’ll sign it
    Day 4 - I won’t sign it without the wall
    Day 5 - I won’t own the shutdown

    I'm glad I'm out of the country right now. Although I worry what things are going to be like at customs and immigration when i get back.

    AOC confirms that "members of Congress" forced the shutdown, not the President ;)

    The Republican Congress has shown zero backbone to stand up to this president so yeah it’s on Congress just as much. When Trump went back on his word after McConnell passed the CR in the senate unanimously, McConnell could have turned right around and put the bill on the floor to protect Mueller. He’s got all the power over Trump and is also the one person who can oversee the vote to remove him from office if the House impeaches.

    None of that happens though because both Republicans in Congress and Trump allow Rush Limbaugh and right wing hate radio to dictate everything they do and even allow him the power to shut down the government.

    Imagine if Democrats shut the government down because Kathy Griffith called Obama a wimp for not passing free college for all in a standard budget resolution.

    Do you guys realize how paralyzed your party is to the fringe who are also paralyzed with the cult of personality of Donald Freaking Trump?? The Trumplican party that currently rules all facets of our government is one vicious circle of stupidity.

    Who do you think you are kidding? Your obsession with AOC pretty much gives it away.

    why the blame game is pointless, most people don't care if the government is shut down

    "But the lesson of the last few shutdowns is that nobody really seems to win or lose anymore and therefore any leverage is a mirage. We’re now on our third shutdown of the year and fourth of the decade. Voters have short memories. Republicans shut down the government in 2013, and voters rewarded them with a Senate majority the next year. Democrats tried it this year and got a House majority for their troubles."

    Come on Sam... you know trump lies about everything, so you can't believe him when he takes responsibility for the shutdown, can you?
