Breaking Shut Down Avoided. There is said to Be An Agreement The President Will Sign!

Zero Chance he sighs this at 1.3. Billion ...I bet he wipes his ass with it folds it and hands it back to sender .

The details are slowly trickling out -- but here's what we hear has been agreed to:

$1.375 billion for physical barriers (bollard fencing)
40,520 level for overall ICE beds (down from current 49,057 level)

I love Trump but he lost this shutdown and wall tactic.

I would take the money and then immediately declare a national emergency.

While the lawsuits over the national emergency go through the courts, he can use the 1.3 to start the new wall.

That will only cover 55 miles of new fencing apparently.


I’d say there’s a snowballs chance in hell that this get signed.

If he does sign it, look out for one of two things in this order:

1.Using an executive order to draw funds from other areas to continue building walls.

2.accepting what he can get and declaring a national emergency (which believe it or not is actually MORE likely after this deal)

MAGA

he's only got less than 2 years to go to do what needs to be done.
that's not very much time.

Um excuse me,

He has SIX more years.

Wipe your ass with it and call National Emergency have pentagon and military fund and build it .

if he doesn't produce BigTime he ain't.

I think you miss the point I’m trying to make. As this crap goes on it starts to harm more and more people. The national park situation was starting to affect hours for restaurant and hotel workers near the Great Smoky Mountains. The only thing that slowed it was time of year not the volunteers trying to keep think working.

A few will experience temporary discomfort, but the long term net effect of paring down the government to minimalist, lean, and efficient entity as our founding fathers intended will be overwhelmingly positive. Imagine the tax revenue reductions and that $ going back into the economy or people's savings. Even in the short-term, the Americans that will benefit way outnumber the few crybabies.

Dropping them into the middle of the ocean from planes is much cheaper.

Also. To set this straight one time. If you leave a Federal Gov. job. While you are furloughed. you could lose your retirement.and 401k Match if you do anything considered conflict of interest. So not an option. OK. Couldn’t even take a temporary job because of being considered exempted. And had to work without pay.

Perhaps you need to actually WRITE HIM and say this. Instead of on GLP? Or have you?

he has people who read it and then give him bullet point summaries.

No he doesn't.

He won by like 100,000 in the states that matter which is the swing states.

At the rate illegals are pouring across the border he has already lost the next election.

Especially because a big chunk of his voters only care about the wall.

With very little being built they have no reason to vote for him again.

Precisely.

Shutdown Averted!

fine. now get back to work, you assholes.

That's how it is with any private sector job, except worse because private sector people don't have congress gauranteeing them back pay. Yet, people in the private sector change careers all the time, either voluntarily or being layed off, and survive. The vast majority of Americans are private sector and when they hear govt workers whine about their gauranteed incomes funded by American taxpayers by threat of gunpoint, it only alienates you more.

I tend to agree with this. Florida in particular really fked up by letting felons vote. I'm a big Trump guy but he's in trouble for 2020 if he doesn't get the wall. Failure to do so might end up making the wall the new "no news taxes" line.

His approval rating has gone since though

We need the senate right now, say someone can not get back to the Supreme Court, the Senate will have to be ready to get the pick signed sealed and delivered to the Seat so to speak.

Good, idea to be working with them for sure. They have grown some a little bit recently as of the time Trump got elected.
They can do the work and they have enough to get the person in.

I had hoped for a civil discussion without name calling. You little minded bitch. You call a waitress or hotel worker a crybaby. If one person hurts from this it’s not cool. If a milllion hurt it’s over for all of us. do you not see that. If a long term shutdown happens again. The only thing that happens is Schumer and the Dems win everything Again. GAME OVER.

Sen Mark Meadows poring cold water on deal as "not a serious attempt at border security".

No link....was a Fox interview.

They are only cry babies if they cry like you are doing. I've been laid off many times and never blamed others nor whined like a baby. I pulled myself up by my bootstraps and moved on and survived. Downsizing and layoffs are part of normal life and if I were manager I would've done the same layoff if I had to. By the way, work 25 years straight for a single employer in the private sector is practically unheard of nowadays. No private sector person relates with you. You have been insulated in your govt world for too long and it has distorted your perception what regular Americans think and feel.

Shutdown needs to be PERMANENT! Non-essential employees don't exist in the private sector because they would've been laid off long ago and should much less exist in govt with such great potential for national waste, tyranny and corruption.

Fellow Wisconsinite????))

No. Not threat of gunpoint. When I took this job at lower pay it was for the benifiits. The insurance at that time. In 95. Now I’m so far invested I can’t see why I would leave. If this Gov wants to fix the border they would have done it in the past 100 years. Don’t put it all on one generation to do it all now.

People are paying taxes at gunpoint. You think IRS agents aren't armed? Stop being selfish and think outside your govt bubble for once.
