 Trump and Congress eye shutdown showdown over border wall

The deadline to fund the government is fast approaching, and neither Democrats nor the White House is backing down.

By Rachael Bade , Burgess Everett and Kyle Cheney

President Donald Trump and Congress are on a collision course over government funding this week, as the White House demands money for a border wall with Mexico and Democrats vow it will never see a penny.

But just five days out from a government shutdown, Trump appears headed for disappointment. Democrats are signaling they’re unlikely to cave, and Hill Republicans are already pressing the administration to fight another day.

How typical. The Pubs are terrified of another govt shutdown, but it's not the same as when a Rat is POTUS. The Rat POTUS will stop SS payments in order to create pressure on the PUbs. Pres. Trump doesn't have to stop payments to SS there are enough tax receipts to cover that. I hope Pres. Trump calls their bluff and let the American people see we can get along just fine without "non-critical" govt agencies.

Recently heard Ed Rollins being interviewed by Lou Dobbs.

Rollins said a Republican President shouldn't have to fight a Republican majority Congress, over the very issues THEY had run on for years. Obamacare, cutting spending, border security to name a few.

He criticized Ryan in particular.

He is so right!

The inability to repeal obamacare after 7 years of promises that this would be done makes it less and less likely I'll support any of them in the future. My disgust with all of them is so great I can't describe it's limits. About the only ones left to support are the HFC.
