Trump: Government shutdown 'could happen' this weekend
by Gabby Morrongiello | Dec 6, 2017, 12:20 PM

President Trump said the threat of a partial government shutdown on Saturday is real, and blasted congressional Democrats for holding up spending negotiations.

"It could happen," Trump told reporters on Wednesday, responding to questions about whether the government could shut down.

"The Democrats are really looking at something that is very dangerous for our country," he continued. "They are looking at shutting down. They want to have illegal immigrants ... pouring into our country, bringing with them tremendous amounts of crime."

Works for me.  Shut it down.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

The weather outside is frightful,
but a Government shutdown...
...Delightful!

Shut it down, shut it down, shut it down.  :tree3:

This Republican POTUS isn't going to be cowed into submission on such a threat.

Like Reagan was not... this is a good thing.

Especially the optics, democrats shutting down government so illegal aliens can get benefits.

Well then, if it's gonna shut down... let it happen.

Tell me something: do you really care?
I mean it.. do you?

I don't care.
Not a whit.

I'd like to see nearly everyone in that city put out of work, their wives gnashing their teeth, and their children... hungry.

Too bad. Cry me a river.

The longer they're shut down, the less damage they can do to the rest of us.

Ah! An early Christmas present from Donny. Thank you.

Next year for my present I would like Donny to let Melania do another Maxim photo shoot.
