Can't see it. Except the last bit.

Can't see what? That he will turn his delaying the SOTU into an opportunity to claim victory and go on the attack on the floor of the House and bask in adulation and standing ovations from his Republican supporters and an audience packed with his base?

Animated skeleton and billionaire Wilbur Ross can't understand why federal workers are going to food banks for assistance during Trump's shutdown when they could just go and get bank loans...

No, that's the bit I can see, refer to my words "except the last bit". What I can't see is the first bits of what you said: he'll declare national emergency and abscond with funds to build his wall.

let's build that wall and be done with it,

With your money?

It's hard to imagine how the Trumptards function in the real world.

Or how about just reopen the government and then hammer out a deal on immigration?

...or how about just reopen the government, forget the vanity wall and impeach the idiot...

how's that wall gonna change anything in your life or your family's back in the US....besides increasing the tax burden.....

and how is the damage being done to the economy by furloughing 800k gov't workers justified by the improvement the wall will bring

It's hard to imagine how they get their tongues off the windows tbh.

Just when you think baldy orange cunto can't be even more stupid, he finds a shovel and digs deeper.

Apparently Grocery stores will "work with" unpaid furloughed workers who can't afford to buy food.

God a what a c u n t.

But what if they aren't carrying ID. You need ID to buy groceries.
I didn't read the story, I'm assuming he's saying/implying that grocery stores may extend credit? That costs the grocery stores money!
What an utter c u n t.

Donald Trump announces deal to temporarily end US government shutdown

United States President Donald Trump says he has reached a tentative agreement with US politicians for three weeks in stop-gap funding that would end a partial government shutdown, now in its 35th day.

Key points:

• The arrangement would require passage in the House and Senate, as well as the President's signature
• It would also leave Mr Trump's request for border wall funding for later talks
• They could pass the measure as soon as today

A senior Democratic aide said money the President demanded for a border wall was not included.

The President had previously insisted on the inclusion of $US5.7 billion to help pay for a wall along the vast US-Mexico border in any legislation to fund government agencies.

"I am very proud to announce today that we have reached a deal to end the shutdown and reopen the federal government," Mr Trump said at the White House.
"In a short while, I will sign a bill to open our government for three weeks until February 15.

"I will make sure that all employees receive their back pay very quickly, or as soon as possible."

With the effects of the shutdown spreading, Mr Trump said a bipartisan congressional conference committee would meet to come up with a plan for border security.

FTFY.

Oh dear. I hope he doesn't read this he might reneg.

Can he read, that is the question I always ask myself. He certainly speaks like he cannot

"Ann Coulter, author of In Trump We Trust, tweeted: “Good news for George Herbert Walker Bush: As of today, he is no longer the biggest wimp ever to serve as President of the United States.”"

The really troubling part is that he actually got away with it. He was elected and he has put into place many horrible policies and affected the direction of the supreme court for decades to come. If any of this stuff would have been revealed during the campaign it may have been enough for him to lose. As it stands the likelihood that he will be impeached is very slim. The best outcome will be a convincing defeat in 2020 so that his brainwashed following cannot claim that he was unfairly removed from office.

So after this whole shutdown thing over his stupid and pointless vanity project that caused untold people misery and hardship he backs down. And make no mistake that’s what he did — no matter how much he tries to spin it as a win, and he will.

So much for the myth of the deal maker who can get things done.
