DC: WASHINGTON—House Speaker Nancy Pelosi preemptively shot down a proposal by President Donald Trump to reopen the federal government.
President Donald Trump proposed Saturday to offer Democrats, as a trade-off for $5.7 billion of funding for the border wall, DACA protections for Dreamers as well as extend legal status for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders.
She continued, “Unfortunately, initial reports make clear that his proposal is a compilation of several previously rejected initiatives, each of which is unacceptable and in total, do not represent a good faith effort to restore certainty to people’s lives. It is unlikely that any one of these provisions alone would pass the House, and taken together, they are a non-starter. For one thing, this proposal does not include the permanent solution for the Dreamers and TPS recipients that our country needs and supports.”
Sen. Minority Whip Dick Durbin also panned the president’s proposal telling Axios, “First, President Trump and Senate Majority Leader McConnell must open the government today. Second, I cannot support the proposed offer as reported and do not believe it can pass the Senate. Third, I am ready to sit down at any time after the government is opened and work to resolve all outstanding issues.”
Speaker Pelosi, instead, called for increased infrastructure investments at our ports of entry including additional ports and roads. Additionally, she proposed “advanced technology to scan for drugs, weapons and contraband where the vast majority of drugs come into our country and advanced technology to detect unauthorized crossings.”
The California Democrat also wants to see more customs personnel, including filling the more than 3,000 Customs and Border Protection vacancies and more immigration judges. more
Of course she did. She doesn’t want a wall. Period.
And I don’t really think she wants that DACA stuff, either. If she said yes, she’d have nothing else to complain about and no other reason to call Trump a rayciss.
Thank you, Nancy Pants. RIFs coming for the Nonessentials.
Nanna and Chuck just made a lot of House dems nervous.
Not to mention she pissed off a bunch of illegals.
Trump looks like he’s there to negotiate and Nanna said NO WAY! Again!
She doesn’t want DACA, she needs a crisis for her to look busy.
@Diana
Yes! RIFs, and the savings will be used to build the wall.
At this point, Nancy to me seems rather non-essential. RIF her.
Why the hey are they still getting paychecks? They haven’t done anything but spend taxpayer’s money on partying.
She may think she is playing for power, but I really don’t think a man in her position would be as stupid or spiteful.
Her co-workers need to talk to her. Seriously.
You know somethin’ I don’t really give a fuck anymore. That bitch should be tarred and feathered, keel hauled, asskicked,and thrown into the ocean,
DACA was a bad deal and should not have been on the table.
More troops on the border, no more illegals, CLOSE the Southern Border.
P.S.
I resent her trying to decide for the American people. She knows what we voted for.
Nance is on the rag. Remember how she gushed over Little Barry?
Her great weakness is events she can’t control.
Welcome to the next two years. Every Trump initiative will be killed in its crib. Democrats will allow nothing he proposes to advance. The democrats hate Trump as much as they hate you and me. It’s a death match now.
WHEN… Trump builds the wall, I hope she gets the FIRST catapult ride OVER it. 😡
Pelosi has proposed “Mechanical Robotic Dogs” patrol the border. That’s no shit. I think nan has slipped her disco.
My kids use to accuse me of playing Ninja Mind games with them when they were younger. I’m an amateur compared to Trump.
cato
He knew she would reject it. Ninja Mind Games.
But he made her do it on TV in front of God and everyone else.
He’s trying to split the Dems. That’s the end game here.
PS
Food Stamps are no longer funded beyond February 14th. (some where around there anyway). Tic Toc.
OT
OK, I’m chatty Kathy tonight. There’s a really cool story running just beneath the radar. Some brave sobs.

There was also an off duty British SOS guy that had his kit in his car that saved a lot of lives and took life seriously. The value of an armed citizenry is abundantly clear here.
Everyday I hope this woman dies……
This is what stood out to me.Pelosi said “do not represent a good faith effort to restore certainty to people’s lives”. (The new and old free loaders) She wants all of them to move in and vote for all the Dems all the time. And give them free every thing forever.
FUCK THAT OLD COMMIE BITCH!!! Trump should declare MARTIAL LAW suspend congress Arrest all the “dissidents”especially her and schumer and order the military to build the wall and put ARMED military on the border with shoot to kill orders and get this shit fixed…NOW!

The 2nd most worthless deluded POS behind Hillary Cuntin.
I am all for “restoring certainty to the lives of people who have broken our immigration laws by sending them all back to their home countries. with no chance of ever legally entering the United States again for any reason.
I would like the United States government to restore the certainty of my life by enforcing existing law. just do it…
Hope this link works. I struggle with this shit. But it’s awesome.

How cute is that little girl! Love it!
“MSNBC’s Donny Deutsch: Trump Will Start Civil War if Impeached”
You bet your faggot ass Donny. What gym do you go to and at what time. I want to visit.
MJA
Right. I’d shake her fathers hand and give him a hug for raising a Patriot.
Donny Deutche at a gym? Pullllleze. Man’s Country with Barry the Fairy maybe, but a gym?
judgeroybean
He’s a self proclaimed Gym Rat. So am I. He’s a kettle bell kind of guy. I like crushing shit. Bring that week shit. I really hate this guy. He certainly doesn’t mind pouring gas on the fire. For the libtard socialist cause. I take offense Donny. Give me an address. I’ll wait.
I think that Trump expected her childish response, he’s just biding his time at this point.
With so many witnesses to how out of control the Democratic party is right now, he can easily do an executive order in a state of emergency. And no one will be able to object in any meaningful context.
TWO points:
1) Before leaving DC, she released her statement via AUTOSEND so, when Trump delayed his speech 1 hour at the last minute, he exposed her canned response as phony.
2) A few VERY GOOD thoughts on the strategic process going on:

I didn’t care much for the offer, there’s too many people here now that get to stay.
Why bother fixing a dike holding back 6 feet of water when you aren’t going to remove the 4 feet of water you’re standing in?
The speech WASN’T GIVEN TO PERSUADE *YOU* gin blossom.
It seems to have persuaded many undecided/in-the-middle people to now support The Wall, however.
Who’s throwing the tantrum? NANCY.
Who looks like the adult? TRUMP.
That, before Trump signs his E.O. to build it.
moe tom
After more research on keel hauling, I’m in.😊
Why is the entire country allowing one senile old bitch to stand in our way?
Run her ass over and be done with it!
God gave us President Trump, a resolute leader, a man for our time.
He will also clear the field of bad actors, who’ve been hurting the country for a long stretch. (McCain, GHWB, and soon: RBG, Pelosi, Biden, et al Dems and RINO parasites that have corruptly fed off this country since WWII)
