Breitbart: House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said on Thursday that she will not agree to funding President Donald Trump’s border wall even in exchange for a permanent fix for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients to avoid a government shutdown.
Trump is scheduled to meet with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Pelosi on Tuesday to work on a short-term spending deal to prevent the government from shutting down on December 21.
When asked on Thursday whether she would agree to “some degree of wall funding” in exchange for “a permanent, bonafide solution on DACA,” Pelosi replied, “No.”
Pelosi said funding for the border wall and DACA are “two different subjects.”
Trump has indicated that he would be willing to shut down the government before Christmas if he does not get $5 billion of the $25 billion needed for his border wall.
Schumer indicated that he would be open to approving $1.6 billion in border-wall funding but got immediate backlash from left-wing Democrats like Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who demanded “$0” for Trump’s “racist” border wall. more here
They talk about shutting the government down like it would be a BAD thing.
Gonna hurt me bad. I get paid by the Feds. But, shut that fucker down.
Where the hell is the current MAJORITY party? Sitting on their traitorous thumbs. I really, really hate the corruption of the elitist, overpaid, useless, lazy, bastards of congress. It’s all a con game and we keep allowing them to set themselves up to live like royalty, while allowing ILLEGAL ALIENS to rape the nation.
California is going to allow ILLEGAL ALIENS to use Medicaid. Every single taxpayer in America should rebel! First they set up the robber baron system of obamacare, next want to give out Medicare, and encourage open borders.
When will it be enough? Nancy is out of control with ego driven power. Congress no longer hides their filthy corpulent, power. They shout it from the pile of bodies of the American people.
Shut the fed down.
Tear it to shreds. Then send the pieces to Bangladesh for scrap.
“No border, no country. No country, no need for politicians.”
Or Military right? Sorry, I gotta call out dumb ass comments when I see them.
Thank you Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi/Waters 2020.

Why does this always happen at Xmas?
@Bad_Brad (at 2:13 am): End of the year coming up. New year, new budget, I guess.
No, Fed fiscal is in October.
Cut all the entitlements to the deadbeats and FUND THE WALL!
Whatever it takes — a home-grown wall, a home-grown militia … if the government can’t do it, then the people have to take matters in their own hands.
We cannot let ourselves be invaded!
…The President never really expected her to do it. He’s just demostrating how inflexible, uncooperative, and obstructionist she is for the slow learners in the back.
…and now, he can deal with DACA as he sees fit, and when they scream, he can honestly say he tried…
I’ve been through 3 or 4 gov’t “shut-downs” … never lost a dime.
Some dimes delayed – but none lost.
The psychopaths who wield power aren’t about to let it slip. If President Trump has any sense (which I’m sure he does) he’s planned for the contingency (as did Clinton) months in advance.
izlamo delenda est …
Pelosi and the rest of that pack seem to think they are still dealing with a GOP President and Congress that are scared of a shutdown because they figured they’d get blamed by the voters. Trump isn’t afraid because he knows he can bypass the media and go straight to the people and make his case and will be believed and the Dems will finally carry the can for something. Hell, I bet Trump would shut it down and leave it shut until he gets everything he needs. Then he can beat the Dems with how many tax dollars were saved because of a shutdown.
No borders, no wall, no USA at all. Right Nancy? This and American baby killing IS THE DNC PLATFORM.
If no term limits, put an age restriction……. No younger than 36 or older than 60. Seems like those outside these age restrictions are Fing up the country, except for a few like DJT. Shut the gov’t down!!!!!!!! until wall is funded fully!!!!! No loss there…
