Trump tweets he'd 'shut down' government if Democrats don't fund US-Mexico wall

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Trump said on Sunday that he would be willing to shut down the federal government if the Democrats do not agree to Republican demands about funding for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Trump wrote on Twitter that border security "includes the Wall! Must get rid of Lottery, Catch & Release etc. and finally go to system of Immigration based on MERIT! We need great people coming into our Country!"

The White House has been embroiled in controversy over the ongoing efforts to reunite families separated at the border who were attempting to enter the United States illegally.

During his most recent weekly address, Trump cited the 9/11 terrorist attacks to justify strong enforcement of immigration laws and the continued necessity of Immigration Customs & Enforcement, the agency which has come under fire from Democrats in recent months.

1. Powerful Republicans Schumer and Pelosi refuse to fund Mexico wall, forcing shutdown

2. Means they won't sneak it into a general appropriations bill.

On a straight up vote, the Wall will go down like Jericho's did.

3. What else is on Trump's list of extortion?

Federal criminalization of abortion and birth control?

Allowing only Europeans to immigrate to the U.S.?

Making tax cuts so permanent that future Congresses can't retract them?

If Kavanaugh isn't installed on the U.S.S.C.?

4. The GOP will not shutdown the govt a month before the mid terms

6. The closer all the investigations get

The more likely hood his threats against this country will increase and escalate in damage he's willing to do with his abuses of power to hurt us for them. In others words he's willing to destroy this country if he knows he's going down anyway. He is capable of doing that too, and with putins help.

7. Do not negotiate with bullies.

Donnie can run his mouth. If whoever unlocks the door at the social security office goes and does so regardless, and the people come to work regardless, and Congress pays them, regardless.....

I encourage everyone who has quietly served the public in a US government job, simply continue to do so regardless of the ravings of the bullies.

8. Right before the election?

Please proceed you maggot blobfish.

9. Is this supposed to be a threat?

By all means, go ahead and shut it down. It just means that you can't do damage in the meantime.
