Both sides need to compromise???

WTF?

Someone needs to explain to our "please don't call me fake...or liberally biased" media that this is NOT a negotiation , it's terrorism.

All the Democrats are "offering" is that government should be functioning . They're not asking for anything other than what the government is supposed to do... and is funded and legislatively required to do.

This would be like a person saying, well, you give me what I want and I'll let you breath.

That, media, is terrorism. It's extortion. It's blackmail.

I swear to God. If this were a kidnapping story, the media would be asking why the victims don't compromise, and blaming them for the fact their kid had been stolen.

I mean... can't you liberals see it from the kidnappers side????

...and caving to just another vanity project for a few billion is completely the wrong thing to do. Trump and the GOP is seriously sinking the ship. The wreck of an economy that Obama refloated, while we all spent years getting back on our feet again, is coming around again by the looks of it.

Fuck the wall. It does nothing, a giant infrastructure project in the desert for no purpose. There are real problems to be addressed.

But the fucking media is trying to do that both siderism bullshit, as if the basic function of government is something you can negotiate away.

Like I said; Donnie Short Fingers has taken Americans hostage and Democrats are supposed to be the ones that have to negotiate in good faith.

That's like a bully stealing someone's lunch money, and then having the principal demand that the kid that's been robbed give up his shoes to get half of his money back.
