Nope. The left all heard what Trump said. We cannot unhear it like Repubs can. Earlier the Dems offered 20 billion for a wall in exchange for DACA. Trumpy changed his alleged mind. You can make a deal with Daffy, but that does not mean he will honor it. He acts on whim.

That you felt compelled to defend chuck and nancy proves my point
You do not have one. You brought up Pelosi and Schumer and were wrong about it. So Dems tried to straighten you out. It is a big job.

I understand your seeming obsession with taxing the rich, but that would be a drop in the bucket. A better idea is slashing the bloated military budget.
I'd be careful with that. Every dollar slashed from the military budget...is one less dollar into the economy.
In fact, every dollar slashed from the federal budget...is one less dollar into the economy.
Slashing the budget WILL NEVER DO THE JOB.
Increasing revenue is the solution.
Realist want to do this by increasing taxes. Dreamers want to do it by cutting taxes...in some imaginary scheme that supposedly will increase revenue.

Then why not let the DACA deal stand on it's own, instead of making it a bargaining chip??
You ever hear of politics? Why not open the government instead of holding employees hostage? The IRS just called back 36,000 of their nonessential employees, in your childish terms. Trump recognized if the taxes are not done, a lot of people will get hurt and angry. So he is calling them back to work without pay. Morale should be soaring.

Then why don't Pelosi and Schumer stop the shutdown??
I will wear the mantle. I will shut it down...then Trump did. Now don't you think the one who shut it down should open it? Do you ever try to make sense?

You didn't answer the question; but you did do a nice two step around it.
Probably because your scared to answer why Pelosi and Schumer don't stop the shutdown and then proclaim how wonderous they are!!

I previously predicted the demmycrats would fold on Wednesday......I hope they prove me right......
Whatever boneheaded idea you have can be immediately dismissed. You are never right.

Realist understand that the military is bloated and remember that the military has "misplaced" trillions of dollars.
EVERY PENNY THAT THE MILITARY GETS...GOES INTO THE ECONOMY.
EVERY PENNY.
Any "misplaced" money went into the economy.
ALL the money the government gets...goes back into the economy...EVEN THE SO-CALLED FOREIGN AID.

Pelosi and Schumer will offer some relatively tiny bit of fluff that Trump can pretend shows he has built a wall and Mexico has paid for it…
… (his morons will buy it in a second)…
…and legislation will be passed to open the government and fund it for a while. I doubt a final budget will be passed…but perhaps.
BOTTOM LINE…Trump will fold like a cheap suit in a salesman’s suitcase…and make a big pretense of having won.
Wouldn’t surprise me terribly if the Democrats actually extract something extra in the deal for the few extra bucks they will throw his way. Probably not something on DACA…but on something else they feel strongly about.
AOC is a better negotiator than that blow-hard in the White House…so the American conservative voices (like Limbaugh and Ingrham) will pretend to buy into the pretense…because even they realize the Republicans are getting slaughtered in this “negotiation.”
Running out of time Frankie Fuckwad
Yeah...I am.
I may have been wrong. I've been wrong before.
Fact is, though, we are ALL running out of time with this disgusting moron in the White House.
I hope I am not wrong...and that Trump does cave. Better sooner than later for everyone.

There is no way he caves now Frankie Fuckwad. Not a chance. His Presidency would be over and his base would abandon him. It would be his "read my lips...no new taxes" moment. Of course that is why democrats like you want him to cave. Say what you want about Trump, but he has very keen political skills. He is an expert marketer and today that is what politics has become whether you like it or not.
There are only two ways this plays out in my opinion
1) Democrats cave and give him his $5 billion - unlikely
2) The Party of Failure in the Senate caves to media pressure and passes a bill and then overrides a veto.
#2 is the most likely scenario in my view and even though it will be seen as a loss by the media and leftists, Trump will have won. I have to admit I am surprised that the GOP in the Senate hasn't caved yet. I figured they would have by now.
I love me a good shut down. My life is still not being impacted. I will let you know if it is. But, even if it is, i would still suck it up for the greater good.
The really good news is that we are only five more days from Trump being able to actually lay these people off for good. Now that is really good fucking news if you ask me. Talk about shrinking gobblement? I just gave myself a hard on

The airline industry is being greatly impacted, and when they shut down, you can say bye bye to this economy.
