Congress is returning to Washington with a tight deadline to pass seven spending bills and avert a partial government shutdown over President Trumps demand that lawmakers fund his wall on the Mexican border.
The partial shutdown will take place on Dec. 7 if Congress does not pass legislation, creating the last chance for Trump to win wall funding before Democrats take over the House majority in January.
Trump has threatened to veto a spending bill that does not include funding for the wall. If he follows through, the partial shutdown would hit the Homeland Security, Justice and State departments, among other government entities.
This would be a very good time to do a shutdown, Trump told reporters at the White House earlier this month. I dont think its going to be necessary, because I think the Democrats will come to their senses, and if they dont come to their senses, we will continue to win elections.

Hey dumbshit. The Dems don't take control till January. Everyone but your shit-for-brains supporters knows this.

And I seem to remember something about Mexico paying for this wall during his campaign? Trump assured the voters the taxpayers would not have to contribute anything. Only Trump, the stable genius ready with all of the answers on day one, could save them.
