Is this a possible way out of the shutdown?

Give 5.7 B for border security. DT can call it what he wants to call it BUT make him promise and sign an agreement to never hold the government workers hostage to spending bill again. No more shutdowns, ever over spending. Pass legislation for 2 or 3 year budgets for all Executive agencies and entitlement spending.

1. Not likely. And if he defaults, then what?

Unless Congress holds him accountable, it is meaningless for the President to make promises.

2. A promise from Trump has no value at all

4. Precisely

3. Promise, did you use that word in relation to rump?

Sign an agreement?

This is terrorism and holding hostages, I for one will lose my MIND if we give in to him.

6. Monty Hall makes better deals than the Donald.

Monty keeps his word while the fucking moron constantly goes back on his word (even if it has been on TV for all to see) every single time. He can NOT be trusted and that is the problem.

7. No.

Trump will never accept it. Democrats have already offered 5.7 billion for “border security”, knowing it wouldn’t be accepted. I thought it was a brilliant move because it showed everyone which side is unwilling to compromise.

Trump needs his wall the way a 3-year-old wants his candy. If he gets it on the 52nd day of the shutdown, what he will learn from the experience is that the next time he wants something, he needs to shut the government down for 52 days. Take it from those of us who have dealt with NPDs (people with narcissistic personality disorder).

This shutdown will continue until it really starts hurting Republicans. Then, Mitch McConnell will finally pass a veto-proof bill. But it will take a while.

8. Trump is on tape taking responsibility

Then a week later he blames the Democrats.

Trump is not trustworthy.

9. Oh, Lord. You're back to telling us to fund the wall again, aren't you?

Just stop. No matter how many times you post telling us we should give him the money for the wall, no one is going to agree with you. Except trolls. Trolls might like the idea.

13. I believe i said border security and Trump could call it what he wanted to call it.

14. Uh huh.
