President Trump and Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) sat down at the White House this afternoon do discuss the looming government shutdown and DACA, with Schumer confirming to reporters that while “some progress” had been made, but a deal had yet to be reached as “disagreements on several issues remain.”
“We had a long and detailed meeting,” Schumer said in a statement. “We discussed all of the major outstanding issues, we made some progress, but we still have a good number of disagreements. The discussions will continue.”
While DACA expires March 5th, the shutdown is imminent. As of now, it looks like the federal government expects the shutdown to happen – though Mulvaney said their version of the shutdown would be more “moderate” than the previous shutdown, which happened during the Obama years – and which Mulvaney said was “weaponized” due to the fact that virtually all federal employees didn’t show up for work.
‘What they’re simply trying to do is hold the government hostage, our military, kids health, over something completely unrelated.’ –Paul Ryan
While Mulvaney and Short were answering questions from the media, President Trump chimed in on twitter, chiding Democrats for opposing the bill. Trump blasted California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, tweeting a quote from her in the Washington Examiner: “Shutting down the government is a very serious thing…People die, accidents happen. I don’t know how I would vote right now on a CR, OK?”

Nancy Pelosi says she believes a deal is “within reach.”

Hoyer on Trump/Schumer mtg: We have to know what the president will sign. Hopefully Mr Schumer will find out what the president will sign. I believe as Sanchez said, the votes are there in the house and sen if they bring this up.

Earlier in the day, Rep. John Cornyn (R-TX) said he expected a vote to be held “after lunch,” while Mark Meadows, leader of the House Freedom Caucus, said that a proposal for a five-day short-term fix has been rejected by the House.
Unlike the last shutdown in 2013, federal parks will be open, Mulvaney said. But all federal employees will be working for nothing (that is, until their back pay is approved by Congress). The military, TSA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will also go to work, but they will not be paid.

So there you have it ladies. Schumer, a dual shitizen, one of the filthy Israeli scum loyal to the luciferian hellhole Israel, is holding the US gov’t hostage for the benefit of foreign power.
There you have it – Trump bent over by a putz and a pussy. Extra lube for the Donald.
Know what they are fearing? That if they shut down the government everything will carry on without them. In other words, nobody will notice. Paper tigers.
Shut ‘er down, stand back and enjoy the result President Trump. Let Cryin’ Chuck Shumer feel the heat – it’s his fault, after all.
These people are so old they smell Kosher while queer. Interesting times.
Trump has the politics ass backwards. He’s hitching his horse to the 30%. The dems are saying WTF? The minority is gonna run the country? All this ’cause Mexico said bullshit?
Give the orange idiot half of what he wants for the wall in exchange for DACA. Grownups should be able to do that. Glad I got puts.
@edge: One certainty – there won’t be any DACA. It’s not going to happen. Merit based immigration reform will move on without the input of Cryin’ Chucky Shumer and Dirty Dickie Durban. Those two chess pieces have been removed from the game board.
Cricket- my POV is that Trump is trying to act like an uncompromising dictator. Not going to fly.
He’s acting like a politician. What you see as an uncompromising tyrant is called a spine. I don’t blame you for not seeing it, it’s been a rarity in Federal politicians for quite some time.
Don’t worry GOP-Fags – DJT has Moscow on speed dial. As soon as things get too messy for the Shithole Braniac look for the next “friendly” discussion with the Russian.
And ZH and this site continue to populate the inter-waves with propaganda designed to weaken the fabric of our society, cheered on GOP voters everywhere. Nice spine.
GSH was wrong, the revolution is being televised.
The one guy in the idiot Trump’s administration who I thought might be sane …and who I thought may be a patriot, Tillerson, has just announced that we’re going to camp out in Syria until Iran goes away and until Assad leaves his own country. Yes folks, the lunatics are fully in control.
In your face Russians …and Iranians …and Syrians …and Turks …and in your face the entire population of the planet but for a group of Israeli expansionist.
And through all of this, the issue that sheep in this country are told to focus on – is a Trump/Russia connection. Russia is not the problem insp cluso! …it is the Likudniks and their tools in THIS country.
I live how supposed “smart men” continue to stand by the retard in chief, and pretend that the man doesn’t eat fkn shit sandwiches every night
Hey Ferd, do you think Russians would be OK if Putzkin invited Trump over to the Kremlin, told him all of Russias military secrets, gave him info on all of their spies, and handed over the use of RT/twitter/media and insulted half your population and passed laws targeting the economic interests of those who objected your policies?
Its only par for the course that the dumbest in this country support this guy while he Makes America the Weakest in its entire history.
Last week we lost Chinese spies. The prior week we found out we lost Russian spies. And Shitholio fights the Russian Investigation while we do nothing about the election system.
Inspector Clueless: The 12 to 20 Chinese CIA informants were killed between 2010 and 2012 – under Obama’s watch. It took Trump’s administration to identify and arrest the double agent, who had previously evaded arrest under Obama.

My wife said of the GOP: Why are they so scared of Trump? What a bunch of pussies.
There are conservatives and then there are rabid dog right wingers. Don’t confuse the two, as one is quite insane.
The glue that holds the rabid dog movement together is anti-civil rights, and is used to fool the rubes into believing that their economic hardship is the fault of non-whites and women.
If anything it is the fault of the .1%, who have seen their net worth soar by 25t since 2007, while the bottom 2/3 have lost a few trillion. The hoax is being propagated by the very wealthy for obvious reasons.
The DNC is also complicit since their donor class is much the same, although the dems seem to be a little more civic-minded, but IMO we are an oligarchy.
What worries me so much about Trump is that on top of that is the stench of authoritarianism. The man is clearly dangerous.
@edge: Authoritarianism? We are already there. Next stop, totalitarianism. The extreme left is driving it, the extreme right will create it, while the Oligarchs orchestrate it. And the American people will, by and large, welcome it without a whimper. Not if, but when. As for Trump, well the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama reigns laid the brickwork and the last Clinton would have closed the door. Trump, the outsider, is taking a different route but in the end, either he will arrive at the same destination or the next administration will.
Cricket- We seem to agree that the situation is pretty fucked up.
@cricket: there is no “extreme right”. no disrespect but you fell for the joomedia’s 24/7 propaganda creating the “extreme right” in your mind. It is the extreme left, a.k.a. marxists/communists, the tools of organized jewry which hates white Christian America and Europe with passion, that used false flags that (((their))) wholly-owned media spins as actions of the “extreme right”. Patriots are labeled as extremists. Dont allow yourself to be bamboozled by these deceiving (((snakes))). Nothing in annals of history tops the brutality of jewish bolsheviks and (((their))) sick genocides. All these murders rest on the shoulders of cabbalistic jewry:

Three guys, Gates, Bezos, and Buffett, control more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population. In light of this, it’s hilarious how our MSM smugly decries the “oligarchs” in Russia.
But of course, an oligarch’s power has limits. They’ll be killed off if they don’t serve the interests of those who can kill and get away with it …e.g., you won’t find our oligarchs protesting our occupation of Syria.
Sarc, as you must know, it was Lenin’s successor, a non-Jewish bolshevik, Stalin, who stepped-up the slaughter and who later, enslaved eastern Europe.
@ferd, very true. Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili was not a Jew. Just like Trump is not a Jew yet Israel, via zionist occupied US gubermint, will drag Trump into ME war against Iran, and make Trump preside over unimaginable horrors.

Along with many others, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn documented the history of jewish brutality in Russia in gruesome detail. And Harry Truman had a very nice thing to say about that as well. I am sure, as you must know, what is in Harry S. Truman’s handwritten notes of July 21st 1947.
So quite a discussion. The fault lies with:
Jews
Dems
Libtards
Goptards
Conservatives who are with Trump
Evangelicals who are with Trump
Conservatives who are not with Trump
Evangelicals who are not with Trump
Nazis in general
American Nazis
EuroNazis
Pro life
Pro choice
All presidents since WWII except Carter because he doesn’t rate as high on any level as the others…

yada yada yada until we are indistuishable from the 1917 Tsarist state. Ouch.
