Democrats: “Walls don’t work!” Tell that to: 1) The Secret Service 2) The Diplomatic Security Service 3) The Border Patrol 4) CBP 5) Police Departments around the world 6) The Israelis 7) Anyone with common sense

Create a crisis and then 'fix it' is his MO. Simple resolution is for Trump to stop using workers welfare to blackmail in order to get his own way.

This could have been quickly resolved if the US President decision for a 'Government Shutdown' would have also resulted in no salaries or remunerations are to be paid to White House executives/employees/staff (including the Pres) and Congress members and their employees/staff

The first President ever to create his own crisis

I fail to understand how a President, without parliamentary authority, can shut down a government, deny civil servants their pay, just to get his own way. I don't know what kind of 'ocracy' that is, but it's certainly not democracy.

Trump will be remembered for causing this shutdown. This is his contribution to the government of the US and it will be remembered I know that it is no comfort to you guys at present, but my thoughts and prayers are with you.

These people are working and not getting paid, while Congress seems to be getting paid and hardly working.

Stop begging your slave owners.

Middle Eastern power order at stake when US troops pull out of SyriaIf, and when, the US President's decision to withdraw troops goes ahead, it will set off a wave of ''out-sized consequences''. 'if & when'? Decision was made long ago. Plan was put in place long ago. The announcement made it official. The holy lands of the Middle East have seen miracles before. An indigenous Jewish dead man walked again in his Native Jerusalem 2,000 years ago. Don't worry, wasting American taxpayers money on the Abrahamic Natives is a dead end! I understand the correct term is 'bigly consequences'.
