I call Bullshit.

NO WALL! EVER!

Jared.....

This is what happens with fools in the White House

Why bother...

Notice the absence of the Art Of The Deal?

They should just duke it out. To the death.

TrumpResign

TrumpShutdown

no pelosi no schumer no ryan no flake christmas came early this year, some people celebrate the birth of Jesus not mandatory lots of non christian things to do who needs eternal life

It's simple. Vote for Border security libe they did in 2013. All of the democrats wanted border security 5 years ago. They are only doing this because they hate Trump. They hate Trump more than they love America

Shabbat Shalom, Jared.

The 2 dudes that never talk are negotiating? The 1 dude that never stops talking can't close any deals?

'Give us the money for the wall' 'No' 'Well how about give us money for steel slats?' 'No' 'How about money for a Bigly Longly Flat thing?' 'No' 'How about money for a Anti ISIS Containment System?' 'No'

I hope someone relegates Jared to the kids' table while the adults in the room try, once again, to clean up the mess a Trump tantrum has made on the Hill. I'm surprised Jared has time for this, what with all his chumming around with MBS.

And why exactly is Jared Kushner doing this? Did he ever divest of his business interests? Did he ever finalize his security clearance paperwork accurately? I thought he was solving the Israel Peace problem ... oh and China!

Donnie needs to know if he should cancel his tee times the next two weeks.

If trump shuts down the government, he and every member of Congress should have to stay in Washington until they reach an agreement. No Christmas for Government employees, no Christmas for trump or Congress!

Someone explain to me why on earth Jared Kushner is involved in any of this? Such a farce.

What a cast.

Ya, all the bipartisans in one room...I think not...good try on the tang freebasing suckers buying into this crap.

Well, then there should be nothing to worry about.

Well, that went well...not. What is Jared Useless doing anyway?

I feel terrible for federal employees who are going in to the new year having to worry when they will get paid and how they will provide for their families while 45 plays games.

At least they're still debating... Unbelievable how this all is going down... USA Republicans Democrats Trump

They shouldn't even be received by TheDemocrats (or the gop) on the Hill. Everyone should just Put 'Be back in January' signs on their doors.

Incoming Speaker Pelosi has publicly stated she would shut the govenment down for good to prevent funding the security wall. I say go for it. Lay off everyone except our military which is all we need anyway.

That's stunning. How are those three people involved in anything to do with this country, at that level? TrumpResign

Band of Puppets!

He is not getting money for his wall. What is there to negotiate

The three stooges...

Interesting that Donald isn't involved in the negotiations. Of course, if he negotiated with Dems the way he negotiated with Erdogan, he'd be pulling out of the White House by now.

Lets not let illegals get in line in front of those that came here legally. Let's give the folks that waited in line the respect they deserve and give THE WALL to those that try to come here ILLEGALLY! SchumerShutdown BuildOurWallNOW

Is a pardon for Jared on the table?

Tell the Dems to build the wall.

Vice President Mike Pence says he won't accept pay raise during government shutdownMike Pence was set to get a $12,800 pay raise this weekend, but the vice president said he wouldn't accept it amid the government shutdown. How fucking noble. How much did they get from Russia through the NRA tho? Since he's only had the job since 2016, he can't possibly 'not have received a pay raise since 2010.' You mean the VP job hasn't received a raise? Not Pence himself. Biden was was 2010-16.
