As the nation’s capital is consumed by the Democrats' impeachment inquiry, President Donald Trump on Sunday signaled that he is not committed to keeping the federal government open later this month -- setting up another potential government shutdown ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.
Lawmakers must come to terms on 12 appropriations bills that fund all federal agencies, or pass another stop-gap continuing resolution -- maintaining current spending levels until they can agree to terms on any changes. "I believe left to our own devices Congress could work out an agreement to quickly fund the government," Schumer, D-N.Y., told reporters on Capitol Hill."But I’m increasingly worried that President Trump may want to shut down the government again because of impeachment, an impeachment inquiry. He always wants to create diversions."
"There’s no small amount of irony associated with the fact the president is apparently being impeached over in the House for holding up aid to Ukraine and at the same time Democrats are going to filibuster the defense bill, which would provide for the assistance to Ukraine," McConnell, R-Ky., said last week.
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer told reporters he would like to see a continuing resolution fund government until Christmas. Democrats don’t support that and their bill, which has only passed out of committee, does not include any new funds for the border wall. An aide said Democrats are open to increasing Homeland Security funding -- for Coast Guard ice breakers, for example -- but they insist any offsets cannot come from domestic programs in the Labor and HHS title.
While the politics of impeachment rage, appropriators don’t see the political showdown impeding the appropriations negotiations. Lawmakers and senior aides on their staffs are considered"essential" personnel who are exempt from a shutdown.
Epstein’s victims ought to own ABC by now for burying their story and allowing a monster to thrive!!! Shame on you!!!
“But I don’t want to pardon a turkey!” “Can’t pardon a Turkey if the government is closed”
TrueFactsStated Prediction: GOP and/or POTUS conditions approval of any funding bill on dropping the ImpeachmentInquiry You heard it here first.
TrueFactsStated Government shutdown is yet another way for Trump to distract from the impeachment inquiry. The man will do anything and doesn't care who or how many get hurt.
TrueFactsStated Happy holidays.
May be? Lol omg. You people keep giving him pass after pass. “realDonaldTrump will probably hold America hostage with a government shutdown unless impeachment stopped.”
Every American should be asking themselves these questions...... Why am I paying TAXES on my wages? Then paying Sales Tax to spend my money. Then paying Income Taxes on my money they already TAXED and paying Property Taxes after I already paid Sales Tax on said property!
Good... Shut it down
I hope not, but it would be just like trump to shut down the government just because he's going through impeachment. there should be a clause that White House Staff doesn't work during shut downs and Congress goes without pay as well.
Trump is a selfish, myopic, vengeful narcissist. All that hate in one man.
Another attempt to stop impeachment?
Good
Government shutdowns is about the only thing the GOP is capable of accomplishing
I feel like when this is over, we won't even remember how Presidents behave.
Democrats have done nothing. More subpoenas issued than legislation proposed. They R fixated on ImpeachAndRemove 2 win next election instead of doing their jobs. ImpeachmentHoax if GOP did this, MainstreamMedia would B criticizing GOP 4 dereliction of duty
now he is going 2 bully everyone by holding their paychecks over their head 2 keep from having the impeachment trial happen another show of guilt & will hurt the American people because of it 45 the coward will do anything 2 get his way Why do Republicans let him get away with it
7NY He ain’t backing down from that wall, 9 Americans died in Mexico, he’s not goin to let it go again, either wall or no government open
Let's play some golf while those suckers who elected us worry about money for the holidays.
Because they’re too consumed with the witch-hunt to be doing their actual job. LiberalHypocrisy
a fascist take over. What will they think of next?
Like your Epstein coverage?
Good time to release the IG report.,
Trump,best President ever!
Hopefully permanent this time. Show Schiff and Pelosi who's boss.
Do you have a story about Epstein you’d like to run or nah?
That's because they don't do any work what have they done besides obsess over impeachment which is all bogus
'With the House of Representatives in the midst of a 10-day recess, the House and Senate have just eight legislative days remaining where both chambers are in session to strike a deal to avert a government shutdown ahead of the Nov. 21 deadline.' WHY?
Shocker
The picture needs to be of congress not the president, congress needs to do something other than spread lies on the president!
Here’s the real story!
Just stop!
This is what innocent people do.

MSM is headed towards a shutdown. The only people who need you any longer are those who are illegal or those who don't have a high-school education. EpsteinCoverup FakeNews Trade the name for Clinton for Trump or Kavanaugh in the failed to run Epstein story.

Soooooo...it would appear that the boycott of ABCNews and other MSM 'sources' is: JUSTIFIED ABCNews under George Stephanopoulos couldn't identify truth if it jumped up and bit them in the a**.
ABC buried a credible story of an known Sexual Predator to Protect Ckinton and many 3 years ago when the 2016 Presidential run was going on. Liberal fake news is the enemy of people.They only report the stories that support their far left agenda for the country. FakeNewsMedia
