The 2018 Christmas shutdown is starting to look a lot like 2016 – when government funding lapsed for 16 days – or 1995-1996, when a partisan showdown between Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich lasted 21 days

A seven year old girl would be alive today if there had been a wall. Her dad entered 95 miles away and brought his sick daughter the long hard way so he could sneak in and enter as a family unit. A wall would have prevented that.

And what do you do with a child who's having a temper tantrum? Put them in their room with nothing to do and not let them out until they change their tune! Lol! You have to treat this guy like the child he is.

😁😁I would accept $5Million. That's all I want for Christmas!!! 😆Oh, and world peace! ✌️

Good! We must protect our borders

NO ONE CARES

Prediction: the logjam will only break when Trump sets upon a bigger distraction.

Trump definitely runs government like his businesses: failing, shut down, and shirking its debts to the people it hired.

How much of that $5 billion will find its way into Trump's pocket?

If Trump is willing to accept less $$ for BorderWall, clear only political prop. Democrats have offered $1.6B for border security; Trump hasnt spent $ has now. $ for border shld go to judges to hear asylum cases, social workers to help & path to legalization for Dreamers

Mexico will pay for the space between the steel slats.

mattis said a brain from a child of 5 years old, was wrong he has no brain

Literally stupid following of the laser pointer.

And nobody is noticing. Because shutdowns aren’t a big deal. Except to the leftie media. merrychristmas tcot p2

All I want for Christmas is open borders to keep the drug and sex trade alive and well

Pathetic

Extortion!

He is just getting coal for Christmas not a wall Almost 2019 Hold on Congress Don’t rush it’s only a week

A wall Trump said 'Mexico will pay for!!!!

'Walls in people's heads are sometimes more durable than walls made of concrete blocks.” ― Willy Brandt, Erinnerungen

Trump owns this one!!! Can't blame it on anyone else but him! He said he'd do it and he did. Thanks for f**king Americans right before Christmas realDonaldTrump ! Proves what kind of an a**hole he is! Doesn't give a crap about ANYONE but himself.

Another day of realDonaldTrump tweets is another day that roils the markets. Down, down, down. What would happen if he just STFU? TrumpResign

All I want for Christmas... 😇

Ice bath for Jesus: Orthodox worshippers celebrate EpiphanySOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) — Thousands of Orthodox Christian worshippers have plunged into icy rivers and lakes across Bulgaria to recover crucifixes cast by priests in ceremonies commemorating the baptism of Jesus Christ. Tradition holds that the person who retrieves the wooden cross will be freed from evil spirits and will be healthy throughout the year. After the cross is fished out, the priest sprinkles believers with water using a bunch of basil. Epiphany is held every year on Jan. 6 and marks the end of the 12 days of Christmas. They are better men than me. Smh the phenomenon, idolatry, is worrying, everywhere, except in china it seems. don't forget the 2nd of the 10 commandments. don't pray to idols.

Robinhood: The controversial app worth $5 billion that's trying to upend Wall StreetRobinhood says it's trying to 'democratize America's financial system' by making investing accessible to the little guy with free trades. But is this millennial focused FinTech juggernaut more like a traditional brokerage than you'd expect? I don’t make much but Robinhood doesn’t charge me so I’m able to put away what I can because of it. Im tired of TD AMERITRADE ripping me off with fees.

Using the money from remorseless trump and remorseless Republicans they gave corporations in 2016 tax scam ! Asbestos isn't safe though. 1/7 men experience prostate in their lifetimes. This product has been around like 47 years. The uptick of prostate cancer correlates. They've lied about asbestos in the talcum. We will never know the disastrous effects this has caused the world. Scrambling to boost the share price of their executive stock options. What a wise use of R&D capital.
