Sucks they just wasted their time, Guess President Trump is the only fucking republican with any balls. Doesn't matter if he likes this bill or not, the freedom caucus won't vote for it I guarantee you.Republicans were desperate to avoid another bruising shutdown. They tentatively agreed to far less money for President Donald Trump's border wall than the White House's $5.7 billion wish list, settling for a figure of nearly $1.4 billion, according to congressional aides. The funding measure is through the fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30.Trump will take his 50 miles of new fence and claim that is what he wanted all alongFrom NPR:
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., one of the negotiators working on the deal, told reporters after Monday evening's meeting that both sides had to give some.
"Not a single one of us going to get every single thing we want but nobody does. But we're going to get what is best for the United States," Leahy said.
Shelby says White House staff was kept apprised of the talks but none of the top negotiators would say if they have any guarantees that President Trump will sign the deal. "We think so, we hope so," Shelby said when pressed about whether the president would back the proposal.
Shelby told reporters that he believes Congress can approve the legislation and send it to Trump for his signature before the Friday night deadline to avert another partial shutdown.
That right there tells me the Democrats are up to their old tricks; trying to screw the Republicans and saying they did everything the could.
If Trump doesn't get his fence/ walls/ barriers, he should tell Democrats the price just went up to 10 billion, and the government will stay shutdown until the day he leaves office if that's what it takes.
Congressional lawmakers reach deal on border wall funding
The Freedom Caucus is a minority and cannot defeat it. The trouble is that Trump uses his balls for brains. He lies every time he opens his mouth or tweets.
