      You have no idea what "compromise" means, do you? The Democrats are also not getting what they want. Why are they shutting the government down and hurting the country? As a reminder, the constitutional process for funding is "congress proposes, the president disposes." Congress needs to provide a funding bill the president, as is his constitutional prerogative, will accept.

        • Maybe the shutdown is God’s punishment for electing Trump.

              Or perhaps Nutsy Pelosi is God's punishment for not supporting our duly elected President.

                Assuming that is the case, how soon do you think it should end?

                  AKA Trump needs to do whatever’s they want and act like the typical spineless Republican.

                    No, the only reason Trump is digging in his heels, is to pander to his relatively small base. Defacto president Anne Coulter has threatened to withdraw her support if he doesn't. Two thirds of the country don’t want a Trumpian-style wall.

                      And the democrats didn't choose to shut down the government over it, Trump did. And no, we have 3 co-equal branches of government, and though it seems you republicans would like it to be so, the President is not the King.

                        Nope, but it does mean that he isn't going to get whatever he wants by abusing his power and shutting down the government.

                          That’s rich, coming from a defender of ‘pen and a phone’ Obama.

                            So Obama was abusing his power during government shut downs?

                              No, Obama care was already law, so republicans were defunding existing law in order to try and undermine it. The Wall is not law, it's what is being negotiated.

                                In other words:

                                Democrats are never wrong and no matter what, Republicans are guilty, no matter what.

                                Thanks for showing how much of a hack you are. Couldn’t have done it without you. In reality land, nothing Trump is doing is against the law or wrong. You just don’t like it because you’re a robot that says whatever his masters tell him.
