Trump blinked...WTG Nancy Pelosi!! 👏👍

In reversal, White House shifts border wall funding demands, wants to avoid shutdown

By Maegan Vazquez, Abby Phillip and Allie Malloy, CNN

Updated 11:46 AM ET, Tue December 18, 2018

Washington (CNN)White House press secretary Sarah Sanders suggested Tuesday that the White House has found an alternative way to get its requested $5 billion in funding for a US-Mexico border wall, marking a reversal from President Donald Trump's previous position.

Sanders indicated that the White House could support a compromise bill to avoid a partial government shutdown later this week.
"We have other ways that we can get to that $5 billion (for a border wall)," Sanders said Tuesday morning during an interview with Fox News.

"We’ve been saying just go fund me the wall. And if prez announced a web page people would flick to it. Been saying this even here on FR for two damn years. Nice to see someone in govt act now like they have a big bright new idea."

"I’ll buy wall coins, wall bonds, whatever!"

"Why not Wall Bonds. Like War Bonds."

etc.

They are going to ask every MAGAT to send in $80 and build the wall them damn selves. Then, when NAFTA 2.0 savings start kicking in, all the MAGATs will get their $80 back plus another $120 in interest, and a free car, built in Mexico. tRump said so, himself.

Sure Sarah Smokey Eyes.

"The President has asked every one of his Cabinet secretaries to look for funding that can be used...."

Good luck with that.

And then we'll sell the wall to Mexico at a really good price. Then they'll sell it to the Russians at a small profit. Then the Russians will sell it to the Kusners at a profit. The Kushners will turn around and sub-divide the wall to lease it to individuals wanting a piece of the wall. Everyone makes money and no one actually pays for it. Because the Kushner lease scheme will fail. They'll default on the loan and we'll have to bring in another round of dirty Russian money....Rinse and repeat (pun intended).

like to fund a senseless ego/vanity project. Good for Nancy Pelosi that she refused signing on to a $1B slush fund for Trumpski's 'deal.' Sarah Huckabee will just need to find those other 'pots of money' to pilfer.

Personally? I wouldn't trust Trumpski with a red hot nickel.
