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

(1,588 posts)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.

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

(5,499 posts)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).

(10,830 posts)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.
