Mike Pence Stands By Government Shutdown Threat As Thousands Await Federal Harvey Aid
Last week, Trump threatened to block government funding legislation if Congress didn’t approve border wall funding.



Pence told ABC News’s Jonathan Karl on Thursday that the administration’s “top priority” is dealing with Harvey’s aftermath, but noted that Trump remains hellbent on building his border wall, which the president has warned Congress to approve funding for or risk a government shutdown this month.

When pressed whether threatening to block government funding legislation is a responsible move in the wake of the devastating storm, Pence stood by his boss.

“President Trump has made it very clear that we’re going to keep our promise to the American people,” Pence said about the wall’s construction. “We’ve seen great progress in reducing illegal immigration on our southern border and enforcing our laws.”

“The president has made it clear that we’re going to stand firm and we’re going to build a wall and secure our border,” he continued. “But the priority right now for President Trump and this administration is these families.”

1. How us any of this "standing firm"? 45 claimed that his vanity wall

would be paid for by Mexico. That was an obvious lie. Pence is "standing by" a devastating bait-and-switch by a notorious con artist and fraudster. Shame (and worse) on him.

Oh fucking Christ, my hands are too goddam small to erect a wall on my own! Maybe if I throw a tantrum of epic proportions, someone will help me out.... Here comes Pence

5. God, just look at that fucking ugly Nazi!

I am counting the days until he is behind bars. If Mueller doesn't get him, Schneiderman will.

6. If you rely on a check from the government

You might want to start putting some money aside for if the government shuts down the whole federal infrastructure ceases to function..Seems to me like trump is going to hold America hostage till he gets his stupid wall.
