President Trump on Monday urged Democrats to "get to work now" on negotiations as a partial government shutdown enters its 24th day.

Trump, who made the comment on Twitter, wrote in a second tweet that Democrats could "end the Shutdown in 15 minutes" and claimed that they are to blame for the funding lapse, which was sparked by demands that legislation include more than $5 billion for his long-promised border wall.

There have been few signs that the shutdown is nearing an end, with Trump continuing to demand wall funding and Democrats vowing not to approve any for the project.

Over the weekend, the shutdown became the longest one in history, passing the previous record of a 21-day shutdown that occurred during the Clinton administration.

2. I listen to liberal talk radio. They use AP radio news about a minute at the top of the hour

They usually but not always are horrible in their reporting.

Today they quoted trumps taunting of Nancy and Chuck. It was so creepy and unprofessional and of course they framed it all from trump and didn't even try to give "both sides".

3. "Uh, this is the director........"

"Control room, que the video......."

“I am proud to shut down the government for border security, Chuck. … I will take the mantle. I will be the one to shut it down. I’m not going to blame you for it.”

5. Democrats want Border Security, NOT A WALL, Donnie Dumb Ass!

Border Security and a Border Wall are 2 separate entities. Trump and the Republicans REFUSE to see things that way.

The more I explain that on Social Media, the madder the Trumpers get.

6. Trump is getting more restless than usual

He misses taking his weekend trips to Mar-a-lago. All this shutdown crap is cutting into his leisure time.

7. The House has a CR passed. The Senate does not. The Dems do not control the Senate.

Do we need to jam Fox and Friends with Schoolhouse Rock's, "I'm just a Bill"?

The Dems have done their part, it is up to the Senate to produce something.
