With Washington a little more than 24 hours away from a partial government shutdown, the House of Representatives on Thursday passed a spending bill that includes an additional $5 billion for President Donald Trump's long-promised border wall. The vote was 217-185.
The $5 billion is in line with what the President has requested of Congress, but passage of the measure doesn't appear to have moved Washington any closer to averting a shutdown at the end of the week.
That's because the bill next heads to the Senate, where it is expected to be dead on arrival due to opposition over the border wall money.
Democrats have already made clear they will not support $5 billion for the wall, and any spending measure would need bipartisan support to pass in the Senate.
The question now is whether a partial shutdown can still be averted. Funding will expire for several key government agencies at midnight on Friday. If the deadline is not extended, those agencies will shutter just days before Christmas.

But … but … Nancy Pelosi told Trump that the Republicans didn't have the votes in the House to pass it.

Well, there are so many of them there, it would be pretty hard to keep them all sorted out.
Maybe they should have their foreheads, or cheeks branded - LC1, LC2, LC3, and so forth. LOL !!!

At the current rate? About 200 years -- the same amount of time it took to build the Great Wall of China.

He has done exactly what he said he would. If not for the MSM, demoncraps and never trumpers he would have already accomplished everything he claimed he would in less than 2 years. Trump is probably the most honest politician in history!
I guess that makes you the biggest liar here!

I look forward to the next State of the Union where he will have a chance to directly tell the American people what he has accomplished.
There are so many positive stories the MSM refuses to report.

Of course they did. You have to start building the damn thing before you can predict a finish date.
The longest journey........
