Why in the %&^& did Trump not insist on funding for the wall when the Republicans held the House!!!!   :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: 

At least then it might have had a chance!

They did pass it.  The problem is they need 60 votes in the Senate to close debate (cloture) and then a simple majority to actually pass the bill.
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Did they really?  I did not know that.   :facepalm:

So why did he not insist the senate pass that bill then before it was too late!
