Then don’t. But don’t resort to talking trash either.

Spoken like a true partisan hack. Pretending Trump doesn't at least own a big chunk of the shutdown just isn't credible.
I'm a moderate and no fan of Pelosi OR Trump, BTW.

This president has exacerbated my PTSD so much that in average I spend 3 out of 7 night sleeping in a closet with my dog. I cry, I shake, I get stuck in mental loops. *uck I'm in the closet now stuck in a loop. I'm stuck in a *ucking loop because of a *ucking racist wall.

This is all just a fucking sideshow to keep you distracted while the rich fucking corporations enslave your dumb fucking asses.
The media has kept you constantly at each other's throats when in really there are only about three core issues separating the average republican from the average democrat. They want you to hate each other. It's in their interest.

You are now entering the United States. Please pick up your welfare application, housing subsidy, obamacare card and food stamps vouchers at your chosen destination. Membership in criminal gangs and drug cartels is optional.
Cheers!

Same with the false meme that illegal aliens are a pack of criminals.
For that one, I simply googled "are illegal aliens criminals".

Why spout such nonsense, when it's so easily shown to be false?
The Bureau of Prisons is responsible for the custody and care of federal inmates. As of December 2017, BOP has custody of 38,132 known or suspected aliens. This represents approximately 21 percent of the total BOP population — meaning that one in five BOP inmates is an alien.
Of the 38,132 known or suspected aliens, approximately 66 percent were unlawfully present in the United States.
Some analysts charge that the reason there are so many aliens in federal custody is that they are there for primarily immigration-related offenses. This is certainly true, as about 29 percent of aliens in BOP custody have committed immigration offenses such as illegal reentry after removal.
But most of the aliens are incarcerated because of other federal crimes they committed. According to the report, 46 percent of these aliens committed drug trafficking or other drug-related offenses, which was the largest crime category committed by aliens in BOP custody. The remaining 25 percent committed a variety of other criminal offenses, including fraud, weapons charges, racketeering, and sexual crimes. Clearly, the large population of aliens in BOP custody cannot simply be explained away by immigration crimes.

Agreed.
No doubt now that Trump has made a compromise offer (whether the dems like it or not), the ball is in the dem's court until they make a counter-offer. And they no longer can validly claim Trump "owns the shutdown", if he's willing to negotiate and they aren't.
