Democrats will try to avert a government shutdown this week as legislation for TrumpCare/RyanCare/WealthCare and government funding flops on the floor of the House and Senate.
Nobody wants to build the Tortilla Curtain except Trump and as Congress debates spending measures, there's a possibility that funding for the Tortilla Curtain could shut down the government seeing as how Mexico isn't actually going to pay for it.
Trump's Tortilla Curtain is definitely going to be built, but not right now, though it will be earlier than expected, eventually.
Trump is so kind of maybe sure that the Tortilla Curtain will probably be built soonish his administration is already eye-balling border towns.
Jeff Sessions thinks Mexicans in America could pay for the Tortilla Curtain from all the money they're picking from the pocket of Uncle Sam.
Remember all those jobs at that air conditioner company Mike Pence "saved," you know, the 800 jobs that Trump took credit for? The other 700 people who lost their jobs aren't very happy right.
The arch rival of Mitch McConnell and former Trump campaign official in Kentucky, Tim Nolan, a former county district judge and schoolboard member, was arraigned for sex trafficking. Nolan previously wanted to be a fight promoter, but had his dreams shattered when photos surfaced of him in a KKK outfit this past June.
North Korea has kidnapped a Korean-American professor teaching in a North Korean university, a career choice that is about as noble as it is stupid. Luckily, Chinese President Xi Jinping called Trump in order calm him down before he could start World War III.

Poor Melon Trump! After trying to make it as a model and marrying a self-indulgent and power hungry asshole, she's trying to be a mom while locked in a glass tower and having to compete with her step-kids for attention.
Sean Hannity is being accused of sexual harassment, and that's about as hilarious as it is really sad and pathetic that ANOTHER Fox News fuck head is being accused of grab-ass.
Supreme Chancellor Bannon may have helped manipulate the shrill and inarticulate screams of ignorant racists at Breitbart yelling about a career civil servant because of her interest in making Not America less shitty.
Now that O'Reilly's out, the nightly cable news wars have begun. Will Tucker tap out as CNN tweaks Tapper? Will Chris Hayes Bern down the elites? How bad will Maddow kick Hannity's ass?
