They claim to care about federal workers but theyve been so busy hanging out on the beaches of puerto rico at heading broadway shows. The president asked nancy pelosi directly, sheik keeps claiming you have to open the government before we can negotiate. He asked her point blank, if i open the government, will you work with me and give me Border Security funding, including the wall. She said no.
