Trump warns it could be a 'long stay' amid impasse over border wall
The Capitol was quiet Saturday morning in the opening hours of a partial government shutdown, after lawmakers went home Friday evening with the government still at an impasse over President Trump’s demands for billions of dollars to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
Both the House and Senate opened at noon Saturday, but there were no signs of progress in negotiations, which have only been happening at the staff level since a brief huddle late Friday afternoon with Vice President Pence and Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.).
Few lawmakers were in the Capitol building Saturday morning, and no votes were scheduled in either chamber. Many lawmakers took off Friday night to return to their homes as they await word of the talks, having been assured that they will get 24 hours notice before any vote occurs to reopen the government.
That all but guarantees the shutdown will last at least through the weekend.

If the dotard thinks a long shutdown is winning reality is going to slap him upside the head really hard.
