CNN is now siding with Bozo on the shutdown and the wall

Painting Trump's offer as a compromise is part if it.

Blaming the Dems for making an offer with no wall money in it is the other part.

Trump expected to propose extending DACA, TPS protections in exchange for wall funding

President Donald Trump is expected to propose extending protections for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients and individuals with Temporary Protected Status in exchange for border wall funding in his remarks Saturday afternoon, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to CNN.

The President's latest offer, which he is set to deliver from the White House Saturday at 4 p.m. ET, will link his demand for $5.7 billion for a border wall to the BRIDGE Act, legislation that would extend protections for so-called "Dreamers," undocumented immigrants who arrived in the US as children and are covered by the DACA program.

The compromise proposal would also allow immigrants covered by Temporary Protected Status -- some of whose protections Trump has rescinded -- to remain in the country. 

. . . .

Democrats have so far refused to provide any funding for the border wall and have insisted that Trump reopen the government before a broader immigration or border security deal can be hashed out.

Trump's proposal comes as House Democrats are pushing forward with legislation to beef up security at the borders -- without funding for the wall -- a move bound to intensify the standoff over a partial government shutdown heading into its fifth week.

Bozo cannot be allowed to win anything by use of a shutdown.

Nothing at all.

Politicians have got to stop thinking a shutdown is a legitimate and useful weapon in the interplay between the presidency and the congress.

We have to take this weapon out of their hands, along with the debt ceiling.
