Schumer offers to fully fund the wall, regrets it immediately, retracts offer

Last week, you may have heard rumblings of a last-minute deal. The hope was that we'd all be able to avoid the not-at-all-phony horror of a government shutdown if both sides worked together. We don't know all the details of this supposed detente, but one thing did leak: Chuck Schumer had offered to fund the border wall in exchange for DACA protections. Now, I know what you're thinking. There's simply no way on Earth you could trust Democrats to uphold their end of that bargain. You're right, the offer was probably phony, or came with so many attached strings that construction would never come to pass. Still, that was the word on the street. Schumer was on board with the evil, racist, wall.
