Title: GOP Senators Send Trump ‘Amnesty-Or-Shutdown’ Threat
Post by: Solar on January 18, 2018, 04:00:38 PM
OK, Establishment Marxists think they have Trump cornered, right?
Read what I bolded below from another article.


QuotePro-amnesty GOP Senators are working hand-in-glove with Democrats to block a government budget until President Donald Trump agrees to break his campaign promise and his presidency by amnestying millions of wage-lowering illegal immigrants.

President Donald Trump has the discretion to define which federal government operations are defined as "essential services" receiving funding throughout a "government shutdown," said Gosar:

The president has a lot of cheese here ... If Congress can't get their act together, what he can do is, he can deem anything an essential service and go on paying them as he sees fit because of the security of this country, whether it be Homeland Security or our military, the FBI ... and make Congress suffer the consequences, where they're not getting paid. When the government's not in session, the private sector and the American economy benefits to a big degree.

Isn't it interesting to hear the pro-military Senators, Lindsey Graham and Mark Warner would rather DEFUND the military and allow Illegal Aliens into the USA?  These knuckleheads are not FOR the United States, but for some other country?

More like, Panicked. Though, now they'll kick the can down the road and have to deal with it all over again.
They haven't the intellect to go toe to toe with Trump, they're only postponing their own execution. :biggrin:

Right now they are throwing a tantrum on the senate floor.

Typical thug behavior, right before they're arrested. That's when the begging, bargaining and praying to a God they deny exists, begins. :biggrin:

That was just the House. Still have three GOP senators opposing the CR. Graham is showing his true colors after a few months of a charade. Flake is Flake and Paul is opposing for fiscal reasons. Today will be interesting. I hope McConnell makes democrats vote. Those votes will be remembered in November.

Trump should welcome a govt shutdown. Just go on national tv and name all the senators that shut the govt down and say you arent getting  money from the govt because these senators prefer rewarding criminals instead  of you.

I can't help but wonder  if Chuckie and Nanny are trying to shut down the Govt perhaps to delay the declassification of this Damning Memo and perhaps give somebody time to escape, shred documents, and otherwise cover up or what have you?

This is political suicide for the democrats. If the GOP doesn't take advantage of it there is no helping them.

Senator Mark Warner, who CLAIMS to be pro-military in Virgina ... would rather defund & put his constituents at risk for what...?   Illegal Aliens?

They all would. It's a losing proposition for the democrats.

No question about it in my view. If this memo is as damning as being reported there will be ties to folks in high places, especially if there happens to be a couple of indictments.
