GOP never funded US border wall but GOP INSISTS that Trump defend Syria’s borders. What gives?

I’m so tired of hearing Trump denounced over Syria by GOP establishment lawmakers. When GOP controlled Congress they didn’t give Trump any funding for our own border wall. But somehow defending Syria’s border is a life or death issue for them? Maybe they should resign, move to the Middle East, and run to be leaders of the Kurds or the Syrian rebels. Their priorities aren’t America First, that’s clear enough

RINOs need to be primaried and defeated where-ever possible! they’re selling out our country for their personal profit, gain

GOP establishment is so worked up about Syria that I could see them joining with Pelosi and Schumer to oust Trump. I’m hearing some talk radio hosts seeming to give them cover this morning

Conservatism Inc cares more about keeping the wars going than anything else, it would seem

On the big things, the ‘Rats and the GOP are in lockstep. The rest is just Kabuki.

We are no longer citizens. We are ruled.

Not asking to defend borders so don’t ####ing lie.

Asking to not let KURDS, who are holding THOUSANDS of ISIS members, get slaughtered.

THEY kept the fight going and likely saved TENS OF THOUSANDS of Christian lives WHILE THE US WAS BEING A BITCH, WITH THE POS THEY ELECTED HELPING ISIS.

Man the #### up on this board because so many of you are closing your eyes to go against the king.

I am MAD at Trump but love what he has done and one issue does not a vote make.

But he ain’t God.

Stop being a Herd.

Sorry, they’re bleating because Turkey is invading across Syria’s border. The Kurdish issue is the latest excuse being used to keep America there forever. There’s ALWAYS an excuse. That’s why we’re still in Afghanistan after 18 years.

As Trump says, we were supposed to be in Syria for 3 months. But Obama and McCain and Hillary were lying. Trump promised to get us out and voters knew and wanted that

Rinos don’t exploit cheap illegal labor- business owners who financially support the Rinos do.

Unless you count the Rinos’ grounds and house keepers.

I am 100% against protecting anyone else’s borders when we haven’t protected our own!

Are you sure about that? I’ve read in more than one place that the Kurds were targeting Christians during fighting.

Although it is probably too late for this, I look at the middle east this way - what do you do when you come upon a couple arguing? You should excuse yourself and slowly back away. Definitely do not get involved. They will (temporarily) end their argument with each other and focus on attacking you.

Unfortunately, we inserted ourselves (or allowed ourselves to be inserted) into the battle between the various middle eastern cultures that were happily fighting and destroying themselves until Europe decided to jump in. And along the way convinced us to join them.

But we would likely have to go back to Jefferson and the Barbary wars to reverse this.

As a Vietnam Veteran, I am happy as hell that President Trump pulled our guys out. Long overdue, Needs to pull out troops out of Afghanistan too, like yesterday.

How many on this site have skin and blood in this game?

Here's the main crux of the problem, DC grifters make money off of both illegal immigration and unending war. That means both the Republican and the Democrat party leaderships never want immigration controlled and they are happy with America grinding up its young men all over the world.

I think the main reason Trump is pulling out of Middle East conflicts is to cut off the fat kickbacks from foreign aid that fund his domestic political enemies. One of the first things you do in any conflict is to try to disrupt the enemies source of supply which in this case is dirty money.
