Chief of Staff Kelly Set Up President Trump for Amnesty Fiasco
Breitbart ^ | September 15, 2017 | Neil Munro

Posted on 09/16/2017 1:31:39 PM PDT by Pinkbell

White House Chief of Staff John Kelly ensured that President Donald Trump was literally surrounded by amnesty boosters the night he agreed to give away a huge, expensive and unpopular amnesty in exchange for an empty bag of “border security” promises.

The September 13 amnesty deal has proved so half-baked and disastrous that Kelly and other top officials have promised to develop a new immigration reform plan within ten days which matches Trump’s 2016 campaign proposals.

The Kelly set-up was exposed by the seating chart, which seated Trump between the two Democratic leaders, Sen. Chuck Schumer and  Rep. Nancy Pelosi. According to the Washington Post:

Act One was the dinner itself, a meal of honey sesame crispy beef, sticky rice and chocolate cream pie for dessert, with Schumer and Pelosi flanking Trump on both sides.

Another person in the room was Trump’s congressional relations chief, Marc Short, who is a former president of a Koch brothers’ pro-immigration group.  On September 12, he suggested the president should trade his campaign promise of a border wall in exchange for tax-breaks sought by CEOs. On a Friday MSNBC show, Short admitted the September 13 seating was deliberate when he answered a question from MSNBC’s Hallie Jackson about Pelosi being ignored by other politicians at the meeting, saying:

I was there, Hallie … The conversation was one that was very friendly and very jovial, and I don’t recall any conversation about women being left out of the conversation. In fact, we seated Nancy Pelosi right next to the president so her opinions could be heard.

Trump was partly supported in the meeting by Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, who asked, “What exactly does the president get out of this deal?” But Ross is also an advocate for using immigration to help companies cut salaries for white-collar professionals.

Yeah, that’s one of the things I mentioned that’s so concerning - the purging of Trump supporters via McMaster on the NSC. He’s replacing them with Obama people.

Assange can prove where he got the information from, and if it wasn’t Russia, he can prove that.

I disagree because the facts are clear.. Trump on the wall is getting his arse handed to him by Mexico. So, either he can’t read history, doesn’t know history or he is incompetent. This wall deal is how we got anchor babies.. and no darn wall.
I am ok with someone who can’t read... but I am not ok with an incompetent leader. He has never threatened a veto, not even when Bernie put out his single pay or deathcare.

Just sent the following email to the White House.
(The link to the WH is below)

Dear Mr. President,
Millions of us campaigned on social media — HARD — for you, voted for you and encouraged those around us to do so!

Why? Because many of us considered you our last, best hope to hold off the tyrannical dark forces of the deep state bureaucrats, the establishment elites and their intelligence organizations (i.e. THE SWAMP) and preserve some semblance of AMERICA — the IDEA — left us by the Founders. If The Swamp succeeds, future generations — at least those who survive their government school INDOCTRINATION — will justifiably curse us all.

Mr. President, you may not yet realize that you are being isolated from the very folks — and LIBERTY BASED IDEAS — that put you in office. You may be too close to that problem to see it. We see it and are terrified as we contemplate the outcome.

Rather than prattle on further, I have attached a link to an essay laying out SOME of the problem you face. If this email survives your new gate keepers — and that’s a HUGE “IF” — please read it to better understand that instead of DRAINING THE SWAMP, you are in the process of DROWNING in it!

Respectfully,
Dick & Sharon Bachert
PS: And you might ask General McMaster why he’s cashiering YOUR supporters while protecting — and promoting — the Obama holdovers in the Intel agencies?

Wow, I disagree completely. We are operating from completely different data sets.

Only an ignorant person would think Trump is incompetent. Period. You are ignorant. You need to keep up and stop telling outright lies.

Bernie Sanders is pushing hard for a single payer healthcare plan - a curse on the U.S. & its people...— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 14, 2017



...I told Republicans to approve healthcare fast or this would happen. But don't worry, I will veto because I love our country & its people.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 14, 2017

No, that would merely ahoq that somebody else had the info. It would not tell us whether Russia ALSO had the info, nor would it tell us whether the second party got the info from Russia. You cannot prove a negative. Period. Full stop.

Tell me the lie I told. Ignorance is not knowing the last wall deal got anchor babies. Don you truly think a deal with shumer and Pelosi will put Americans first and instill limited government? Is that your belief? That’s not ignorant, that’s dangerous to a free country

This is what you said;

“He has never threatened a veto, not even when Bernie put out his single pay or deathcare.”

That is a lie.
