Rep Jordan on Spending Bill: ‘The American People Didn’t Elect Democrats to Control Congress (tr)
Breitbart ^ | March 22, 2018 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 03/22/2018 12:05:39 PM PDT by EdnaMode

Thursday on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” House Freedom Caucus vice chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) slammed GOP leadership for allowing what is predicted to be the passage of a $1.3 trillion spending bill that does not include many of the priorities on which Republicans, including President Donald Trump, campaigned.

Jordan took issue mainly with the funding for Planned Parenthood, restrictions on guns and lack of border wall funding.

Totally agreed. I really hope he vetoes it.

Trump better veto this crap budget.

Certainly wouldn't disappoint me but would burn unity with the Congress. Better that a groundswell of outcry to our congressmen and Senators kill it prior to passage.

Now there I am really screwed. My Rep is out of office looking for surrogates elsewhere. My Senator's hate Trump and will do anything to see him fail. I am in the most populated and Republican county in Arizona and I don't have a cock to send to the fight.

The demoncrats control our 4 trillion dollar corrupt stasi state. The repubikan congressman don’t even read or write the bills they pass in their own name. They are kabuki actors for the swamp.

In the bill it stipulates there can be no concrete wall and it is only 686 mil not 1.8 funding for fence.

Go on social media — Twitter in particular — and tweet your anger at Trump. He pays attention.

Yep, tough talk will not put Humpty back together again. People are sick of voting only to get betrayed.

We have no wall, we still have Obamacare, DACA caca, sanctuary cities, etc. you name it. When does the little guy get something?

My Rep wrote to me and said why he voted against this monstrosity. I sent him a high five.

In which event, he is likely not the man he has led us to believe he is.

I.e., our nation will continue to deteriorate at a somewhat accelerating rate, at least in the short term. But I'm not quite ready to throw in the towel on Trump yet; he remains the best, if not the only game in town for us.

The people elected what they thought were Republicans who, in turn, elected spineless toadies to all the leadership positions. This “leadership” has basically turned the keys to Congress over to the left.

It will be no surprise when the base decides NOT to turn out for the mid-terms and the GOP returns to their more comfortable position as the minority party. A little less graft but oh so much less responsibility.

What's the difference between Democrats and Republicans anymore?

There is none. The difference is between the uniParty and MAGA.

I would like Republicans to articulate what the difference is in terms of what elected politicians do.

The Swamp strikes back. The primaries are over and they are entitled.

Agreed. Hopefully more MAGA candidates will start winning elections.

Yes, they did. Enough just didn’t know it.

Since WWII:

Trotskyists (Neocons) usurped the RNC (there is no GOP).

They are globalist leftists in thin disguise.

Tariffs used to be an RNC platform plank.

Make no mistake:

The RINOpublicans want to lose the House.

This is a win-win for these traitors:

1) Promote the leftist agenda that they semi-covertly desire.

2) Lose the House so they can provide matador defense to DemoKKKrat articles of impeachment.

They did not buckle. They are not afraid of the DemoKKKrats or the Enemedia.

They are afraid of Donald Trump and We The People.
