BUILD THE WALL !

USE SEIZED MEX DRUG CARTELS $$$ TO PAY FOR IT

[V K Lee]

Congress proves themselves to be as much the LIAR as Barock Hussain O’Bama and BOTH PARTIES. The fools allow illegals to vote thus destroying the country and their do-nothing, know-nothing jobs. NO MORE PAYCHECKS for these imbecile no brainers.

Why would the GOP controlled Congress go against their cheap labor express globalist overloads? Face it, past GOP support for building the wall was pure pandering for votes. Like votes against Obamacare, the GOP knew full well building the wall would never be enacted.

Let’s refresh our memory on who voted and how on The Secure Fence Act.............

art of the deal

It is time to kill the Senate filibuster. Repeal Obamacare, and if there is a replacement at all make it a pure GOP replacement. Fund the wall, even if there is not even one Democrat/Socialist vote for it. Eliminate useless FedGov spending. Let’s make this year count!

"Nancy Pelosi dismisses the wall as 'immoral, expensive and unwise.'”

Start construction of the wall immediately while simultaneously working the funding, even if it means replacing the initial effort with upgraded sections at a later date. By then Mexico might want to purchase the old portions to erect on their southern border.

Encourage pelosi to inspect the southern side of the wall when it is fully functional.

Folded on Obama care,the Wall,now folding on getting out of the fraud of climate change by staying in the a Paris climate agreement,next he will fold on tax cuts,Trump is not running the government,Ryan and the Rinks are

Kinda figured this was going to happen. It boils down to money. Free chicken in every pot and I will set you free stuff. Trying to get 14 billion out of money transfers aint gonna work. If Jose is sending a couple of hundred dollars to Mexico via wire transfer he’ll stop doing that and hire a mule to take it by bus, boat or plane. He wants to send 500 down to Mrs. Jose so he pays a legal 100 in cash to take 500 in cash down and so on.

For the record Charles....... Mexico is going to pay for the wall, not the American taxpayers

Build the wall around CONgre$$, aka The Gang of 535. It should be a federal prison. Conmen/collectivists/creeps/criminals/deceivers/dolts/elitists/marxists/morons/liars/looters/progs/punks/rats/rinos/socialists/scumbags/tyrants/totalitarians and unipartarians have gutted this great republic.

20 trillion times worse than King George.

The GOP Has a Nuclear Option ...:

Rick Klein and Shushannah Walsh:
“Want to really blow up the Senate – and fast?
A new proposal is emerging that would likely do just that, and it has nothing to do with Senate Democrats’ vow to filibuster Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch.
A proposal is being pushed by some Senate Republicans that would seek to ensure that a House-passed bill could be passed intact by only a simple majority of senators.”

“How would that work?
Well, the vice president, of course, is the president of the Senate.
The thinking goes
that if the Senate parliamentarian ruled that parts of the bill can’t be folded into budget reconciliation, Vice President Mike Pence could simply overrule that.
Sen. Rand Paul wants the White House to make that commitment now:
‘That alone, I think, would break the logjam,’ he told reporters Thursday.
Perhaps, but that’s not all it would break.
This would be the executive branch’s changing the rules of the upper legislative body.
Filibusters could be broken, perhaps in any circumstance, at the whim of the vice president.
In honor of a certain former veep, that would be a BFD.”

Here's more from an excerpt from another source about the option of "The Nuclear Option for Legislation in the Senate":

Cruz Pushes Obamacare Repeal Gambit That Could Roil the Senate

... Cruz’s answer:
lean on Vice President Mike Pence’s gavel to dodge those procedural limits and broaden the legislation’s scope.

It’s not at all clear whether Cruz’s colleagues will go along.
The move relies on a radical interpretation of the vice president’s constitutional role as presiding officer of the Senate,
where he could step in and effectively overrule the chamber’s parliamentarian.
It would resemble the so-called nuclear option of ending filibusters ...

... Representative Dave Brat of Virginia, the conservative who unseated then-House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in a 2014 primary, told reporters he doesn’t buy leadership’s excuse that they can’t pursue a far bolder plan.

He said Ryan is overstating the case that existing rules can’t allow an insurance overhaul. “He wants to be respectful of Senate rules, I do not,” Brat said.

“From what I understand,” Brat said, “whoever’s sitting in the chair has authority over the parliamentarian.
So they can rewrite the rules.”

To speed passage of an Obamacare replacement -- and circumvent Democratic opposition, Republicans opted for a budgetary procedure called reconciliation
that requires only a simple majority in the Senate,
but only if the legislation has minimal effect on the deficit.

GOP leaders, including Ryan, have said this is limiting their ability to include provisions popular with conservatives like selling insurance across state lines.

The Texas senator, who had dinner with Trump this week, said Ryan and Senate GOP leaders are wrong.

“You don’t need to override the parliamentarian or get a new parliamentarian.
It is the vice president who rules,” he told reporters Thursday.

Having Pence rule against established norms for what is allowed in a reconciliation bill would undo decades of Senate tradition of deferring to the parliamentarian’s rulings.
It could also potentially allow both parties far wider latitude in the future to avoid a 60-vote threshold for all sorts of provisions that don’t directly impact spending or taxes.

Representative Trent Franks of Arizona, another conservative, said
trying to craft an Obamacare repeal bill to meet the Senate’s current interpretation of its rules is "untenable."

"... If you get the job done he looks a little differently on the other side," he said.

... "Under the Budget Act of 1974, which is what governs reconciliation, it is the presiding officer, the vice president of the United States, who rules what is permissible on reconciliation and what is not,” Cruz said.
“And that is a conversation I have been having with a number of my colleagues.” ...

So in ending the DemocRATS 'political war', let me end my comment by stating, "It's time to NUKE THE DemocRATS !"
