Who is shutting down Homeand Security? They just won’t be allocated any money to work, they will have to work for free.
Thats not a bad deal compared to what the NYPD got from Obama , Sharpton,and DeBlasio....2 dead cops with more to come.Thune is whistling the Obama tune.
These ridiculous “conservative” Republicans today are just Latter-Day Nelson Rockefellerites, or worse.
I thought John Thune was a conservative, but he’s just a RINO. (sigh)
Maybe they'd like to explain why we're paying for non-essential personnel in the first place?
I know we don't pay for those in the oil patch.
Oh, no. Any more he is a card-carrying, dyed in the wool, 100% capital 'R' Republican.
The heretics are the ones who don't act like Democrats when they get to DC.
Republican does not equal "conservative", and hasn't for a long time.
Surprise surprise but didn’t they say that this provision was the one that they were going to use to put pressure on the white house? I didn’t believe it then and those who did were willful fools. I haven’t trusted Thune for a long time.
But they can shut down a piece of Homeland Security. They just don’t want to admit that. They’re getting their soundbites in early so they can shape the discussion in their direction.
The solution is simple. Don’t vote for them. Write in a name or stay home. All this was for show. Gohmert knew boner was going to win but he put on a show to make people feel good.
If Trey Gowdy misses a plane and can’t vote which gives the speakership to boner, I’ll “miss a plane” when it comes time to vote in the next election. (Even though I heard he said he was going to vote for boner if he hadn’t missed the plane.)
That was almost worth it though since he came back to beat the loathsome Daschle.
Still, Thune is a disappointment, big time. To his credit he voted against the Gang of Eight bill in 2013 (though one wonders how he’d have voted had his vote been decisive), but to go ahead and preemptively surrender to Obama on his executive amnesty is hugely disappointing.
