GOP Leaders Dropping Border Wall Funds, Says Report (GOPe-a-dopes strike again!)
Breitbart ^

Posted on 04/10/2017 7:35:00 PM PDT by TigerClaws

Federal funding for one of President Donald Trump’s premier policy proposals may be excluded from the House GOP’s budget for Fiscal Year 2017-2018.

House Democrats, along with a few House Republicans, are working around-the-clock to make sure funding for the estimated $12 billion border wall is not factored into the GOP budget, according to a report by The Hill.

“With Democrats united against new wall funding, it’s unlikely the Republicans have the votes to get it through and prevent a government shutdown,” The Hill report stated.

House Speaker Paul Ryan, in a statement to The Hill, seemed to concede that border wall funding would not be included in the GOP budget, saying the funds would come at a later date.

That’s the usual explanation to ward off those disillusioned with the first 100 days.

Paul Ryan, again.

That twerp is a slow learner.

The Wall gets funded. Period.

These GOPe jerks had better fall in line.

Mr. Donald Trump was elected POTUS by millions of us who are counting on The Wall.

“There is a lot of anti-American sentiment in Mexico,” McCain said during a Senate hearing with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary John Kelly. “If the election were tomorrow in Mexico, you’d probably have a left-wing, anti-American president in Mexico. That can’t be good for America.”

That's what's there now.

Since the wall was already approved and funded, it should be safe to assume(I know) that the money is in the lock box with the SS fund.

Not to worry.

Senators Obama, Biden, Clinton & Schumer voted FOR THE WALL

Trump should veto any budget that funds Congressional compensation without funding the wall.

This is from Breitbart. Paul Ryan is quoted.

What is the ‘negative rumor’ you are referring to?

“may be excluded” is ungrammatical—so I’m assuming the author meant “might” be excluded.

If Breitbart is going to achieve maximum credibility as a news source it MIGHT think about adding editors who know the language and style book.

“May” is a word that infers that permission is being requested or bestowed. “Mother may I?” “Yes you may.”

All that said, I’m for anything that would shut down the government. And not to be overly colloquial, permanently would be OK.

Shut ‘er down.

Maybe there will be a separate provision to raise dedicated funds from Mexicans, Mexico and Mexican companies - some mix of off-budget measures like a variety of tolls, fees, duties and surcharges.

President Trump pledged to repeal Obamacare and yet the bill put forth by Ryan was not even close to repeal.
President Trump pledged to build a wall and now Ryan says there is no money for it.
President Trump pledged to cut taxes and it looks like that isn’t going to happen, either.
Most all of these are the fault of the GOP Uniparty eunuchs.

President Trump pledged to end Obama’s illegal DACA program and yet it is still operating as if it were law and not something dreamed up by Obama. It has no basis in law and is illegal even if being run by President Trump.
Over 11,000 new illegal aliens have been given work permits since he took office and almost 50,000 renewals have been processed.
It is fast becoming President Trump’s illegal DACA program.

Furlough the same job classifications sent home from Oct. 1-16 2013 as “non-essential”.
Then RIF them. If they aren’t needed why are we feeding and boarding these hired hands? Yeah, shut it down.
Shutting down the government to us is like being thrown in the briar patch was to Br’er rabbit. It’s no threat.

Funding for the Wall will come. No one is deserting Trump.
Law-making has a life of its own.

Well when both parties ignore the will of the people it leaves but one recourse, tree meet water.

There should be a vaccine to fight stupidity.

$12 billion is nothing compared to the $200 billion ANNUAL cost of the cost of supporting illegals, not to mention rape, murder and drugs.

What budget? I can’t remember the last time they actually passed any kind of a budget. Just another continuing resolution.

If republicans don’t get the wall funded and well on the way to being built by the start of the next
presidential campaign they will lose the presidency, the senate and possibly the house.

Even the dumbest democrats knows that.

Only a retard is disillusioned with all we have gotten so far.

I’m not even going to mince words with people that claim to be. Those folks are mentally incompetent on purpose or liars.

Trump should start a GO Fund ME campaign. It will be paid for in a week.
