GOP Senators Send Trump ‘Amnesty-Or-Shutdown’ Threat
Breitbart ^ | Jan 18, 2018 | by NEIL MUNRO

Posted on 01/18/2018 6:47:56 PM PST by Jim Robinson

Pro-amnesty GOP Senators are working hand-in-glove with Democrats to block a government budget until President Donald Trump agrees to break his campaign promise and his presidency by amnestying millions of wage-lowering illegal immigrants.

The hostage-taking is being fronted by a group of GOP legislators, led by Sen. Jeff Flake and Sen. Lindsey Graham, who announced Wednesday they would not allow 2018 funding for the Pentagon until Trump approves an amnesty, saying:

Good God what a despicable crew we have among the republicans. DJT should campaign day and night that the democrats shut down the government for illegal aliens.

Don’t throw President Trump in that briar patch!

Exactly my thought. OMB is tasked with determining what is essential and what isn't. OMB is headed by Mick Mulvaney. ("Shut down 10% of the gov't? Hold my beer! How about 25%?")

Trump just needs to remember to keep referring to it as the Democrat's shutdown.

They own it unless Trump caves. If he caves then he is finished but l think he knows that.

I think the storm it would cause would be a good thing and I have confidence that Pres. Trump could navigate it like a seasoned skipper. The time has come to break the opposition IMO.

That said, Trump has his own timing and it seems to be pretty good.

The Democrats and their turncoat GOP-e cronies.
They choose illegal aliens over our armed forces.
That’s despicable.
We have always questioned their honesty and patriotism.
They appear about to prove the allegation.

Every president since Gerald Ford, except for Donald Trump and George W. Bush, has experienced at least one government shutdown while in office.

President Ford (R) had one government shutdown; President Carter (D) had five; President Reagan (R) had eight; President H.W. Bush (R) had one; President Clinton (D) had two; and President Obama (D) had one.

Considering Ronaldus Maximus as the gold standard, Trump is running a little behind schedule.

Shut it down, then. We’ll see what the American people think of it being shut down over illegal immigration.

Well, let’s see if I got this right, rogue senators are threatening a multi-millionaire with shutting down the government by backing a group of illegal aliens in this country, that have been sponging off the citizens for years. Is it time to recall Graham and Flake and cut off their GOP funds? Is it time to remove them from committees they are currently in and treat them like junior senators being told when they can go to the bathroom? They are threatening a conservative POTUS doing conservative work he was elected to do by the conservative voters from his campaign. Do they wish to become liberal democrats. Are they not violating the ideals and theologies of the GOP and the wishes of the voters? Time to invite them to leave.

Just proof of the Trump David Accords. Yassir GOPe and DNC Arafat prove it’s about them and not America nor her citizens.

It only takes two of these turncoats to defect to the Democrats and give Schumer total control. Flake, McCain, Collins, Graham come to mind.

The stench of losing sessions seat wreaks.

Jim, I love how when you post personally on a serious matter such as this it focuses the Freepers onto what is truly important.

All the triviality ceases for a time.

God bless President Trump and God bless all the Freepers.

What we do here really does matter....we are NOT merely arm-chair warriors behind keyboards... this is a new day and the fight is here, online...it’s a media war and we are the New Media!
