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.

Is the SWAMP too big to drain? What now confirms the obvious is that Republicans are WORSE than Damnocrats. This is COLLUSION to CONSPIRE against the People. This is intended to further DESTROY President Trump and show US - the American public - that we are of no consequence. The Swamp will do what the Swamp wishes to do.

Total sellout. Beyond a sellout actually a pitence to repair existing wall. It specifically forbids funding for an inch of new wall and funding for new immigration enforcement personnel was stripped out of it.

And I think the supposed funding of the wall that is included gives what, about 10 feet of border wall LOL. Democrats dont want a wall because they see the people crossing the border as Democrat voters..Republicans dont want a wall because they want cheap labor and they pray that these people will eventually vote Republican, which will NEVER happen, EVER

As the bill is read ... I think that would be a "huuuge" mistake. POTUS is going to sacrifice most of his grass roots support if he goes along for the ride. I hope his inner circle is making him aware of that even as we speak.

Doesn't matter to me one way or the other.
I just want to be able to say :

"The Dark Side Won.
But I hoped he was made of sterner stuff."

Trump’s a traitor to our cause. I’m through with him.

He promised 17-20% cuts in federal spending. I watched him say it. He’s a big fu***ng liar.

This all can be placed at the feet of the Senate Leader Turtle Mc Connel. He allowed the 60 vote BS to occur then allowed the Democrats to pull a massive switch eroh calling the 12 bills a Omnibus Bill he thought screw you Trump I gotcha now. Veto and its your fault an POTUS only got a down-payment of what he wanted. No extra Immigration Judges no more extra ICE Officers no more new beds for illegals to be housed...MCCONNEL and his wife need to be kicked out of Washington.....

If it is true that they have neglected to fund the border wall, there can be no justification for this bill. When one considers the repeated anti-American demonstrations in the last few years, among those from south of the border, it is readily apparent that we are being systematically undermined by intruders who have nothing in common with those who came here earlier!

These intruders, unlike the first century or so of immigrants who came here after 1781, because they wanted to be part of the bold, free States that the Founding Fathers built from the ground up, have demonstrated only contempt for all that we hold sacred!

Who will try to pretend that this mass migration over an under-protected border, serves any American interest? Those in Congress, who vote for this travesty must be held to strict account!

“...Trump’s a traitor...”

McConnell is a traitor for not getting rid of the 60 vote rule in the senate.

I’m sorry, but I just don’t see any benefit from LOSING...

Where were the conservative voters when Doug Jones,a democrat, was elected Senator in Alabama?

Where were the conservatives when Conor Lamb, a democrat, was elected Congressman from Pennsylvania.

Conservatives can either WORK and WIN elections — or blame others when the democrats’ stupid policies are foisted on our republic.

Will Lindsay Graham out-smart conservatives in his next primary? Yes, unless conservatives can WORK to unite behind ONE opponent...

House findings re: russia/election

I don't give a rat sass what the house "feels" about the Russian election; that is not why they were elected!

Total incompetence and timidity at what their job is... supporting our president; letting Mexicans be ruled by the Mexican government.

In Mexico.

Among other things.

I don't expect to be alive to see the Best Seller The Season of Treason: An American Retrospective.

DJT can veto it. Who’s in charge? McConnell or President Trump. Why does his own party continue to stab him in the back? Can you imagine Pelosi and Chuckie Shoeshit doing this to Obama ? Why do Democrats never,ever cave ? Must be nice. Could you imagine the GOP standing by their President and principles with such steadfastness, never breaking ranks?

Doesn't make any difference, if treason is at play, losing, either way.

I’ll never agree that “Trump is a traitor”, but he has certainly been painted into a corner. He needs to fight the bastards with everything he has.....or he might as well get out of the fight.

Ultimately, should Trump fail in his mission, I would rather he does so "going down fighting" than not. Over the long term, the results will vindicate him, should he fail. And he would have retained this American Citizen's vote, respect and support.

Well said!

His action will tend to define whether our votes were meaningful or not. He has an obligation to his base to not fall in with the RINOs.

Why do we have to have a 60 vote threshold in the Senate? Makes no sense. We’re in the majority.
