House Republicans hit plan to drop terror panel for one probing Trump
Washington Times ^ | 1/16/19 | Lauren Meier

Posted on 01/22/2019 3:43:09 AM PST by Libloather

House Republicans are up in arms over a plan by the new Democratic chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee that could abolish the panel’s anti-terrorism subcommittee and replace it with one that will focus in part on President Trump’s business interests and how they affect U.S. foreign policy.

The reorganization eyed by new committee Chairman Eliot Engel, New York Democrat, was first reported by The New Yorker.

“I am disappointed with [Mr. Engel‘s] reported plans to eliminate the Terrorism, Nonproliferation and Trade Subcommittee for one dedicated to investigations,” Texas Rep. Mike McCaul, the ranking Republican on the House foreign affairs panel, said in an interview. “Since 9-11, that subcommittee has been vital in better securing America and promoting trade. I hear the new one will be dedicated to partisan politics. I strongly urge my friend to reconsider.”

So what? They’re up in arms. And they will do what? Piss and moan, whine, write sternly worded letters. And curl up in the fetal position and suck their thumb. Just like they always do. I’ve never seen a more pathetic collection of stupidity and cowardice then todays Republican Party

Get used to it. Trump is the greatest threat to the Rats and the Swamp.

Republicans are disappointed that Democrats are acting like communists.

If the Democrats are looking for something to investigate, they should investigate all of the unsolved murders in the cities they run.

"If the Democrats are looking for something to investigate, they should investigate all of the unsolved murders in the cities they run."

Why would they do that? That is their base at work.

Doing business is not a crime that needs investigating. It was in the Soviet Union, maybe that’s what confuses them. This sounds more like treason than anything else. He is the president for which there is no evidence of a crime.

You beat me to it. The Republicans act as if this is a game of teeter-totter. The GOP is up for awhile. Then the Democrats are up for a while. On and on, forever.

Well, the Democrats disagree. They want it all, permanently. And thanks to illegal immigration and ballot-box stuffing, the Democrats will eventually get it all.

What they did with ballot harvesting this last election is just a preview of what they’re going to do in 2020. They’ll be massive cheating. Because they know they’ll get away with it.

Oh, yes. We’ll see massive voter fraud in 2020 that would make Stalin blush. What I just can’t figure out is why the GOP just doesn’t seem to care about it.

The once-powerful American Whig party went extinct around 1860. I wonder when the GOP will go extinct, and what will replace it.

I think it will go extinct after 2020. I think the best we can do after 2020 is switch parties to democrat and try to pull it back to the center. Problem is, like in the USSR, you’ll have a choice between Commiecrat and Commiecrat.

It makes sense if they’re complicit.

The House Foreign Affairs Committee is reorganizing. The new Democratic chairman
announced plans to eliminate the Terrorism, Nonproliferation and Trade Subcommittee
in favor of a committee to investigate Pres Trump.

Americans demand an accounting: tax dollars appropriated for their safety and security are to be used illegally....for partisan purposes.
<><>Tax dollars appropriated by law are subject to "policy restrictions."
<><>Appropriations designated by the House for one purpose prohibits funds from being used for other activities.
<><> The Congress has no authority to use tax dollars to advance a political party's agenda.

For every one of these stories about Trump substitute Obama and run the scenarios if the right had done the same thing.

Democrats are more concerned with real Americans and our attempt to restore the rule of law than they are with terrorists murdering the innocent. In the eternal battle between good and evil, the left has declared which side they support.

If disappointment is the strongest word he can come up with for this he obviously doesn’t get it. In fact, it makes one wonder if he actually knows where he is.

“...The GOP is up for awhile. Then the Democrats are up for a while...”

Until President Trump was elected, this made no difference...All the same...
