Backstabber Ryan shows -- and always speaks -- his contempt of President Trump.

WASHINGTON — President Trump reportedly backed off his demand that Congress include a down payment for a wall spanning the entire U.S.-Mexico border in a crucial spending bill that must pass by Friday night to keep the government funded.
Republican lawmakers have urged the president to focus on border security in general instead of the wall, which Democrats have called a poison pill that would cause them to reject the bill and shut down the government.
Trump told a group of conservative reporters he invited to the White House on Monday that he was open to getting funding for the wall in September when Congress debates the 2018 budget, the Associated Press reported. This is a sharp reversal from his position over the weekend and early Monday, when he doubled down on his demand for the wall. Trump tweeted repeatedly that the wall is necessary to stop the flow of drugs into the United States.
“If the wall is not built, which it will be, the drug situation will NEVER be fixed the way it should be!” Trump exclaimed Monday, adding: “#BuildTheWall.”

Is it possible to get a public subscription to fund the building of the wall? We need it, it will work, and America shall be the better for having it in place.
And it would also get right in Nanacy Pelosi’s face.
Backstabber Ryan shows -- and always speaks -- his contempt of President Trump.
The Wall was the centerpiece of his campaign. In fact, “building the Wall” was his most recognizable and repeated slogan. This is the issue he cannot lose on.
You got that right! A majority of Americans support stronger immigration policies as well as a wall. This turd, Ryan is playing obstructionist for the left, the DC establishment, and the democrats. He needs to go, NOW!
CGato
Does anyone believe that Ryan will support the wall in 2018?
Sure, looks all peachy now but what happens when Obama II comes down the lane even 4 or after 8 years????? It would go back to where it was before, right?
Build the damn wall. It will stand even though administrations will change.
That’s putting it kindly.
Given that the Oval Office is arguably constitutionally “married” to Congress, Trump’s biggest campaign mistake imo, was not encouraging patriots to give him a new Congress that would support his MAGA agenda.
So while Trump has accomplished a lot in his first 100 days when compared with other presidents, Trump has been probably been stumbling out of the presidential gate with respect to his proven leadership skills as a consequence of an anti-Trump, anti-MAGA Congress imo.
Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!
Remember in November ’18 !
Since Trump entered the ’16 presidential race too late for patriots to make sure that there were state sovereignty-respecting candidates on the primary ballots, patriots need make sure that such candidates are on the ’18 primary ballots so that they can be elected to support Trump in draining the unconstitutionally big federal government swamp.
Such a Congress will also be able to finish draining the swamp with respect to getting the remaining state sovereignty-ignoring, activist Supreme Court justices off of the bench.
In fact, if Justice Gorsuch turns out to be a liberal Trojan Horse then we will need 67 patriot senators to remove a House-impeached Gorsuch from office.
Noting that the primaries start in Iowa and New Hampshire in February ‘18, patriots need to challenge candidates for federal office in the following way.
While I Googled the primary information above concerning Iowa and New Hampshire, FReeper iowamark brought to my attention that the February primaries for these states apply only to presidential election years. And after doing some more scratching, since primary dates for most states for 2018 elections probably haven’t been uploaded at this time (March 14, 2017), FReepers will need to find out primary dates from sources and / or websites in their own states.
Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.
Patriots also need to find candidates that are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed below.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphasis added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Shut down the gov if you must.
“I mean if people stop coming because they will be busted and deported in an expedient manner, what point the wall?”
That will not stop trafficking in drugs and kidnapped children.
The wall is permanent. The POTUS and AG are not.
“Backstabber Ryan shows — and always speaks — his contempt of President Trump.”
Trump should uncover a few of Ryan’s felonies and destroy him.
Squad. Never work alone.
Yeah, good points.
Nothing against the wall, for sure, but it’s up to the RINOs in congress to fund it, OTOH enforcement of the laws is firmly within the purview of the POTUS. Politics is the art of the possible.
Let me guess: "He's playing 3D chess while everyone else is playing checkers!"
Right?
Without the wall a Rat Admin can reverse everything Trump/Sessions has done for border security.
Read my lips, No new taxes.
I want a fix that will be permanent. A wall will outlast the Trump administration. Tough enforcement very likely will not.
