Republican leadership is looking to fund Planned Parenthood in their latest spending bill but not the Trump border wall.
Could these lawmakers be any more out of touch with their base? CNS News reported:
When Donald Trump stood in the lobby of Trump Tower on June 16, 2015 and announced he was running for president, he told all who listened to mark his words.
I would do various things very quickly, Trump said.
I would repeal and replace the big lie, Obamacare, he said.
I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, he said. And I will have Mexico pay for that wall
Congress faces an April 28 deadline to pass a new government funding bill.
There is currently no talk that it will include language to prohibit funding of Planned Parenthood.
But there is talk that it will not include the language that President Trump has requested to provide $1.4 billion to begin his project to build a great, great wall on our southern border.
The Republican House can pass and send to the Republican Senate a bill that funds the border wall but not Planned Parenthood. Or they can pass one that funds Planned Parenthood but not the border wall.
The former course of action would fulfill the campaign promises that got their president elected. The latter would appease congressional Democrats and the liberal press.
So, which will it be?

“I dont see where President Trump is at fault in any of this..”
Just a bunch of internet tantrum-tossing empty threats that some people think I geese for squeaky wheels.
No one seriously buys that anyone is going to stay him or vote for Democrats because 2 months into office, Trump has not fulfilled all of his campaign issues to the letter.
These are the same people that voted for Bush twice.
If the amount of stuff Trump has accomplished in this time is a yawner to them, then they are either lying trolls or complete idiots.
Ryan needs to disappear.in some respects, he’s as bad as McCain and Graham.
These non-supporters, of the President WE elected, must be voted out in the next primary, 2018.
I agree. I can leave the GOP and continue to support the President.
The Posse Comitatus Act specifically does not apply to enforcement of federal law at the discretion of the President of the United States, such as with the 101st Airborne Division by President Eisenhower to integrate Little Rock Central High School in 1957. While I have no doubt that politicized, Obama-appointed federal judges would overreach and pretend the act applies, President Trump might be able to avoid that interference by not having the military directly intervene. If they vector Border Patrol to an intercept, rather than actually detaining these criminals, federal judges may not have anything they can do. I hope Trump's advisors will consider it. We need to control the border. We also need to put an end to judicial meddling in executive decisions that are clearly within the scope of Executive Power. How many illegals would cross if they could see the Unites States Marines or the 82nd/101st Airborne exercising just this side of the border?
You have it right.
It’s a CR. Not a budget. A CR continues funding as it currently is.
A budget injects new priorities.
There is no Wall in current funding, so you would not expect it in a CR. There probably is PP funding in the current funding so you would expect it in a CR.
The NEW budget is what has to get votes for priorities. The CR can get Dem votes. The NEW budget has to pass only internal GOP negotiations. THAT is where you judge what they are doing.
Again, Ryan is being blamed for legislating government function. It has nothing to do with priorities.
The Jon Ossoff body double strikes again
Freedom Caucus where are you? Why won’t any of you stand against Paul Ryno?
This needs to happen. I will be actively campaigning for dummycrats in 2018. Won't vote for a single Traitorous POS GOP wretch. Ain't gonna happen. The sooner the leftists are back in control, the sooner it all goes down and we can start putting them in their place.
Fake News.
Too many people are losing sight of the fact that Trump did not win based on whether or not Congress provides funding for the Wall. He already has a decent plan that will pay for it. It’s called Mexico. And Cruz has added an extra ingredient. The El Chapo plan.
So why is Congressional funding issue this being made a dominant news item?
It’s the Freedom Caucus that is at fault. Not a one of these blow Garda stood for speakership when Johnny Bonehead left. Why not?
AND NOT One Penny More!!!
That should be considered...good post...thank you...
Can you post from any source at anytime that Ryan the RINO ever said he wanted to fund the border wall in any budgetary process? Please do that.
Boy isn’t that the truth!!! Thanks for that pic!!!
Precisely
Paul Ryan and his Uniparty eunuchs continue to serve Fedzilla and their donors, not the citizens.
Unless many more districts do what we did and Cantorize their weasels, nothing will change in the District of Corruption.

Because none of them could get more than 20 votes.
Shut it down...SHUT IT DOWN!
Exactly. We (in the DoD) have been dealing with this CR crap for years. Each year the CR's come later and later...and the appropriations bills come later and later (if at all). It is very frustrating that even though the cost of doing business has increased over the last 15 years...by budget has not.
CR's are just extensions. The real battle for the wall...for PP...Obamacare...is not now...it's in the summer and fall for the FY18 budget.
And I fear I know how it will end...
We’ve been lied to by the GOP since Bush.
