Trump turns on GOP(e) Congress
The Hill ^ | August 4, 2017 | JORDAIN CARNEY AND CRISTINA MARCOS

Posted on 08/04/2017 5:24:11 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

President Trump is firing pointed criticism at the GOP Congress, ripping lawmakers for sending him a Russian sanctions bill he hates while failing to negotiate an ObamaCare repeal bill.

While tensions between the president and GOP lawmakers have been simmering for months, the latest exchanges suggest a turn in the relationship.

Trump lamented Thursday that the U.S.-Russia relationship is “at an all-time and very dangerous low.”

“You can thank Congress, the same people that can’t even give us [health care]!” he tweeted.

It was the second day in a row that Trump ripped the Congress on both issues, and GOP lawmakers were happy to return fire.

Problem is, like Rush said, they don’t care. They know our only choice is to keep them in power or to let the dims have it. They will ensure we have no choice but to vote for them or not vote at all.

Yeah, how’s that ‘lesser’ been working out for everyone already? Sure doesn’t seem to matter to the party one way or another, I sure haven’t heard any blow-back from the coup.

1st, more than 2 options on the ballots that I’ve used. 2nd, tossing these son-of-bitches out on their asses by *allowing* the (D), or others, to win might be the saving grace needed....same philosophy as O’Care: give it to ‘em in FULL. Hell, the (O) might actually do something in our favor!

I called this during the campaign. Had to be. Trump needs to start raising up leaders to primary all of these uniparty grifters in Congress.

It’s about time. They have been blocking him since day one. He realistically only has 18 months left, since who knows what will happen in the mid terms. Although I don’t see how a Democrat house or senate could be any worse

Traitors

It’s GOPe and they have blocked president Trump at every opportunity. Not surprised he’s fed up with them.

Trump will garner the support of everyone that voted for him for his promises (not just the R after his name). He’ll be starting off better than other 3rd party candidates in the past.

I’m more than ready to abandon the GOP.

That sounds like a real government shutdown. Do that AND remove the subsidies they and their staff get for their health insurance.

Three Republican Senators let down the side. 49 voted to move forward to at least get something moving

Don't be fooled, a lot of those 49 would have voted "no" if their vote really mattered.

You are right and wrong. It was only those three because they didn't need anymore to shoot it down, and the rest of the GOPs can go home and say they voted for it and please their voters. If two or three Dems had voted for it, you can bet two or three more of the Repubs would have followed McCain!

What’s needed is a new party. How about the TEA Party, with actual fundraising and resources, putting forth candidates? That way people have somewhere to go, and RINOs like McCain will be f@#$ed.

The only Republican I will vote for in the future is DJT in 2020.

Obviously, but hell Reagan had it just as bad, BOTH houses were Dimwits and he managed to get a hell of a lot done. Even with Dirtbag Tk talking to the Russians behind his back...

But I dont remember Reagan blaming everyone but himself either... but thats just me.

Trump should have vetoed the sanctions bill. The veto probably would have been overridden but we would have seen who in Congress had the President’s back and who would stab him in the back.
