GOP Senators Send Trump ‘Amnesty-Or-Shutdown’ Threat
Breitbart ^ | Jan 18, 2018 | by NEIL MUNRO

Posted on 01/18/2018 6:47:56 PM PST by Jim Robinson

Pro-amnesty GOP Senators are working hand-in-glove with Democrats to block a government budget until President Donald Trump agrees to break his campaign promise and his presidency by amnestying millions of wage-lowering illegal immigrants.

The hostage-taking is being fronted by a group of GOP legislators, led by Sen. Jeff Flake and Sen. Lindsey Graham, who announced Wednesday they would not allow 2018 funding for the Pentagon until Trump approves an amnesty, saying:

This is the hill Trump needs to make his stand for the good of the country and its CITIZENS!

Couldn't agree more! Democrats and RINOs would rather protect illegals than to protect our own citizens. Sick.

Linda forgets how much Trump’s budget cut his pet state department. Does he really think that will be funded by the admin before what Trump wants?

I don’t think the 9th Circus Court is essential. Money for that court especially should be curtailed. Instantly.

It can stay shut down for all I care.

Amen! Shut it down. This hurts the RATs running for re-election this year and moves the GOP to a 20 seat majority in the senate.

The United States Senate is the most corrupt, treasonous institution in the history of United States...even considering the current DOJ and FBI.

A dream: a Constitutional Amendment is adopted eliminating the U.S. Senate as currently constituted.

Methinks Trump doesn’t take kindly to threats. I hope he takes them on and let’s them “shut down” the government. Quite frankly, the military is the only department worth funding anyhow.

I would pick to shut down the swamp and then tear them a new S^Hole for being the cause.

Yeah, the cognitive dissonance of the left screaming for Nixon’s hide while he was handing them everything they wanted has never left.

Trump has not wrested control of the party from the Bush League Republicans.
Amnesty Senator Gardner would not be running the NRSC.
State parties are still largely controlled by Bush League Republicans committed to preventing US from electing anyone who would side with US and the rule of law.
That is why we have just 5 Senators who side with the citizens and the rule of law.
Cotton, Grassley, Paul, Perdue and Cruz.
That’s it.

Funny how Grahamnesty’s quote views politics as business while he’s actively working to provide additional staffing to his competition.

If the good folks of South Carolina would kick his mincing ass to the curb and replace him with a conservative, they’d quickly be asking themselves why they didn’t make the swap years and years ago.

If McConnell had a backbone, he’d remove their committee assignments.

He does that, they can switch parties and remove him one it is a long time to election.

They would not allow? Who the hell do they think they are? They are supposedly our Representatives, not our masters. It is time for The Guillotines

We need Cotton to replace McCain as chair on defense committee and Paul to replace Corker on foreign relations. Paul would get us out of these unnecessary wars but Cotton would have us ready for those that are.

Let them shut it down, then while the "non-essentials" are out, terminate them and shutter their departments.

Ok, Trump may go play golf. Trump sees this shutting down the government blackmail as an opportunity to save tax payers’ money. They still don’t know how Trump thinks or operates.
