RE: Frustrated GOP senators read Vice President Pence the riot act at a closed-door meeting Thursday, telling him the partial government shutdown needs to end soon, according to lawmakers in the room.
OK, what do these riot act readers intend to do about it other than capitulate and not have a border wall?
Translation: We have open borders. The same immigration policy of Imperial Rome in 400 A.D. Rome didn’t have an immigration policy in 500 A.D.
Because it didn’t exist any more.
From the Trump-hating jerks at The Hill
Well then, ‘Frustrated GOP Senators’, get $15 billion guaranteed for the wall and we’ll make things happen. Real quick.
A difficult concept, I realize....
Yeah, it was $5 billion. Now get your “colleagues” to do something before we ask for even more money.
The Dems lied to Reagan about fixing the problem down the road. Trump should never cave.
I see Lamar Alexander follows Mitts in voting against the President.
Well, we Tennesseans finally got rid of Corker. Now we need to get rid of Alexander the Great(Fraud)
Scumbag chronicles - bump for later...
Hey, I’ve got an idea, Senator. Fund the wall! Problem solved.
I hate the cowards!
.……...sorry, I don’t believe anything coming from the Hill...…………...neither should any of us!
The so-called shutdown needs to be expanded in scope and made permanent. Allowing for any necessary corrections in designations, this should include all “non- essential” personnel — and all unconstitutional or unnecessary bureaus -
They need a spine transplant from a tadpole. It would be 10X better than what they have now.
The dumbasses. Maybe back in December if they would have had a discussion with McConnell and dumped that idiotic 60 vote rule...you wouldn’t be here now.
These idiots are like someone who won’t put up a tent, and blame others when it starts raining.
Morons.
Until the Repubs win one of these shutdowns, the shutdown, or the threat of it, will be an unbeatable card for the Dems. For the good of the Republic, Trump needs to win this one.
This demand to end it soon is just another whining plea to surrender. Usual suspects, including Murkowski.
Yep. Romney wasted no time filling his new role as the failure theater vote in the Senate.
The Amazing Spineless Republicans. A sorry bunch of surrender monkeys. Jeeze Louise it’s pathetic.
Just declare the national emergency and get this over with...order the wall built with all haste...once it is up, it cannot be “defunded” - it is there, unlike other so-called “security measures” that could be eliminated a day later. There would be ruckus and screams if that was done but once the wall is being built and has been built it would be ho-hum with people wondering what the big deal was to begin with.
The media of course has fed the false narrative that the Republicans shut down the government - no, the Democrats used procedural moves to keep the bill from even getting a vote - a bill fully funding the government had passed the House, likely would have passed the Senate (with Pence tie-breaker), then signed by the President - the government would not be shut down, the so-called “controversial” wall would not be controversial (because it never was) and none of this would be happening. But the media isn’t reporting that. Virtually no one in this country knows that is what caused the government to originally shut down - Chuck Schumer and his caucus not even allowing the bill to be voted on that indeed, fully funded the government. That doesn’t excuse establishment spinelessness, but that doesn’t diminish how outrageous it is to intentionally misinform the public as to what the truth is, either.
Caving now would be a total disaster - the narrative would not just be that Trump caved, but that the government was literally shut down for nothing for over a month if we get nothing at all - and that would be true.
All I see is a “look at me” hissy fit.
They dont want a wall. Don’t you get it by now? The GOP isnot your. Stop listening to Hannity tell you, “Democrats bad, Republicans good”. It ain’t so
