Trump Calls Out Congressional Republicans Over MAJOR Issue

President Trump has called out Congressional Republicans for ignoring funding for the border wall. Fox News reports:

President Trump blasted Republicans on Thursday for not including funding for the southern border wall in what he described as a “ridiculous” spending bill passed by the Senate this week.

The Senate approved an $854 billion bill on Tuesday that funds the military and other civilian agencies for the next year. It also includes a short-term fix the keep the government open into December. It includes $675 billion for the Pentagon, as well as a $206 million increase in money to fight opioid addiction.

The bill, approved 93-7, now goes to the House ahead of a Sept. 30 deadline to avoid a government shutdown. But Republican congressional leaders have said they would prefer to tackle the border wall after the midterms in November. The appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security will be handled after Dec. 7, where the money for the wall would be set.

But the Republican inaction drew the ire of Trump on Thursday.

Will this move by Republicans help them in the Midterms, or are they ignoring the will of the American people?

Survival is the name of every Representative! They work at it every day with fund raising until the election day off! Then start over! Good laws are ones passed with nobody noticing, unless its for something that few do not want. Business doesn’t live that way.

WE may have to use military high tech to replace wall sections with simple evidence of killing all that walk over at sections where deep buried land mines stop tunnels.

The fact is, the American people are getting screwed by the Establishment politicos of both parties. Neither Establish Dems or Reps want a wall; they want globalization and amnesty which satisfies one group – lobbyists and special interest groups that contribute mightily to their campaigns. The fact is, we have had 7 amnesties since 1986 – that’s right 7! WTF are we doing as voters? Vote every one of these MFers out of office!

I don’t like repulicrats but when I consider the alternative I nearly pass out . I’m hoping by the time 2024 rolls around there will be a viable third option that is if the civil war is over by then .

I don’t like either party, but the Republicans are nothing but RINOS while the Demoncraps are SOCIALIST, which is far worse. Get the DSA PARTY out, that is your Deep State, and then the RINOS. We have got to rid our Congress of these lying leaches if we want to get our country back.

Now it’s “Opioid Addiction” When are these potato heads going to get it figured out? Didn’t they learn anything from the bullshit democrat party “war on drugs”?

Throwing money at the problem only turns it into a business for drug czars and their cronies, just like the DUI industry. – All any of this crap has done is make a few people a lot of money while not doing a thing to solve the problem.

If the junkies want to sell their soul to the devil let them. The best thing that can happen to them is to let then OD and stop being a problem to their families and society. – It’s like the DUI crap. Hardly anything has changed and 40% of all fatal accidents that involve alcohol is about the same percentage as it was 40 years ago despite the massive increase in arrests and big money taken from the people that are arrested. – If they want to do something to reduce the highway death toll why don’t they step up arrests targeting the other 60% of the people that are causing the fatal accidents? – There are a lot better ways to solve the drug problem and any other problems then to throw money at it. That is the NWO Marxist (democrat) way and NOT the way conservatives should be handling things.

The RINOs and NWO Marxists doing this shit make me sick.

Newsmax has article in September Issue, of the real cost for Illegals to Federal Treasury, plus that added in each state. And WALL cost for entire wall, could be realized within one year, with wall, and allowing existing border agents to then ensure no crossing, without proper papers. Those wanting to come to USA, by VISA (work) EDUCATION, or any other reason, needs to be accounted for by whoever sponsors them. No one should arrive at border without papers, or prior request through Embassy or Consulate Office in their country of birth. Then don’t come until paperwork is approved. We do not need more gangsters, criminals, drug cartels, since we have enough of those already, who are born of USA citizens. USA spends a lot of money, to have Embassy or Consulate Facility in foreign countries, so they should be utilized. This would let our Homeland Defense, Border Agents, time to do their jobs, without all the additional expenses. Wasted effort, time, funds, and facilities, as operated now.
And I call on every Democrat and Republican to sign, to build the wall. If you don’t believe in walls, fences, borders, then all of you living in walled, gated communities, find housing outside of same, and enjoy the neighbors that we live with.

I suspect the GOP is denying Pres Trump the funding for the wall we elected him for is because they want to hurt his chances of a 2020 repeat if 2016.’these are downright dirty dogs and in their efforts to harm Pres Trumpc they’re in for a rude awakening. Don’t forget. Many of the senators & representatives were NEVER TRUMPERS from DAY 1 of his announcement to RUN & from the moment he win the GOP nomination.
Much like the corrupt FBI, DOJ & CIA, the Congress was also on a mission to destroy the President. Truth be known, they were probably working together.
No worries tho, they’re sorely losing AND our Grest Predident will find a way to build our BIG BEAUTIFUL WALL ALONG THE SOUTHERN BORDER. McConnell said it’s important to wait until after the midterms – WHY IS THAT? My guess, he will continue to come up with pathetic reasons to continue delaying the Wall. Had they voted soon after Inauguration Day, the majority of the wall would me be completed by now!

These jackass Republican senators Are going to find that the next time they go looking for votes to be reinstated they may not be there. President Trump is only trying to keep the promises he made when running for the office. Trump does not want to let America down, But those jackass democrats do not care.

Neither Party represents the people any longer. The politicians in Washington could careless what we want to do with our money. They think we are incompetent to know what we want and need.

President Trump should veto the bill and shut government down. No compromise on this budget like the last one. The only person in Washington that puts the good of the country ahead of votes is Predident Trump.

I feel like I live in a divided country without a wall between us. We have become two nations not one. Before after elections we came together with one goal make America greater.

We had two strong Parties with some differences in ideology. Now I feel like a Republican that has an enemy to battle and it is the Democrat Party.

It is beginning to look like a life or death situation. It seems fir the first time in my life I must defend, “Guve me liberty or give me death”

Will we become an East/West Germany? I have lost life long friends over the situation we find ourselves in. There are extended families not speaking to one another because of politicians. It was once said Russia would destroy us from within without firing one shot. Has that time come?

The President has asked that we vote for the GOP, because we Must Have a Majority in Congress to help Him keep the Great Promuses that he made to all of the “Forgotten Americans”.
I’m voting Straight GOP, because President Donald J.Trump is in the WH & I will continue to support the GOP as long as this Great Man is Our Leader.
Now Get Out There & Vote GOP for President Trump!

Speaker Ryan
Speaker Ryan you and the republicans passed a $854 billion funding bill but there was no funding for the border wall. You have to realize that illegal immigration is still the number one issue among voters. We the voters gave you the Presidency, the Senate, and the house and what do we get in return another stab in the back and you also blown a opportunity to hold the majority for years. We all know you don’t give a shit because you are leaving at the end of the year. I have voted in every election since I was eligible to vote. I’m beginning to feel like a lot of people who don’t vote because personally I don’t think any of you in congress give a shit about anything or anyone but yourselves. If we lose in November you and the other republican leaders are the ones to blame. We American Patriotic voters are thoroughly discussed.
