Popcorn: It Seems President Trump Has Caused Democrats To Spar Over The Border Wall Funding

 

While Republicans, conservatives, and other patriots come together and mourn the passing of former President George H.W. Bush, who died at the age of 94 this weekend, we’re approaching another episode of Shutdown Theater on the Hill. President Trump wants $5 billion for his border wall, which is something he is willing to shut down the government over. The deadline is December 7, but Trump now says he’s willing to accept a short-term extension. We’ll see how this plays out, but Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is not making his House colleagues happy by signaling he may be open to partially funding it. In the House, after retaking the lower chamber, Democrats want to take their newfound power for a spin: not one cent for the wall (via Politico):

 

Not 30 minutes after a group of border-state House Democrats accused Chuck Schumer of betraying them on President Donald Trump’s wall, the Senate minority leader picked up the phone to protest.

 

Retract your statement, Schumer urged Rep. Henry Cuellar last Thursday.

 

[…]

 

Schumer argued that he was firmly opposed to Trump’s wall with Mexico and would never give in so easily. But Cuellar refused the request.

 

“I said, ‘No, I’m not going to withdraw the letter because we don’t want you weakening House negotiations for Democrats,” Cuellar recounted of his conversation with Schumer.

 

[…]

 

The president wants a $5 billion down payment for the wall and has threatened a partial government shutdown if he doesn’t get his way. Congress has until Friday to pass a funding bill, though Trump said late Saturday night that he is open to a short-term extension.

 

[…]

 

But while some Senate Democrats are open to funding at least part of Trump's request, newly emboldened House Democrats want to hold the line and refuse to provide even a penny.

 

Indeed, House Democrats and outside liberal groups fret that Schumer — and the broader Senate Democratic conference — are going to sell them out on the wall. Progressives have already begun lashing out at Schumer for offering up $1.6 billion as the starting point for negotiations surrounding the southern structure.

 

House Democrats argue they never agreed to that amount. And they say it’s up to Schumer to be the last line of defense against Trump’s hard-line immigration policies until they take power in January.

 

It’s a bit entertaining. Even the most hard-core liberals in the Senate—Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) and Mazie Hirono (D-HI)—are standing behind Schumer and his proposed $1.6 billion, which the latter says will be for border security, according to the publication. The more left wing and feisty Democrats are soon going to find out that perhaps Trump isn’t the only obstacle to getting their trash ideas out onto the floor. For now, get some popcorn ready because Democratic blood sports could erupt over this.

When people fear their government – tyranny follows.

When a government fears the people – freedom flows.

 

IMHO the deep state – the elite – the entitled, simply can not accept that We the People, in accordance with the US Constitution, have all the power and our government’s main role is to protect the People’s Natural Rights. One of many avenues to wrest power from We the People is to persuade us to fear them – hence they daringly display two legal systems.

 

One system for them and another for us. They have bloated our government with unelected policy makers. They have corrupted our voting system. They have replaced our Justice system with a legal system. They write laws we can not understand. They spend our money in secrecy and complexity. The Branches are collaborative rather than separate. These glaring hypocrisies and blantant snubbing of the Constitution conveniently amplify our helplessness – our fealty – our fear -our submission to them.

 

However, they miscalculate: unlike the unarmed French protesters, Americans, when pushed far enough, will take to the streets with more than reflective safety vests. Then, like the British in 1783, they will fear We the People…and freedom will return.

Pence

 

  1. Put in charge of the transition team…almost all he recommended are gone.

 

  1. Put in charge of pushing bills through Congress. How did that work out?

 

  1. Put in charge of eliminating voter fraud. This was during the Georgia special election. How did that work out?

 

  1. Pence was in South America waving happily behind Tom Donahue…Donahue gave a blistering speech against the President. Pence said Nothing.

 

  1. During the taped Bush/pu88y gate tape scandal, Pence said nothing to defend the President .

 

  1. Pence fired Gen Flynn for supposed lying to him. Now the article by Sundance explains this.

 

  1. Now he is in charge of Space Exploration….has he said anything about that?

 

  1. Pence was placed as Vice President by the RNC.. This is a tradition for decades, like the DNC picks the VP. Then Preibus is picked as Chief of Staff. How did that work out?

 

  1. Pence’s personal physician ravaged the Presidents nominee, Jackson, forcing him to drop out. Pence said nothing about it.

 

  1. Pence visited the Border during the Caravan arrival at the border. He spoke to the press saying: “Don’t worry, we will let them all in.”

 

North Korea hit out at US Vice President Mike Pence calling him “ignorant and stupid” as the reclusive state made a renewed threat to cancel an upcoming summit between the two countries.

 

Choe Son Hui, vice-minister of Foreign Affairs, released a statement via the state-run KCNA news agency lambasting a recent media interview Pence gave to Fox News.

 

“I cannot suppress my surprise at such ignorant and stupid remarks gushing out from the mouth of the US vice-president,” she said in the statement.

 

In his interview with Fox, Mr Pence warned North Korean leader Kim Jong-un that it would be a “great mistake” to try to play Washington ahead of a planned summit with President Donald Trump next month in Singapore.

 

He also said North Korea could end up like Libya, whose former leader Muammar Gaddafi was killed in an uprising years after giving up atomic weapons, “if Kim Jong-un doesn’t make a deal”.

 

Pence…I predict he will not be on the ticket with our President if he runs in 2020…

 

He’ll have Personal reasons…
