Border Security Vote – McConnell Unleashes Two-Thirds of Decepticon Caucus to Keep Borders Open…
The Last Refuge ^ | March 14, 2019 | sundance

Posted on 03/15/2019 9:13:47 AM PDT by Bratch

Delivering a targeted message from U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Dohonue, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell unleashed twelve members of his Decepticon caucus to rebuke the border security efforts of President Donald Trump.

Doing what he does best, Leader McConnell held back (protected): John Thune, John Cornyn, John Barasso, Mike Crapo, Ben Sasse, Thom Tillis & Cory Gardner. However, the remaining dozen (see below) were permitted to vote against the President for Joint Resolution (H.J. Res. 46 ):

 

(See Full Vote Here)

The support for the U.S. Chamber’s open-border initiative is McConnell’s strongest showing yet that he controls almost enough votes to support impeachment; if the President continues to advance policy initiatives not supported by The Chamber and Business Roundtable.

Despite McConnell’s effort/threat President Trump has vowed to veto the resolution.

Between Tom Donohue and the Business Roundtable they spent almost $118,000,000 last year funding UniParty votes for their Wall Street initiatives and legislation.  Open-ended immigration is the holy grail for the multinationals.  Their K-Street community will not allow border security without putting up a very serious fight.  There are trillions at stake.

Tillis’s switch isn’t going to help him. NC republicans understand what he’s all about and want him GONE.

The total in the table is $496,356,463 which is nearly half a billion dollars. That’s a lot of lunches.

Bush League Republicans MUST become extinct before the Republic does.

Alexander, Graham, McSally, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio, Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Gardner, Cornyn, Hyde-Smith, Collins, Sasse, Kennedy, Shelby, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Isakson, Johnson, Toomey, Rounds, Thune, Gaines, Moran, Lee, Romney, Paul, Barasso and Enzi are all Bush League Republicans.

They MUST be replaced.

IF we want to keep our country.

I called Blunt’s KC office yesterday because I could not get through to Washington. The guy who answered the phone was pretty defensive about the vote.

Next election we need to primary him out.

Graham is starting to come around since McCain kicked the bucket.

I don’t believe that they were ordered to vote by McConnell. They support open borders.

No he isn’t, he’s playing the voters for fools.
He’s running for re-election.
The old McCain two-step.
Sound conservative for two and act like an amnesty whore for four.
He just recently endorsed gungrabbing.

The only ones deserving of re-election in 2020 are Inhofe, Sullivan, Cotton, Perdue, Risch, Ernst and Cassidy.

Between Tom Donohue and the Business Roundtable need to wake up and smell the fact that Trump is all that stands between them and hard-core socialists who are on the precipice of taking over the country and looting them to buy votes.

Tillis’s switch isn’t going to help him.

I sent him 3 e-mails imploring him to vote with the President. And several logical (I believe) reasons to do so.
I see he did but he was safe because Turtleman had rounded up enough Yea votes to let Tillis and a few others to vote Nay.

There's going to be a veto override vote coming up. Let's see which way he votes on that one.
Bet he votes to override. That way he can claim whichever way he needs to for the audience du jour.

That is one of the reasons I conveyed to Thom Tillis in several e-mails.

No Wall, Trump loses in 2020.
Every 'Rat seeking the office so far is a hard Left socialist.
And with their ideas as to how elections will be held in the future, They will have a lock on the Country in perpetuity.

The Republican Party held the House and Senate for he prior two years and did nothing but talk talk talk. No one went to jail of the communists criminal Democrats. Think about it. Maybe we better watch out because many of the Republicans are really communists Democrats or are so damn weak and sick they are useless. Paul Ryan was and is a hard core communists and hates Trump, as many more are the same.

I notice that 12+7=19, and 46+19=65.

They only need 2 more.

That’s it exactly. The radical left will have a foolproof pathway for permanent rule in Amerika. The stakes can’t be any greater.

Beto just came out and said "capitalism is racist".

You see where they've been going with this? They've managed to convince "brown" people (and by "brown, I mean anyone with a hint of melanin, the Italian kids I went to grade school with would now consider themselves "not white") that they NEED to be socialists in order to show solidarity with "not white".

Anyone with a clear field of view for, I dunno, ten feet, can easily see where this is going.

Next, they elect only "non white" candidates. (See London, AOC, Minnesota, etc.) After that, they move to property confiscation. And it's going to all happen quicker than any of us ever imagined.
