Democrats block Pentagon bill amid border wall battle

Senate Democrats Wednesday blocked debate on the almost $700 billion Pentagon budget and other spending bills amid a feud between the chamber’s leaders over the rules of engagement for translating this summer’s hard-won budget deal into binding legislation.

Minority Leader Chuck Schumer orchestrated the party-line filibuster vote, claiming Senate GOP leaders were doing President Donald Trump’s bidding on the U.S.-Mexico border fence and paying for it by shortchanging health and education programs. Both sides accused the other of violating the bipartisan spirit of July’s budget blueprint, which gave Trump a must-have increase in the government’s borrowing limit and new spending “caps” to avert sweeping cuts to the Pentagon and domestic programs.

Senate Democrats are not your friends...they need to get voted or kicked out of congress...I would not be surprised if this was their plan all along when they approved the increases for this so they could get their pet items funded.....

Democrats are the “domestic” of the phrase “against all enemies, foreign and domestic” statement on my enlistment oath.

The Demonicrats need to be recognized and identified for what they are - traitors to the United States of America.

There are rumblings over on Breitbart that the senate will be voting on (for) the replace American college students with Indians (H-1bs) act (s.386) tomorrow.

Yet they demand that Trump work with them on gun control. We gotta do something about gun control, but all the other issues we Democrats can just ignore or stall.

I think Trump is going to get more wall built in the next year than anyone in DC can possibly imagine.

I just don’t get the idea the bully can get what he wants by bullying and it works. Why aren’t there fighters on our side that did not let the bully have his way? Why didn’t we have fighters on our side to prevent what we see today? The dems are out of control... they believe if they make it hard enough... if they threaten and block and refuse ... they can win this too. They are used to wining because there were no fighters on our side.

It was “my good friend” for years.. and all the time those “friends” were taking what they wanted and doing what they wanted... no one stopped them. So today we have a bunch of spoiled brats who won’t let us have the President we voted for...they are hell bent on having what they want... because this is the first time they have been denied!

I am disgusted with what they are doing.. it’s foolishness and it’s losing the election for them... that’s good... but what they are doing to our country abroad, and what they have done to the man/men who have stood in their way...they destroy! and we let them... they use the courts and any means possible... just WHEN did someone tell them they are not going any further in their destruction for the sake of power/control!

They all need to be jailed... is Barr up to it? If not, is there anyone?

Real conservatives support both overall defense and border security.

It is now a proven fact that Democrats are Domestic Terrorists and want the complete destruction of our Constitutional Republic. To turn us into a socialist/communist society with them in charge and taking our money to put into their own pockets. Every single one of them should be arrest, go to trial, and sentenced to prison. And when I say prison, I mean Gitmo for their sorry rear ends!!!!!!
