100% of the FReep-a-thon goal has been reached. Thank you for supporting the forum folks.
Give em hell, Jim.
The Ryan/McConnell double agent sum must GO!
The Republic establishment and its donors are blocking funding for the wall for obvious reasons (cheap labor) and a handful of liberal Senators are blocking the defunding of PP. Trump is using DACA to try to get funding for the wall and worked hard to get an Obamacare repeal passed that included the de-funding of PP. It's absurd to say he hasn't tried or doesn't want to accomplish those objectives.
Anyone should, on balance, be thrilled with what Trump has accomplished in 14 months. It easily surpasses what Reagan accomplished in his first 14 months, But, he needs more conservatives in Congress to get the rest of his agenda passed.
Very sorry about this today. But still glad Trump won. A budget under Hilary would have been ten times as Bad and the Little Sisters if the Poor would be forced to abort kids in their sanctuary no doubt.
It’s ALWAYS the lesser of two evils in this world. Trumps pretty good and a huge positive over the alternative. But great strides could have been made here and they weren’t.
But that’s just it...the GOPe doesn’t feel violated. They’re hoping ryan and his merry band of butt rangers will bring along a hamster and a guy with a huge fist for the next omnibus.
Getting close to the time to go dark...
There was a time when I was completely oblivious as to what was going on with politics and I had never voted. One day that changed, probably due to influence by Rush and other conservatives on radio and Fox News before it turned liberal. I have repeatedly suffered from the defeats of my chosen candidates until Bush junior won the presidency. Well we all know how disappointing he turned out to be. Then Trump came along and won the office. I had all but lost all hope but I thought things were looking up. So far Trump has failed us on the most important matters. There is no reason to justify the signing of this bill. I feel like he just stabbed us in the back. I can no longer stomach politicians, especially RINOs and have chosen to return to my earlier status of someone disinterested in politics and will never vote again.
James Woods for President
From related threads ...
Pres. Trump indicated not only that the lion’s share weight of the Omnibus spending bill is military-related spending (a campaign promise) which is compliant with Congress’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, but that he was not going to sign a bill like that again.
Trump also indicated that while Democrats won a few things with the bill, patriots won more things than Democrats did.
I’m satisfied that he’s the same Trump us patriots voted for.
The problem that I see with some patriots is that they are basically getting “carsick” with a very successful master dealmaker at the wheel.
the gop needs to be marched off a cliff into a volcano. I can’t think of one name I’d spare.
These aren't RINOs. They're Republicans.
Anyone who thought the GOP was anything other than a cabal of big-government globalists hasn't been paying attention.
President Trump didn’t fail us. We threw him under the bus by supporting a bunch of republcrat scumbags. This porkzilla POS was offered up by the best that the cesspool congress has to offer, ie: the representatives that “we the people” elected.
You want to fix this? You can start by electing people to congress that represent our interests, and not those of the current useless bastards that currently occupy the capitol.
Shitcan every single incumbent. All of them. If you think your incumbent is good, can them anyways. Make all of them fight for the job.
Why didn’t we vote for Hillary?
I’m with James. Trump should have vetoed.
This is what happens when Conservatives overlook their principles for political expediency. All too many of us put our trust in Trump, a man with a very flawed character. We trusted a man who betrayed each of his wives even after they gave birth to his child. When most of us come across such a person in our personal lives, we never would trust him in any matter of importance. He has disappointed mightily and we should not be surprised.
Jim, ad me as an unaffiliated author of what you said.
Total horse crap they did this on purpose to suppress the vote
