During her Saturday opening statement for Fox News Channel’s “Justice,” Jeanine Pirro reacted to Congress’ $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill, calling it a “total betrayal” of President Donald Trump and the people who elected him.
“The omnibus bill the Republicans gave President Trump yesterday is a total betrayal of him and those who elected him,” Pirro began her opening statement.
Pirro went on to blame “inept, incompetent” GOP leaders like Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) for the bill. She then asked voters in Kentucky and Wisconsin to vote the two out next election so Trump could carry out his agenda.
“This is not on President Trump,” she said. “This is on the leadership of the Republican Party — the very people this president should be able to count on. In truth, the president is surrounded by inept, incompetent warriors. And this bill is just that — total betrayal by the Senate and House leadership.”
Pirro continued, “The president and the people who voted for him have been betrayed by Speaker Paul Ryan and leader Mitch McConnell. And the people in Kentucky and Wisconsin need to make sure that these guys are defeated in the next election so this president can carry on the agenda that we elected him to do.”

Did he not know what was in the bill? Did he not make clear what he wanted? Did he not anticipate all the outrage it would generate if he signed it?
how can you abuse someone who doesn’t use his power of veto and the bully puppet. Why is he still sucking up to faux conservatives in his party.
Republicans threw Trump under the Omnibus.
There’s another thread where Trump said work on the wall begins Monday morning. I think I’m gonna wait till then to see if he has something up his sleeve.
He is a deal maker. with smarts. heard about the wall. Hope it’s true.
Maybe Judge J. would prefer Obama or Clinton.
Now there’s a ringing endorsement: he’s not as bad as obama.
The Coup IS ON!
And Ditch is a Ring Leader.
“Maybe Judge J. would prefer Obama or Clinton.”
If you had read the article (or even just the title) you would have known that she’s not blaming Trump.
More like Trump threw himself under the omnibus. He had a superb opportunity to turn the table on the RINOs and he squandered it.
I completely misread the title.
GOP House
GOP Senate
GOP White House
Planned Parenthood still getting $500 million in taxpayer funding
May God’s judgment fall on Trump and the GOP.
Read it carefully. Judge Jeanine said it is not on President Trump. She said the blame lies with the weak sister Republican leadership of Ryan and McConnell.
The buck stops with Trump. If he was a man of his word, he would have vetoed the bill.
428 days as President and 0 miles, 0 feet, 0 inches of new border wall built.
What, you think no one, even Trump’s friends, who the judge is, cannot criticize them?
428 days as President and 0 miles, 0 feet, 0 inches of new border wall built.
So many others we could put up: Leakers, countries that refuse to take back deportees, etc.
Ridiculous. Having his veto overridden by a bipartisan Congress would have been a devastating political blow to President Trump—as would a government shutdown. That's the calculation the President obviously made in the context of the pervasive, ongoing coup attempt which he's currently fighting.
To reiterate: we're in the midst of an attempted coup, for God's sake, and people are coming unhinged about a 6-month spending bill? Really
The President was visibly upset when he announced the signing of this bill—a rare display for a man who typically disguises his anger very well. Indeed, the President indicated that he would never sign such a bill again. Clearly, he considered his signing of the bill a very distasteful act—albeit the lesser of several evils.
President Trump has access to much more information than we do, and based on what I've seen from him in the last two years, I trust his judgement—even when I disagree with him. He has earned our trust and loyalty a dozen times over during the last two years, and I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt—especially during a period in which he's battling a friggin' attempted coup by the Deep State/Uniparty Swamp!
Whatever its weaknesses might be, this 6-month spending bill fully funded the President's military priorities—priorities which may be of paramount importance in the months leading up to the 2018 midterms.
Think about it. Given the possibility of indictments, arrests, firings, and criminal prosecutions of the corrupt Swamp creatures—and the potential civil unrest, Antifa-sponsored violence, and general mayhem which might very well follow such events—the US military's help might be critically important to help crush this treasonous activity. The armchair quarterbacks and second-guessers who have waxed so hysterical over a 6-month spending bill would do well to take note of that "nuance" in the bill.
Thus, I maintain my steadfast support for President Trump. Those who have withdrawn their support have formally identified themselves as "sunshine patriots"—a.k.a. #NeverTrumpers. The last time I checked, JimRob has said that #NeverTrumpers aren't welcome on FR. But who knows, maybe he's changed his mind—although I did see at least one zot today.
Disagreeing with the President is one thing. After all, nobody will ever agree with any President 100% of the time. But ending one's support for President Trump—thereby aiding and abetting the Enemy—is something else altogether. To those who have done that, I say "step off". #NeverTrumpers aren't welcome on FR, I daresay. In any event, if #NeverTrumpers are welcome on FR, then I'm not.
#NeverTrump is as #NeverTrump does...
There are numerous other communities where you can go indulge in gratuitous #NeverTrump masturbation, but I daresay this community isn't one of them. Of course, I could be wrong...
Yes, there are numerous Freepers who think you cannot.
True that is.
