Two “peas in a pod”. These two are worthless and criminal in their worthlessness.

If the Democrats are praising bipartisanship, that means they won.

That’s a real slap in the face to the GOP base.

Sure, when Republicans control the Senate, the House and the Presidency, the Dems want to work with them. Where was this bipartisanship
back in 2009? We were told to shut up and get in the back of the bus.

To: Oldeconomybuyer; All
I’m confident that McConnell, Schumer and Ryan made sure that the spending bill was fully compliant with Congress’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers. /sarc
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States."—Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.


Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!

Remember in November ’18 !

Since Trump entered the ’16 presidential race too late for patriots to make sure that there were state sovereignty-respecting candidates on the primary ballots, patriots need make sure that such candidates are on the ’18 primary ballots so that they can be elected to support Trump in draining the unconstitutionally big federal government swamp.

Such a Congress will also be able to finish draining the swamp with respect to getting the remaining state sovereignty-ignoring, activist Supreme Court justices off of the bench.

In fact, if Justice Gorsuch turns out to be a liberal Trojan Horse then we will need 67 patriot senators to remove a House-impeached Gorsuch from office.

Noting that the primaries start in Iowa and New Hampshire in February ‘18, patriots need to challenge candidates for federal office in the following way.

While I Googled the primary information above concerning Iowa and New Hampshire, FReeper iowamark brought to my attention that the February primaries for these states apply only to presidential election years. And after doing some more scratching, since primary dates for most states for 2018 elections probably haven’t been uploaded at this time (March 14, 2017), FReepers will need to find out primary dates from sources and / or websites in their own states.

Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.

Patriots also need to find candidates that are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed below.

Winning....what? DC Swamp stays the same. I would like to strangle these pathetic Swamp A-holes with my “pearls” since some say all we do is “clutch them”. 2018 and 2020 elections are gift wrapped for the Swamp.

Because he did. As usual the GOP caved on everything. McConnell and Ryan are POSs.

How does it work?

Does Schumer give Ryan & McConnell 15 pieces each or do they each get 30.

Is that a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly payout?

This spending bill is another example in a rather long list which shows us all that the GOPe’s favorite pastime is getting sodomized by the Democrats.
September will likely be a replay where the Dems, once again, give the GOPe every inch of it.
We’ll see......

15 Democrats voted against. 110 Republicans voted against. Totally bipartisan.

I suspect the Kentuckians, the few who know about this matter, will rally to back their “Turtle McC” ad nauseum.
