Oh ye of little faith, why do you doubt?....... straighten up and fly right. Don’t take it personal. The President will persevere and triumph

A great day for Planned Parenthood. And I’m called a traitor for bringing that up.

Part of Trump’s new Make America Poor Again campaign.

I don’t know if I am more p.o.’d at Trump for being played by his “own” party and the Dims or at those in his own party that played him.

Either way, his presidency may now have the fatal stab in the back the swamp has been wanting for nearly 2 years.

Add to that his today faux news conference where he drew a line in the sand on future spending bills and it has not been a good week in llevrok-land.

He should have signed it in private and left for the weekend. That ridiculous clown show he put on made him look very weak.

In The Art Of The Deal is there a chapter that says when you control the White House, the Senate and the House be sure to give the other side everything they want as it is a sign of strength?

Poor reasoning. He protected the military but left the rest of unprotected. Very disappointing.

His highest duty us to protect the Constitution AND America. By signing this monstrous bill he has betrayed BOTH, as well as his strongest constituents.

Given the current geopolitical situation, and the poor state of readiness in the military, I think might have felt he had to go along to get the military spending increases he needed. Recall that the military got sucked into the sequester situation and never recovered.

This makes trump a lame duck. Schemer and the demholes got nearly everything they wanted. Other than DOD funds, conservatives and real republican got almost nothing. Tell me how this is different than the dems running Congress. Blame the pubbies congress for passing this crap, but trump signed it without even reading it. He’s toast. Schumer’s in charge now.

He had a choice. Made a poor choice. Is the military more important than the non military of America?

The man who wrote the “Art of the Deal” just got taken by his own party. Lyin’ Ryan and Mitch McTurtle Mcconnell, the two rino snakes, just took our president for a fool.

I love Trump’s winning in his upstream struggle.

But I’m sick and tired of being lied to, hood winked and back stabbed by the GOPe.

This latest omnibus deal was done in a back room underhanded way and sprung on “We The People” by surprise because their aiding and abetting partners in crime (and this is a crime against generations unborn) our media kept their secret.

In less than a week they revealed and passed it without a reading or a debate. It doesn’t get more slimey and swampy than that.

“A great day for Planned Parenthood. And I’m called a traitor for bringing that up.”

A traitor to what? Or whom?

At any rate, Princess ‘I’ got what she wanted - again.

This bill was a total betrayal and Trump signed it with a whimper. It is astonishing Ryan would screw us this bad, l know he is a piece of shit but this defies belief that he would this degree of disregard for his party’s voters. My faith in Trump is reduced significantly. I don’t know if he comes back from this.

He should have said weeks ago: “Do not send me a spending bill that does not include funding for the wall because I will NOT sign it. Period.”.

Should have said this weeks ago and then again every day after that.
