What part about Trump keeping his promise to rebuild the military don't you understand? This was the only way it was going to happen.
If I had to guess...GOP gets crushed in the midterms is what’s next.
Veto it and it goes back to congress. Either they override his veto or he gets a new budget. But a lot of people forget. The WH was actively involved in this budget. Trump was only playing the part of surprise and disappointment. Unless his minions don't tell him what's in a bill. Heck, VP Pence was out YESTERDAY touting the great bill headed to the White House for signature.
This isn't some deep state move. This was a cooperative effort between the deep state and Trump and his team.
Now take a look at today's 'Puke Party: Ryan, McConnell, Rubio, Toomey, Flake, McCain, Cornyn, Cochran ...
Pence was touting this yesterday as a good bill. Trump's military comments were there to placate you and those like you. It worked.
OK...a noticeable percentage of prominent "Republicans" are scum...swamp creatures.And 100% of *all* elected (and appointed) Rats are swamp creatures.
The 2016 election, in my opinion, had two themes:
1) Build the Wall!
2) Lock her up!
For me, 2016 was ALL about Deficit/Budget.
No wall. Hillary is still Free. And this government just agreed to a $1.3 trillion spending program which the Libs apparently like. I will continue to vote for fiscal responsibility, but I can no longer support the Rep. party. They claim to know better every few years, but continue to cave and disappoint...Until their leadership changes, I’m done with them.
Nope.
This was a cooperative effort between *every* elected,and appointed,Rat and a few "Never Trumpers" who call themselves Republicans.
Veto is worthless when that much of Congress is lined up against you. They had near veto overriding numbers in both chambers, and probably could have dragged long the extra few.
The White House was actively engaged in the process. Sorry. You’ve been b sold snake oil.
“Sadly,DJT had no good options open to him..”
Wrong. He could have vetoed it, explained why, then went to war by naming every last republican who voted for it, and announced his support, and announced the mother of all rallies to support the campaigns of every last challenger, and then daily talked about a few of them to get their names in the news cycle. It may have been unprecedented, and an enormous risk, but I think he had nothing to lose because the entire party has demonstrated that they are at war with him since day one. Yes he had a bad choice, sign it and lose, dont sign it and maybe lose a different way, or choose the third way with war, but he may have won that way.
“If I had to guess...GOP gets crushed in the midterms is whats next.”
And what is next after that???? Let the impeachment begin and you can bet the republicans will be ducking and hiding, fearful of their own shadow as always.

Just my opinion,but, I think president Trump went to them and explained that there is an urgent need for the military to be strengthened ASAP ,(perhaps for an undisclosed reason i.e. Security briefing or something else), and asked them to negotiate a good deal but instead deep state Ryan and McConnell worked with Pelosi and Schumer to inflict maximum damage on president Trump and try to ruin him and get their power back.
Pelosi even showed them how to push a crappy bill. This was just like the health care bill-thousands of pages and no time for anyone to read it, exc...
McConnell and Ryan deserve all the blame.
C'mon. It's Paul Ryan. Who knows what the puppet masters must have on him. The only question is why "conservative" Republicans in the HOR gave him another term as Speaker.
ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME???!!! The damn RAT PARTY includes 2/3 of the republicans that are in office!! THE RAT PARTY STILL CONTROLS CONGRESS!
Im a bit disappointed in El Rushbo. Badmouthing Trump for this supposed failure. NOBODY bats 1000! Rushs bigshot buddy George Brett busted his hump to keep an average of .400. How successful was he? Im sure Trump feels a lot worse about this than we do.
Sure, we’ll get fooled again.
There’s something in the DC water that turns everyone.
Blame the pu**y Republicans that we have to “represent” us.
