Congressional negotiators neared agreement on a $1.3 trillion spending bill today (March 21) that undercuts President Donald Trump’s $25 billion request for a wall along the Mexican border and spurns the administration’s request for increased funding for immigrant detention facilities and additional border patrol agents.

Will Trump get another chance in September? Just b4 November?
The Cheap Labor Express chugs on.........
If Trump wants to make up for this, he can start deporting DACA aliens. Like now. The Democrats will never trade wall funding for them any more than you would trade oxygen for the next 20 minutes for a million dollars.
Trump needs to make the Execuative an OmniBus Bill Sanctuary Zone.
Now that he signed an Obama spending billhe canget backto attacking the second amendment.
It’s NOT a budget, it’s a spending recommendation ie Omnibus Bill.
The law only requires a president to do what a Budget says to do, but this hunk of paper is only a suggestion.
Enjoy the show
The only excuse that would work for Trump is if it proves out that he desperately needed the military and OIG funding for a massive take down of the deep state. The secret war narrative that Q has been talking about.
We now have news about the OIG working with a prosecutor and a grand jury. Why would Trump be so foolish to go against his base and the values he claimed to have? If Q was real then it would all make sense- He needs to fund the war. The war to drain the swamp. Q has always implied that the military will be involved in taking down the deep state. Trump can then fight the other battles after the deep clean. If there is no such war then Trump just crapped on himself and his base.
What do you all want to believe?
You are the first to explain that.
Thank you.
95% of the people screaming about the bill don’t know that.....and won’t stop to listen. Even as Trump quietly spends the funds on what he sees fit, and what he can get past CONgress’ eyes.
You’re easily bamboozled. If this bill had no effect, it wouldn’t have been needed to keep the government going
It’s NOT a budget, it’s a spending recommendation ////
It’s a spending authorization. The treasury will be billed accordingly.
Of that $1.3 Trillion, compute 10 million chain migrants over age 65 x average social security monthly check of $800 + $200 /month Medicaid + $400 /month food stamps =
10,000,000 senior immigrants x $1400 per month benefits paid x 12 months = $168,000,000,000 = $168 Billion each year!
No wonder the gov’t spending is so bloated.
What makes this really awful is none of those chain migrants arriving as senior parents paid nothing in US taxes.
Don’t worry, he promises never to do it again.
Exactly. Its really interesting to see the excuses being thrown around to justify this disaster. Disaster for America, disaster for Trump, disaster for his supporters, huge victory for the swamp.
You missed the point, Trump only needs to follow spending in a BUDGET BILL this is an Omnibus Bill.

Deploy an army of currently employed bureaucrats to the southern boarder.
Give them a bonus for every unique illegal they fingerprint, eye scan, and compile a full dossier.
Double deduction for each illegal they miss.
At least it will slow down the flow.
So Trump lied to us. 33 miles of “proposed” wall. I read that number when Bush was in office. Kinda like the 11 million illegals we read about since the 1980’s.
