President Trump signed the 1.2 trillion dollar Omnibus bill today with open frustration over both the process and the product of that bill. Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer heaped praise on Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan and Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for their help in what Pelosi called a great bill for the American worker.
What wasn’t said was how the Republican and Democrat leadership worked together to force POTUS Trump’s hand and create a voter backlash they hope will fracture Mr. Trump’s base of support among millions of Americans.

“How could he sign this bill?” said one Trump supporter on Twitter.
“WTF??? This was the opposite of MAGA,” said another.
“Trump just gave 1.2 trillion to the swamp,” was another comment.
If the above reactions represent the feelings of a majority of Trump supporters it might very well be the first real crisis of support for the President – an outcome that is exactly what Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer were hoping for.

Congress has 45 days to submit items for rescission, and to vote.
Everyone in DC was TERRIFIED of a government shutdown ... which the President prevented ...
Certain old time Freepers have bought into this scam by the uniparty. Others whiners are newbie trolls. Trump had to sign this bill to fund and fix our military. Priority 1: defend the nation. I doubt he’ll take this lying down though. He does have tools at his disposal to dump some of the spending. Some of those have been discussss here on Free Republic.
K-Street wanted the Tax Cuts.
K-Street wanted most of this spending.
Trump needs to try to educate the American People that Ditch and PRyno, et. al. are not working in their best interests.
Trump doesn’t have much leverage over either NeverTrumper, especially as anti-GOPeers ave not had success at the ballot box since 2016.
Well, at least it was only 1.2 trillion. If Dems had control of Congress, it’d be 3 trillion! See, this is why we have to keep voting GOP! Do you purist FReepers really want to let the Dems take Congress? < /S >
Who decides Why Ryan and McConnell hold the positions they do?
Traitors ryan/mcconnell. The entire gop needs a yuge flushing.
not a fail around here it seems
Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer heaped praise on Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan and Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for their help .....
Along with a few million each....
They both use your money to buy support from "Representatives".
Which I don’t understand.
republicans have never been hurt in an election from a shutdown, no matter how much the libs screamed
Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell belong in the Ninth Circle of Hell.
Treachery. Betrayers of trust.
Round 4 is named Judecca after Judas Iscariot, the apostle who betrayed Jesus with a kiss. They should join Judas there.
A BIG BRONX CHEER for the lower forms of DC Swamp life!
The swamp is petrified of government shutdown. It would not come close to impacting anything in my life.
Yup, but who crowns them?
