Significant increase in military funding was absolutely necessary and worth the tradeoffs this time.

In the end Trump is right, you either need to get 60 R senators, or else you need to get rid of the filibuster on legislation. I support the latter, myself.

Paul RINO to Rush: What do you mean "we", Paleface?

RINO doesn't see Rush as a Republican.

The Rats would still be grinning if the government had “shut down”. See how that works?

Massive debt and fake, Federal Reserve Dollars are impossible for any politicians or bureaucracy to resist, especially when they are so easy and cheap for Fed.gov to get, and seemingly without any consequences at all.

Fuller coverage here, from Herman Cain:

Yesterday morning, I discussed the atrocious spending bill that’s currently wriggling its way through Congress like a heartworm through a mangy dog. It appears that the GOP has, once again, caved to every imaginable Democrat demand because they’re simply too cowardly to fight for their alleged agenda. After winning the House, Senate, and Presidency, they put forth a plan that gives their opponents everything they wanted - and today, the Democrats are taking a victory tour of the news channels where they grin like Cheshire cats.

Chuck Schumer loves the plan, and that’s all you really need to know.

I’ve told you before about discussions that go on behind the scenes here at Cain HQ. One of the big ones centers around my ongoing belief that the GOP doesn’t really want the limited government they pretend to desire - at least, not enough of them do. They talk a good game, but I’d say about 1 in 20 congressional Republicans truly believe the rhetoric they spout. The rest quietly work to expand the federal beast, maintain or grow government power, and perpetually enrich their cushy, taxpayer-funded, lives.

We vote for them because they’re “not quite as bad” as the socialists and communists who run the Democrat party, and we’re sick to death of it.

So, the question is: what are they really offering? Why continue to put them in office if we’re just going to be trapped in a disappointing political “Groundhog Day?”

I’m not the only one asking. Yesterday afternoon, Rush Limbaugh wondered the same thing. He mostly gives President Trump a pass, instead focusing his anger on Congress. I’m not going to be so forgiving. Take a look at a few of his comments, and we’ll discuss:

I would bet that President Trump has begrudgingly read Thousands of Contracts and such before Signing them. What he should do is this:

Congress has sent me Legislation to keep the Government running until September and as Soon as the Leaders of Both Houses of Congress read the ENTIRE Legislation in to the Public Record for the American People without pause, I will SIGN IT!

“After winning the House, Senate, and Presidency, they put forth a plan that gives their opponents everything they wanted...”

Who says they are “opponents”?

Nothing in Congress is as it seems. It’s decended into a bizzaro world of corruption and payoffs. If Every damn one of those Bozo’s disappeared from the face of the earth we’d be much better off.

Clearly DC is not USAians government anymore. DC has been captured by foreign and moneyed interests. It is operating under a color of law which is foreign to our US Constitution. It serves its owners. We have become its subjects.

Is this the same Rush who implored us to vote for Romney and Ryan?
The same one who begged us to vote for McCain?
The same one who pleaded for Dubya and his massive spending?

Many have stopped. This is the Republicans’ last swan song.

Rev 18:1 After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory. 2 And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! 3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.”

Lots of Republican voters do not want their particular government checks to stop.

Trump was my last presidential vote, never again. I have since got rid of cable, got a Roku and use NetFlix, never watch the news, couldn’t give a @#$# what happens anymore. I’m moving to the ocean in two year, going to live a good life, and hell with the rest. I’ve tried, it’s broken beyond repair. Simpy done with this shit.

The Republicans may or may not be cowardly. The feature that determines their stance is the fact that they are Democrats. The so called Republican Party is but the JV wing of the Democrat Ruling Party.
