I don’t think we will know what they are passing before they pass it. It sounds more like a Ryan-McConnell agenda than a Trump agenda. I just wonder how much these jackasses are discussing legislation with Trump.

Looking “ ...at the White House less for leadership and more for signing ceremonies...” doesn’t instill much confidence that Congressional leadership is getting Trump’s opinions on legislation.

Sorry to say...just don’t have much trust in Ryan or McConnell. I am guessing/hoping Trump isn’t about to be bamboozled by those two guys.

I wonder how many times Pence will have to cast the tie breaking vote in the Senate to get this done? The likes of McCain come to mind along with his girl friend Linda Graham.

We will have to bombard them from the grassroots let them hear our voices and never weaken.

Cannot be stressed enough. This is the best weapon we have against the K-street globalists.

I listen to CSPAN radio and occasionally watch their live stream.

When Congress passes a repeal of the ban on ownership of post-’86 full autos, removes the need to get permission from the BATFE to get suppressors, repeals the 1968 GCA and/or the 1934 NFA, THEN I will believe that they have a conservative agenda. Until then, not so much.

Until we get rid of Ryan and McConnell all you are going to get are road blocks. They don’t want change. They want power and money and being heads of committees. McNasty and Graham have to go too.

My belief is that Trump will go around the media and the apparatchiks and speak directly to the American people.

Thank you both for the replies. I sure hope I can see some live fights, but taped delay will work.
