Trump should be hardballing these weak losers right out of the chute. He will get the same treatment for 2018. Let the govt shutdown.

Wish I were as sure of that as you are.

Providing it doesn’t deliver funds for the initial phases of the wall, it’s not something I support.

We’re funding Planned Parenthood, bailing out Puerto Rico, keeping funding for sanctuary cities, no wall, and fully funding the EPA among other things.

Rush is point that out this morning. There is nothing in this deal that helps Trump one iota. Trying to say anything else is just foolish.

Now people understand why Trump supporters are so upset that he didn't put on the Brass Nucks instead of promoting Ryan's version of socialist care.

Things funded according to Rush. Refugee resettlement, Sanctuary Cities, Planned Parenthood, EPA, Peurto Rico Bailout, H2 B low skilled workers, food for peace in Africa, Green Energy programs, Fed Judiciary increase, California High Speed Rail funded.

Rush asks; Why are we voting Republican?

In September a real budget for FY 2018 will be submitted. It will not be a Continuing Resolution, but a real, actual budget, and therefore different rules apply.

Remember how long ago we were promised Tax simplification?

[RinaseaofDs]

Helicondelta seems to think it is, and it might be. Once the President has the funds, he can basically call the shots, Congress notwithstanding.

This may be true. The PP funds may end up getting diverted. Who knows?

I’m not taking my cues from the LA Times, however.

There you go again, spewing forth with your constant anti-Trump drivel.

It is not anti-Trump Drivel, it is anti-GOP leadership warning. Limbaugh is saying the same thing this morning. Wake up.

If they don’t fund The Wall , dump the ACA, and several other Trump signature issues the mid-term election will go against them.

Exactamundo!

We are trying bravely to save them from themselves. Vainly I fear.

[itsahoot]

Why won’t the Dems be able to block the new budget?

They are not blocking this one the GOP is.

[Vinnie]

What we have is

Pres. Schumer
Sec of State..... McConnell
Sec of Treas..... Ryan

[hal ogen]

repubs continue proving that they are an assortment of geldings, capons, castratos, liars and quislings. Clear the swamp! Throw the bums OUT!

[Gritty]

I hate to say it but The Swamp is the only one doing all the "winning" here.

And yes, I AM tired of it...

If Trump signs this monstrosity he owns it and The Swamp knows it.
