Here's your sign.

Yep, it’s a big win for Democrats and RINO’s, and a loss for conservatives and those who care about the future health and survival of their country. All budget caps busted, and full steam ahead on giveaways. Line up to the trough and get your billions and billions of American dollars for whatever your little hearts desire!

2,232 pages?! Really? Did any lawmaker pause to read even a single page of this monstrosity? $1.3 TRILLION just to get us through to September?! Unbelievable. And to think, the deficit this year will ‘only’ be $1 Trillion. It’s only printed money, what could possibly go wrong?

Again, the bill is not signed; but it’s clear you are looking for a reason to jump ship - so by all means do. We really don’t need fair-weather players in this game.

Yup. Just like the bloated stock market that relies heavily on tech stocks. What could go wrong?

You need an optical adjustment.

Yep...had a friend (and saw a lot of pie in the sky freepers as well) say "no wall...no signature"...but I knew he would sign it. There was not a doubt in my mind.

Tade war...Stormy Daniels on 60 minutes Sunday. Market tanking. He doesn't want a shut-down...and he knows he's not getting wall funding...and he has a DACA win...as the dims have gone silent on the issue.

Some here have tried to warn people for a while that a wall wasn't going to get built anytime soon and that this budget was going to get signed without it. Hopefully, now they will finally get it.

Donald J. Trump ‏ Verified account @realDonaldTrump 8h8 hours ago I got a spending bill that will cost us the House and maybe the Senate but hey, I got money for the Veterans.

When you see all these things come to pass, look up, for your redemption draweth nye.

got $700 Billion to rebuild our Military, $716 Billion next year...most ever.

Madness.

I’ve given up hope. No matter who we “elect”, no matter how much we howl, the liars, thieves and perverts do what THEY want. We’ve lost our country and all of us share the blame.

We didn't help this guy either.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like where men were free. ~ Ronald Reagan

The bill will be signed...and Trump is acting as if 1.6 Billion for the wall is some victory. I would rather he be honest and say he had to live and fight another day. You and I both know he’s sugarcoating what happened here.

[itsahoot]

The Congresscritters are purposely putting him into a no win situation. Don’t blame him for it. Or do you think you could do better? If so, how would *you* force congresscritters to adhere to the Constitution and do the will of the people?

Well maybe he should not say this is a good deal for starters. He has the bully pulpit and now doesn't use it against the corrupt GOP leadership. If he leads maybe the people will follow, if he folds then the people will fold with him and this great experiment in freedom is over.

Per Trump’s tweet..”Got $1.6 Billion to start Wall on Southern Border, rest will be forthcoming”.....

Remember when GW signed the bill to build the wall?

[ridesthemiles]

This bill screams for the use of LINE ITEM VETO.....

I hope Trump vetoes it. We need the wall.

[NTHockey]

“It(freedom) must be fought for”. Don’t see any fighting.

[itsahoot]

The republicrats will now get slaughtered in November. They did it to themselves,

No they did it to us, because their lifestyle will not change one whit.

[itsahoot]

Do you think trump was honest about the wall? You are kidding —right?

Of course I believed him, buy I also believed Mitch when he said it wouldn't be built.

[morphing libertarian]

remember when trump said mexico would pay for it?

[gibsonguy]

“Funding for new border and ICE agents was removed from the bill,Funding for new border and ICE agents was removed from the bill,”

I’m just disgusted with ALL of them including DJT trying to say it’s a good thing. The bill specifically forbids any funding for the wall.

[ridesthemiles]

Ryan won’t run again this election cycle. He doesn’t care how much he twists Trump into knots.

Ryan already has a WALL at his house-—about 10 feet tall. Very unusual for Wisconsin resident. I was born & raised there. Even the Governor’s mansion didn’t have such a wall when I was a kid.

[itsahoot]

and he has a DACA win

And Arizona has to issue driving licenses to DACA. Yep big win there.
