Ridiculous! No wall funding, but gun control is sneaked into the bill?

Last month, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul triggered a brief government shutdown over his objections to the deficit spending. On Wednesday, he tweeted his opposition to the emerging legislation, known as an “omnibus.” “It’s a good thing we have Republican control of Congress or the Democrats might bust the budget caps, fund planned parenthood and Obamacare, and sneak gun control without due process into an Omni ... wait, what?” Paul tweeted.

Exactly. They can spend $1.3 TRIILION (a Trillion is a THOUSAND BILLION), but cannot give the President $25 Billion for the wall?

Ryan and McConnell are enemies of the President.

Both parties touted $4.6 billion in total funding to fight the nation’s opioid addiction epidemic,

- Here is a clue: don't abuse drugs, become a druggie, illegally sell drugs, illegally push drugs, or waste your life high on drugs. There, I just saved $4.6 Billion that can now go towards wall funding.

Child care and development block grants would receive a huge $2.4 billion increase to $5.2 billion.

- Take care of your own damn kids, don't become a single mother baby momma, and don't make the rest of us pay for your children. They are YOUR children, not mine. There is another $5.2 Billion that can be put towards the wall.

Head Start for preschoolers would get a $610 million boost, while an additional $2.4 billion would go for child care grants.

- Head Start is nothing but a welfare program for baby mommas. "....comprehensive early childhood education, health, nutrition, and parent involvement services to low-income children and their families." What a joke! What these children need is two parent families who are married - this $3 Billion is nothing but welfare.

They want to lose the midterms. It’s obvious.

They never learn.

They never learn.

As a conservative, you CANNOT “out-liberal” a real liberal.

Do this, and the real liberal will beat you at the end of the day. And they will beat you because it is genuine for them and as a conservative, it is not genuine for you. You are simply pandering, hoping for votes.

I am all for increasing military allocations. But not the rest of it. I hope it won’t, but I fear this is going to end badly.

So, before we rush to say PDJT should veto it and create a huge event, perhaps praying for his protection and his wisdom is 1st order.

Here’s the diffeQ/calculus he faces:

Republicans McConnell and Ryan want to lose because they sold out the U.S.. to China and other globalist...they don’t want to be in the majority, they are trying to throw the election to be in the minority so they can get richer and impeach PDJT. Not signing said budget bill will help expedite that impeachment. PDJT has to drag said enemies across the finish line to a victory of sorts that they don’t want. And we complain? It is a miracle he is still alive...

That math equation has never been solved and is akin to dividing by zero.

These aforementioned globalist traitors are the puppets of masters whom eat flesh of aborted babies, rape children, drink their adrenochrome blood, worship satan for world power...know they enemy. Pray harder and complain less.

That is OK though. It will be signed wait and see. The reason. Because it heavily funds the military machine.

The president has let us down. While campaigning President Trump told us several times every day...... “Mexico will pay for the wall”

It seems to me that statement is the Trump equivalent of “if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor”

I have seen no evidence of any attempt to extract money from Mexico

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.

There is no saving, no cleaning, no draining and no savior to change what our government has become. AND it is only going to get WORSE. There is NO ONE in Versailles on the Potomac worth saving except President Trump. But when do we go to his aid?

Contact your worthless GOP congressman TODAY and tell him to vote NO on this budget or you will stay home in November. To fund Planned Parenthood and not the border wall should be conservatives RED LINE. We didn’t vote for a Republican House and Senate to fund Pelosi’s and Schumer’s pet projects instead of the President’s wall.(See Schumer’s Gateway boondoggle.)

I am so PISSED at the GOPe right now. Worse, they’re giving the House over to the Dems, so voting against them is what they WANT.

I’m trusting that the President managed to pull the best deal he could, and probably has something in mind to fund the wall—maybe military spending?

But after this, I think Imma take a break from politics for a few weeks before this gives me a heart attack.

“Ryan and McConnell are enemies of the President. “

Apparently they have POTUS aboard, or we would have heard from him by now.

He’s going to sign it.

His sole lever for wall funding now appears to be DACA.

Yup, pathetic. Trump should just grab 25B from the 700B defence budget.

Why is Trump not opposing this ans calling on supporters to angrily call Congress? This is an utter disgrace.
