The only way Trump gets his balls back is by playing the aggressor. He needs to make a “list of change” to script all the pork adding politicians in Congress that have not strongly supported his agenda, encourage primaries against them and campaign for their challengers. This will bring a new way if doing business.

The Tunnel: NYC is always in need of upgrading. This is just part of it. Not a big feat/win for Schumer. It has to be taken care of.

the omnibus spending bill contains language that explicitly bars funding for a southern border wall.”

Not only that it dictates that the pittance allocation for repair of existing wall
Must used previously used designs and materials. The bastards saw to it no prototype designs could be used for any repairs in other words no proof of concept. It was purposely written so not one spec of progress could be made towards any new wall. It is in every sense a slap in Trump’s face and spit in our eye. If you have GOP rep find out how they voted and react accordingly. My faith in Trump is shaken no doubt but Mitch and Paul are treasonous pos’s that’s for sure.

Thanks to Mitch McConnell for not enabling the nuclear option.

Ok thanks, please keep me posted because I thought the bill he just signed specifically stated he could not build “The Wall”. Just fix a few fences and maybe put in a couple of miles of new fences.

Nothing was stopping President Trump from not signing this terrible bill! He should of vetoed it, and then, the full blame would be on Congress, only! That would of been a much better move, for President Trump!

With McConnell, McCain, McFlake, McCollins, McCochran, McMurkowski, McCorker, McPortman, and McGramnesty, I don’t consider the Democraps to be in the minority.

"Buahahahahahaha! Because the Omnibus Bill is NOT A BUDGET, president Trump does not have to follow the bill for appropriations purposes."

I saw this pointed out earlier.

Question Re: Trumps' Latitude with Omnibus Bill--See Body of Thread

Are we seeing a situation where the bill was engineered to make lawmakers look good in an election year, lawmakers really not caring if special interest groups get their money or not?

Since Trump signed the controversial Omnibus bill, patriots need to demand that he orders an audit of the constitutionally mandated spending records and report findings to citizens.
"Article I, Section 9, Clause 7: No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time [emphasis added]."

Corrections, insights welcome.
