Connect the dots. Opioid crisis, military funding and the Wall all mentioned in the same tweet about national security.

It’s happening

“The Pentagon, with a total proposed budget of $639 billion ($574 in base budget and $65 billion in special ‘war’ accounts), is where lawmakers can find the money for just about anything.”

A somewhat different spin on the "Peace Dividend".

Get fiber. You will not lag behind. A bit of negotiations with military contractors could easily save 25 billion. Full wall and Red Castle can do it. They have been given the green light. Year 2, 80% of wall built.

Hell, in his first year he has delivered on his campaign promises hard core. I saw a number of 64% fulfilled. When is the last time a Tasmanian Devil was in the White-house? I no longer refer to him as President Trump... from now on it is Taz.

Key phrase: Trump has already done more for our cause than anyone other than Reagan, and I believe is destined to surpass Reagan by the time he has completed his tenure.

Carry on, sir knight.

Trump agreed to sit down with North Korea. That is where they got him. Trump needs the military buildup to use in the negotiations to prove he is serious. The military money was used to gut everything Trump ran on. It did.

Amen, bro. I think we’ll get through this latest round of pearl clutching and see what comes next. What has come so far is pretty amazing, given the headwinds Trump has had to fight. No one, not even Reagan or Clarence Thomas, has had to contend with this kind of open political aggression approaching the realm of sedition. And I do not use that term lightly. Trying to remove a lawfully elected president with no evidence of actual wrongdoing is just that.

Never posted he couldn't do it. I don't think he will. And even if he declared he would and started to move things, they would be in a California court the next day. Those papers are already drawn up and the judge has pre-written the injunction. It will be tied up for a year.

One veto could have changed everything. One signature did change everything.

"That is profoundly correct. This is hardball game of politics Trump is fighting, not running for Pope. Standing on sure to lose "principles" and $2 might buy you a cup of coffee, but nothing more."

You might say he is the first politician intelligent and masculine enough to fight the demoncrats on their own terms...Turn their long-time-proven tactics against them...

Kick ass...Take names later...

Didn’t Obama send $500 million or some such amount from a state department slush fund for climate change because it was our biggest national security threat? I seem to remember snot nosed Samatha Powers testifying about how they could use the money how ever they damn well pleased.
And Trump can’t build a wall?

Troll? Check my sign up date. I was truly in the Trump vanguard when this forum was locked up for Cruz. I lashed out at Rush, Levin and, in fact, all those in this forum who found every reason they could find to hammer Trump.

That is how I felt then and this is how I feel now.

How many more times will we read about things 'down the road' when the end of the road is upon us. If there were a vote tomorrow, I would vote Trump. I will continue to vote a republican over any democrat. That doesn't mean I see our situation differently.

I just simply don't see how we recover from this in order to avoid a complete collapse in the midterms.

“If there is some super-fancy footwork to come... fine, let’s see some of it: not a ‘here’s how’ or a ‘down the road’ type thing.”

According to this vid - the IG report has already been given to the Trump admin.

In Here with a lot of other stuff (North Korea, Mueller will get a pardon, is cooperating with Trump with the clean up of the FBI.and more! .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-uZLvwUfYI&t=11s

And everyone needs to remember that Trump is not dumb. He knows how to wheel and deal, and that is exactly what he is doing with this Omnibus Bill.

I expect him to cancel many of the other provisions of the bill — should be fun to watch.

Don’t we all love winning?

What fencing is being constructed matches previous fencing.

So the new fencing on the right in the photo in #6 is the same as that on the left same photo?

Most certainly a different type of president, who never turns the other cheek. Instead he slaps back harder.
