the attaboys, but don’t think they wipe out the aw shits..

I remember the analysts in my CTOC arguing about how many attaboys it took to neutralize one awshit.

I posted a big chart with each analyst's running total.

I believe it equated to 5:1 for regular awshits, 10:1 for big awshits, and for humongous awshits we'd all be dead, so attaboys wouldn't matter.

Does he (Cruz) have a bill authorizing cutting off the funds on the floor

I agree. He and his staff should've done the research, then written a bill which should've been submitted when he made this announcement. In a sense, Cruz is doing what we've been accusing the Obama administration of. That would be setting the agenda before DJT has input.

>>None of this matters anyways, Obama is done in 25 days (and counting).<<

It is critical that these follow him out the door in short order (we can’t expect miracles — it has taken decades to create some of them) - in no particular order

* obozocare
* UN participation
* Subsidizing NATO
* obozocare
* every sngle obozo XO
* EPA/Dept of Ed/Depr Energy
* NEA (Arts)/NPR
* obozocare

Then we start in on Day 2.

That is off the top of my head — I am sure many here have an addition to the list (just of things to eliminate completely).

You guys are being really hard on Ted on a matter in which he is right.

He is doing more what Trump does — tweeting a position after a very recent current event.

Give him time to back it up.

Bill on the floor? I thought budget stuff starts in the house.

No it remains for congress to do. The president has no part in it until the bill is on his desk.

Congress was anxious to defund the UN in ‘95, but Noot blocked the bill from coming to the floor.

If the DEMS still want the 45th president to be a DEM, here’s a way to do it......
Impeach and remove this clown in the next 27 days, and the next president will be (briefly) Joe Biden.

When I was ‘growing up” in the military, I was told if I got 100 attaboys, I would get a day off - but one awshit would wipe out 99 attaboys....Cruz has 99 more attaboys to accomplish before anyone starts trusting him again - and they can’t be the sort of attaboys designed to appear like he’s out-Trumping Trump.

He can’t originate a budget issue in the HOR; you’re correct. Couldn’t he have introduced some sort of resolution, along with other Senators who agree with him? For Cruz to be an effective asset to DJT’s presidency, he’s going to have to build a consensus around the issues he advocates.

Ted Cruz: ‘No $ For UN’ Until Anti-Israel Resolution Reversed

Ted is only HALF right. He should have said,"No $ For UN, ever again."

I was pro Cruz until he stepped out of what I thought was his character and got petty.

As my pops used to say it takes two to tango and there was nothing proud about either. BOTH were petty and juvenile

The UN is not a foreign country, and foreign countries don’t expect the US to pay all their bills.

Money is strictly the purvey of the congress.

“Ted-haters can chew on this.”

“The king of voterless states”™ is right on this.
