just read on Foxnews that 100+ retired generals wrote a letter saying it was dangerous. Well, I have one thing to say,
WHERE WAS THE MONEY FROM THE DEFENSE CUTS DISTRIBUTED? Clinton’s state department? Kerry’s state department?
While Mattis is quoted as saying, “If you don’t fully fund the State Department, then I need to buy more ammunition,” I would like to remind the generals that without a force to protect against a psychotic enemy that doesn’t LISTEN and is funded by our own oil purchases, we are not safe.
Piss me off.

Do you ever think what the country would be like if the Republicans in Congress were anatomically correct?
Pathetic indeed.
McConnell, Graham, Collins, McShame...
these miserable folks just can’t wait to contradict or criticize almost anything President Trump proposes
often, they get their criticisms into the mass media even before Pelosi and the D’s do
CAN WE FIGURE OUT A LEGITIMATE WAY to replace these people???
ASAP
ASAP
ASAP
even if they disagree with a proposal, they do NOT need to rush a big pile of criticism immediately right onto page 1 of the news! they could at least professionally discuss their concerns with President Trump first.
Trump could just veto their ...t and make try to override. Hint: Turtle won’t have enough.
Trump can work around this problem by MASS FIRINGS AT THE STATE DEPT! YOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!
What a piece of fracking crap. Hopefully Trump calls out each and everyone one of these pukes tonight to the American people.
The real question which he is ignoring, is whether it will escape Trump’s veto pen.
A few weeks ago Mitch was going on and on about the desperate need to cut government spending and get the budget under control.
I would enjoy the spectacle of a budget fight where Trump shut the government down because the Senate and House refused to accept Trump spending cuts.
Half of the House republicans would get voted down in the primaries
Pass whatever amount you want, it doesn’t mean Trump and Tillerson will spend it, Mitch.
Trump will realize that if he is to "Drain the Swamp" he'll have to get rid of the biggest RINOs first - Mitchie & Paul Ryno.
Yep—unless Trump signs it, the State Dept budget is zero next year.
McConnell is such a tool.
Need extra money to keep Soros' activities financed.
McConnell says “Deep State” department budget cuts won’t pass
Correct. There comes a point where negotiating won’t work. For instance, when there is a hidden agenda behind one side of the negotiation (Hint: I don’t believe Pres. Trump has a hidden agenda). So, break out the veto pen until the dishonest side breaks.
Anyone who still believes that the GOP and the Democrats are fundamentally opposed is about to get a shock, as GOP and democrats join hands to reject all Trump initiatives.
“We can’t do that.”
Why not, Twitch?
We gave you both houses, we have the WH now and soon the SCOTUS.
It’s something like the driver saying, “This car won’t drive in that particular direction, so we can’t go there.”
What’s your excuse now you miserable, pencil necked, four-eyed post turtle?
Remove this gelded, useless, superannuated POS!
Yeah McConnell wants to get the budget under control, but, see, sequestering doesn’t work for him because it’s not specific, and, see, targeted cuts don’t work for him, because they’re too specific. What to do, what to do.
Since The Turtle really never does anything anyway, I guess we can defund his office too.
