No more Republicans. EVER.

RUSH: We welcome back to the program the vice president of the United States, Mike Pence.(snip)
RUSH: If this is what happens, Mr. Vice President, why vote Republican? What is the point of voting Republican if the Democrats are gonna continue to win practically 95% of their objectives, such as in this last budget deal?
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, look, respectfully, Rush, I actually think this was, as the president said a little a while ago, I think this was actually a clear win for the American people. Look, you’ve had Washington, D.C., that has been, you know, paralyzed by gridlock and partisan infighting for many years, and in this new president you have someone who was able to bring people together and make a $21 billion increase in defense spending at a time of great challenge for America’s interests around the world. And that’s a — you know, he spoke about that today, surrounded by a lot of great members of the United States Air Force. And it was also a piece for years, Democrats in Washington insisted that any increase in defense spending would be matched with an increase in domestic spending.
So you gotta grow government at home if you’re gonna, you know, invest in our national defense. This ended that. I mean, in a very real sense this was a game-changer because we’re just back to putting the safety, security, and the national defense of the American people first, and I think it sends, having just traveled around the Asian-Pacific representing the president over the last couple of weeks, I think this sends a decisive message to the world that under President Trump’s leadership we’re gonna make the strongest military in history even stronger.

Delusional much? He’s not gonna veto it. Mike Pence and Sean Spicer both out there defending the bill means it’s a done deal. He’ll Saigon it and talk about winning.
I listened to some of Rush, but missed this part.
I heard him on Rush. I lost a certain amount of respect for him during that conversation.
LOSING!!
Can’t say I’m at all happy with the way things are trending, but at least we can take solace in the fact the Trump’s supreme court picks are going to be better than Illary’s would have been.
For Trump to cave and imitate the spineless republican congress-losers is sorely disappointing. It’s clear he suffers from DC Syndrome. Maybe he should preside while wearing a hazmat suit supplied with oxygen tanks brought in from the heartland of America.
Agree
Just wait until the GOPe helps the libs impeach Trump. It is coming.
Nonsense. Trump got 60%-70% of the vote in many GOP districts. Impeaching him would be the end of the GOP.
Trump can now say to the GOP..
This is my budget (Sept) I get 80% or I veto it and shut down the government..and they do not get paid period
Money for the wall or I veto it
It is a long game and Trump plays long ball
Read art of the deal
The GOP is not fooling him
He had to beat NYC democrats... to get his projects done
As usual, social conservatives are the red-headed stepchildren of the Republican Party. The only difference this year is that Rockefeller Republicans and Defense Republicans are starting to spray red paint on the hair of fiscal conservatives, too.
No more Republicans. EVER.
Fort South: the longest, narrowest miliary base in the world. Approximately 2000 miles long and 100 feet wide, it will need to be lined with fences on a its north and south sides.
The additional money for defense is just a slice of cheese in what is otherwise a big crap sandwich. Let the elected a-holes in DC take a big old bite of it. I’ll pass.
Ah, the ‘we’re only slightly less bad’ defense.
No wall, subsidized abortion, H1Bs stay, with an increase.
I think you needed to listen to Mike Mulvaney at the WH press conference today. We are not being told the truth by the press or by the Dems who are desperate to have a win.
White house Press Conference https://youtu.be/R8pCR2LdAY0?t=3095 I have this timed for the beginning of Mulvaney’s section. From about 5 minutes before the start of Mike Mulvaney’s remarks there is a good presentation by John Kelly, https://youtu.be/R8pCR2LdAY0?t=2840 or you can click back if you have the interest.
The GOPe does not care. They all will get prime jobs outside of congress. They want to be in the minority so they can complain saying , we tried but we couldn’t do it.
Trump goes against their money masters orders...Deep state must stop Trump to continue their rule over us.
By the way, the GOP was gone decades ago. When was the last time they did anything to help this country? IMHO.
PENCE’S LIE: “Rush, let me be real clear. The number one priority of President Trump is to rebuild our military, to restore the arsenal of democracy. And I gotta tell you, to get Democrats in Washington, D.C., to agree to a $21 billion increase in a short-term budget bill — and, you know, the president’s calling for the largest increase in military spending since the Reagan administration in the upcoming budget, I think is no small — it’s no small accomplishment.”
THE REALITY:
Not a single mention of defense spending:

Turnout at Trump rallies is dead now, watch to see when there’s another.
I’m getting God-damned sick of winning if this is winning.
