The congressional calendar is jammed. There are serious doubts that there's room for all the legislation that's lined up waiting for a vote.
... There are just 12 days before the end of September, when the House and Senate are in session together. In those 12 days, Congress has to pass a budget and a debt ceiling extension. That's surely very difficult.
Now throw in the Republican Party walking away from the Republican president. That is what's happening. And the chances of getting a budget, debt ceiling, health care, tax cuts and infrastructure done this year are surely slim and none.

I disagree...ONLY because that would make it too easy for Republicans to formally disavow Trump. Yes, many of the Republicans are cowards and quislings, but those Republicans are still beholden to Republican voters who like Trump AND consider themselves Republicans. The media keep telling everyone that the GOP is going to split. Let's help them keep spewing fake news!
The Rancid Media just doesn’t understand that tens of millions of us don’t care what they say. Fox’s abandonment of Trump has been coming for a year.
Hmmmm? Perhaps Sarah Palin can help establish a new party or if she is too busy taking The NY Times down?
Maybe in another time zone.
President Trump has hit on the greatest problem in our Country which are the feckless, cowardly, thieving, and self serving corrupt politicians of both parties. The cesspool that is Washington needs to be sanitized before much more can be accomplished.
This assumes that the Republicans in office were with Trump in the first place.
I was walking away from the GOP. Now I’m running.
"Now throw in the Republican Party uniparty walking away from the Republican a true patriot president."
There! Fixed it.
It’s 2017 and we still see the obsolete political terms “Republican” and “Democratic” being used.
Although Trump is accomplishing a LOT as president, it remains that since the uniparty Congress wants to get rid of him that his first two years in office are arguably just practice. That being said ...
Drain the swamp sewer! Drain the sewer!
Remember in November 2018 !
Since corrupt Congress is the biggest part of the sewer (imo) that Trump wants to drain, it is actually up to patriots to drain the sewer in the 2018 elections, patriots supporting Trump by electing as many new members of Congress as they can who will support Trump.
In the meanwhile, patriots need to make sure that there are plenty of Trump-supporting candidates on the primary ballots.
Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.
Patriots also need to make sure that candidates are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed here.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added]." —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Also, unlike incumbent members of Congress who wrongly remained silent while misguided state officials abridged the constitutionally enumerated rights of citizens during the lawless Obama Administration, patriots need to make sure that candidates on the 2018 primary ballots commit to the following.
Candidates need to commit to making and enforcing 14th Amendment-related laws to prosecute misguided state officials who use state powers to abridge constitutionally enumerated protections, 1st Amendment-protected religious expression and free speech for example, such actions prohibited by Section 1 of the 14th Amendment.
”14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
Again, drain the sewer! Drain the sewer!
They can work in shifts, all weekend and NO MORE VACATIONs.
If they were serious.
Which they will never be.
If the GOP establishment walks away from Trump, it also walks away from its base of enthusiastic supporters. I think that enough Trump supporters have infiltrated the party that, despite some rancor and division, the party as a whole will stick by Trump.
The Republican Party was never with the GOP president.
The American People are with the President.
Screw the corrupt GOP.
By faith and the grace and help of the Divine Providence of the same God who miraculously birthed America in the face of overwhelming opposition and against all odds, We the People will restore our Free Constitutional Republic.
12 legislative days - 12 days that congress plans to “work’.
Stuart, the Republican Party has NEVER been with Trump, you idiot.
They only pretended, which is all they ever do and all they know how to do.
Trump’s voters are with him though, and you media assholes are going to have a helluva lot of very angry people on your hands real damn soon.
Keep in mind that Donald Trump originally ran for President as a Reform Party candidate in 2000, but he dropped out of the race very early on because he recognized the futility of running on a third-party ticket. He then spent the next 16 years putting together a plan to work the country's two-party electoral system to his advantage. His plan worked to perfection.
Varney, you are an EMBARASSMENT.
Go back to England.
Walking away from the President? That implies that they were ever with him.
In order to walk away
they would first have to stood with... and if we're honest, they never did. (And, indeed, considering the amount of corruption and the President's stated wish to drain the swamp
the two are fundamentally at odds.)
[Trump needs to go 3rd party. ]
No, 3rd parties don’t win elections, and we will be stuck with these same Dems manufacturing division.
What needs to happen is all of these RINOs need America First primary challengers to weed them out of the party, and RE-SHAPE the party from the INSIDE to the mold of DJT’s America First platform.
It’s not going to happen overnight, but once America sees some primary victories, we will know that this would be possible, and more challengers would step up.
