Our President is the only one left we can trust. And he can do what he likes to make a deal work

"McCain, Sasse, Rubio etc are every bit as corrupt and damnable as Pelosi and Schumer."

Yeah...I'll go along with that alright.. I can't even begin to imagine McPain Doing ANYTHING to help Trump accomplish what really needs to be done.. At this point in time McCain's hate has made him worthless to the American People...

You have to be lower then a snake's belly to be down there with McPain.... I do not yet put Rubio in that category... Lindsey Graham on the other hand, well.......

They also trot out this BS on the Wall. I heard it from my R-Swamp Congressman. “We can’t afford $40 billion.”

They can afford 800 billion for TARP. They can afford 800 billion a year defence budget to defend various ungrateful "allies".

But securing the borders - too expensive !

Just like the fake "conservatives" in the EU and here in Canada.

Once again, we’ve had our asses handed to us. Another BS agreement which will get us nothing. Mark my words: AFTER EIGHT YEARS OF PRESIDENT TRUMP, WE WILL HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT. NOTHING.


Waving the white flag already? After 8 months? They don’t call it the Surrender Party for nothing.

The GOPe are PO’d today because they want to “govern” with pork filled omnibus bills written by lobbyists. POTUS is putting the breaks on their well worn game plan.

And of course just yesterday Amnesty Ryan was begging for “leadership” from Trump. Well, here you go Mr. Speaker.

And since the only thing stopping the GOP from doing so right now is McConnell’s insistence on maintaining the current filibuster rule ...

I disagree with this completely. The GOP couldn't even get a simple majority to support a Senate ObamaCare "repeal/reform" bill after promising to deliver on that for years.

The only thing stopping the GOP from acting like a governing party is the bunch of GOP @ssholes who fill a lot of the seats in both houses of Congress.

Sure he did.

Donald Trump is not a Republican, and he proved it by openly campaigning on issues that directly contradicted planks in the national Republican Party.

If I thought Donald Trump was a Republican I wouldn't have voted for him.

Totally agree. Republicans are proven ineffective and useless. I’d be fine with Trump making a deal with dems to tax the rich, cut middle class taxes and fix trade. At least we’d get something.

Hijacking would have been if there was a contested Election after Trump won it.

It’s kind of nice that the president doesn’t do partisan politics.

??? Where do corporate tax cuts fit into all this?

That's Trump's point. No tax cuts of any kind and no budget. Bought and paid for Repubs won't get their 14 month to spend spend and spend until next time the debt ceiling is raised. They only get 90 days. So where is it Ryan budget/tax cuts? Rinse and repeat.

In political talk, "hijacking" means taking someone else's issues or political identity as your own -- under false or misleading pretenses.

I was happy to see Donald Trump hijack the GOP nomination process, after seeing the bunch of @ssholes they were parading in front of us as candidates.

Both parties always raise the debt ceiling.

On the backs of our kids, our grandkids and those not even conceived yet!!!! This will never stop if you are waiting for the UNIPARTY to act respobsibly.

ARTICLE V is the only solution left, short of a revolution. We do not have the stomach for a revolution like the Patriots of the first American Revolution, so the nation dies as we knew it.
