Why do we vote for Republicans? I presume this isn’t final but is this what Republicans want to put on Trump’s desk and defend this fall? Will Trump have the balls to veto it? I sure hope so.
Don't blame the Democrats-they are just being their usual Marxist selves.
Blame the traitorous bastards-McConnell and Paul Ryan and the rest of the greedy selfish Gope who couldn't give a sh*t about this country continuing to prosper or even survive.
President Trump has uncovered massive corruption and sabotage at the highest levels in our government-but what do these people who swore an oath to uphold our Constitution do?-They plot and scheme to bring down the one person who dares to do something about it, and is trying to "Make America Great Again".
History will not be kind to these low life cowardly little worms standing in the way of this country being restored.

Trump said he will sign it....F all of them DJT included
My blood boils too.
The RATs will stampede to vote for this terrible bill.
Great post. I agree with your analysis.
This seems to be a full stop on the Trump train. No veto I guess I’ll have to get off. This is incredibly sad. I quit the republican party because of cromnibus this smells just the same.
Big message to the Deplorables that we are worse than caca to them. Mighty Globalist RINOs Ryan, McConnell, et.al., haven’t given up on anything as they were NEVER on our side in the first place. Please quit making such lame excuses for these Traitors.
I did as well.
Trump’s victory helped exposed how awful most of the GOP is.
“So, no veto should be expected.”
He doesn’t have the political support or standing to veto a budget. He would be destroyed. So instead it will be the slower death of the election of majority socialists and impeachment next year.
The Socialists will dare anyone to do anything about it.
They owned Washington D.C. and controlled the country for decades before Trump ever happened. They’ve been building their socialist/fascist state since Reagan’s second term. Trump arrived and the system will simply spit him out at their own leisure.
What is sad is all the patriots standing for a flag that used to mean something but is now a shill and a trapping for fooling them into thinking that they still have a country to salute. Trump did one thing...make us all understand that the country we think we lived in died long ago and we now are simply subjects of government power once again...living and dying according to how the government tells us to.
Welcome to the red pill.
I followed the link you posted to contact the White House. Although I’m convinced it won’t do any good, I took the time to write a rational plea for him to uphold his campaign promises and veto this monstrosity. Thanks for posting the link...
Thanks for doing that.
I wrote as well and tweeted to the President.
I say veto and see if the House and Senate can override.
I think they will feel the heat once more people find out what a rotten deal this is for us, their masters.
When you see that d-head Chuck Schumer smiling, you know you just got screwed.
I wouldn't be surprised if many of the budget items that hem Trump in were their ideas. If they wanted Trump to succeed, we would not have such a spending bill here a couple of days before the deadline.
So much LOSING!
“There is no question Ryan and McConnell simply gave up and surrendered here. However, it is important to also add context. This is an election year. This is an election year budget.”
It wasn’t an election year budget. This vote was on the budget for fiscal 2018 which began October 1, 2017. This budget should have been wrapped up and approved before October 1, 2017 so it wouldn’t be deliberated and passed during an election year.
Now they move on to the fiscal 2019 budget. The budget year begins October 1, 2018. Since they will all be campaigning for the November 2018 election, what kind of fiscal restraint can we expect? Zero. The Democrats are going to play games and stonewall all spring and summer. The Republicans are going to be trying to add as much pork as they can. If you think the budget just passed was bad, wait until you see the one they are about to start work on. Plus, you can be assured the Democrats will once again play the Republicans for the fools they are in September to create the maximum budget crisis drama just before the election.
What price will the Democrats extract from the Republicans in September to get a continuing resolution putting off the budget vote until after the election. If the it looks like the GOP will lose the House or Senate you can bet the Democrats will exact a high price if they don’t precipitate a government shutdown they can blame on Trump. You can expect zero dollars for the wall in the 2019 budget, plenty of money for student loan bailouts. They may even get the DACA kids through with a quick pathway to citizenship without any concessions to the GOP. If Mitch and Paul wouldn’t put up a fight for the 2018 budget, they certainly will cave quickly to get the continuing resolution they will need before the October 1 start of the fiscal year.
There will be no before or after the election. The lid has now blown off any pretense of fiscal restraint. Both parties are fully behind deficit spending and monetization of the debt by the Federal Reserve. Meanwhile the Chinese and Russians have been buying as much physical gold as they can. The day is coming soon when the US loses reserve currency status due to is fiscal irresponsibility. When that day come we will either have hyperinflation like Venezuela is currently experiencing or we will see the government make draconian expense cuts while piling on confiscatory taxes. Either way, the republic ends, the dictatorship begins, and the sheeple get to experience the ugly reality of life in a 3rd world hell hole.
I respectfully disagree.
I think they want people to believe they are merely afraid of the (supposedly) other party, and the hostile media.
They are Trotskyist leftists at heart. They look for every excuse to go big government, world government. They just have to hide it some, unlike their D pals.
The worst part is that Ryan allowed (aided and abetted) this piece of crap to be slopped together and he’s not even as bad as McConnell is....if we got rid of both of them we might have a chance
