I typically don't use those "sarcasm tags," especially if something's so silly that it shouldn't need one around here.

I should also mention, though, that my "silly" statement isn't too far removed from some of the other things that might start appearing here, especially before the elections later this year.

I also remember sayings like "it took Jimmy Carter to get Ronald Reagan," and even if we assume something like that to be true, some apparent "logical extensions" aren't so logical.

Pence? LOL. Pence is a globalist-loving squish who is close friends with Flake, Ryan, etc. He is quintessential Swamp.

Sorry - read too fast with lots of posts flying around.

It's OK. I've been trying to stay with this thread, among others.

The veto would have absolute stuck!! It took 67 % to override. They only had 63% in the house!!He had far more in the Senate. He was a coward and sold this entire country down the river!! Im sick of the bastard.

Excellent points. I was in touch with one of my well placed connections in the defense side and there is no ignoring these things.

You are dreaming. The GOP folded like a broken chair.

POTUS vetos this and the Dems shut down the government for a month. Or longer. Then they make an even worse deal with Ryan and McConnell.

With the midterms months away there was never going to be a beltway nuclear war now. Sorry to interrupt your day dream but those are the facts.

LOL. Seems you forgot that we sent him there to DRAIN THE SWAMP and that includes the GOP whom you want to use as a scapegoat when, in fact, they did what they always do. This was his BEST chance to make good that "Drain The Swamp" mantra and he just choked.

Had he vetoed, you're right: THE DEMS shut down the government until, just like last time, they realize they're taking the blame and relent OR McConnell grows a pair and uses the nuclear option.

And so what if there is a shutdown? Tell Congress to pass a bill to fund the military payroll from now until they get their sh*t together on another omnibus bill. Otherwise, let the shutdown go on as long as it takes. Let people see what a shutdown looks like. (Hint: 95% won't notice any difference. If you can't get your passport renewed in time, boo freakin hoo. Deal with it. Your grandchildren will be better off for it.)

Face it, Trump was holding all the cards and he folded.

Too many Republicans in Congress are against Trump and conservatism. The Deep State remains embedded at the DOJ and the FBI. And then of course there's Big Media out to get Trump.

Add to that we have a few delusional Qtards who erroneously think that everything is peachy keen and that Big Government and the Deep State are on the run. "Trust this" and "trust that", they say.

Well apparently the Deep State and Big Government are doing very well at the moment.

As your attorney, I advise you to run around with your hair on fire while flapping your arms and barking like a chicken. That should make everything better.

It’s so true. Bunch of whiners and quitters and trolls.

Trump is the only hope we got. He took a big loss today and so did we. He has taken this movement farther than anyone could have. THE MACHINE is relentless and devastating coming from all fronts left right and center.

I do not know what is next - things are spiraling somewhat in this MAGA revolution. But even if Trump quits tomorrow I’ll be grateful for his charge up the hill. And until he quits I will support him and hope for the best.

Nothing I can add to that. Out for now.

“Obama NEVER had that problem.”

Remind me when Obama screwed over his base this hard.

Trump was sort of the most electable conservative and even at that, I felt fortunate we got the election.

The country has changed, sometimes, we have to make-do, I feel this should have been vetoed undoubtedly. We are in a big battle altogether.
