Democratic leaders spiked the football Thursday after the House passed the $1.3 trillion omnibus spending package and argued they have been able to accomplish more despite not holding the White House or either congressional chamber.

After rolling through a litany of Democratic wins in the spending package, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., declared Democrats were big winners in the bipartisan bill despite their standing in Congress. Specifically, he touted funding for the Gateway tunnel project and increased spending for the National Institutes of Health, along with other programs.

Their biggest win is yet to come. When the budget deficit balloons even more, they get to claim the tax cuts caused it not porkulus.

Rats have to celebrate for their base.

We need to get rid of GOP sell outs.

The Democrats hold national security hostage.

They win in and out of power, in fact they are never out of power. If Donald Trump won’t fight for his own ideas, neither will I. I have a MAGA hat at home that i have had on display since the election. Tonight I will put it in a drawer. It embarrasses me that I fell for what he was saying.

“..Schumer acts like he won at poker....”

Schumer did win...because Trump folded his hand. He should have veto’d this mess and let the Rats own it.

Where IS Ryan and McConnell and why aren’t they celebrating their bill in the same way?

Or at the very least defending it?!

They aren’t in the minority. Today proves that.

I imagine that they would. I can't blame them.

This rendering should be altered to show Trump laying the eagle on his foot, covering it with the flag, and then shooting the flag, the eagle and his foot with the gatlin gun.

I am now sick of winning.

meanwhile no wall and the breeders are pumping out more democrats by the minute. Without a wall and mass deportations, I’m afraid the numbers are just against us. There was a very small window during which we could have turned things around. Doesn’t look like it’s going to happen. It’s all President camacho from here on out. You can’t just sit on your hands and let things like this happen. It takes a Vlad the Impaler. None of those around any more.

And Democrats have successfully forced Putin’s puppet Trump to confront Russia for the sake of John McCain.

Maybe liberals have no need to impeach him.

We need to get the names of RINOs in the House AND Senate who voted for this disaster. There is no doubt in my mind that the GOP screwed us AGAIN. We need names and faces!!!!!

You’ll never be a winner if you can’t handle a loss from time to time.
