The biggest spending bill loser: President Trump
NBC ^ | March 23 2018 | Jonathan Allen

Posted on 03/23/2018 3:10:04 PM PDT by WilliamIII

President Donald Trump lost — bigly — when Congress voted for a $1.3 trillion spending bill that repudiates many of his top policy goals and much of his rhetoric.

He didn't get the money he wanted for a wall on the U.S. border with Mexico or a provision cutting off federal funds for "sanctuary cities." Lawmakers not only ignored his fiscal 2018 budget's elimination of scores of federal programs, they increased spending for many of those on his target list. And Congress provided seed cash for a New York-New Jersey tunnel project that Trump tried to kill.

No. The biggest losers and even bigger dopes are all of his supporters, myself included.

***WARNING***

NBC = Nothing But Counterfeit; Nothing But Crap

Don’t believe these Lying Leftist Media outlets that proved themselves during the 2016 campaign to be operatives of the DNC and intentional liars. They are presumed to be lying and we should presume what they publish is a lie. The presumption can only be rebutted with the outlet providing clear and convincing evidence they are not lying.

Why not post the TRUTH about the lies? You don't have to use the liar as the source to post a headline that alerts readers to a published lie. Use yourself as the source or a reasonably reliable source that addresses what the Lying Leftist source is saying. That way you have a headline and a source that your readers can reasonably rely on and they go away more informed about the lie AND the truth.

If this story is true and has some redeeming value, at least get the story from a reasonably reliable source, not from a known Lying Leftist operative posing as a “news” organization. You’ve done the Patriotic Right a service. Much better than the mindless repetition of lying sources and their lying headlines.

I think he’s trying to hang on to the presidency. But I don’t think it will work.

Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.

One should never measure the success of a war by the outcome of a single battle — unless it’s the last battle. Should we have surrendered to Rommel after Kasserine Pass? Hobson’s Choice.

Rand Paul read it, and made this list......

$12m for Scholarships for Lebanon
o $20m for Middle East Partnership Initiative Scholarship Program
o $12m in military funding for Vietnam
o $3.5m in nutrition assistance to Laos
o $15m in Developmental assistance to China
o $10m for Women LEOs in Afghanistan
o $1m for the World Meteorological Organization

o $1.371bn for Contributions to International Organizations

o $2.579m for Commission on Security and Co-operation in Europe
o $15m to USAID for promoting international higher education between universities

o $1m for the Cultural Antiquities Task Force

The Deep State knows that Open Borders and Government Schools have sealed America’s fate. Trump was merely an aberration that’s been dealt with.

America is back on track for the New World Order.

The BIGGEST Losers are the Children of the next couple of generations who are being saddled with all of this bullshit debt so that the GOP Establishment Maggots can flip off President Trump and those of US who elected him to be President and sent him to drain the FU*KING SWAMP!!

BASTARDS!!

Make NO mistake about this. McConnell, Ryan and the rest of those Scum Sucking Vermin KNEW full well what they were doing in putting this 2200 page POS together.

Don’t know about anybody else, but I am furious and as angry as hell at the GOP Establishment motherf*ckers and hope that they pay dearly for their betrayal.
