Cruz would not have signed this bill

Cruz wouldn't have been elected and would have already signed off on DACA if he had been.

So, he has to show you he is serious after all he has done so far?

You guys are like prissy women who constantly have to be wooed.

I guess you need to grow up and learn how the real world operates.

Trump took the half loaf.

It wouldn't have accomplished anything.

Trump will remember this budget the next time.

I respectfully disagree with your assessment.

A Veto would have caused a Government Shutdown that would have been blamed on the Republican Congress and the Republican President.

While we here at FR know a Government Shutdown really isn’t, and that it is pretty meaningless, the average brainwashed, ignorant, and uneducated Voter does not. The poison in the Kool Aid has seeped into the Nationwide Municipal Water Supply.

The first narrative the Democrat and their Media sycophants would have been pointed out is that POTUS Trump Vetoed the Bill knowing full well that it would be overridden, so he just did it out of spite and his hatred for the American People. Do people here think that wouldn’t have happened?

I guarantee you that if the Bill had just scraped by, POTUS Trump would have worked on the weakest Supporters and gotten more of what he wanted before signing it.

This Bill, like it or not was as Bipartisan as they come and a lot of ignorant Voters think that’s a good thing.

All the handwringing would not change the simple fact that if the Hildebeast was Elected, and she would have been if any one of those running against Donald Trump had secured the GOP Nomination, we would be looking at a Liberal SCOTUS for the next 50 Years, Gun Confiscation and an America that would just as useless ant any European Union Country.

Do I like what happened with this Bill, hell no, but the alternative under a Democrat Regime would make the Legislation look like a pimple on Hillary’s Butt.

The People to blame are the weak Republican Congressional Swamp Dwellers. You go to War with the Army you have, and the GOP Politicians that should be supporting POTUS Trump and his Agenda have deserted him and us.

Shut the Hell up.

You’re not going to win this argument, so just shut up.

Funny that you’re going argue with me, when you so easily roll over and die for a government that is shoving a razor blade dildo up your ass.

You’re not going to win this argument, but I’ll give you a “participant” trophy - okay?

And feeling good about yourself is what really matters, right?

Now take your warm fuzzies and get your loser ass out of here. :)

POTUS should have called Schumer’s bluff. He should have gone on TV from the Oval Office with visual aids of images of wirn out equipment, obsolete systems still in front line use, vids of recently retired servicemen decrying the conditions of their deployments, their benefits, their equipment. One thing Trump surely knows is how to identify working with below standard equipment and supplies as well as having the ability to explain why spending more in some particular areas increases capabilities in others as well. He can draw on building experience on how trying to complete a project on the cheap causes at best delays and at worst disaster. And he can squarely put the blame on Schumer. These things he did not do.

Shut the f**k up.

You’re not going to win this argument, so just quit now.

Take your loser ass and leave.

Are you really going to say something back to me?

Your government just raped you with a broken bottle and you’re going quietly into the night.

But you’re going to argue with me?

I think I see why our side is losing....

He doesn’t have to spend it all. As someone pointed out, this is an Omnibus Bill, not a Budget. He can do the same thing Barry did and spend it how he likes.

.where’s your stamina in the battle????????
==========================

Battle?

What battle? In a battle you inflict casualties, on your enemy.

You take out their command and control, you destroy their ability to fight back, then you destroy them.

Giving Schumer and the D's what they want is no battle, it's capitulation.

Trump needs to grow a pair or start flying a white flag over the WH.

Cut the Cruz crap. He is never going anywhere farther than he is now. Truth isn’t one of his good points. He is a Cubanadian.

Go back to Right Poop.

The President would have to hold the bill 10 days and it would become law. If congress was adjourned then it would be pocket veto. With congress in session, yes it would be law just like if he signed it. Problem being the govt. would have shut down at midnite and the dems would have a heyday with a 10 day Trump caused shutdown.

This 2332 page bill had to have been cooked up for quite awhile. What we do know is that they make them almost impossible to read and throw the monster bill in front of people with no decent amount of time to decipher it.

GOP is as horrible as Obama.

This bill is a disaster.
And that is a fact.

It is also a fact that Trump has done some fantastic things.
But this is not one of them.

The deluded Cruzlims are feeling their oats today. As if Saint Ted is a bystander to the Senate’s business. Apparently, Mitch McConnell is only a liar when Ted Cruz runs for President.
