TRUMP, "THE US GOVERNMENT NEEDS A GOOD SHUTDOWN IF SENATE RULES DON'Jacob PutnikT CHANGE"
CNBC ^ | 5/2/2017 | Jacob Pramuk

Posted on 05/02/2017 10:17:16 AM PDT by windhover

O.----K.-----! If this Tweet by Trump, and story by Jacob Pramuk is true, this may not be just another kiss-off, and be actually the end of the Presidential campaign; and the beginning of what, and who we voted for.

Trump tells the Senate no more 60 vote excuses. Budgets according to existing rules can be passed by 51 votes through the "Reconciliation" procedure this October. IF Trump backs this up with genuine action, and VETOS the bill, if either threat of Filibuster or Reconciliation do not meet our requirements---to in reality DRAIN THE DAMN SWAMP,then we can believe again.

No kidding here. We must see action that begins to save America from it's self, by the men, including our President, we elected to do the job.

This will be the last " October " we take on faith.

I hope this piece is an encouragement to take action. That we make clear to our congressmen,Senate, and the President that our well of Love, Faith, and Hope is running dry, and WILL be empty by the end of October.

So Republicans in Congress are getting their backsides handed to them because... of Senate rules??

Change the flippin’ Senate rules!

Will any Republican ever lead? EVER?

Yeah, give us more Republican Senators. NO! We gave you the House. We gave you the Senate. We elected Trump. Get off your backside and YOU do some heavy lifting for a change.

No more electoral bamboozling. Act now or don’t ever ask for anything at election time. Nothing! We did our part, you do your part. “Senate rules” is just a lazy excuse to fool the idiots back in the district.

Time is up!

Why put off till October what could AND should be done today?

Also whatever happened to appealing the travel ban? Gorsuch is there. Whats the hold up?

And what about appealing the sanctuary cities ruling?

Now is the time to get tougher not mushier

Schumer was so damn sure we wouldn't change the criteria for Gorsuch. And there might have even been the 60 votes. We'll never know.

Schumer does not evoke loyalty. Who's pulling the strings?

Thank you. I think that millions of people share your sentiments. No more excuses. No more delays. No more caving. And no more talk. The only thing we care about is ACTION.

I’ll believe it when I see it. Why is September better than May? Trump needs to tell Ryan and McConnell he will veto this budget and is going to Florida to await their call that a budget he approves is ready to be signed. If the government shuts down, its on them, not him. Grow some backbone Mr President and establish yourself as someone to be reckoned with. Getting rolled now means disaster for your administration.

Trump won big on Gorsuch and then gave up all his momentum and advantages. Now he has none.

Pence is tweeting out like crazy now after his Rush Limbaugh visit on the radio. He did his dead level best to convince us this is a great budget and now he is tweeting the same nonsense. What a waste of time.

I'm sorry, but he's completely full of sh!t on this point. I'm sure he knows this and is simply trying to put the best spin on the losing hand he's holding.

Forget about a filibuster-proof majority in the U.S. Senate. Donald Trump can't even rely on a majority vote in either House of Congress to support most of his agenda.

Not sure it is - but in September it will be 50 [vp will break a tie] senate votes to pass the budget. Now it needs 60... due to the "filibuster".

I look forward to a shut down. And don't do back pay. And IIRC Trump and the executive branch have all the discretion on money to spend during the shut down. AFAIC I'd like it just to remain "shut down" for years.

Perhaps Trump will have eliminated most of the 0bamabots from his administration by then and much of the deepstate so he can push these varnished turds around better?
