I read someone it’s more like 28 billion.

Either way, the Republicans got played again. I am absolutely disgusted by the lack of leadership and the weakness of this party. It’s embarrassing and infuriating.

I’m not surprised by it, seems to be expected these days.

The GOP is once again squandering the advantage handed to them by the American people. They ought to be ashamed of themselves.

“the Republicans got played again.”

I don’t even know if it’s that- I have a sinking feeling that the leadership simply wanted it this way. They were part of the negotiations after all, and they didn’t exactly put up a fight over any of this.

The GOP is the party of fear...get this, they are willing to treat us like the frog in the pot of cool water but they are not willing to even take the criticism for closed National Parks to avoid certain destruction. They can't take the heat that will come from the committed socialists and their media allies.

Look at how Trump has riveted our attention. Compare that to the GOP politicians. The GOP needs a leader that will take them by the throat and force them to do what the people want. They are too afraid to do it themselves.

they are saying “just wait until we have both houses and the executive branch” as if that’s a guarantee.

They majorly blew it. They sure will never shut down government in election year. They suck!

The troops paychecks were hostage to all of this.
