My god, he might even prevent veterans and schoolchildren from visiting national monuments in Washington D.C.
Pretty easy to sit there and bitch, Dick, but I don’t see you picking up a pen and crossing things off the budget. How about you get off your a$$ and do some budget cutting instead of raising taxes. Oh, you might start with those pork projects you use to get reelected. Free cell phones for dead beats...Really?
Dick Turban is still around? How can that be?
Yeah, we know Dick. “DOA”.
He does not say where all this free money is coming from.
We desperately need a balanced budget amendment.
Shut it down Turbin! We’re anxious to ID non-essential federal employees, then to see them pink-slipped.
Why are we keeping fedzilla employees around who aren’t needed?
Many of those things are just points of negotiations he couldn’t care less about.
“Oh, you wanna feed granny? Yeah, well we are cutting PBS then, right? “
ESAD durbin, you lying POS. House a few thousand illegals and islamo trash on your own dime and get beck to us that pay for your treachery.
Turban Durbin is most disturbed about cutting funding for moslem bomb-making seminars.
Remember 2013 when that SOB Obama closed the White House main floor, and outdoor monuments?
Thinking about it still makes my blood boil.
Shut it down, Democrats. See what happens this time.
So just change the rules and let PBS and NPR fund themselves.

More specifically, when the Founding States established the federal Senate, they gave the power to vote for senators uniquely to state legislatures, not to ordinary citizens. One reason for doing so is that state legislatures would be sure that their state’s federal senators would kill House appropriations bills that not only stole state powers, but also state revenues uniquely associated with those powers, revenues that the Founding States had intended for the states to use to run their own social spending programs.
"Our citizens have wisely formed themselves into one nation as to others and several States as among themselves. To the united nation belong our external and mutual relations; to each State, severally, the care of our persons [emphasis added], our property, our reputation and religious freedom.” —Thomas Jefferson: To Rhode Island Assembly, 1801.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
But the Progressive Movement spooked ordinary citizens to put pressure on their state lawmakers to ratify 17A, state legislatures foolishly giving up their voices in Congress by doing so.
Now the corrupt Senate helps to unconstitutionally expand the already unconstitutionally big federal government by passing House appropriations bills which steal state powers and state revenues.
Patriots need to support Pres. Trump to put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes. Once such taxes are stopped then the states will probably find a tsunami of new revenues that they won’t know what to do with, starting their own individual healthcare plans, improving pubic schools, and providing more funding for police and fire departments for starters.
Drain the swamp! Drain the swamp!
Remember in November ’18 !
Since Trump entered the ’16 presidential race too late for patriots to make sure that there were state sovereignty-respecting candidates on the primary ballots, patriots need make sure that such candidates are on the ’18 primary ballots so that they can be elected to support Trump in draining the unconstitutionally big federal government swamp.
Such a Congress will also be able to finish draining the swamp with respect to getting the remaining state sovereignty-ignoring, activist Supreme Court justices off of the bench.
Noting that the primaries start in Iowa and New Hampshire in February ‘18, patriots need to challenge candidates for federal office in the following way.
While I Googled the primary information above concerning Iowa and New Hampshire, FReeper iowamark brought to my attention that the February primaries for these states apply only to presidential election years. And after doing some more scratching, since primary dates for most states for 2018 elections probably haven’t been uploaded at this time (March 14, 2017), FReepers will need to find out primary dates from sources and / or websites in their own states.
Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.
Patriots also need to find candidates that are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed above.
Shaddup, Turdbin ...
That was a large sack of Durbin.
