So the republican sweep in the 2016 election was fake news.
Oh excellent!
As long as construction starts ASAP, I don’t care what they call it.
In Saturday’s rally, Trump seemed confident that the wall would be built. I’ll bet he warned congress he wouldn’t sign anything without wall funds in it. They may have been able to threaten and bully other Republican presidents, but not this one! That’s why we voted for him.
Is that a brand new line item that didn't exist in the previous budget? Are those dollars after agency employee salaries, admin costs, plant maintenance, supplies, vehicles, fuel, travel...?
PENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You were brought on board to stop this BS. What the hell happened??
F*cking bastards on the local fake news station said “a shutdown has been averted, for now.”
First of all, half of the people don’t know what “averted” means.
Second, “for now” was added to keep the people anxious and worried.
Your last paragraph SHOULD be the norm.
You hit it right on the head.
Notice they waited until Sunday night to do this...they did this on purpose so Trump would not get it in 100 days.
Is that so? You better ket Pence know.
"Vice President Mike Pence said the administration "couldn't be more pleased" and noted that it would include a boost in military spending, a "down payment" on border security and provide money for health benefits for coal miners."
"It will avert a government shutdown but more important than that, it's going to be a significant increase in military spending," Pence said in an interview with "CBS This Morning." He called it a "budget deal that's a bipartisan win for the American people."
Well, lets hope so. Others haven’t been so positive about it.
He still says the wall is coming. I just don’t want the start delayed until next year.
Simple: When they're in power, We The People expect RESULTS.
It's a LOT easier for career politicians to beg for money and promise the moon from the underdog, woe-is-us position.
Veto!
Yes
That’s it.
Let’s hope that is the case.
Deal with the can of worms the dems insist on opening now instead of waiting til sept.
Agree
All they did to make this ‘non partisan’ was to throw him a bone of giving up some money for the military.
If the gov gets shut down it’s the dems fault
Including the neo-dems McConnell Ryan et al eGOP
Thank Syncro.
Not liking what I’m seeing out of Congress.
Seems to me the time has arrived for some legitimate, non-Soros funded rioting in the streets.
Certainly some demonstrations of displeasure, to be sure...
You and me both. I don’t think Trump wants to wait either. It’s going to make him look pretty bad. There were some big signs at his rally that said promises made, promises kept. If he doesn’t follow through and soon, his voters are going to give up on him. I’m sure he knows that.
If the wall was started next year, I would still be thrilled.
Just so it gets done, that’s all I care about.
I want it stared now to keep folks happy. They deserve to be, having supported him.
I do want to see roll back on some things like DACA. (SP?)
Doughty, LS has made clear that Bannon and Trump are not backing down on building a wall. My angst is over Congress completely ignoring Trump’s budget cuts in whatever agencies, depts. or programs his many business executives recommended.
We elected a non-politician to limit government’s strangulation of private property rights aka taxation. Trump appears to be alone in our battle. It will be a shock if no one in Congress stands with him on this issue.
