Trump 'very happy' with bill outlawing future border wall
American Thinker ^ | 5/2/17 | Ed Straker

Posted on 05/02/2017 5:46:04 AM PDT by chiller

While it's commonly known by now that the new spending bill that Congress and the Trump administration agreed to funds mostly Democratic priorities, and doesn't fund President Trump's border wall, what's not widely known is that the new legislation goes even farther than this. Not only does it not fund the border wall, but it prevents the government from constructing a border wall with any funds.

I don’t see anything surprising at all with this. The Republicans are just as they were before the election and prove the point after the election. POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IS EVERYTHING!

The only thing on a congressman or senator’s mind is to do things that will get him reelected...nothing more. To hell with doing what is best for the country and the protection of our freedoms. Getting rich while in office is the fruit they reach for on the tree of corruption.

When they made Paul Ryan Speaker of the House and turned their backs on Neut Gingrich, we all knew “the fix was in.”

We have no representation in Congress simply because “one hand washes the other” and in elected government the phrase becomes “one hand greases the palms of another”.

The only thing we have left is Trump, and by his independent actions we just may be able to save our heritage and country if enough pressure is placed by society to make each individual responsible for their own actions and situations. If that does not occur, our culture and country is “headed to the shitter with old Tex Ritter!”

Well if he isn’t then that is sheer incompetence. This budget wasn’t unexpected. If he didn’t know it was coming, and will come again in a few months, he should step down.
His silence on this speaks volumes. No bully pulpit. Really? Growaset.
So is he incompetent or complicit in this budget?
Shouts a great game, doesn’t knock it out of the park. Heck 100 days of great executive orders. Sending troops to pour out their blood like water in another Muslim civil war.
What were his 100 day promises? I don’t rember sit down and shut up being one. It’s a bit amusing, in a pathetic way.. being led by the nose by the swamptocrats.

The only way to solve our problem is on the battlefield.

If Donald Trump thinks anyone in Congress is going to allow a shutdown in September, he's delusional.

I don't mind having a delusional president. At least this one is fun to see in action.

We are quickly approaching a tipping point where elections may be too civil. Dennis Prager and several others are currently writing on that point. It is doubtful that the conservatives will start it or will willingly take action, but the left is turning violent. If the history of the progressives in an indication, they will be premature in the ejaculaton of their plot. We can only hope.

Maybe all the people you've been calling "Free Traitors™" over the years simply recognize that they have no obligation to be loyal to a country run by such a fouled up bunch of people.

you said exactly what I said yesterday. How the hell can we have the power and Dems still control the budget.

Frigging useless, spineless dopes.

You are absolutely wrong in your statement! The problem is not that Trump is too timid to undertake a fight with the corrupt Congress, it’s that he is not a dictator and can demand which bills will pass and which ones wont. All that he can do is veto the bills but that does not prevent them from popping up again like fresh mowed weeds.

The problem is our timid and corrupt Congress and Senate.

Put the blame where it belongs.

We either elect more Republican Senators in 2018 or change the rules now to 51%.

As if 51 Republicans in the U.S. Senate will ever vote for a budget that includes even 5% of the agenda that Donald Trump ran on in 2016. LMAO.

The reason for the plan negotiated between the Republicans and Democrats is that we need 60 votes in the Senate which are not there! We....

Let him veto the bill. Then get back to me and tell me how much of a fight he's willing to put up about anything.

I don't blame Trump. I know exactly what the president's limitations are.

Read the bill, and stop reading the articles.

So you read all 1,665 pages? It doesn't prevent the wall from being built?

Trump hasn’t solved every problem in 94 days. I hate him. What a sell out.

Its an uphill struggle. I wrote my congress critter, Leonard Lance. Build the Wall, support Trump’s agenda. I think I may write him weekly for a while.

Who cares that it was supposedly ‘Obama’s’ fiscal year? That’s a feeble excuse to offer for handing the Dems a huge win and funding the abortion of thousands of American babies.

Do you think Trump should have nominated a liberal judge to the SC because the opening came up during Obama’s term? The opportunity was there. We had an election in which the Ds were roundly rejected in favor of Trump and the wall. Rs have a responsibility to US to pass the budget WE want, not a responsibility to Obama to pass the budget he would have wanted.
