I told you FReepers. I fricking told you.
Trump is positioning his team and will be loaded for bear in September. The disastrous Obama fiscal year and his legacy will come to a screeching halt at the end of Fiscal Year 2017.
- The CR is DEAD. There will be no more CRs. We will return to a sane budget process as envisioned by our Founders.
- The shutdown card has been completely taken away from the Dems. If the Dems want to shut down the government - GO FOR IT!
- Paul Ryan and the RINOs have been put on notice. Conservative candidates will be making preparations to run in 2018 in the Fall, when people are paying attention. They will vote for Trump's priorities - OR ELSE.
- The gibsmedats and the SJWs won't be marching on Washington every week. They got their crumbs until September, and then Trump and his team will present a budget that will benefit all Americans, not just leftist special-interest groups and foreigners.
Amen!
Between Now and September DO A TOP-DOWN AUDIT and TELL THE PEOPLE Where all the money is being wasted
We didn't send republicans to DC to negotiate the terms of our surrender. So now they're going to find their manhood in September? Yeah. Sure. Some people can find happiness in anything.
I’m over-the-top disgusted if President Trump signs anything that funds Planned Parenthood. We as a nation deserve the wrath of God if that happens.
hic Rhodus, hic salta
Where’s the Trump who ran or even spoke in PA last week?
I failed to see any good in this
You are quite the dreamer. There will be no returning to Founding Principal. The Republican party mirrors the Democrats and Trump is just another liar who became President.
There will be no wall, no tax reform, no high paying jobs, no nothing. Just continued corruption, cultural decline and a country where white men will continue to lose their way of life.
The “American Dream” is so dead.
Fine with me. Let the bureaucrats eat cake!
I sincerely hope you're right. As for me, I will continue to oppose this bill.
Yeah, right! Like Obamacare repeal, the border wall, etc. I’ll believe it when I see it.
Why are we waiting for September? Why are we tacitly accepting an Omnibus bill? Why not return to funding in stages as we have in the past?
The Omnibus package was a Democrat/Communist approach to limit debate and sneak or force funding for many unpopular programs.
The agency or agencies with serious funding issues can be negotiated individually as they were in more rational times.
If a shut down is good for September, it is good for May.
If I was president I’d
* veto ANY budget that includes ANY item not in the explicit enumerated powers. Override that if you want.
* If I get another generic Ryan-Omnicrap budget I’d only pay for explicit enumerated powers’ functions
* tell congress to pass independent funding legislation for anything that they want to fund through the elastic clause with clear explanation of how the funds are “necessary and proper” for the other powers.
* tell congress and states to pass amendments if they want the federal government to have additional powers
* Tell Ds and Rs “see you in court” if they insist on a Hamiltonian instead of Madisonian interpretation of the Constitution. Congress makes the budget but I’m in charge of spending until you impeach me - and I’m not spending if the Constitution doesn’t give me the power or congress the power to authorize it. The public will learn a lot about the Constitution if you impeach me for NOT FOLLOWING IT.
That means a “real” shutdown.
After that we can start negotiating (with public visibility). But make citizens aware of the Constitution and get the political class to argue for all of the expanded powers they want. An enumerated powers interpretation of the Constitution is not realistic but it’s a good starting point for negotiating a reasonable government. And a shutdown is a good way to make the point that “enumerated powers/limited governement” is my starting point rather than “general welfare/anything I want” position.
So he’s basically saying that the Congress, in spite of everything they say, have no intention of passing a budget between now and then.
Why not veto the current budget?
If he’s not willing to shut the government down over this crummy budget deal now then why should we believe he’ll shut it down in October?
I follow your line of thinking........we’ll see what happens in the fall.
I’ll bet this freaking can gets kicked down the road in September as well! Pence was on Rush’s show today bragging about working with the Democrats!
Pfft!
- The CR is DEAD. There will be no more CRs. We will return to a sane budget process as envisioned by our Founders.

I will believe it when I see it.
We have not had a budget in 8 years.
