A pox on all of them.

Kill it. Trump should say No. Veto any bill giving funding for AGW propagandizing. If Ivanka wants it, let her pay for it out of her own pocket. Do not spend our tax money on this.

"...approved a $51 billion spending bill for the State Department and foreign operations, which included an amendment to continue funding the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change as well as the scientific body the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change."

What about Hurricane Harvey and Irma?....America First...

"The U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee passed a spending bill on Thursday evening..."......that just made some foreigners very wealthy....

A panel does not a Senate make. We need to repeal and replace Congress.

President Trump should rescind Congress’ Obamacare exemption.

voted in favor, as did all committee Democrats except for West Virginia’s Joe Manchin.

That detestable POS is running scared, so he's pretending not to be an 0bamorrhoid leftist.

PATRICK MORISEY for US Senate!

From the same people who say we’re all going to die from global warming, an example of their predictive capabilities:

“Peak oil is now.” German Energy Watch Group –2008

“By 2012, surplus oil production capacity could entirely disappear..…” U.S. Department of Defense –2008 & 2010.

“A global peak is inevitable. The timing is uncertain, but the window is rapidly narrowing.” UK Energy Research Centre -2009

“The next five years will see us face … the oil crunch.” UK Industry Taskforce on Peak Oil and Energy Security –2009

Trump’s first veto...

Thanks U.S. Senate.

Wonder if this will pass the full Senate.

Wouldn’t doubt it.

Ryan would be a rubber stamp man here, most likely.

Veto this POS Mr. President.

To: Oldeconomybuyer; All
There’s major constitutional problems with this anti-Trump action of the uniparty Senate imo.

One problem is that the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the corrupt feds the specific power to regulate, tax and spend in the name of climate issues, a politically correct front-end for unconstitutional, vote-winning wealth redistribution imo.

Another problem is that the Constitution’s Article V guarantees all states their suffrage. But a 30 member panel ignores many states.

From Article V: "and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate."

Also, note that Justice Joseph Story had clarified that Congress cannot use the General Welfare Clause (GWC; 1.8.1) as an excuse to justify foreign aid.

If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” —Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2

The bottom line is that the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Senate is once again playing with our heads.

Although Trump is accomplishing a LOT as president, it remains that since the uniparty Congress wants to get rid of him that his first two years in office are arguably for practice. That being said ...

Drain the swamp sewer! Drain the sewer!

Remember in November 2018 !

Since corrupt Congress is the biggest part of the sewer (imo) that Trump wants to drain, it is actually up to patriots to drain the sewer in the 2018 elections, patriots supporting Trump by electing as many new members of Congress as they can who will support Trump.

In the meanwhile, patriots need to make sure that there are plenty of Trump-supporting candidates on the primary ballots.

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 make sure that candidates are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed above.

Also, unlike incumbent members of Congress who wrongly remained silent while misguided state officials abridged the constitutionally enumerated rights of citizens during the lawless Obama Administration, patriots need to make sure that candidates on the 2018 primary ballots commit to the following.

Candidates need to commit to making and enforcing 14th Amendment-related laws to prosecute misguided state officials who use state powers to abridge constitutionally enumerated protections, 1st Amendment-protected religious expression and free speech for example, such actions prohibited by Section 1 of the 14th Amendment.

”14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

Again, drain the sewer! Drain the sewer!

They do!

People in these states became lazy and sent back their local idiots to the Senate.

Next time they better take it more seriously.

They will probably attach it to the budget extension to give the middle finger get to the President.

Lamar was once a more fiscally-responsible person.

He’s been part of the Swamp for far too long.

So we can pass this stupidity but have to raise the debt ceiling to help our own citizens affected by a natural disaster?

These SOB’s are so detached from reality it’s sickening. They are all millionaires and are set for life. Why would they care about Americans first especially the ones suffering through these Hurricanes? They are vile human beings. At times President Trump seems to be over matched by Deep State. Deep State isn’t accountable to anyone but their Globalist and 1% Overlords.
