That’s what the GOP does best...sells us out.
BOHICA.
“ if we have yo shut down the government we will but we will build that wall” donald j. Trump. To get my vote!!
All of those suck, but #9 is a real turd in the punchbowl - rewarding those with student loan forgiveness who will be leftie govt and nonprofit stooges.
What a kick in the shins to hard working taxpayers.
I can’t wait until Ryan leaves.
There’s only 10?
11. Adds back all the funding cut from the IRS over the Lois Learner scandal and is even over $400 million more than President Trump requested.
I was leaning toward voting in the congressional election this November.
"I know how to get the rest to lie less."
Wouldn’t it be better to have a list on when the Republicans Did NOT sell us out??
There is no question Ryan and McConnell simply gave up and surrendered here. However, it is important to also add context. This is an election year. This is an election year budget.
Not excusing their ducking the hard votes, but what I think they did was simply to take the easy (cowardly?) way out and then try and get Trump to make the hard vetoes and blame him for any certain political fallout.
Right now the deck is stacked against Republicans. If they simply hold the line on spending then the NYTimes, the WaPo, CNNNBCABCCBS, and all the others show individual Republicans as pushing grandma off a cliff while forced to eat dog food.
I am certainly not happy the way they weaseled out of any responsibility whatsoever, but context is also needed. I would be somewhat comforted if I knew they would fix much of this after the election. They won’t. Therefore there is little solace to be had.
White House just tweeted:
President Trump has succeeded in securing funding for priorities that protect and support all Americans.
So, no veto should be expected.
Enjoy your impeachment hearings,. Mr. Trump. The Repugs are going down like a crack ***** this November.
When you offer no reason to vote for you - then no one votes for you. Wanted: New political party.
I went to WH.gov and let them know my opinion of this bill.
My blood is beyond boiling.......this bill is UTTER GARBAGE and Trump had better not sign it but instead VETO it. Let the government shutdown NOW!
It never occured to me that one day I might hate the GOP just as much as the Dems.
The party of bush, ryan, mcScrotum, romney, mccain, graham, etc. have been giving a big MIDDLE FINGER to the Trump voters(real Americans) since he was elected. Actually before he was elected. Torpedoing his agenda, stalling & resisting, and threatening to impeach him.
It’s time for nuremberg-style treason trials and hangings on the national mall.
