Lieu to Trump on spending bill: You got rolled
The Hill ^ | 03/23/18 | JOHN BOWDEN

Posted on 03/23/2018 10:21:47 PM PDT by aquila48

Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu (Calif.) taunted President Trump on Twitter Friday evening after the president signed a massive $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill. Trump threatened to veto the bill before ultimately signing it, decrying the bill's lack of funding for his border wall proposal.

Lieu mocked Trump on Friday after the bill's signing, saying that Trump was "rolled" by Republican leaders in Congress who failed to secure a deal with Democrats over border wall funding or a legislative fix for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) recipients.

"Dear @realDonaldTrump: You wimped out. You failed to deliver on your veto threat. Now we in Congress will believe you even less," Lieu tweeted.

"The Republican controlled Congress just rolled you. And they will roll you again. Because when the moment of truth came, you showed great weakness," the California lawmaker added.

“it’s part of the 700 bil military finding.
Corp of Engineers can build a wall!”

That’s a really good idea. Get the funding through the back door by signing this bill. Then the day Mattis sends in the troops to begin the project, we’ll see PDJT’s best tweet to Chucky ever: “Gotcha! You’ve been played.
You got your little tunnel. I got my Big Beautiful Wall. Thank you so much for voting for it!”

The Mattis-Trump duo would make a kick-ass construction company.

Then there are the remaining travesties in the bill. I began to read the list but got so angry I had to stop.

Isn’t it funny how Ryan, the little deep state rat, has decided not to run again. Apparently it’s all about personal enrichment and not about serving your country. Now that the party is over for individual enrichment no point in being there.

Trump should just declare TX, NM, AZ and CA to be Border Wall Sanctuary States and get on with it.

At least, unlike a LOT of FReepers, the guy knows it was the RINOs that helped set Trump up.....

The House majority in 2019 won’t need any specific charge or evidence to vote still for impeachment! It will claim the catch-all “high crimes and misdemeanors.”

will be consigned to getting coffee for the new Speaker.

He's already doing this for the former and presumably next Speaker in a figurative way if not literally. And yes, people in WI will demand that Ryan remain there.

Horizontal construction companies from all the services, lots of Hesco, and tons of concertina. Rotate active, reserve, and National Guard reconnaissance units to maintain surveillance and support them with group V UASs. Give him a plan Jim; he will go for it.

So what. Bring it on. Clinton was impeached. They’ll never get 60 votes in the Senate because the GOP knows that would be the end of the party. THAT is why the GOP hate him. They are stuck with Trump exposing their alliance with the Democrats until 2020.

Given that incontrovertible fact, the signing of a friggin’ bloated 6-month spending bill pales in significance— indeed,it fades into into utter irrelevance in the grand scale of the current state of things. I don’t care where you’re from—you need to get this reality through your thick skull.

Tell that do the bodies of 180,000 dead babies that our tax paying money will go towards to butcher over the next 6 months. WITHOUT SO MUCH AS A PEEP FROM DONALD J. TRUMP!

This one sums it up completely for me right now. Trump was rolled, plain and simple.

Ted Lieu was an arrogant ass when he worked for me as an Air Force reservist. Apparently it wasn’t a fluke.
