Got that right FRiend.
Deserves a repeat.
People are sick of foreign deployments and/or wars that go on and on and on seemingly indefinitely.
From the article:”conservatives should prepare for the next fight, which will be backed by a presidential veto.”
Right. It’s always the next fight and a get tough promise. Excuse me, but I don’t believe it. We’ve been lied to so many times that I don’t care. They can do whatever they want; I’ll decide whether I want to comply or not.
Let me know when the criminals are arrested.
This is a 6 month spending bill and there’s 1.3 billion allocated to the border wall.
The people whining because the entire wall won’t be built in 6 months are not right in the head.
I find it hard to believe that they will have time to spend 1.3 billion. It sure as hell is a lot more than was ever spent in the past.
Remind me, what is OC and SC
Civil gentlemen who respect decorum are always surprised when they get kicked in the nuts by selfish, crude thugs. Their last words are always, “That’s unfair...”
I hope she is right, but the law says that appropriations must be spent on what the appropriations law says. So Trump can either obey the law, or he can find ways to skirt the law.
This spending bill will lead to a deficit of over $1 trillion dollars this year. That's reason enough to oppose it.
Defense won't be funded in future years?
Mainly for export only - we don't really fly them (and with good reason).
Waxing hysterical and threatening to abandon the President for signing a bloated 6-month spending bill—while he's in the midst of fighting a pervasive, ongoing Deep State coup attempt—betrays a breathtaking lack of perspective. The President concluded that signing this 6-month spending bill was preferable to either 1) a government shutdown or 2) having his veto overidden.
The President has earned our trust a dozen times over during the last two years. He also has access to much more information than the endless stream of armchair quarterbacks and second-guessers whose apocalyptic predictions have been consistently repudiated. Consequently, I trust his judgement over theirs unreservedly.
Nobody is saying Deplorables should be happy about this bill. I'm certainly not. But it is now water under the bridge, and anyone who rationalizes a decision to no longer support the President because he signed this bill is utterly detached from objective reality—and, indeed, has become a de facto #NeverTrumper.
Unhinged, de facto #NeverTrump trolls who run around on this forum braying about dropping their support of President Trump—and there are several delusional individuals who are doing precisely that—are effectively aiding and abetting an Enemy which is engaged in an attempted coup!
Do you still support President Trump? If yes, then great! Let's all move forward together, and let's not cry over spilt milk.
I, for one, still staunchly support President Trump—warts and all—against all enemies: Leftists, GOPe, Globalists, and especially pathetic #NeverTrump trolls...
“Trump can either obey the law, or he can find ways to skirt the law.”

Have faith in our President. He has more than voters on his side; meaning we have seen him in action. He was granted more than others for a specific Purpose.
Well argued.
How can the big increase in defense spending be called conservative? Each year the DOD loses track billions of dollars. Billions of dollars disappear and nobody in the DOD can explain where the money is or where it went.
This amounts to trillions of dollars over the years.
As long as incompetence, sloppiness and unaccountability is rewarded, it will not be fixed. The DOD has become a slow moving fat and happy bureaucracy that has more people focused on gays and transgenders and diversity and sensitivity and safe spaces than on its mission. But it isn’t just those things we ridicule. The DOD is involved in hundreds of irrelevant activities and irrelevant equipment.
The DOD should be made mean and lean.
Lots of folks wanting to throw the war because of a “less than optimum” outcome of a battle - as long as Trump continues to fight, I’ll be at his side.
Conservatives believe in PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH...who are you, a Democrat?
I wonder what the Over the fence speed was?Had to be high,way high.
