Wrong decision.
Methinks the article's author left out updating various tax schedules such as the AMT as well, since it will be used a bludgeon to force Trump to cave in on raising the debt ceiling...
I’m not so sure. It’s a 3 month kick the can and includes Harvey relief - in against the debt limit increase but I can live with 3 months.
What were Ryan and McConnell going to do? They didn’t even have legislation on the table for a very shortened session and they’re the party in power. The GOPe made this bed - let them sleep in it.
Here we go again with punting to Christmas to hide everything in a Crimenibus bill at the end of the year.
Cantorize your weasels, America!
F Ryan. It might not be too popular here, but I hope Trump does not lift a finger to help the green lamp Republicans with their debt hysteria. Yes, by all means cut everything in the budget that’s not necessary, but the overall level of debt in my view is minor concern relative to the illegal alien invasion, Black Lives Matter/Antifa domestic terrorism, and ISIS Islamofascism.
President Trump on Tuesday threatened to shut down the federal government if Congress doesn't present him with a spending bill for the next fiscal year that includes funding for a wall on the southern border.
“The obstructionist Democrats would like us not to do it, but believe me, if we have to close down our government, we're building that wall,” Trump said at a rally in Phoenix.

right decision. Ryan and Mitch need competition and of Nancy and Chuck are finally willing to work with Trump then he should use them and ultimately start putting some real pressure on the two cucks. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I would rather Democrats leading Congress if they would get off the impeachment crap. The Republicans are awful and they need to be reduced to nothing. Trump could get infrastructure and Tax Reform with the Democrats, he’ll get nothing as long as the Repukes are in power. 3 Months is nothing, Trump should work on getting the wall and then destroying the Republican party for 2018 (If he can’t get the Primary wins that are needed)
Dumb idea! Hope it is not true
Trump on Air Force One tells press had good meeting with Dem leaders Pelosi and Schumer. “We agreed to a 3-month extension on debt ceiling.”

Did it include the Wall?
“Did it include the Wall?”
Of course not. It was Schumer and Pelosi’s proposal.
trumpster begin to post excuses for trump in 3...2...1
Trump went to the left of Paul Ryan here and sided with Pelosi and Schumer who called him a coward.
No - this is a 3 month extension only.
My guess isn’t Trump did this to expedite Harvey relief and to fire a warning shot over the bow of the GOPe. The actual bill still has to be done before Christmas.
This also prevents Ryan and McConnell from trying to ramrod a shoddy bill asap removing the “we didn’t have time” excuse and gives them more time to negotiate DACA... or not...
Looks bad, and yet, anything opposed by Paul and Mitch...
Both the Congressional Dems and RINOs are his enemies.
Who’s jamming who?
18,000 level chess ping
The other interesting point here - Pelosi and Schumer just sided with Trump.
The DNC just sided with Trump... the new Adolph Hitler.
What does this do to the media onslaught?
What happens to #resist ?
Come on Trump, make Schmuckie cry again ...
“18,000 level chess ping”
What a crock, more like an 18,000 foot cave.
Keep those excuses and justifications coming.
