PRyno and Ditch need the whip to see if negative reinforcement will work with them.
Nice, kissy-face, positive reinforcement sure hasn’t.
Look, I perfectly understand sticking it to Ryan, but why in (Nicolas Cage’s character in “The Rock”) ZEUS’ BUTTHOLE would you want to work with Schumer and Pelosi?
Simple solution, GOP, pass a damn budget.
The do-nothing Republican-controlled Congress is a joke. Trump will start working with the Dems to get at least part of his agenda thru. The Reps have shown that they are incapable of governing. They can't reach a consensus among themselves to pass legislation.
Well, you know; Houston is a very rich community (4th largest city in the U.S.), so why do they need federal money from all us taxpayers? My observation.
The establishment republican’s have brought this upon themselves by refusing to work with the President.
Republicans, McConnell and Ryan, have clear notice, work with Trump or he’ll be more than happy to work with Democrats.
Honestly, I’d love to see Trump, after explaining his frustration and reasoning, make an announcement that he is going independent.
The beatings will continue until moral improves.............I wonder how many times Trump will have to beat McConnell and Ryan over the head before they catch on?
Sending aid is one thing but don’t kiss up to the demonrats by raising the debt.
so how does cutting a deal with the RATs get the deal passed ?
Repubs should be very worried about 2018 if they pass this thing.
The thing I likes best was how he blindsided Ryan. Ryan the moron was out there an hour before criticizing this exact deal suggested by the Dems.
He had NO idea it was happening as he spoke.
Love seeing him get punked in public.
I suppose we have to resign to the fact that the GOP majority is worthless as having a legislative advantage. Schumer and Pelosi “Rick Rolled” Ryan and McConell.
First off there is barely a GOP representation in congress. What there really is are moderate democrats (DIRCs -democrats in republican clothing) and liberal democrats. The moderate democrats were continuing to throw a hissy fit because Trump dared to steal their nomination and win with it. Thus, they proceeded to glad hand him and (McStupid McCainlike) outright backstab him.
Trump sent a message to the moderate wing. This is Trump’s way of saying “fine, you want to act like a non-entity, I will treat you as one.”
As much as I detest Pelosi and Reid, I am developing an even greater dislike for the DIRCS who lie to their constituency.
“Aboard Air Force One, Trump told reporters, “We had a very good meeting with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.” “
Is this the start of the Arnold 2.0 administration?
How does the POTUS overrule Congress?
Did President Trump say he had a Pen and a Phone?
He kicked the whining do nothing Republicans in the A$$.
They write the Legislation and send it to the President’s desk to be signed. They are the Majority Party, right?
The POTUS doesn’t get a Vote, all he can do is prod them to get something done.
IF Trump keeps doing stuff like this then the Republicans will realize that they're going to be spending MUCH more money to hold on to their power then they would have otherwise.
2 cents. Good move by Trump at this time due to the national emergencies of Harvey and Irma.
The people need percieve their needs being met. It’s not the time for political bickering. Trump’s goal is to get through these disasters as smoothly as possible.
Ryan, Mconnell, et al getting their feelings hurt is irrelevant.
As I understand, this is just a short term budget? They’ll come back to it in 3 months? Time enough to deal with the more immediate and necessary issues of dealing with the storms.
Trump should have gone on TV (or even twitter or... FREE REPUBLIC!!!) and announced to the people that he was asking for a clean spending bill for ONLY Houston disaster relief and to tell the people to call their congress critters and demand they stop PLAYING POLITICS with it by insisting they would only sign it if it was included in this or that other bill.
They people would have responded.
