am considering a VETO of the Omnibus Spending Bill based on the fact that the 800,000 plus DACA recipients have been totally abandoned by the Democrats (not even mentioned in Bill) and the BORDER WALL, which is desperately needed for our National Defense, is not fully funded.

Veto because of DACA not being mentioned by Dems.
I love it!!
That’s great! Glad that so many people are voicing their disgust over this bill.
Trump’s tweet had 46K likes when I first came on..up to 89K now.
I come from a long line of Hollywood/New York comedy writers - including writing for the great Johnny Carson. Don’t talk to me about “engineer” humor!
You say that, yet he has made thosands of government employees leave government and he commanded federal bureaus to unilaterally cut their budgets.
How are you not a flaming idiot?
When I researched this, I didn't find that Ted Cruz had done these things. Some of his overzealous supporters (from Utah I think) made an issue about Melania posing nude, but Cruz didn't do this, nor did he sanction it.
Other people constantly repeated that Cruz was responsible, but they either weren't being honest or they didn't know what they were talking about. (merely repeating what others had said)
Do I remember the exact details off hand.. No.. I would have to go back and watch the vids and read the articles.. and after doing all of that you will still defend Ted because you obviously were blinded to the truth the first time around. Donald Trump was always fair..
I am objective, and If I had found evidence of Cruz Lying, I would have said so. Why would I be defending Cruz other than out of a desire to see the truth acknowledged? He's not President, he didn't win, he likely won't win in the future, so I really have no motive in defending him other than that I hate to see someone so viciously attacked for things he didn't actually do.
I almost got thrown off of Free Republic by Jim Robinson himself because I had been repeatedly saying Cruz is not a "natural born citizen." So don't tell me I'm blinded to the truth. I am trying to stand up for the truth, and to counteract the mob mentality that created and spread the claim that Cruz was a liar.
If he's told a lie, I haven't seen it so far. All I get are people telling me that "everyone knows this", but nobody provides any evidence to prove it.
It's okay. We all get caught up in the moment, especially the way things have been going nowadays.
Just sent a email, Thankyou for the link.
Not too encouraged though.
How long can this sit on the prez’ desk before he has to act on it or have it become law?
Very welcome.
1 - fire Mueller
2 - veto the bill
3 - empanel military tribunals
4 - file the 13K indictments
all in 1 week.
I’m ok with all of that. This bill is a throw down.
That's a pretty weak nail on which to hang the charge that "Cruz is a liar."
To be fair, what sort of conservative would say anything nice about socialized health care? I doubt many if any would say such a thing. I think his purpose in mentioning it was to point out that Trump should not be regarded as a "conservative", which is exactly what someone should have pointed out if they were running against him in a primary.
Of course he has governed much more conservatively than our previous "conservative" Presidents, and we have learned by now not to pay so much attention to what he says, and to pay more attention to what he does.
During the primaries, we didn't know this.
then when I saw how much more effective Trump was at attracting folks to the MAGA agenda
Me too. I am now so very glad that Trump won the primary, because I don't think Cruz could have won the General, nor could he have been so successful at governing in a conservative manner. Trump knows how to fight.

I don't regard "Politifact" as an honest source. They are very liberal, and all their management is very liberal. I see their argument boils down to "Because we have not found the statement that *WE* interpret means the same thing as to which Cruz is referring, it must not exist."
That's not the same as proving that something similar was not said, and they do admit that Trump said "Everybody's got to be covered." and they admit that at one time Trump supported "single payer."
Claiming that Cruz's interpretation of what Trump said is a "lie", and calling him a liar because it disagrees with what other people thought Trump meant is a pretty weak basis to claim he is lying.
If the term "liar" is so loosely defined, then I don't think any of us can survive this standard being applied to us.
Yes! I still haven’t gotten through, but I did get an email form-letter that the White House received my comments.
At least there’s a record of my support of President Trump if he decides to veto this pork bill.
kind of a brilliant move, at least on his stated reasoning.
He appeals to both extremes—the libs (supposedly) desire DACA while the Constitutionalists (definitely) desire border security.
Sweet move, DJT.
How is signing the bill a quid pro quo for ending Congressional oppo to POTUS?
It was a pretty weak nail for Cruz to have hung his lie.
