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.

The Democrats don’t need reasons. After all, they’ve gone from “the seriousness of the charges” to their serious need to bring any charges in the last few years. They’ll make stuff up (obviously).

The DNC is a hive of scum and villainy.

Mueller will get his. His kind always does.

Pardon, but must make the comment:
Given the particulars, what difference does it make?
If one is not found, which will be the case, one might be constructed. It wouldn’t be the first time, unfortunately, we will be observing the d’rats (ALL of them) join forces with the pubbies to get what they desire. WTP have been split for years into believing we are on opposite sides of the fence when actually the two party system is but ONE, WON, ONE!

Our Samson has had his hair cut; it will grow again. In the same way? And if it should grow, will it be longer and stronger? It is hoped that POTUS has his Spiritual force around him this evening and that One on High is speaking to him as to what he should have, might have done differently. To find those that oppose, would be the first order of business. For certain, this would be Ryan and McConnell two men? who would shed no tears in driving him from the temples of DC.

Our POTUS and our nation are in need of our prayers. Both need the tenacity of WTP. Citizens, especially Christians, should use this defeat to band together and make ourselves known and heard. We can no longer sit back to watch others do...instead, we learn that we must get involved and in the action to make right the wrongs and find the truth among the lies and deceit.

Two Presidents have been impeached.

Were either of them removed from office?

Clinton was impeached on real charges and stayed in office. Again my friend, what is the charge?

We need to pray indeed my friend. We need to pray this: Praise The Lord. And pass the ammunition. I’m tired of seeing leftist goons in the streets attacking our side and sending them to the hospital. If they screw with this president it’ll be time to send theirs to the morgue.

Naaaaa, Impeachment not gonna happen. Every time you ask a Liberal what the so called impeachment charges will be.... crickets

Mueller will supply the charges. Truth of the charges be damned. And Mueller has a history of pushing charges, even when he knows they’re false. He did it when he was at the corrupt FBI Boston offices.

Once the false charges are made, the MSM will fan the fire and the Congress will have all the cover they need to impeach. Ridding DC of an individual who is a danger to DC.

The great Republican battle cry, heard at every engagement as they run away, “wait until the next fight!”

He got the wall funding, it’s part of the 700 bil military finding.

Corp of Engineers can build a wall!

Yes, that is correct!

*** Trump don’t get rolled, he has something big up his sleeve. ***

What, distract us with a war in Iran? Further war in Syria?
Play up the opioid crisis, while the US protects the poppy fields in Afghanistan?

Sorry, the 5d chess mantra is no longer working for me.

When the “most pro life” President ever signs off on 500,000,000 for Planned Parenthood, and eroding the second amendment, I am not claiming it is a victory for conservative values.

Can’t say I disagree with you. This would be the time to consider that prayer and all it would entail.

If Clinton had Trump’s approval ratings he would have been convicted and removed from office. It’s all political. That black democrat from South Carolina charged him with something when he introduced Articles of Impeachment earlier this year. Maybe they’ll go with that...

Truth

Nothing is going to happen. Which is why Trump has announced he is running in 2020 with a new campaign manager.

Libs are dreaming and playing their base. Works to Trumps advantage that they are so over the top with their calls for so called drummed up false charge impeachment.

Shows how desperate and stupid the Libs are in 2018. They are a JOKE.

A horrible thing to have to consider but the Founders, in their infinite and God given light and reason knew this day might come and so they left us “The Remedy Of Last Resort’’. If we surrender our 2nd Amendment rights to a mob then EVERYTHING they fought for will have been in vain and The Land Of The Free and The Home Of The Brave will cease to exist.

Mueller will be slithering away soon enough. Looking forward to his government paid laptop being returned to the DOJ. If/when Mueller tries to log in.... he needs to get Access Denied. You are no longer paid by We The People to conduct your lying witch hunt. Bye.

Lieu is a jerk, but what is inaccurate about his tweet?

Sadly, it’s mostly accurate.
