Read the Omnibus.

Know that Trump can still spend the money as he so chooses.

Have a bar for what to be truly outraged about.

If Trump were to appoint a liberal judge, the base should be outraged.

The FAUX outrage of a spending bill no one has read is a 48 news cycle NOTHING BURGER.

So much desperate reaching to bash Trump. It’s become boring.

The faux Trump bashing for the omnibus will last 48 hours. JOKE.

Utter hogwash......a canard some GOPEe outfit has flooded this forum with tonight

It’s a damned lie

The president does not whatsoever get to determine how omnibus is spent to the degree you suggest....only discretionary spending in his appropriations ...he can’t refuse planned parenthood and give it to his wall for instance not without an immediate injunction

Most appropriations have since 1974....been “baked in”

This notion the appropriations omnibus good for six months is just a suggestion for Trump

Is absolute unadulterated poppycock

I’ll ping smart people

Then why have Congress even vote on it if the president can spend money however he likes?

No, the money will be spent as allocated in the bill.

Trump signed it, it is now his. He had veto power, he could have forced republican Congressmen to overturn a Republican president and destroy their chances in the midterms. I don’t think they would have done it - especially after the phone lines melt down.

I don’t think people are blaming Trump so much as they are vilifying — and rightfully so! — the disgusting Republicans in Congress who rolled him. Blame Ryan and McConnell, and those who supported them. They are the real villains here.
