Bolton already tricked us one with WMDs in Iraq. I’m sure he’s got a plan for Iran.

Exactly...

With our young people marching against those “nasty gun thingies” and promoting rainbow colored flags instead of opting to military service, our defense really needs a helping hand...Other countries in the world are NOT looking at us and going, “Awwww!!! How sweet!!!”

The POTUS invoked the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (a law Reagan passed) because of out of control debt and now has discretionary control of all the funds.

What is wrong with Ryan and McConnell? Why do they hate their base so much? Why don’t true conservative pols run them out of DC?

See post#25. Very simple explanation in layman’s terms.

Yours is the correct response, as there is no realistic alternative now, nor was there once the election campaign of 2016 became a stark choice.

Let’s give Pres. Trump the space that he needs to clean up the big mess left over from the lawless Obama Administration.

I’m not aware of anybody else who could be trusted to do the job right.

We lost this battle but everyone is to quick to throw in he towel. Everyone is working under the assumption that Trump really is going to be Impeached by January 2019. If, however, you work with the assumption that Trump is going to do a full term then I think this is going to turn Trump HARD against the process and he will be much more willing to blow the whole thing up going forward. I may change my time if he sticks with the Iran deal because he also said of that deal he won’t renew it again. I tend to believe him when. He says this far but no farther. Let’s assume for a moment that Trump meant what he said. What happens when this comes up again in September and an election is 2 months away? He let himself no real out. They’ve been kicking the can in two month Increments. This time it was a 6 month increment. In the grand scheme of it all it’s not that big of a deal. I believe Trump is going to spend some time reading the bill, he’s going to become very angry about this and his memory won’t be short. Mattis won’t have the military veto in September. I think it’ll be a fun time and looking back this screw job will have been the catalyst

We have lost nothing. See post#5 and others concerning this issue.

Perhaps the way you see it, but I really am not “pork and mandates”...

The poltards had to pass the $1.3T 2200+ page bill to find out what’s in it, since none of them read the entire POS.

Hmmm. Let’s see how this plays out. If he really does this I expect a lot of belly aching. When I start hearing complaints about this then I’ll know it’s real

The pork and mandates in the bill determined by Congress are under the President’s discretion. He can use it all for defense if he deems it fit. That is the way the law works it is not the way I see it. It is the facts.
