SIGH.

These relatively small agencies won't make or break the budget. However, you have to start somewhere.

Disappointed we didn't make a dent in defunding some of the liberal sacred cows.

[jjotto]

But Defense...!!!

[Logical me]

Trump signed the bill because of the fear that we are not really up to speed to protect us from war. North Korea will not give up nuke and missile building regardless of what Trump settles on. If we cannot protect us nothing else counts.

This has all changed. The news you are reporting is lagging over this reality. WH invoked this power last night:

Swamp won.

a spending bill does not a budget make

> Trump Signs Federal Spending Bill Boosting NEA, NEH Arts Funding <

And the federal government will have to borrow almost $1 trillion more to pay for it all. But don’t worry about it! It’s not our problem.

It’s our grandchildren’s problem.

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?

[Amendment10]

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.

[windsorknot]

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.

[DannyTN]

At least Trump called them out and suggested cutting funding to Congress.

Would any other candidate have even done that?

[Scooter100]

Yes, Trump suckered them again. A big fat military budget. Enough for the Army Corps of Engineers to build the wall, and the Congress powerless to stop him. Brilliant.

[Midwesterner53]

Trump and the establishment are not fools but we are.

Everyone commenting on Trump’s signing this bill ought to watch the video before saying anything.

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) should be shut down.

Talk to Ryan and McConnell - they crafted a “deal” that they knew they could override a veto with because they knew the Dems would love it....and because they all hate Trump...this is the RINOs working with the Dems to do what they all hoped Mueller would be able to do....they knew they could shove it in Trump’s face if he vetoed it and use rhetoric that they “saved the military while he deserted them” and if he signed it they hoped that his base would leave in droves....the question is, do we want to help them remove what they see as the greatest threat they’ve ever had to their plans of subjugating the People or do we want to help him fight - lots here seem to ant to throw in the towel and bitch instead of fighting.
