Reality is for the consideration of reality.
"Conservative" (In terms of fiscal responsibility) is just a trait to strive for. The Porkulus passed/signed is anything but this type of "conservative" if that was the case.

President Trump on Sunday signed a $2.3 trillion COVID-19 relief and government funding bill that includes $600 stimulus checks for most Americans.

No, Chicken Little, the sky is not falling.
You and the rest of us do not have the details yet and we won’t likely know until this time tomorrow.
Perhaps.
The election was stolen from 80 million Americans, and all we are promised is a rally.
Maybe listening to Lee Greenwood's "I'm Proud To Be An American" makes some people feel better, but it won't stop the Deep State.
The very day after the 2016 election the “deep state”, leftists, corporate scumbags, and others went into full attack mode. No President has seen as much opposition as he has. It’s amazing he got done what he did.
Not a line item veto, see post 132
President Trump, I am still not tired of winning.
The way I read it.
President Trump sends Congress a special message about the proposed rescission.
President Trump with holds the monies for 45 days.
Congress has to pass a law, within 45 days, to approve the rescission.
I am guessing there are 1001 ways to compose a special message to Congress about a proposed rescission.
We are going to need pallets of photocopier paper.
The Congressmen will have to read the bill.
I cannot stop laughing!

Rescissions
Put simply, if the President wants to spend less money than Congress provided for a particular purpose, he or she must first secure a law providing Congressional approval to rescind the funding in question. The ICA requires that the President send a special message to Congress identifying the amount of the proposed rescission; the reasons for it; and the budgetary, economic, and programmatic effects of the rescission. Upon transmission of such special message, the President may withhold certain funding in the affected accounts for up to 45 legislative session days. If a law approving the rescission is not enacted within the 45 days, any withheld funds must be made available for obligation.
A 2018 Government Accountability Office legal opinion holds that if the President proposes a rescission, he or she must make the affected funds available to be prudently obligated before the funds expire, even if the 45-day clock is still running. This means, for example, that the President cannot strategically time a rescission request for late in the fiscal year and withhold the funding until it expires, thus achieving a rescission without Congressional approval.
It’s law, signed now by the President. Doesn’t matter if the Congress goes home.
So, after 45 days the money must be released.
While you and I are at opposite ends in how this election battle is going, I will give you credit for your optimism.
No, he did so much good, gave us judges, and many other good things. But, he took in too many swampers.

“ Well I think it is good that Donald “never again”Trump has only a few more weeks to damage the country. ”
Better to be quiet than to open the mouth and reveal a fool. Enjoy Biden.
Trump budget? You mean like those “Trump” judges? How are those judges working out? What do judges and spending bills have in common here besides Trump?
“It also creates new criminal penalties including prison time for violating copyright laws with online streaming.”
This is really bad; this section needs more illumination because if it means what I think it means a lot of folks using snippets of copyrighted materials to do memes,gifs and to “quote” public officials in their online commentaries, may be arrested for copyright violations. Most egregious copywrite violations are adjudicated with court ordered cease and desist orders and/or fines. Now they might be arrested and imprisoned.
If he can’t turn around the election then I have to say President Trump leaves with a whimper, not a bang.
I had so hoped otherwise.
No surprise. Trump is pulling his punches because he plans on running in 2024. At this rate he’s going to be at Biden’s inauguration, too.
Thanks - I have never heard of this.
No, the rally should go forward. 5he election was stolen from US. THE AMERICA FIRST MOVENENT continues, and will grow.
It looks like he signed it while giving statements that he expects to see the $600 increased to $2000, which is being voted on by Congress tomorrow. He also reserves the right to impound wasteful funds under an act of ‘74.
He was probably forced to sign it because of the expiration of unemployment benefits for much of the country tonight. We are already under revolutionary conditions.. this could tip it.
So, after 45 days the money must be released.
There is a NEW Congress on January 3rd. Dems LOST members.
Get it now?
If Trump doesn’t know that the pork is the issue then he is really lost. And not a whole heck of a lot different than the dems.
Sounds like Graham straightened out Trump on the golf course yesterday.
