'VOTE NO!': Trump Unloads on 'Unacceptable' Spending Bill, 'Crammed With Left-Wing Disasters'

Heh, I think your last sentence of your post outlined exactly the conundrum as citizens we find ourselves in, FRiend.

It means we aren’t being governed.

It means our tax money is being extracted for their own personal use.

It means we are enslaved.

“ If DeSantis is perceived as a threat be the Establishment, then he will get the exact same treatment at the same level as Trump.

If DeSantis is not a threat to the Establishment, then why bother electing him? ”

Good reasoning and question. Kudos. If they’re not yet at the gates, you can at least smell Visigoth campfires on the winds.

It’s go time in America. The 2024 presidential election has the potential to be a seminal moment in our history. I hope we don’t blow it by chasing after shiny objects.

Too little, too late. << DANGER! TDS TRUMP TROLL !!

I have read many of their writing’s predictions have pretty much come true or in the process of coming true and so many Conservatives are blind to the fact.

More or less, I agree. The entire time creating the illusion we are free. The two parties rely on each other, it maintains clear division and keeps us from uniting against them.
I have believed for many years now that it’s one party (more or less). Most of these folks have worked together for decades, they are like a dysfunctional family. When it takes months or more to pass a bill I say horse crap. It’s only to keep adding more divisive issues, the news reports them and like good serfs we fight. All the while they are adding far worse, but we don’t read, we trust politicians and news to tell us. This is the exact reason we have all the surveillance etc al now. Both sides snuck it in another covid bill in 2020.

How much was Hannity paid to praise FBI? Inquiring minds want to know.

Remarks by President Trump at Signing of H.R.748, The CARES Act:

“Well, thank you all very much. This is a very important day. I’ll sign the single-biggest economic relief package in American history and, I must say, or any other package, by the way. It’s twice as large as any relief ever signed. It’s $2.2 billion, but it actually goes up to 6.2 — potentially — billion dollars — trillion dollars. So you’re talking about 6.2 trillion-dollar bill.”

As usual, being the NeverTrump Troll you are, you conventiently leave out all historical facts and details that undermine your Trump smear of the du jour:

Following is a more comprehensive list of actual things President Trump accomplished on the Economy:

Before the Coronavirus spread from China across the globe, President Trump helped America build its strongest economy in history. Median household incomes rose to their highest level ever in 2019, while the poverty rate hit an all-time low. Under the Trump Administration, more Americans were employed than ever before—160 million—and the unemployment rate fell to a 50-year low. The unemployment rates for African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, and Americans without a high-school diploma all hit record lows, while the Trump “Blue-Collar Boom” saw wages grow faster for workers than for managers or supervisors.

After COVID-19 forced a temporary economic shutdown, President Trump signed the largest relief package in American history to protect workers and families from economic devastation. Under President Trump’s leadership, the American economy surged back to life within months, seeing record growth and job gains.

Remarks by President Trump at Signing of H.R.748, The CARES Act:

“Well, thank you all very much. This is a very important day. I’ll sign the single-biggest economic relief package in American history and, I must say, or any other package, by the way. It’s twice as large as any relief ever signed. It’s $2.2 billion, but it actually goes up to 6.2 — potentially — billion dollars — trillion dollars. So you’re talking about 6.2 trillion-dollar bill.”

Some context of what the CARES act actually provided, you know, the details you left out:

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act,[b]^[1] also known as the CARES Act,^[2] is a $2.2 trillion economic stimulus bill passed by the 116th U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Donald Trump on March 27, 2020, in response to the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.^[3]^[4] The spending primarily includes $300 billion in one-time cash payments to individual people who submit a tax return in America (with most single adults receiving $1,200 and families with children receiving more^[5]), $260 billion in increased unemployment benefits, the creation of the Paycheck Protection Program that provides forgivable loans to small businesses with an initial $350 billion in funding (later increased to $669 billion by subsequent legislation), $500 billion in loans for corporations, and $339.8 billion to state and local governments.^[6]

The spending bill has more pork than Jimmy Dean has ever had.

You are correct. I left out inflation and the fact that CARES ACT, signed into law by Trump, was the single largest appropriations bill of all time.

If you were calling me a nevertrumper troll, you’re the first around here, and further shows exactly why we can’t achieve anything when the dems can.

We’ll eat our own alive and most of the dems will circle the wagon.

I remembered him either vetoing or threatening to veto on one of those bills, and I was wrong. Another freeper corrected me, who didn’t do research and went off my obviously faulty memory, and provided some proof.

Nope, not you.
