Fuck Trump and the GOP

[conserveguy877]

7 years of "just give us power and we'll repeal/fix it"

So what do we get?

1 judge
A tax cut that can easily be reversed.
A SHIT TON OF ATTA BOYS
Repealed regulations that can easily be put back in place.
A lot of trolling material.
An economy that sky rocketed on promises but now teeters on the edge of instability because if knee jerk tweeting.
Funded sanctuary cities
Funded abortions


I get that we do not have a super majority. I also get that a super majority is not needed. Democrats taught us that.

Stop being cowards and do the motherfucking jobs that you promised to do for my vote.

If the wall isn't started.
If planned parenthood isn't defunded.
If sanctuary cities are not defunded.
If SERIOUS SPENDING CUTS are not enacted. (And I don't mean our safety net as the first on the block)

I WILL VOTE DEMOCRAT IN 2018


I have defended Trump and been hammered for it. I have defended the GOP and feel stupider for it.

Look up what filibustering is.

And, you might wonder why there's a 60-vote rule in the Senate, when it just takes a straight majority in the House to pass a bill. The answer is that that's what the Founders intended. The Senate was designed to be the "cooling saucer," where the two parties were forced to work together. That 60-vote threshold ensures that in order to pass legislation, the majority party needs to get some buy-in from the minority.

However, that has been eroding. Back in 2013, Democrats, who at the time controlled the Senate, were so frustrated by the slow pace of confirmation of then-President Obama's nominees that they pulled the trigger on what was known as the "nuclear option." This essentially changed the rules in the Senate and busted the 60-vote threshold down to a simple majority of 51 votes for presidential nominees only.

Fast-forward to 2017, when Republicans chipped a little more away from the 60-vote requirement when they said that Supreme Court nominees would also only need 51 votes to be confirmed.

So things have been changing, yes. But even if that rule were changed to apply broadly to legislation, it would make no difference in the current situation facing Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. They have already been using a 51-vote rule -- in this case, the budget procedure known as "reconciliation" -- to try to get their Obamacare repeal bill passed. Under this rule, they're limited to what they can keep in and what they can leave out. The rule only allows Republicans to touch Obamacare's budget-related provisions, not its regulations. The bill would repeal all of Obamacare's subsidies, taxes, and penalties for those who don't buy insurance, but keeps in place Obamacare's rules about what insurers must cover.

Even with that rule in place, Republicans have been unable to reach the bare majority they need to pass the legislation.

Why is a simple majority usually not enough to pass a bill in the Senate?

It's what cornered Trump. Filibustering sucks.

And then when power changes hands it will only be barely begun and they will wipe out it out again.

.Would Trump actually have to become a dictator in order to get to his goals ?? Is that the desperation he has created in the minds of the citizens in order to get him to his goals ? Are you comfortable with Trump operating as a dictator in order to get through all the devils who are crazy to stop him and his voter's ?? What has this nation devolved into ?

He could get the wall the same way Obama got Obamacare for all I care.

If should be noted that the economy DID NOT “skyrocket on promises.” GDP growth was 2.3% for 2017.

The economy DID skyrocket. I saw it first hand in my business. I went through near a decade of laying people off every winter. Trump was elected and I had to HIRE HELP

Well, it's a good thing then the economy Trump train is moving.

It is for now. But if you can't see the warning signs you're blinded by partisanship

Fuck Trump and the GOP

No shit, who would have thunk it?!?!

You are an example of why the left can not be bartered with. Even in the face of concession all you can muster is a half hearted troll.

You are an empty vessel

No Rump is, hell you goof he never was or has been a conservative. He is a limousine liberal that pulled the wool over the eyes of the dumbest among us! Wallow in it you deserve it!

Just SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Any honest leftist who's been on this site for any length of time will tell you that I HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT FOR TWO FUCKING YEARS

You think it would take two years to build the wall? It takes time and draining the swamp.

I am in construction. I want to see significant progress not some pacifying bullshit built for votes.

 

[blackhawk]

What a Presidential candidate promises on the campiagn trail and what they can get through Congress is rarely the same thing the government was never designed for the party in control to be able to get it's way on everything it wanted doesn't matter which party it is. I know this can be frustrating and a pain in the ass but consider how easy it would be for either party to pass laws, rules to ensure they stay in control if it wasn't.

I'm not one to defend that douche Trump, but ...

The tax cuts, the deregulation, and the strong economy are a BIG deal.

And your serious spending cuts aren't particularly serious, especially if you don't mean our safety net, because about three-quarters of our budget is the safety net and the military.

It's hoping that there can be good candidates in mid-terms that favor the wall, fixing DACA, and defunding planned parenthood. So far I know Sheriff Joe favors all what you started the thread about.

 

[beagle9]

If any Trump voters are pissed about the signing of this bill please tell me what you want now Including you out there Rushbo!!!!...to go back to pelosiville? Look it had to be done...we needed to get the wall started and the military funded....the world is not getting safer...and now Trump has the dems in a quagmire over DACA....It was a good day do not fret...

A major complaint is that he's not getting the wall started. He got money to repair fencing that is already there.

Nothing wrong with repairs and upgrades, and then applying new technologies to increase security, efficiency, and better results at pushing back against illegal crossings, illegal hiring, illegal sanctuary cities etc under Trump. It ain't over till it's over.

Look up what filibustering is.

Look up what VETO means.

The GOP had no fucking balls and passed this liberal west dream. THEN HE SIGNED IT

Okay, then they all blame Trump for a shutdown all conspired by the establishments on both sides of parties? It's only happening because Mccain and Schumer/Pelosi are best friends. Trump cares about the military. He was cornered.

------------------------------------- i think thats true , TRUMP wanted funding for the Military which is the most important thing there is , imo !!

OP: don’t drink and post

I'm not drinking....yet

In that case, get started.

I plan to. I bought a nice aged bottle of Buffalo Trace today.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

Q. for rightwing nitwits: where do you go from here…

Is Trump now the ‘establishment.’

Is the search on for another ‘anti-establishment’ candidate for 2020.

When will you realize that your naïve, childish perception of ‘small’ government is a ridiculous myth that will never come to be.

The next bill can be defunding planned parenthood. Which Trump would sign. It's just the president not wanting to shutdown the government.

He said this morning that the contractors will begin the construction of the wall next week....it's only a small portion of what is needed but anything will help...a porous border is not good for us or Mexico...

No small government person would have voted for Trump, he has never been about smaller government.

Wait for the Mccain's and Flake's to all be voted out the senate to build the wall.
