    Default "Democrats introduce 'THUG Act' to block funding for G-7 at Trump resort"

    "Democrats introduced legislation Friday that would block federal funding for next year’s Group of Seven (G-7) summit at Trump National Doral Miami"

    "Democratic Reps. Lois Frankel (Fla.), Bennie Thompson (Miss.) and Steve Cohen (Tenn.) introduced the Trump’s Heist Undermines the G-7 (THUG) Act"

    "The legislation would require Trump to provide Congress with any documents related to his decision to host the event at his property. The measure is unlikely to be taken up in the GOP-controlled Senate."

    "I get the criticisms. So does [Trump]… but no, there’s no issue here on him profiting from this in any way, shape or form," Mulvaney said"

    https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4...at-trump-hotel

    Got to love the acronym, the "THUG Act"

    So if Mulvaney is honest, why wouldn't Mitch take up the legislation, why wouldn't Trump not want to show Americans that he is not "profiting from this in any way, shape, or form?"

    It would be awesome to see the Dems actually pass legislation that would help the country instead of always hobbling POTUS

    NAFTA 2 for ex. or border security like getting rid of Flores

    They have, sent hundreds of bills to Mitch who quickly buried them in a desk draw for political reasons, and to be honest, just as Harry did when he had a GOP House

    NAFTA II doesn't have full House support yet, just as there are Democrats concerned with environment concerns, their are Republicans not happy with enforcement details. In the end, it is not the big deal Trump makes it out to be, more so just an upgrade to NAFTA I, and the majority of it was settled upon in agreements for TPP long before Trump became President

    There has been billions approved for border security, just none for the "big, tremendous, thirty foot high, concrete reinforce wall." In fact, the spending to upgrade the current barriers, which Trump erroneously claims as his new wall, was approved with funding passing thru both chambers

    This nonsense by the left is really starting to get on my nerves. I mean seriously, if they actually decided to work with Trump our country would flourish.

    They have done absolutely nothing for three years except try to prevent Donald Trump from making america great again. Absolutely insane that these people still have jobs in government. They should really do some hard labor on a farm to get some perspective. Apparently they dont want to help nor do they care about the American citizen, they are more interested in aiding and abetting illegal immigrants.

    A little civics lesson for you there "ironwhatever," the Democrats have only controlled one half of one branch of Gov't for ten months now, Trump had full control for two straight years, and even today owns the US Senate, so your premise is blown from the jump

    Guess Sean didn't tell you that fact

    those are not concerns, they are excuses as NAFTA has workers rights/better wages for Mexican workers and open markets for Canada.
    You are saying stuff that is over a year old - we are not even debating this on the Floor -why not?
    ( because of TDS and not giving Trump a victory)

    and I'm not even talking about that -just a simple fix to our refugee laws that encourage mass migration

    You trying to tell us it isn't true, that the Democrats have only had control of one half to one branch of Government for nine and half months now while Trump owned all three branches for two years straight?

    And why is that an excuse for their inability to do anything? It is not. Democrats have proven themselves (again) to be useless and ineffectual.

    Trump claimed the current "barrier" is part of his new wall? Can you clarify this a little bit? And our nation needs exactly what you arent supporting: a thirty foot high concrete reinforced wall to stop illegal immigration. Trump is delivering on his promises and the wall is getting built as we speak.

    Have the democrats done anything other than harass Trump for the past three years? Can you provide an example of something, anything they have accomplished, since Trump took office?



    So other than trying to get Trump out of office everyday for the past three years, what if anything have the democrats done for the nation? In other words, are they helping to lower gun violence in their cities?

    Why can't you people exchange in full thoughts rather than dangling participles?

    Meaning all those years that the Democrats held the majority in the Senate and Harry buried House legislation it was because none of the legislation was anything other than "show votes?" Is not what the right wing media nor FOX "regular contributors" and demogogues said at the time

    But none of what you mentioned has details on enforcement, plus you can't be that naive, you really are ignoring reality here "dukkha," of course it is partially political, was not Mitch refusing to even acknowledge Obama's nominee to the SCOTUS a year out from the election also totally political? Politics role in events isn't a one way affair

    As I said, billions, how it is spent is partisan, the funding was approved by both chambers of the Congress and signed by Trump

    Not true, less true, and bogus;

    "Before Trump became president, 654 miles of the nearly 2,000-mile U.S. Mexico border had primary barriers. As of today, that hasn’t increased. To date, the administration has replaced about 60 miles of dilapidated barriers with new fencing. And a major component of Trump’s pledge — that Mexico would pay for the wall — hasn’t been part of the equation. U.S. taxpayers have paid the cost."
    https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-m...s-really-been/

    "TRUMP: “We’re going to have over 400 miles of wall built by the end of next year. It’s moving very rapidly.”
    "THE FACTS: That’s highly unlikely, and even if so, the great majority of the wall he’s talking about would be replacement barrier, not new miles of construction."
    https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politic...-kickoff-rally


    "Can you provide an example of something, anything they have accomplished?"
    In the nine and half months that the Democrats have had any input into policy they have accomplished quite a bit;
    https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bil...entatives/5947

    And if you are looking for action on gun violence, look at the statistics, those States with strict gun regulations have lower incidents of gun violence than those with less restrictions:

    You got to turn off the radio and cable channels and start thinking for yourself

    Actually, lets extend the date and go back 50 years. In that time, what have the democrats done for this country?

    The democratic party has done absolutely nothing for the past three years <------------------true statement

    The democratic party has done absolutely nothing for the past fifty years <--------------- awaiting response to prove/disprove

    Did you bother to read what your link shows? Everyone of those bills is useless as tits on a nun. Please, take the time to read it. Everyone should.

    What could they have done when they had zero control over policy? It was the Trump show for two years straight, and now we are seeing the consequences, as Mulvaney says, "get over it"
