An election win in 2016 followed by a booming economy and no new wars lol?
Can we get some more of it, please?
It's all about power for the uniparty. Congress has never worked a day in their lives until Trump came to office.
You and I agree on that. Dogs are much better earthlings than humans
true. The Dems have to run on the fact the border crisis is NOT a crisis ( we have 900,000 already detained for asylum processing) and the new trick is driving into the desert and dumping buses full of people to rush the border .
But in the meantime we are getting overrun with illegal criminals as well -cops getting shot by illegals that have been deported before..there is a provision in the bill that says if ANY adult ( even a drug runner/trafficer) can point to any unaccompanied minor as a familiy unit they can't be deported.. again THE REPUBLICANS NEGOTIATED THIS!!
Gawd I hate DC politics -neither the Republicans or Dems want what's best for the county-
all they want to do is play political games of "gotcha"
well I can't go back. Worthless..? just worthless

An election win that has led the administration into a whirlpool of corruption? An economic boom on the back of the Obama administration? Continuing wars and conflicts? A booming economy that give Trump no boost in the polls. Oh, yes, you are going to get more of it.

Nice try on the Obama economy.
It’s irritating that the country is doing so well under Trump, isn’t it lol.

Every trumper is a N4T.
Utter bullshit.
There have been plenty of Democrats in red states who've bucked the party and Democrat Presidents and plenty of times Republicans have marched in the same style of lockstep as you accuse the Democrats of.
It all depends on the issue and how it plays with the constituency back home.

No one thinks that, because those who understand the economy do not credit Trump much at all.
It's irritating that Trump sucks in the polls when the economy is OK.

5 Reasons Trump Should Not Sign Massively Flawed Omnibus Bill
1. The Bill Allows Mexican Cartel-Connected Texas Counties to Stop Border Wall:
A key provision in the spending bill being presented to President Trump for signing stipulates that the federal government give specific Texas border counties the opportunity to derail any efforts to build barriers, fencing, or walls by simply opposing the construction of the border security measures–but many of the specified counties have a long and recent history of top officials taking bribes from the Mexican Gulf Cartel. Ultimately, the bill allows county offices with historic ties to the Gulf Cartel to stop U.S. border barriers from being constructed in the region.
Local government officials spoke out against the building of additional border barriers and have relied on the judgment of local law enforcement officials. As Breitbart News reported, the bill being presented to President Trump has a stipulation that would require the approval of local governments in order to move forward with the construction of any border barriers. However, the three counties where the border barriers were expected to be built are Starr, Hidalgo, and Cameron–three counties that in the less than 20 years have seen five sheriffs and numerous top law enforcement officials sent to prison for receiving bribes from the Mexican Gulf Cartel, or other acts of public corruption.

2. The Bill Gives Protections To Illegal Aliens Who Sponsor Unaccompanied Minors:
One measure within the bill would prohibit DHS from detaining or deporting a sponsor, potential sponsor, or household member of an unaccompanied minor based on information shared with HHS.
The exemption does not apply to sponsors with felony convictions or charges. Similarly, it does not apply to people linked to businesses that employ minors for less than a legal wage, or that involve prostitution.
Democrats have pushed for such protections to ensure that sponsors who step forward to claim unaccompanied children will not face the threat of arrest and deportation, but immigration hawks say it’s a free pass for undocumented immigrants.
Jessica Vaughan, a policy director with the restrictionist Center for Immigration Studies, said in a tweet Thursday morning that the provision amounted to “de facto sanctuary for anyone near" an unaccompanied minor.

3. Local Leftist Politicians Will Have The Power To Veto Wall Construction:
Unbelievably, the bill also provides largely Left-leaning local public officials in Texas's Rio Grande Valley with unilateral vetoes over the meager amounts of wall funding that the bill even authorizes. Section 232(a) of this bill states that "prior to use of any funds made available by this Act for the construction of physical barriers," the Department of Homeland Security "shall confer and seek to reach mutual agreement regarding the design and alignment of physical barriers within that city." The bill then specifies that it is "local elected officials" with whom the Department of Homeland Security must consult. Crucially, the bill actually only authorizes fencing for the Customs and Border Protection-designated Rio Grande Valley sector. But the Texas border counties in the Rio Grande Valley sector are generally heavily Democrat-leaning; as Daniel Horowitz laments, "These are the most liberal counties on the border (thanks to demographics of open borders itself!), and there is practically no local official who supports the wall in these counties."

4. Less Of A Wall Than Even Democrats Already Agreed To:
Trump originally demanded $25 billion for the wall. Then he negotiated himself down to $5.6 billion. Democrats balked and only agreed to $1.6 billion. This bill calls it a day at $1.375 billion, enough to construct 55 miles. But it’s worse than that. This bill limits the president’s ability to construct “barriers” to just the Rio Grande Valley sector and only bollard fencing, not concrete walls of any kind. There’s no ability to adapt. Furthermore, section 231 prohibits construction even within the RGV in five locations that are either federal or state lands. Remember, the challenge with building a wall in Texas is that, unlike in other states, the feds need to navigate issues with private lands. The first place you’d construct fencing is on public lands, which are now prohibited. The national parks along the border have gotten so bad that park rangers are scared to travel alone in them.

5. The Bill Does Not Provide Funding For Needed Hires At ICE And CBP:
Fox News reports:
But in an attempt to pressure the agency to detain fewer illegal immigrants, Democrats ensured that the bill did not include funding for the 2,000 additional ICE agents requested by the Trump administration, or the 750 Border Patrol agents that were also sought.
CNN reports:
The bill includes funding for an average 45,274 detentions beds per day, with the intent to return to 40,520 by the end of the fiscal year, which is the level funded in the last fiscal year, but short of the administration's request of 52,000 detention beds.

He is going to sign the bill, and it is because he has no options, he has no leverage, he totally overplayed his hand, and Madam Speaker Pelosi totally played him like the big, fat, stupid hog he is.
I'm not "accusing" Dems of anything. They Whip well.
My problem is with Republicans who run scared -completely out played because of fear of the media.
Republicans have no backbone. My views are not establishment Republican or neocons -but since the Dems have moved so far Progressive left, i'm now a functional conservative, and normally would be a Republican.
But i'm really a populist, having absolutely no confidence in the 2 party duopoly. you can see why with this bill
But I want nothing to do with them -they are worthless. Dems are simply insanely stupid TDS.
forget them both, power to the electorate
Airstrip One
Completely Effed
So, you are mad the Republicans got a small bill through the House and a filibuster-able Senate?
