Republicans are Worthless Dogs

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

Good points.

Republicans do well to fear the media because democrats basically own it. Pelosi and company know all they need to do is give voice to a narrative and their media minions will obediently pick it up and run with it. It becomes TRUTH lol.

Largely because of the media, Republican cowardice can always be counted on and that’s been true for a long time. But it’s gotten much worse under Trump.

And on this border issue it was textbook. Why is a minor appropriation [5 billion out of a trillion dollar budget] for ANYTHING such a big deal that either side would risk a government shutdown over it? It’s not. It’s ludicrous. In fact, it had to set some sort of record for congress being miserly with tax payers money.

This wasn’t a risk free move for either party since they both played a role in it. The difference is Pelosi knew all she had to do was frame the argument such that republicans owned the shutdown and bingo—republicans owned it. Trump didn’t help matters by claiming to own it but anyone with half a brain could see that democrats could have averted it by simply voting yes on a 5 billion dollar appropriation.

But once it got labeled as ‘extortion’ it was game over for republicans.
 
So, you are mad the Republicans got a small bill through the House and a filibuster-able Senate?
it's not a small bill.
it greatly increases asylum migration, and it actually PROHIBITS most new construction with new money.

The Repub. negotiators ( Shelby et all) got rolled,and they did it willingly

it goes back to Ryan and McConnel who negotiated that horrid Omnibus Bill that Trump signed in 2017.
Republicans don't care about Trump, and Trump voters. They are establishments suck ups. They betrayed Trump

Trump is their president, and without him, we'd have Hillary -but these asshats only care about pleasing the
ever shrinking establishment

So according to you, the Dems should have just caved in to Trump on something they don't want just to keep Trump and the Repugnants from looking like the unreasonable partisan jerks they are????

When was the last time the government was shutdown over 5 billion dollars lol?

Feel free to Google.
 
according to what I'm hearing there are so many restrictions in the spending bill
"probably no miles of wall will get built due to the restrictions" ( some dude on Fox.)

WHY would Republicans negotiate this worthless bill? Are they that terrified ?

Yes. they only care about not getting a shutdown -which makes them look bad and threatens their power.

I can't understand why any average American who isn't part of the DC plutocracy would be a Republican.

The Republican party is worse then a leaky ship -it can't even get to sea
Why would you want to be in a party that can't even back it's own president?

I agree with the worthless part but dogs are nice and good, not like your Repubs.
 
They've been in a quandary over Trump since the '16 R. convention. Understandable back then.

Not really. The GOP was all about Trump and Russia in 2016. In fact, they changed their party platform to cater to pro-Russia factions. McConnell took $2.5M for his PACs from Russian-linked Oligarchs during that cycle.
 
The reality is congress and presidents disagree. I don’t want a Congress that is purely a rubber stamp to the President. And in a mixed government situation like we have today you have to compromise unless you want the government shut down indenfinitely. And the last time we ended up with the republicans getting routed we got Obamacare

Obamacare has a higher approval rating than the Russia Tax Cut.


You are free of course to call republicans worthless, it doesn’t bother me. But as a Republican I do not want to see the government shut down again. We will get crushed for it.

Why would you?
 
Trump does not own an economy that gives him no political legs.

Obama would be at 70% with this economy, GWB at 55% at least.

The economy isn't even that great.

If it was, then tax revenues for 2018 would have surpassed 2017, but they didn't.

The only other times this century when revenue was below the year before was during the Great Recession (2007-2009) and the Bush Tax Cuts (2001-2003).

Conservatives said that cutting taxes would increase economic activity which would increase revenues.

Only, revenues didn't increase, so their fundamental belief is horseshit...and they know it.
