Trump just lost a huge chunk of his base by signing this budget busting, Democrat loving, abortion of a spending bill. Kiss the mid-terms goodbye. The Dems will regain the House and his Potemkin Wall will be dead. Sorry oh great Orange savior, banning transgenders from the military will not make us forget what you just did.
Only the most naive brain dead Trumpeteers will continue to believe this is part of your master 16D chess plan to save America. I judge people based on their actions, not their words. You’re just another bloviating politician who promises one thing and delivers a pile of shit to the American people. You’re finished.
Matt Drudge and Ann Coulter took to Twitter on Friday after President Trump “begrudgingly” signed the $1.3 trillion omnibus spending package – after threatening to veto it hours earlier over the “800,000 DACA recipients” which Trump said were “totally abandoned by the Democrats,” and the lack of funding for the “BORDER WALL.”
I am considering a VETO of the Omnibus Spending Bill based on the fact that the 800,000 plus DACA recipients have been totally abandoned by the Democrats (not even mentioned in Bill) and the BORDER WALL, which is desperately needed for our National Defense, is not fully funded.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 23, 2018
Trump spent around 30 minutes on Friday doing his best to convince his base that, gosh dangit, he was “forced” to sign the bill in order to fully fund the military.
In response to Trump bemoaning the legislation, claiming “I will never sign a bill like this again,” pundit and author Ann Coulter – a harsh critic of Trump whenever he strays from campaign promises, tweeted “Yeah, because you’ll be impeached.”
“ I will never sign another bill like this again”
Yeah, because you’ll be impeached.
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) March 23, 2018
Coulter then tweeted “CONGRATULATIONS, PRESIDENT SCHUMER!”
CONGRATULATIONS, PRESIDENT SCHUMER!

Of note, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) declared the spending bill rushed through by Republicans a “victory.”
“The distinguished leader has clearly put forth many of the priorities that we’re very proud of in a bill that’s one yard high,” said Pelosi of House Speaker Paul Ryan at a joint press conference on Thursday.
“It’s one yard high,” Pelosi exclaimed – referring to the literal height of the legislation. “About half of it is the bill, a quarter of it is earmarks, and another quarter are report language.”
Matt Drudge, meanwhile, loved his site The Drudge Report‘s headline “Fake Veto” so much that he tweeted out a screenshot! “Fake Veto,” of course, is a mockery of Trump’s co-opted catch phrase “Fake News” following Trump’s earlier tweet pretending to be on the fence.
Other reactions around the twittersphere have echoed feelings of defeat:
There is NO WAY @realDonaldTrump shd sign this #Omnibus bill. It betrays his campaign pledges and mortgages the millennials’ future.
— Laura Ingraham (@IngrahamAngle) March 23, 2018
It might be my memory, or maybe I'm just getting hard of hearing, but I don't recall chants of "dramatically increase military funding" and "protect dreamers" at Trump's campaign events.
— Stefan Molyneux, MA (@StefanMolyneux) March 23, 2018
President Trump signs the monstrosity omnibus spending bill.
He says he didn't know what was in it.
What a horrible waste of OUR money funding Planned Parenthood, Sanctuary Cities, Obamacare, & Democratic pet interests.
— Liz Wheeler (@Liz_Wheeler) March 23, 2018
Translation; Trump got steamrolled and the base is furious.
Meanwhile, here are the 25 House Republicans who opposed the bill:

Why should I vote.
We had at least one good year from him, we wouldn’t have come even close to that with Hillary.
But his time is over now, best we can hope for is at least some of the hardcore Leftist agenda will be mitigated instead of moving ahead without restraint.
You’re fucking fired.

Just placing this here for purposes of posterity:
The inspector general’s report is never coming out! I have met a few people who did not vote and who have said “Trump is better than HRC and maybe I should have voted for him or will vote for him in the next election”. Very few but some. I HAVE NEVER met or heard of a Hillary voter who now supports Trump. I am one of and know a number of his base who will not support him or the GOP in the future. First,the gun grabbing talk and now the giving in to Schumer. The man has lost respect big time. He knows he is going down why not go down fighting. He is not some pauper depending on a small pension to keep the wolf from the door.
I became a troop 5 days after my 17th birthday and spent over 30 years but it sickens me to hear him rationalize that he did it for the military. Sounds like Kascek and Nancy ” it’s for the children”.
No I am not going to vote Democrat in Fl in November, I am not going to vote.
Swamp heads will roll before mid-terms.
I was a huge Trump supporter in a sea of leftist commie Angelenos … I wanted to believe so much in those words on the campaign trail. Perhaps, maybe….please God maybe… there was truth and honor and we would have a fighting chance without the blood. But I knew and feared that the election of that muslim f__ it was a downhill skid (even he didnt go for the guns and couldve with the full control).
Now, Those who are sitting by “trusting” and the remaining sheeple of the right (yes the right has them too) watching and cheering ‘Q’ and his distractions that have pacified the right to not hold the president accountable along the way as his actions have continuously betrayed his words [ I would also like to point out that if you follow the bulk of the Youtube commentary that follows Q, its women, the biological collectivists]. The rest of the right are the freedom loving/fighting independent thinkers, which is also why its so difficult to unite us. The divide has deepened now and regardless if somehow this IG report comes out, or the wall is built or any number of anything else we were “promised” happens, it has become clear that it is an (us vs them).
The 5G control grid still went through, the Cloud Act, the NDAA … HOW MANY SPY ACTS need to pass before we realize as a people we are ruled? Does anything done by Trump now matter? Does a wall? Cause they are still coming for the guns (see Omnibus). If one puts together the collection of articles from today and yesterday can you not put all this together? We have built our own prison and elected the people doing it, not only elected but call out to TRUST 4D CHESS … are you serious?!
The only thing of value from that FOURTH TURNING quote is to hunker down and batter down the hatches because it is about to turn and quickly this last half of 2018. Find your groups that you trust and find a place to make a stand because the last bits of freedom have been taken and we volunteered it.
The problem is, it is moving forward without restraint because of the fraud that is in the White House. More people would be up in arms and on the defensive if an Obama clone or Killary were in the presidency.
And you dont blame the repubs for even putting this before trump?
There was no alternative to Trump, Hillary would have destroyed the country. And there won’t be in the next election either…But if Trump doesn’t stop listening to his (((advisors))), he will be slaughtered like a chicken.
There was no alternative to Trump, Hillary would have destroyed the country. – Pyreous
We had to destroy the country in order to save it. – Trumpeteers
”Your vote doesn’t count and your opinion doesn’t matter, so sit down, shut up, and hand over your guns.”
So proud to be an American.
You must be a democrat operative? Laying down and licking your nuts it a good strategy . It’s won a lot of wars I hear. I’m puzzled why the stupid masses haven’t figured out that it was the repubs who forced this decision. They are the culprit. Paul Rino and Bitch McConnell and the repubs did this treachery. They planned their strategy months out. I guess republican party members are just as stupid as the dims.
You must be a democrat operative or plain stupid? You dont blame the repub party for putting this before trump? They planned this stratigy out with the dims for months. I guess laying down in a fetal position is a winning stratigy, for the opposition. Personally im going to the rino primary and take a piss in their punch bowl. I will vote against every incumbent.
The swamp appears to be an ocean– I’m done with this idiot. Live well, it’s the best we can do at this point.
Didn’t Trump say “we’re going to win so much you’ll be sick of winning”? I’m sick alright but it’s not from winning.
I seriously had a feeling of dis-ease last night. Campaign promises obliterated, attacks on 2A, FBI/DOJ, FED, sanctuary cities….All I see is madness here and abroad.
Somebody, throw me a bone and tell me the light I see at the end of the tunnel isn’t an oncoming train.
You’re seeing the death of a civilization, Western civilization, what used to be called “Christendom”, and the arising of a new one to take its place.
For most people, it will have already happened before they ever realize it was taking place.
But the new society won’t be a civilization…it will be a conglomeration of warring tribes…
Until one becomes dominant and subdues the others, that will be the case.
Keep an eye on the growth of Islam.
Good point..and unless I am mistaken, Trump’s travel ban was really just an extended waiting period…and now the restrictions have expired. The Muslim hordrs are again being imported.
That light at the end of the tunnel is the Golden Horde swarming out of the cities.
Prepared dirt people have night vision scopes, thus no need for visible light.
That horde is not golden.
What color are EBT Cards?
Red. Patriot blood red.
Hmmm…time coming soon to nourish the tree!
Here’s a bone for ya, Steve:
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/03/23/president-trump-reluctantly-signs-omnibus-maga-community-feels-a-little-less-great-today/comment-page-10/#comments
“There’s no escaping the reality that today’s Omnibus spending bill is a significant slap in the face to Trump voters and supporters. The $1.3 trillion UniParty spending scheme is a bitter rebuke from the legislative branch. A twitter comment outlines an understandable, albeit emotionally charged, reaction:
“You did have a choice. There’s always a choice. You betrayed us with what you did. We have fought for you. We have lost friends/family for you. We have become targets for you. Yes, you did have a choice. Fix this.”
Despite the valid and understandable reaction, ‘betrayal’ is harsh. From POTUS Trump perspective the lack of “choice” stems from a cornerstone that Making America Great Again is dependent on a strong U.S. military. Protecting Americans writ large is contingent upon ensuring our military is solid. Unfortunately, the only way to ensure the #1 objective was to acquiesce/concede to the blackmail of the UniParty in DC. – FUBAR.
~ “Leadership is often painful” ~
There ain’t a single part of this that seems ok, regardless of necessity. Worse still, is having to accept the republican side of the UniParty would enjoy nothing more than losing their majority position so they can go back to being comfortable enablers of the unholy DC alliance, and expel the annoying disruption known as President Trump.
Yes, this self-preserving UniParty approach is by design; it is a feature of the swamp – not an anomaly. Our only current solace is a historic reference; generally speaking when President Trump retreats from a fight, he tends to re-advance his force with greater severity. But on this singular day, if there’s a larger push-back yet to unfold, the commander-in-chief is conceding to the opposition a great deal of valuable ground.
FUBAR….. Cue the Wolfmoon:
Again, Wolfmoon’s explainer more true today than it was a year ago:
“Well, I don’t really have to do any holding together, now that I figured out what Trump is up to. He is shaking things out, but counting on Trump gravity to pull things back together as he moves along.
He is moving “forward” at speeds Obama could not even dream of.
You and I will be anti-Trump trolls one day and MAGA heroes the next. Get used to it. Trump speed is the new normal. Some will call it flip-flopping, but that’s not what it is. Trump is dodging and weaving through reality faster than the reality can react to disrupt his plans.
I was explaining this to my wife. This is a roller-coaster now. Trump is no longer waiting for people to keep up. He is taking his bewildering art-of-the-deal campaign schtick into geopolitics, and for a lot of people who can’t keep up or hold on, it will be a rough ride.
Trump is no longer playing only with evil and cunning players who are still predictable, easily beatable dopes, like Hillary. He is playing against killers, with his own team of killers, and all the while he has scheming creeps like Hillary, BGI, SPLC, and the neocons gunning for him. Snake Ryan ready to bite when nobody is looking. “Warhead” McCain screaming for Russian blood. Psycho Kim and Samoa Obama plotting some kind of intrigue to take him down. And THOSE are the lightweights.
This is the majors now. Trump has to outwit world-class adversaries and “frenemies” by defining the deals that they will agree to. One minute they will think Trump is their friend – the next minute, a cunning, bitter foe.
And he has to do this with evil cheerleaders like Warhead, Linderace, Dipsy Dowd, Maggie Haterman, and Fake Yapper trashing him or praising him alternately, no matter which way he goes. They can’t keep up, either.
Neither can many around him. I think that half of the problem with advisers crashing into each other is they don’t realize what Trump is doing.
And people will trash you, and they will trash me. Get used to it. I’ve already caught plenty of people mocking me. Well, just wait a week in Trump time. Look stupid and conned by Trump one minute, and you look like a sage three days later.
Trump will not find perfect solutions. He will find OPTIMAL solutions. We cannot ask for more. Trump has stood by and watched Perfect murder Good for 8 years – maybe longer. He’s not gonna do it. He’s going to deliver the best outcome possible, and he’s not waiting for us to feel relaxed about it.
Best presidency ever! Just hang on. More winning is coming, but a lot of people are going to scream that it’s all over at EVERY turn.
The best way through this is to define viewpoints, not people, because people will shift as they change position and velocity in Trump gravity. Bash the neocon, warmonger, and dopey globalist positions – not the people who are going to hold them one moment and come loose from them later.
Trump is Jupiter moving through the asteroid belt. He is going to pull people into his orbit. A few will get slung off into space, but most will come along for the ride of their lives.
I am ON the Trump Train for good, even if I scream that I want off and can’t take it.”
Complete drivel.
I have to disagree with you on this. Trump took on all the establishments and waged political war with them largely on his own dime. He has already done more than any of us cracker barrell philosophers and keyboard commandoes have ever done by orders of magnitude. I can see what RS is getting at and must also repeat the unhappy truth that no one gets everything they want in a functioning republic.
To paraphrase Margaret Thatcher confronting GHW Bush, “don’t go wobbly on me now Admin.”
Never was a Trumpeteer. I’ve remained relatively silent over the first year, observing what he does versus what he says. He’s done very little in my estimation. He has fulfilled none of his major platform agenda items. He has set economic collapse in motion with his immense spending increases and tax cuts for corps. He hasn’t disengaged us from conflicts we shouldn’t be involved in. I judge a man by his actions and his are wanting. Don’t give me that wobbly bullshit. I don’t follow anyone. I assess the facts and think for myself. I suggest you stop worshipping and start thinking.
It will never be less than a long drawn out incredibly frustrating journey. Perhaps unrealistic regarding timelines would be more appropriate than “wobbly?”
Regardless, neither of us are the type that sit around and wait for shit to overtake us. Where do we go from here?
Trump has all but guaranteed the House going back to the Dems in November. Then all out war begins domestically. Impeachment is a strong possibility. What do leaders do when faced with a domestic crisis? They start a foreign war. Once that war begins, unintended consequences mount until a worldwide conflagration starts. All bets are off then.
We all need to mentally, physically, financially and morally prepare for the worst case scenario and figure out what to do when the time comes. Winter will end. Who will rule the Spring is the question.
That was just a REALLY long winded way of saying “Don’t worry guys, he’s just playing 5D chess. He’s like 5 moves ahead of all of us” that we’ve been hearing since he started going back on his promises.
I agree, he is finished after this. Unless the left figures out a way to reanimate the corpse of Karl Marx and run him, I don’t see how he can come back from this. For me, its not just the spending bill. At the same time he is pleasing the left with the spending bill, he is giving them their ‘ban bump stocks’ wish as well. And lets not forget he now has john bolton as his NSA, because thats what his base wanted – invade more countries. Start another unwinnable war or three and put them all on the national credit card. At this point I have to wonder – does he even want to be president? Does he want another term? It sure doesn’t look like it. I also notice I haven’t seen any more Qanon BS posted here in a while, is that finally revealed to be BS too?
Agree with Admin completely! Principles matter and Trump has no principles.
Ride of their lives?
If you count getting hit by an asteroid, maybe, but not many that are will survive.
Holy shit RS! Now you’ve made it so clear to me. I’ll go ahead and stop believing my lying eyes and ears!
You are the very definition of a slack-jawed yokel who will latch on to any BS spewing demagogue that promises you shit that you know, somewhere in the deep recesses of what passes for your brain, will never be kept. You fell for it dumbass, and you’re still bellying up to the bar or more. I know facing reality is hard, but try giving it a shot. Oh…and you’re drooling a little bit. Might want o wipe your mouth.
No worries, xrugger. Trust the plan!
https://vimeo.com/261435051
All Trump had to do was veto the bill. If he had he might have been able to save mid-terms and kept his base intact. Instead he abandoned them for a Hall Pass from the Democrats.
He has lost everyone and everything. And what does he have left…. well some LARP named Qanon, a game of 14D chess and a bunch of whores doing press conferences, sluts doing interviews and cunts writing tell-alls.
Let him burn

Oh the humanity!
RS….this guy in the vid is a doofus; he is calling out Putin/Russia for their ‘bad behavior’ in Syria.
What country has assets illegally in Syria, under international law.
What country hasn’t been invited to Syria to help defend their country?
Tuff question, eh.
RS.
Stop already. How can we ever take you serious again after this .
@flea,
Don’t care if you take me seriously but the overwhelming quitter’s attitude here is over the top. Lighten up. It’s not the end of the world. Go out and get some sunshine, have a drink or two, and enjoy life a bit. All politics all the time will ruin you.
Trump isn’t going to win every battle, but he will win the war.
Are you a blithering idiot or just pretending to be one.
Maybe he’s doing his best T4C imitation.
RS, make no mistake, I thank my stars that Felonia had her election dingy capsize. And what Trump is up against is astonishing. Beyond Trump and his duplicity here in the US there is a concomitant global madness that to me, has no parallel in history. History has been about govt/peoples expansion of land and resources; a self serving interest, usually brutal but basically logical. Today, western governments are intent on destroying themselves in the process as well which is unprecedented-thanks “Mr. Global”.
I’ve always considered myself an optimist however, I’m going whole hog in a long term self-preservation mode for me and my family because I see Black Swans at every turn, everywhere, globally. Madness, fucking madness.
More proof that some people like to get fucked in the ass.
Keep sniffing the airplane glue, Malloy! (You don’t deserve to use initials -rs- here, that privilege is reserved for smart people, which you are not.)
To RS…………..BS
“I am ON the Trump Train for good, even if I scream that I want off and can’t take it.”
Yeah tRump is gonna put a train on your ass.
Get a grip on yourself man. Sober up. smell the coffee.
For what you are saying to be true, Trump would know the reaction he is getting from signing the bill. How is this reaction helpful to his game?
So many people now are looking up at the sign that says to them, “Abandon all hope, you dopes, you’ve been duped.”
And yet you see a sign that says, “Do not abandon all hope for the last laugh is yet to be heard.”
“Oops, there goes another rubber tree plant” — that’s what we can expect?
The peeple on that site are box people.
So, the savior of the realm has definitively shown himself to be just one more turd in the shit show called American governance. I am stunned…stunned I tell you to find gambling going on in this casino!
Oh me, oh my, however was Trump going to find a way to sign such a suppurating pustule of a spending bill while clutching his pearls in phony outrage. Thank God he found a way to get it done and fer sure I believe him when he says he’ll never do it again
I’ve been on the fence about this guy to one degree or another since I didn’t vote way back in 2016. With the stroke of a pen, he’s finally convinced me that Donald J. Trump is all hat and no cattle. He may have been the only option other than electing the screeching termagant, but that ain’t saying much.
Justify and explain away this little debacle all you slobbering, MAGA hat wearing maroons out there, and please come up with something better than, “Well, at least muh military is fully funded…hyuk…hyuk!” Don’t do that. It just makes you look stupid.
Ya, as the Stefan M quote above illustrates, that wasn’t at all what his base was concerned about. One of the things that propelled him to the top was his willingness to call Iraq a disaster. If he is so concerned about the military being worn out and needing to be rebuilt, he could start bringing people home from all these trashcanistan’s around the world and use the money saved there to rebuild. Also much easier to rebuild if its not being wastefully expended all across the world. I don’t want an increase in military spending. I want it cut, and overseas bases closed down.
Which brings me to another broken promise – run this like a business. If you have a group of people that can’t create a strong military while spending as much as the rest of the world combined on “defense”, you don’t give that same group of people more money, you fire them for failing miserably at their jobs. In what business world will you see that kind of failure be rewarded with a bigger budget?
lol at the ‘faux outrage’. You guys forget it’s an omnibus bill which is basically bs. He can spend the money any way that he wants. Just like Obami did for 8 years. Say hi to your wall!
Wake up sheeple. Use your brains. Too funny.
The stupid, it burns bright amongst the brain dead Trumpeteers.
It burns, all right. Trump could order the Army Corps of Engineers to build the wall tomorrow, which is not subject to judicial review, and he could indeed shift funds around. Unfortunately, he won’t do it…
I’ve heard all of this in several places in the last couple days. Thats why obama did it, so he could spend the money however he wanted. But did he? I feel like I’d have heard about it if he had. People would have been screaming bloody murder. There are a handful of at least semi honest republicans in govt that would have been hammering him on this if that was the case. You think Ron Paul wouldn’t have said something? I don’t. I think that entire line of reasoning is bullshit, and its the last gasp of the trump true believers.
He can spend the money any way he wants?
Not gonna happen, he already surrendered to the left with this and they won’t allow it.
You aren’t suggesting that Hillary was an option, are you? That would be world record stupid…
When did I fucking suggest Hillary would be better? Hillary is not the president. This motherfucker promised to do a lot of good things during the campaign. He has fulfilled very few. Trumpeteers only response to his vile deeds is “AT LEAST HE ISN’T HILLARY”. Pretty weak. Almost as weak as Obama blaming Bush for all the bad shit in his first two years.
2 years? Obama blamed Bush the entire 8 fucking years of his rule! Damn people’s memories are short.
Having said that, Trump fucked the pooch big time. The wife and I are reading Atlas Shrugged again… interesting timing. There is no doubt in my mind that the light at the end of the tunnel was nothing more than the flame from the final remnants of our Constitution being burned.
We’ll be the first ones they come after, have no doubt in your mind about that. The 2nd Amendment is dead, and that means that the entire Constitution is dead. America is dead. No going back.
” That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness… it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
Thomas Jefferson
May be our only hope. But what a job to throw this bitch off!
Y’all just ain’t looking on the bright side: Yes, we’re going down – probably sooner, rather than later – BUT, there will only be us white, Christian, hetero, honest, property-respecting deplorables in the camps. It’ll be the quietest, most peaceful, most cooperative place on the planet. AND, maybe the all the minorities on the other side of the wall will have to foot our room and board for once. I don’t hold my breath on that last one, but it’ll be bliss until they run us and them out of resources.
Admin. I am also REALLY PISSED TOO. To all of you great readers. Don’t boycott the election. Get the hell out and PRIMARY THESE ASSHOLES. Ryan and the rest if the House traitors, McConnell and other Senate Snakes when the opportunity arises. The want us to stay home so the Democrats take control and the can ride shotgun and avoid blame. VOTE IN THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES! THAT’S WHEN YOUR VOTE COUNTS!!
Wow Jay! Is it possible you are, hands down, the dumbest person in the country because that is one profoundly dopey statement.
Please stop with this meme. Its not true and a ridiculous fantasy.
Remember to breathe while you wait for it to happen.
“He can spend the money any way that he wants.”
Who in the flying f(@k told you that?
Oh, … nevermind, … I know: your illustrious prophet of “patriotism”.
Carry on with your delusions.
I was prepared to cut Trump a lot of slack because of the challenges of implementing policies with a Congress and agencies of government controlled by the Deep State. However, with his failure to veto the budget and his march towards war with Russia, China and Iran, it is clear that he is either a fraud or a sellout, either way he does not deserve our support. Slogans such as “Trust Me” during the campaign now ring hollow; just chalk up being suckered one more time. Trump will go down in history as the “Great Betrayer” of the American people who has destroyed any trust left in the US government. The inescapable truth is that there will be no reform through the ballot box because the US is not a republic nor a democracy but Satanic Zionist-controlled Evil Empire. America is on the road to revolution assuming it is not completely destroyed in a nuclear war.
Ahem, :puts on tin foil hat:, there will be no revolution once the AI 5g control grid is in place, which Trump wants done yesterday.
There may be something to health effects of 5G; but, if you like, take a listen to this guy’s take on 5G and why it might pose a problem going forward, separate and apart from health & tin-foil-hat-type issues:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SC7j-L5ABM
Neither a fraud of a sellout, I think.
Just another conquest of the Left that has been taken into their outer ranks.
Anon, you have not been attending the meetings. We had an excellent speaker too, Trump. Lucky for you, I took notes:
1. My name is Anonymous and I am a liar
2. I seek to stop lying (but not cheating with hot women).
3. Please forgive me, I will never sign another bill like this one again.
“Congratulations @realDonaldTrump on virtually guaranteeing losing the House in 2018, alienating 70% of your supporters, getting stuffed in a locker by the Democrats, and exploding an already unsustainable national debt.”
Jesse Kelly
I wonder how many of the Trump supporters are left that will actually and actively his impeachment when the Dems retake Congress, an impeachment they absolutely say they are going to pursue when they do?
I’ll be interested in seeing his next approval polls, they’ve been slowly creeping up little by little, but if they start going the other way now I think that may be a good indicator of what the answer to my question is.
FWIW, Trump may think this will win him the support of the Leftists, but I doubt any of them will move even slightly toward his side.

The problem with adhering to Plato’s viewpoint is a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of government and the political system that operates inside it. The plain truth about human nature is, the vast majority of people want a sure thing, a rigged game. It’s probably an evolutionary thing related to survival. And there is no greater rigger of the game than government. So the most avaricious, immoral, evil types among us flock to and cluster around the system. Perhaps many well-meaning people have been corrupted by their involvement with government, it’s difficult to ascertain one’s intentions. But it’s impossible to deny that at its base, government is merely a system of privilege, patronage and power by which the productive efforts of society are transferred or altered or absconded with by those rigging a giant game. Change it by voting or participation in it? Seriously?
Excellent post! In human history those questions not decided by rational thinking are decided by blood. To believe that greedy idiots are engaged in three dimensional chess is perhaps the ultimate delusion.
I regret that I am not programed to participate in this drunken orgy of excess as I will likely be one of the first to perish when the tab is finally settled. I believe our only consolation is that the chains that bind us and the rounds that kill us will be MADE IN THE USA.
One of the penalties for PARTICIPATING in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.
Another is that you end up being governed by those who do not have your best interests in mind.
Another is that you end up being governed by those who tell you what you want to hear, while having no intention of doing what you want them to do.
There is so much to hate about this decision I don’t know where to start. Trump should have pulled out his veto pen like Reagan or shut the gov down. That press conference showed him uneasy, with a thousand yard stare. Worst presser ever, he looked like someone told him some really bad news.
Instead Trump let those shitweazels Ryan/Mitch/Pelosi etc roll him.
Good bye midterms! Hello Impeachment!
Or maybe Trump saw the dire state of our military under Obamalamadingdong and knows about some serious threats on the horizon (China, Iran) and realizes how vulnerable we are. Not to mention the stock market that dropped this week.
So take your pick:
1) The swamp destroys what is left of our country – hello serfdom.
2) War, either on our soil or abroad, mebbe local nuclear exchange on Korean peninsula or Middle East.
3) Economic collapse.
What a trifecta!

So ducking sick of this “dire state of the military” trope. You do know that we spend more than the next six countries combined?
Fuck Trump. What a fucking idiot.
I can sell you a wall real cheap, Iska
Thanks, EC, but I’m saving my money for Spanish classes.
Prediction: Mid-Term voting by Republicans and Independents will be down sharply and will be reflected by loss of many Rep seats in CONgress.
I’ll be voting, but to voting third party.
Before Trump, that’s all I’ve voted since ’86 and will resume the practice now.
But FWIW. I’m not a registered Republican so I doubt it will be noticed by them.
He signed in favor of military spending, that plus Bolton means we are going to war, which means it is your patriotic duty to vote for the war president.
You Vill Vote Republican, or else!
Anonymous.
Speaking of 3rd parties, “they” used to tell me I was throwing away my vote by doing that. I guess I’m vindicated.
So the self proclaimed ‘king of debt’ signs off on more debt. Color me surprised.
For the few remaining Trumpeteers who believe in the con man, turn to page 62 of the ‘The Art of the Schlemiel’. The chapter titled ‘You fucked up, you trusted me’.
The Don of Orange was the ABH (anyone but Hitlery) candidate, nothing more.
Exposed and soon to be deposed with looney tune Pence waiting in the wings.
Be afraid, very afraid.
How many people are ready for a balanced budget? I should say the PAIN of a balanced budget? How many jobs in this country depend on government spending? How many of the largest corporations which employ millions of professionals depend on government spending?
I think President Trump had no choice but to sign the budget bill. This country is on the road to a train wreck and all that happened with this budget is that the train wreck has been delayed.
As we all know when we build up so much debt living on credit there comes a time when we have to pay back meaning austerity in our lives or filing bankruptcy; either way we suffer a lower standard of living.
Government is in our lives in a big way economically. The military industrial complex supports the professional class employment both directly and indirectly. Trickle down from the professional class goes to the working class. This is our reality.
When we balance the budget it means government will have to shrink in size on all levels. Ponder what that will mean for government services, employment and entitlements?
We are past the point of no return to stability of the economy without government money to keep the wheels of the status quo oiled.
We have screwed ourselves by letting government control everything. Most people cannot comprehend this situation. Money is no longer real but a fiction of electronic credits and debits that keeps our economic structure functioning. And as this structure grows; which it is always doing because people keep wanting more from the government, then more electronic credits are needed.
In this reality balanced budgets are impossible. Don’t you think President Trump knows this? He sure does along with the Congress. We are in a cycle that no one can control.
Consider this: An act of Will starts an activity but it cannot control it. When the congress decided to throw out the idea of a balanced budget years ago and spend beyond their means they started an activity that went out of control. They cannot stop this action without political suicide and the destruction of the false economy they created.
We all have to someday come to terms with this. But for now as long as the practice continues the pain will be deferred. But this practice will come to a very painful end.
People are going to suffer. I can hear the weeping & wailing and the gnashing of teeth now. The ride is almost over.
Thunderbird, there is so.much you say that I agree with. But, DJT had a choice. The deep staters are the most rabid supporters of the constant use of, and spending money on, the military. Plus, the big money in MIC doesn’t go to the troops, it goes to the five counties surrounding Washington DC.
DJT, stand up for your people, offer to back out of Afganistan, Iraq and Syria if we can’t afford to fund the military. Damn few grunts will complain, but we do know that the deep staters will work day and night to raise the money.
Here is the problem with that way of thinking though; IF it is not stopped by a strong leader, it will stop by shear force of the mathematics. That is the reality. This continuing “kick the can” policy of all of the western governments since 2009 is ruinous, and IS going to result in a lot more pain.
Either it stops because a strong leader finds his nut sack and says “NO FUCKING MORE” or the natural laws of mathematics kick in and FORCE the change.
Trump COULD have handled this by calling the press conference, and REFUSING TO SIGN THIS MORTGAGE ON OUR FUTURE, then proceeded to EXPLAIN to the American people WHY and explain that he is NOT mortgaging our future on more bullshit. Then he could have highlighted some of the ridiculous spending in this “BILL” (what an appropriate name BTW). The THINKING person would have gotten it, his BASE would have understood, he even, maybe would have brought around some of the higher IQ democrats if explained properly.
Instead he took the cowards way, and just signed it so he did not get in trouble. Trump was elected because a majority of the population of this country wanted a STRONG LEADER, and STATESMAN, NOT another spineless – go along to get along politician lackey that just does not want to make anyone angry. He was specifically elected to PISS OFF EVERYONE, that was his MANDATE. VERY DISAPPOINTED / rant over
Right on target, Mad as Hell !!!!
Thunderbird,
Good post. I only hope there are positive interconnected moves coming soon that will overshadow the pain of this bewildering cave in and lost opportunity to raise a banner of defiance otherwise Trump is doomed – Mad as Hell also presents sound counter tactics Trump could have taken.
This lack of true grit by Trump feeds the Brandon Smith school of thought:

I’m hoping the X-22 school is correct:

But, either way I feel like I’m back in West Texas watching a massive storm rolling towards me…time is short, have to tie everything thing down, get my home ready and see to what I can control…my preps.
Knowing we ( Trump supporters ) have been Betrayed just sucks .I had faith in Trump but it’s gone now. There will be no wall , no stopping legal or illegal immigration .Our nation ,our Civilization will be consumed with aliens from Third World shit holes . There we be no stopping the Leftist Progressives now except through violence or Civil War. I’m glad I knew and was part of Traditional America but it’s forever gone and I’m afraid for our future.
Please, see my post below. I do believe all is not lost!
There will also be further gun control regulations, and an increasing loss of your 2A rights til what remains becomes meaningless.
The “student march” against guns will be a flop. There are damn few students but all the usual rent a mobbers and pink hat shitheads led by the absolutely repulsive Hogg kid. Planned Parenthood participating wipes out huge amounts of potential support all by itself. Black Lives Matters is joining up too and carrying disarm the police signs.
It has become just another overhyped Bloomberg/Soros anti-America shitfest.
Who’s paying for these “spontaneous” rallies?
There is a long list of the usual suspects. All of the various Bloomberg entities, Planned Parenthood, whatever org that sponsored the Pink Hatters last year and many others. The bankrupt city of Baltimore is spending tax Dollars to send “students” to DC. I imagine many other public bodies are embezzling from slush funds to send people as well.
If you knew what “the wall” was really for, you wouldn`t be quite so unhappy if
it doesn`t get built
Damned straight!
Since there is no chance of a Civil War, nothing is going to stop the Left.
THIS US NOT A BUDGET!! This is an Omnibus spending bill! Huge difference! Trump can spend it on what he wants. Slowroll or move money around. Obungle had Omnibus bills for 8 years & spent the money where & when he wanted to. Trump can now do the same thing. I’ll bet the wall construction will be accelerated. The money for Sanctuary cities will be real slow in coming. Planned Parenthood may never get theirs, etc. I, too, was PISSED when I read Trump signed it. Then wiser people than I explained it to me. Makes sense.
The money will be spent. It is always spent. Trump doesn’t do the spending. The massive bureaucracy does the spending. Show me one example when the money hasn’t been spent. Wiser men are feeding you bullshit. Do you really think Trump knows what is being spent and by whom. How naive can you people be about how the real world works.
Yes it will be spent. As Trump, like Obungle, spends it. A “budget” tells where it MUST be spent. Omnibus spending bills do not. Obungle set the example.
You can call me naive or whatever, but I’ve watched this crap for most of my 70 yrs. Maybe you’re right. Maybe I am. Wait & see.
Trump does not spend it. The faceless agencies spend it. You really think Trump is deciding how to spend $1.3 trillion when he didn’t even know what was in the bill? REALLY?????
You really think he is going to build the wall with funds in this bill? REALLY?????
Open your eyes. Trump is now part of the problem. He isn’t the savior you prayed for.
No one knows what’s in the bill outside of the part of it they wrote themselves.
Like Obamacare, we will now be finding out for several years.
Huge increase for the military. Aren’t they in the business of national security? Wouldn’t a wall fall into that category? Wouldn’t Corps of Engineers money fall under that heading?
My Savior walked this earth a long time ago. He’s the only man that “saved” me.
Huge increase in the military industrial complex. That money is going to the Defense contractors. They are in the business of perpetual war to enrich themselves. Our military spending is already equal to the next seven world powers combined. We are under no threat of attack, despite the propaganda spewed every day by the MSM. The Defense Dept wastes more money than other countries spend in an entire year. Your wall will not be built using those funds.
I find it hysterical when people like you reference your savior and don’t see the irony of your love of military spending versus his Sermon on the Mount. You need to remove the beam from your eye.
Admin you are doing great work trying to wake some of these pathetic fools up.
I do my best.
Watching the news? It would appear I’m real close to right. Trump can spend it where he wants to spend it. Who loves military spending? I’d much rather see that money in my pocket. Or doing good for people. I served this country ’67-’71. I owe you no explanation. Or anything else. I hear crow is good this time of year.
The bill prohibits Trump from using money from this bill to build the wall. We got a stinkin fence.
St.benhad. “They” inserted language forbidding him from “misapropiating funds to build a wall. It’s one of the first things to be reported before he signed it.
There’s a simple way to find out, StBernardnot. How was the last giant omnibus porkulus stimulator (he signed that one too) spent by the Trump administration? Let’s see: Obamacare’s funding continued, along with that for Sanctuary cities, Israel (mostest important of all according to the Gospel of Judeo-Christ, Book of Scofield, Chapter VI:66), rapefugee resettlement (e.g. human trafficking), etc., etc., etc.
Now we can add gun control and other poisons to the latest brew of Rev. Jones’ grape-drank from the Trumpenhaus brewery. Oh, and let’s not forget: War with Russia! Trump white-knightin’ for cat-lady Teresa May.
Are you actually claiming that you thought up this “he can spend it any way he wants, just like Obama did” based on your own thoughts and experience?
Then why do you word it exactly as you read it somewhere else?
Neither Trump nor Obama get to spend the money “any way they want”. An omnibus bill is simply a conglomeration of individual APPROPRIATIONS bills. A consolidation so that all of the individual bills can be passed with one single vote, rather than tens or hundreds of separate votes. The individual APPROPRIATIONS are still established by Congress within the “omnibus” bill.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consolidated_Appropriations_Act,_2018
What you, and many, many, many, many others claim is JUST NOT SO.
That is not, by law — including the U.S. Constitution , how the federal government works.
You’ve made an extraordinary claim — totally without evidence — that Obama spent money for one purpose that had been appropriated for another purpose. That would be a crime.
You believe what suits you, and repeat it as incontrovertible fact. What you say is not only UNTRUE, it didn’t even originate out of your own head (i.e., from your own knowledge). You are repeating b.s. that you’d prefer were true, and doing it VERBATIM!
Moreover, the problem with this bill is not with how it is spent. It is the fact that it authorizes $1,300,000,000,000 of spending — IN TOTO!
f-ing Qtards …
last post, … you’re lost
So why hasn’t he started before now?
St. Bernie. You just proved 7 billion people are wiser than you.
And you have contributed nothing to the conversation. I said “I may be wrong”. You just proved you’re on of the “below average” George Carlin talked about.
And you have Sainte! You seem afflicted with big thoughts from a small mind.
I was pissed about Trump signing the “Omnibus bill. If he ” tricks” Ryan, McConnell, Shitmer and Pelosi, I will drive to your house and kiss your ass, and give you 24 hours to draw a crowd. THAT my friend is some pretty hard shit to believe, especially when there’s language in that bill prohibiting Trump from spending money on”THE WALL”.
Read my lips, I’m going to build a Wall to secure our border. He thinks he can fool US like the bimbos he says he loves, then screws and dumps. Where’s the Wall? You’re fired! PS: If your military needs the money to start a war in Syria with Russia over Assad for Israel, your ass will not just be fired, it will be reamed and hung upside down.
From your lips to God’s ear.
Maybe I am just more cynical, maybe because I have seen the machinations of the Deep State up close and personal. The logic here should be pretty easy if you are remotely objective. Trump won a stunning victory on the backs of the Deplorables and Tea Party….he did great his first year on TPP, pulling out of the climate change treaty, taxes, bringing back companies, cutting regulations etc. So far so good and it was even looking like the Mueller led witch hunt was winding down. Alas all that has now changed. We won’t know what happened for a while if ever…but when a Presidency goes 180 in a shameful and completely inexplicable way…..there must be a logical reason. Mueller got his man.
Forcing Trump to publicly betray his campaign promises and publicly support the Dem priorities is the best evidence. Game over. Ritual Seppuku would not have been more obvious. Trump gutted himself on the international stage…..the very thin “I had to sign for the Defense spending” makes no sense. Are we to believe the “great negotiator” could do no better? Are we to believe Trump was a fraud, a stealth Dem this whole time? No and errr NO! Actions my friends….he was gutting the globalists in significant ways, showing his effectiveness and that he is not a fraud. Negotiations are always about leverage….Why did Trump lose all leverage……Mueller!
Now just look at the timing…..Bolton the chickenhawk (though I fail to understand the distinction between him and HR) is there to lay the groundwork for a coalition of the willing (Globalist vassals) to attack Russia. So double down on the Red Pills boys and girls. We need to accept that the Trump era is over and start thinking ahead. Tom Fitton from Judicial Watch for Senate! Though truth be told, I suspect the time for the ballot box has now passed.
Good one and I like the Mueller thinking.
Hammer, hmmm…I hadn’t thought about the possibility you raise…if true it will show itself it many, many other ways and will become obvious quickly.
If true we are screwed, blued and NWO tattooed.
The stick-up men in this heist were Ryan and McConnell, make no mistake. Trump was more or less the get-away driver. While this doesn’t excuse his role in the crime, perhaps it’s time we ask ourselves why we keep putting money in a bank that is perpetually robbed?
Each day more citizens wake up to the stark realization the ballot box is an utter waste of time. – at least to those who believe in personal and economic liberty. The system is far too diseased and corrupt to be saved. Yet as long as the fiscal house of cards they have built to enrich themselves holds together, the “cartridge box” is a long way off.
An alternative – ambitious and risky as it may be – the formation of a new type of organization which uses economic “warfare” to combat the individuals and institutions (private and public) through economic boycott. 10 million members alone could wield substantial weight to such efforts and at $100/year = $1B to lobby and leverage in the defense of personal and economic liberty.
Perhaps nothing more than Saturday morning musing but…
OK the “what” is fine but the “why” is going to be helpful to figure what to do going forward. Of course Ryan and McConnell are deep staters to the core….we knew that, the brazenness of the Omnibus is indicative of the “why”. But for some massive sea change these cretins would have been content with sneaking in some pork, giving DJT more and calling it business as usual. That is definitively NOT what happened. What happened is that spending money we simply have zero chance of repaying was spent and spent on Democratic priorities and NOTHING that Trump was elected to do. E.g. Veterans Choice the obvious reform for the VA removed. Please offer an explanation other than 16D Chess and Defense….neither is remotely believable.
Two things stand out to me and leave me scratching my head:
1 . Trump is not a coward. He has the MOST courage and ability to withstand withering attacks from every direction simultaneously that I have ever seen. A man who has gotten this far would never have caved on something for which he had so much support, unless he was running out of time. Time for what?
2. Trump is not stupid or easily fooled or led. He would have known that signing this omnibus monstrosity would make him persona non grata with every member of his base. A man smart enough to have gotten this far must be using strategy. What’s the plan?
I don’t know, but because the important things to Trump in the bill are wall and military (and the wall ain’t there), I think he’s expecting to need the military in a big way, and soon.
Or maybe he’s just a fucking idiot.
And I think the Deep State is anticipating his next move and deliberately inserted as much odious pork in the bill as they could in a last ditch effort to force him to back down, so he couldn’t use the military against them if he used his veto.
This October statement he made has got to mean something.

That would be the X-22 school of thought…he is in a race to crash the system with Central banksters in an attempt to gain control of the narrative soon, expose them, pass the Audit the Fed bill and he needs the military as robust as possible as they are backing his play.
I do not know if that is true…but they have multiple tubes out stating that? T4C has posted many of them.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB1o7_gbFp2PLsamWxFenBg
Mark. After Dave at X22 used Jim Willy as a credible source several times I tuned him out.
Fleabaggs,
I meant it more as a school of thought then a single source. Same as with Brandon Smith.
One way or another we will know soon my brother!
Mark.
Ok, sorry. We will indeed be finding out soon.
Trump is not a coward. I will agree to that. What he underestimated was the length that the Deep State will go to in the retention of power.
He has kids and grandkids. He has a great wife and young son. I think he came to the conclusion that the target list is not just him and did what I assume most would do. What he was told to do.
Give me a break! He just NOW came to the conclusion that his kids and grandkids are at risk? Just now? I gotta call stupid on that.
Razor. Right you are and these kids of his are all married into the NY money changers families.
I’ve watched you, Fleabags, and you contribute nothing substantive to the discussion . . . just short, rude remarks to other people’s posts. If you aren’t hurling a lazy, unsubstantiated insult (like the one about Jim Willie), then it’s a canned and simplistic “because, Jews”. You’re stale.
Razor.
I was agreeing with you about his kids.
My comment on Willie is not unsubstantiated. I watched the videos back when I subscribed to him on you tube.
You haven’t been watching me very close then so you are the one hurling an unsubstantiated insult.
Looking at your posts I see lots of verbiage and little substantive content. Adding Links is meaningless as confirmation of your remarks. H
Your blind love of all things Trump does not raise your credibility here. This is a tough neighborhood. Did you see Admins short rude remarks to cool aide drinkers like you earlier in the day.
Finally! Wrote something more than a quick snipe.
Razor..
Like I said, you haven’t followed my posts or you would you wouldn’t make such a dumb statement. I’m using a cheap smartphone, not conducive to writing books in the reply section and unlike you I’m not in love with myself or the sound of my keystokes.
That would be my best case scenario (as ugly as war is)….at least Trump is still POTUS and not a puppet dancing to the Deep States strings. Leaving a chance for the TeaParty/Deplorables counter revolution to keep going and not go back to square one. Now…….those $1,000 hammers we have been buying for decades. We know that they are just $5 hammers in reality where did the remaining $995 go? Super cool high tech weapons we haven’t disclosed or strippers, blow and the MIC and we got nothing to counter the hypersonic missiles from Russia and China.
My problem with this line of thought is that if true, why wouldn’t Trump demand that all $1.3B be spent on the “missile gap”…..ala JFK. That would have been a huge winner instead he apologized for being weak and unable to accomplish anything but bankrupt the nation to get some defense money.
Maybe ya’all oughta watch this so you can chill out. Make sure you check out the tweets below the video. Can you see beyond your living room wall? Priorities.
-270,000,000 for Fees and Expenses of Witnesses
-Funding for War Crimes Tribunals
(gee, how could this relate to his latest executive orders)
And here’s your defunding of abortions:
SEC. 202. None of the funds appropriated by this
11 title shall be available to pay for an abortion, except where
12 the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus
13 were carried to term, or in the case of rape or incest: Pro-
14 vided, That should this prohibition be declared unconstitu-
15 tional by a court of competent jurisdiction, this section
16 shall be null and void.
He just made it illegal to fund abortions- he forced it into the hands of the courts to overturn. He appeased all those woman who throw medical risk, rape, and incest into your face as and excuse to have abortions. No more leverage available to them.
slight typo- He appeased all those woman who throw medical risk, rape, and incest into your face as an excuse to FUND ALL abortions.
Come on folks… have some FORTITUDE. You don’t surrender a war because you “lose” (as what many think this is) one battle. Look at what Trump has to work with for congressional support. How are we supposed to trust you as our backup if you’re going to bail because of one upset. You gonna whine, flail your hands, stomp your feet, and run away because you got some mud on your face? Is this how you fight a war??? Man up, you ninnies.
You know.
That isn’t how it plays out. They simply use other monies for abortion because we are now paying the overhead.
Further more, many of us here have been fighting the war for a long time and have the scars to prove it. 50 years in my case. You in all your wisdom decided you are the only one who knows how to fight the war when you are actually tilting windmills. Calling us Sissies for fighting it our way just confirms your vanity.
I can appreciate your scars. Sincerely. I don’t claim to have all knowing wisdom nor do I claim to be the only one who knows how to fight a war. And I also don’t claim to have all the answers. I don’t. What I don’t understand is how everyone thinks this is all Trump’s fault. Maybe it’s because, as a country, we are incapable of putting people who have morals in our government who will not succumb to big business and foreign influence.
Regarding using other funds, is that anything any president can stop? What more can he alone do?? All the blame is being put on Trump. He’s been given 1.25 years to turn around what’s been dumped on us for 100 years. How will any president succeed if we can’t support them through the thick and thin for more than a year? He can’t fix everything we want fixed without being the one thing no one wants- a dictator.
If fighting it your way means bailing on Trump (which is the only thing we’ve had going for us in a very long time), then exactly what is the strategy? Not trying to being facetious, just would like to know the plan. I’m on your side Fleabaggs.
Trust me- I’m earning my scars. I’m not an old fart yet, but I’m close. I’ve been a targeted individual since jumping in to the battle in 2012. I stuck my neck WAY OUT. It got me noticed. It earned me electronic harassment, interference with communications, real-time phone tapping, home invasions, theft, gas lighting.. it goes on and on. IT SUCKS. It’s enough to make you just want to pull the plug on all this shit and withdraw into the shadows.
You know what we need? We need a page where the answers can be posted. No bullshit.. Just the answers. Just the answers that will fix everything that is wrong in a period of 4 years. Does anyone out there have the plan?
You know.
I don’t think it’s a case of bailing on Trump as much as it is seeing him as a Trojan Horse.
As for the fight, we all see the war Theatre differently which I see as healthy. I took my fight underground after we were sold out by the “Republican Revolution” in the mid 90’s. On occasion I’ll write an article. I’m not online that often. I built up an informal underground railroad to move people and information etc. when things fall apart to name one. Teaching the art of making disposable slamfire shotguns and developing the mindset one will need to actually use it for another. You have to find your way and having my ideas and writings challenged is part of it. The best way for me to find out what I believe is to have to defend it.
You’d make a great neighbor.
I don’t know how we deal with the Trojan horse issue. Is there anyone that hasn’t been compromised? Perhaps considering the fact that Trump spent his own money to get positively freaking hammered to become president and then what he went through since winning and he’s still in there! Would anyone else have survived that? He came through clean. Consider the high profile arrests of mega billionaires that took place in Saudi Arabia… Trump played a role in that. Does that sound like something a Trojan horse would do? Not to mention he’s destroying the underpinnings of all this globalist crap. I don’t know… I think there are some key events that people are overlooking that are significant indicators to very positive changes in direction.
I see a lot of concern (putting it lightly) about adding 1.3T to the debt. This probably won’t be a popular statement, but you know what, we are already insolvent with the 20T problem. It can’t be fixed. There’s no recovery from the 20T. So, is it really that big of a deal to add 1.3T to it if it positions you to fight the battle that will need to be fought? The consequences of a 21.3T debt will be no different from the consequences of a 20T debt. There’s no question that we’ve got serious economic calamities barrelling down the tracks at us. The question is, do you attempt to resolve an economic calamity with a government that’s totally infiltrated by treasonous communist scumbags or do you do whatever you can to clean out the filth first and then address the economics?
You know.
You’re right about the 1.3 tril. That’s why I never bring it up. 20 tril. is not including 200+tril in derivatives that are impossible to track down and will implode when the music stops.
I think I got us off on the wrong foot. I see you are a serious thinker and not just a dumb blond Trump groupie. If we don’t stand for something we’ll fall for anything .
No problem whatsoever. Yes… the derivatives and the unfunded liabilities. Not good. So… we still need to prepare for bad times. I’m trying to decide how to preserve the savings. I’m getting towards the end of the career and I’m not sure where to put the future earnings. I’ve done the physical metals thing. But how much is too much? What do you do with the remaining?
Wow, that exchange made my head spin. I enjoyed it.
You know.
Maggie invested in a small farm in the Ozarks, Robert Gore a retired bond trader who posts articles here invested in PM’s and a home in New Mexico. I invested in people. We should all invest in God.
The only way Trump is going redeem himself (and I hope he does) is some serious counter-punching (actions not words) that build on their results that convinces those who are losing faith in him he still is the Great Orange MAGA Hope!
We are too jaded with betrayal and distrusting to settle for anything else.
That serious convincing interconnected action has to be well before the midterms to get the Deplorable base re-energized
FWIW the debt is already at $21T
this 1.3T bill will push that to 22+ by year end.
early 2017 I made a gentlemans bet that crash would happen by 1/1/18 … I lost the bet.
how much longer, tho?
who knows? but we can be certain the debt will get worse before ever getting diminished… which I kinda assume that’s a mathematical impossibility.
Alto-
you just witnessed two people having a difference of opinion, but NEED to trust each other and be on the same side of the fence.
Fleabaggs-
I’m debt free and on 65acres (60 of it woodland), 5 of which are field and about 1.25 of that is a growing orchard of 28 various fruit trees. They should start producing in 3-4 years. Got the coup. No livestock yet.
OK who s with me? Who is going to help me bitchslap and bully any trump supporter who shows their stupid ass on this blog. I can not look at his orange ass face/hair/monobrow anymore. I IS DONE. He is dead to me as is the repukiean party. START OVER FUCKERS
You are 100% wrong to take that view.
I am also bitterly disappointed.
Mid-term elections: I am now taking a wait-and-see approach to events from now until then. I am pending a not to vote, BUT I will decide on the next 7 months and further revelations on the signing of the O Bill.
Been with you Jimski since the bastard hired all the Godman Sucks people his first week in office.
“Those frozen in this pit herein
committed the most deadly sin
being traitor to one’s blood kin
or to one’s friends’ trust placed therein.
“To betray blood relatives or friends
as these did to such ugly ends
is the worst transgression Hell tends.
There is no way to make amends.
“There’s just eternal banishment
to here in Hell thence to confront
the horror and the punishment
that is deserved by such affront.”
– Sioux Warriors Never Cry
Trump has committed the greatest sin there is: betrayal. And not just here but in previous matters as well: supporting FISA renewal, failure to start building the wall (which Mexico was going to pay for, remember?), curbing out-of-control immigration, foreign war entanglements, and on and on.
I can agree with the democrats on one thing now: Trump should be forced to leave office in disgrace. If impeachment is the only way to accomplish that, then let impeachment proceedings begin.
A former Trump supporter
In case it’s not obvious by now, neither Democrats nor Republicans want total control of the government, because then there’s no excuses. No, they prefer a configuration where they can blame the other party for whatever does or does not get passed, while doing exactly what the deep state wants rather than what’s best for the citizens.
My pro gun leftist acquaintance said wait for it Trump is no different than the rest . He will talk win and fantastic and we will want to believe . Then the set up and the sting ! We all just got stung !
We should have known when he hired someone from Goldman Sachs that the jig was up !
Tell me what the funding was last year and then we’ll know. Can you do the research? Or just ask questions?
What do you make of it? I make nothing of it. What does Q say? What do the 4chans, 8chans and 16chans say?
Why are any of you surprised? Did the red-pill wear off? I suggest a re-reading of the Cog. post, and actually try to see what areas apply, personally and corporately. The worst deception possible is to allow self-deception. Trust me, someone somewhere is always going to see you better than you see yourself. I am no exception, but at least I’m aware of the reality of it.
All of this doesn’t change one FUCKING thing. The basics, the foundations, of the economy, here and globally, are exactly what they were and continue in the same direction. The proliferation of insanity around the world continues to expand at the same exponential pace. The same people hate each other and kill each other, the same users want to keep on usin’, the same sheep ignore every bit of evidence to the contrary of what they want to believe, this country continues its monumental dive-bomb into the abyss…
In the overall scheme of things, what does a few days, months or even years make? Nothing is ever completely linear, when we’re talking about any human endeavor. There’s always ups and downs; its the general trend that has to be recognized.
The end is the same, because an ant, even with its entire hill involved, can’t stop a landslide. And we are square in the path. I certainly hear the rumble, and I can feel the stir of the wind pushing ahead of the mountain falling on top of us.
The question is not if this whole circus ends, it’s HOW does it all end?
Trump To Expel “Dozens Of Russian Diplomats” In Response To Skripal Poisoning
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-03-24/trump-expel-dozens-russian-diplomats-response-skripal-poisoning
Trump’s betrayal seems limitless. Its like the betrayal that just keeps giving and giving. I had a gut instinct that this Day of Deceit would arrive but I hoped I was wrong. Why do I feel sick to my stomach? There are no heroes on a black steed who are going to Take Back America…we are going to have to do it ourselves or get used to living as slaves.
Beebs pretty well sums it up. Even if Trump was true to his promises , the USA is toast. Economic collapse per HSF is going to push this country into civil war.
I’m buying more 40 round magazines…
He is definitely draining the energy from his support swamp.
Tyranny’s puppet from Mirrorworld marching for genocide.

Bad actor…literally and figuratively.
It really sucks what we have allowed these politicians to do to our country. Debt doesn’t matter until it does. The next crisis is only months away at this point. (My opinion). All I can tell you is the commodities I purchase daily are all at record highs currently and the pressure in the market place is to drive the prices higher.
The prices will keep going up until they don’t anymore.
So save now, because the next recession is going to make the Great Depression and the Great Recession look like boom times. Don’t buy real estate today, but if you own any sell it.
The only end game I see is that Trump must think he can allow the gov’t to default just like he allowed some of his investments go into default. He may be right. And it will trickle down into every household. Hey, mister gubbermint Contractor here is $0.25 on the dollar of what I owe you. It will suck, but may be the only option if you are under contract.
My business mentor has a saying CUFOES. Cash Up Front Or Eat Shit. That very well be the way business is going to get done very shortly.

I disagree. The Dems won’t impeach for several reasons:
1. He’s the perfect foil. Dem fundraising, Dem TV program viewership all up bigly since the election.
2. He’s giving them everything they want
Why would they impeach when they are winning?
Trump is “just another bloviating politician who promises one thing and delivers a pile of shit to the American people.” Pretty much sums it up. Too bad, his opportunity for greatness is sitting in that pile of shit.
Had Al Gore won we would have had no Iraq war, but he would have been a lame one termer who led to a Republican in 2004, who again would have probably been a one termer. But it’s hard to imagine that this path would have produced worse people than the last 20 years. We need a time machine.
“CUFOES” true, cash will become king; I had to laugh because the Boston Yankee MSgt that trained me would have added “&DMF’ers” to the end of it. But I believe farmland with water will go to the moon and all Southern rural land below the “Armageddon Line” (essentially the Mason Dixon Line) will go up. Yankee lands will return to the Laurentide Ice Sheet and tundra, and won’t even be worth Confederate money; Yankee liberal ideologies won’t be worth a glass of ice tea in Yakutsk.
Trump is not Jewish. But, Amerika is Israhel’s bitch and if there was ever any doubt consider this. The Chosenite Tribe is mesmerized by the Kabbalah (superstitious numerology.) It matters not whether we believe. What’s important is THEY DO, so they arrange events to coincide with mystical numbers particularly the Holy number 7 and multiples thereof.
The Trump administration declared in 2017 that they would move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem on May 14, 2018. The year 2017 is in the (50th year) Jubilee, the year after the Shemita (7 X 7 = 49) years since the 6-Day War in 1967 when Israhel reclaimed Jerusalem. In Jubilee years, property is returned to its ‘rightful owners’ (Leviticus 25: 10.) Furthermore, May 14, 2018 is the 70th year to the day that Israhel was founded in 1948.
Do you believe this is coincidence? Do you believe Trump thought of this all by himself? Now you know who Trump is beholden to.
We are the company we keep. Look at who his friends were and who his kids are married to. New York Jew money changers to the last. He’s not a Jew but wiggers aren’t niggers either. Just wanna be’s. They are both well known for throwing their associates onto the third rail.
We knew he was a snake when we picked him up.
As a matter of fact, isn’t that his favorite poem.
Gerold, you sound so reasonable that I hate to make any objection to your observations.
Consider the Trojan Horse. Consider the fate of the feral pigs. Consider the salt lick near the tree blind. How do fishermen catch trout? And my favorite, consider telling your one-eyed captor your name is “Nobody.”
These things are strategies for winning. The minds of those wanting to undermine Trump see a man who appears to be a coyote trying to lead a wolf pack by yipping at the moon. The problem for this particular wolf pack, however, is that it has ravaged an easy prey for a very long time. It has become complacent and careless.
Look at the way the pack used the FISA court? They even emailed one another in vast numbers, in this time of universal snooping by the NSA, revealing their crimes thinking that HRC could never lose and so covering up one’s tracks was just silly and completely unnecessary. Now their footprints are visible and these wolves on top of the food chain these many years who have become soft and stupid can be tracked and shot.
The most delicious part of all this will be to watch the whimpering vassals of the pack in fear of prison turn on the alphas, who will then turn on their gods, the ones with the trillions of dollars available for confiscation for their corruption and human trafficking. That’ll be Trump’s method of balancing the books, after which his status in the world will allow him to sink the Left’s barges.
What will be left is the new world order, which will have us all saying once again as we once did to people trying to boss us around, “Hey, it’s a free country, ain’t it?” Or, “Hey, ain’t I free, white, and 21.”
Well, thank God this has finally made people see logic. All this Q/Trump worship had me thinking everyone was too far gone in fantasy to come around to common sense again.
Longtime lurker here.This really doesn’t bother me,what bothers me more is the john bolton hiring. Anyways,deficits don’t matter until they do. We have a debt based monetary system designed to fail and transform into something else.Based on our system,without debt we wouldn’t have money, period. So spend away, it is simply not possible to pay it back.
No one is going to read this far down on this post, so I can say anything.
You guys are all wrong. Trump is ending things that can’t be repaired. Any simpleton knows that the can that has been kicked countless time is so worn down it has nearly disappeared and now with this monstrous bill it probably has disappeared at long last. The End is nigh. Trump knows all, hears all, and will take the heat. I hope.
Yeah, yeah, I’m a dope for hope, yet don’t you see that the finances are impossible to reconcile at this point and what is impossible to continue must end. It must. Better sooner lest there be no recovery possible. And when the fall comes that all the king’s men cannot undo, won’t all these king’s men get the blame? They had been hoping they would be long gone when the end came, and yet here they are scurrying like rats after the cheese that has been poisoned. No more, said the golden raven. He comes knocking on your door. Time to die.
Give it a month more. What do you have to lose? Your sense of worth, your sense of having wisdom, your blessed feeling that your judgement is so superior in all things that to be fooled would be catastrophic to your self-image? Are you so proud of your skepticism that you can’t risk being wrong? What a fucking nightmare that you could make a mistake!
I am going to watch and see what happens next without my precious ego forcing me to shout and run in circles crying out to the gods that “I knew that bastard was a bastard!”
Footsie.
Your post reeks of arrogance and conceit.
Dear Flea,
What’s a dirty cockroach like you doing in a nice clean place like this?
All best,
bigfoot
I’ve been reading this website from the beginning. Thank you to all the regular posters, in one way way or an other, you are all American heros. I’ve never been compelled to comment until now. I was pushed here the day McCain suspended his campaign because of the financial crisis, then folded like a cheap shirt. The day Romney called out the 47%, but caved, another push. Now, Trump gets in bed with the swamp. I’m a big Trump supporter, but what now? Jim, I’d love some guidance.
Don’t worry. T4C says her 16chans and Q say everything is going according to plan. Us critical thinking blokes are too narrow minded and blinded by our hate for Trump to understand what is really going on. It’s part of a master plan by the Orange Savior that will be revealed in its own good time. No need to assess actual decisions by Trump. Just trust. Hope really is the best strategy. The Orange one will save the country and lead us to glory. All hail Trump.
TRUTH !!!!!!!!!
This is for T4C

Admin, I prefer “Orange Crush” to “Orange Savior.” Otherwise, you seem very much on point.
Bigfoot
I read your response and I’m with you. The hysteria may be unnecessary, but for now it seems the preferred mode of response.
I’ve read/listened to some analysis that has a more positive view of the Omnibus situation. Anyone curious can watch Dr. Jerome Corsi’s YouTube from today. Isaac Green at AntiSchool is also interesting.
Not much is black and white.
Thanx Gayle; I. Green info is darn good.
He was one of the YouTube victims. I’m glad he’s back.
I love Trump. He’s got absolutely EVERYONE pissed off. He must be doing something right.
Oh, Captain my Captain!

MAGA!!
Francis,
Looks like the Corp of Engineers got a bigger wad of money than usual. Probably for building a wall somewhere.
How would we all feel if that money earmarked for sanctuary cities, planned parenthood, etc. didn’t get spent? Evidently, the Omnibus Bill gives Trump discretionary powers. Obama worked it.
So Trump hoodwinked the Dems? No DACCA. How’s that going to play with the Hispanics at election time? And all those little scammy things the Dems put in the bill get put on hold while the military gets fully funded while Trump goes all around the world and in strength demands peace? How would that be? Lotta people around here will be eating crow perhaps. Happily though, because things will be looking up!
That’s the rumor but have you seen how fucking big that thing is? I don’t know what is in it any better than anyone here does. And even if he did fund them more than normal there’s still no guarantee he is going to build anything. Besides, the wall doesn’t solve problems that corrupt mayors, judges and law enforcement create.
I’m guessing but I think there is something in there he needs that is more important to him than how anyone here FEELS (or a wall). Interesting that Trump trolls the media and his Twitter followers about a veto, then signs the bill after promising to never sign another one. That point was emphasized for some reason.
The geopolitical landscape is being rearranged in front of us. I can see it happening here, north of the line, bit by bit. People forget that there is more going on in the world than just border walls and swamp draining. And the US is involved in a lot of it.
Anyways, I’m learning that when it comes to politics we only see what we WANT to see or what we are ALLOWED to see – a combination of the two is probably more accurate. It makes things difficult to navigate as a result.
He pissed off Admin, he must really be doing great!
Found a great bumper stick to add to the back of my ride.
Does your TRUMP sticker make you feel stupid yet?
Nice bumper sticker.

Cause’ this is what you’ll get if you lose the midterms. This little fucker’s boot – or someone like him – stepping on your face and pissing in your ear while he hums “Singing in the Rain” to amuse himself. Food for thought.
Shiieat !!
Fuck that young useful idiot in the pic above! Fuckin millennial snowflake!
And fuck your belief that the midterm elections will have ANY bearing on this sinking ship!
The perception managers have really done a number on the baby boomer generation!
Fuckers still think we live in a Republic, still think offshored jobs will ever come back, still think the Constitution runs the show and not the UCC admiralty system which has been used as an umbrella to enterwine maritime law into common law!
Scary thing is, Trumpeteers who do not question these things will be the ones wanting to round up us dissidents for pointing out the truths
What do you think should be done? Should we just sit at our keyboards bitching about how hopeless it all is?
Brothers and sister, letting the perfect be the enemy of the good may make you feel superior, but it is really a stupid strategy if you want things to improve. Mature adults fight for what they believe in and take the real world, in all its imperfections, into account. Practical people don’t get off on hopelessness.
I like the Clockwork Orange reference.
You all are a bunch of crybabies. Sheesh! Are you alpha males? What are you going to do about this besides whine?
PRAY! and buy more 40 round magazines…
Your wiles will not work with uh,
200, I win
Quit complaining!!!! Drudge is a libtart with his own priority. Anyone commenting here negatively on Trump and who still visits Drudge site is an idiot. Drudge helped wreck Moore, who would have been a no nonsense swamp drainer. As far as Coulter goes, she is going through menopause. What has she done to rip McConnell and Ryan a new ass lately.
Sorry to say it, but one man fighting the world cannot do it on his own. The snakeheads half to be cut off in the congress.
That includes first and foremost McConnell and Ryan, who are liberal democrats along with McCain, Graham, Scott, Flake, both Tennessee senators and.many, many more.
Start with Rona Romney as chair of GOP and her outfit of staffers. Then you fees different people in the system. However, Wisconsinites are to inherently stupid to understand what republican is supposed to stand for and Kentucky has too many toothless hillbillies to realize that McConnell plays them for the fools they are.
Until these people are gone, nothing will change. Trump is doing all he can do and has done a lot. I sleep.much better at night with him in office than I ever would with Hillary.
In the meantime, not sure if Trump can ultimately save us as I am sure the communist democrats and RINOs have done all they can to destroy us I’ve the last 30 or so years.
The name fits.
A quick refresher:
Wonder why you can’t find the previous 2 minutes of this clip.
I guess TBPs want a dictatorship, where their leader enacts all legislation. TBPs received more in one year than they could have reasonably expected from any politician and they are crying at a single act not being included in the spending bill.
Take a deep breath, TBPs.
Keep believing your fantasy. I judge a man by his actions. But, you keep hoping it’s all part of a master plan. You also probably believe the economy is booming and jobs are plentiful.
Is the American public divided and weak? Trump has done his job. Our masters are the ones playing multi-dimensional chess. Been perfecting it for centuries.
Like finding you wife filthy in bed with a basketball team, true the signs were there but I trusted her, no matter how wonderful she has been before, this makes it obvious, it’s not excusable, not forgettable, all trust is gone, makes one think of a divorce, a real 180 degree proven change is needed before forgiveness is possible. My eyes are open, I see the lies now, he’s in bed with the ZOG; you willingly serve who you love. I’m not his cuck.
