Republicans wave white flag again as Dems Applaud $1 Trillion Spending Plan As ‘Dramatic Victory’

Durbin Lauds $1 Trillion Spending Plan As 'Dramatic Victory'

Why should the Democrats even try to retake the House? Republicans just approved a spending bill that funds everything Democrats want.

If Congressional Republicans had a backbone, they'd get things done. But they're too afraid of the fight. Too damn afraid.

Some of Trump caves on spending bill:
No $ for the wall
Domestic spending goes up
EPA cut only 1% Planned
Parenthood funded
Obamacare funded

Fox's old 'best journalist' Greta Van Sus just whined on MSNBC the Dems' little victory lap is highly inappropriate in DC...lol

now THAT's one clueless talking head

I'm glad republicans decided to throw them a bone. They've taken a brutal beating.

lol

The Omnibus spending bill would double the number of H-2B visas for FY2017, displacing Americans while putting their replacements at risk.

 

[Indeependent]

The average Republican in Congress can not fund their own campaign.

We didn't send Republicans to D.C. to work with Democrats. Can someone remind them to grow a pair? Thanks.

All the GOP know how to do is complain about obama. They can't govern !!! One trick ponies .

They have congress and the White House and still can't pass a gall stone .

 

[basquebromance]

There is no longer a difference between Republicans and Democrats in Congress. They want to buy you off while building bigger government.

Republicans aren't SURRENDERING, passing a spending bill that gives Democrats the big gov they want. See, Republicans want big gov too.

If you rely on a media source that once used forged documents to try to influence a presidential election you get left wing propaganda. If you have the intellectual ability to search further than CBS you find that it's the first time in history that a sitting president's agenda prevailed over a budget that was developed during a previous administration. Trump not only prevented a government shutdown which would have been blamed on republicans but he managed to get more money for border security than was authorized in the last ten years. Wait until Trump writes his own budget in September.

The funding for Planned Parenthood was not touched. That will feel like a tarantula crawling up evangelical's bare leg. PBS also wasn't cut.

Of course there will be another fight in September but what will change?

The Republicans won the Senate, the House and the House
which filled them with tremendous esteem
until the real job required real leadership
and they lost the deck in 2018

Aye Captain which way will ye' steer?
the rocks are a breakin' way over theer'
Then thot's y'er heading I don't f'eer the rocks
I f'eer the p'oor won't pay for thar socks!

This is not a loss for the grumpy old white man party nor is it a win for the giveaway dems. it's a budget.

 

[Desperado]

Absolute Proof that the two parties are just the flip side of the same coin.
The elites of both parties are too entrenched to allow any of the changes Trump supposedly backs they will not happen,
It seems the more things change the more they stay the same.

President Trump, you were sent to DC to "drain the swamp," "tear it down," & "shake it up."

Don't act like a regular DC Republican. Ok?

Yes you did. It's called "governing". I realize this is a concept unfamiliar to partisan hacks such as yourself. Those on Congress know that if they take away women's health care (which is what Planned Parenthood provides, millions of women will be without birth control, and other vital healthcare services, not just abortions.

So many women's clinics have been forced to close for not having hospital sized corridors that there is now a shortage of Medicaid clinics for women's health care

Just because you believe the right wing lies about PP doesn't make them true. Unless and until PP violates the law, there is nothing to prevent them from billing Medicaid or other federal programs for services provided.

You mess with women's health care and abortion rights and you'll be out of office next election. Millenials and women will vote you out.

They have sold of America.... all of them.

Now, enjoy the decline. What else is there to do?

 

[basquebromance]

Government (both parties are to blame) spends too much of your money. It's time to rise up, and take back what is yours.

 

[basquebromance]

The 1.1 trillion dollar spending bill that just adavanced to the Senate should be obliterated by Freedom fighters like Mike Lee and Ron Johnson.

It's a Democrat victory that needs to be killed on arrival on the floor of the Senate. Let's fight, Republicans. Get that moxie!
