Spending Bill a major victory for Dems-- but-- WTF?-- Trump signed it anyway!
New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, one of the spendiest spenders in Washington, D.C., celebrated the 2,300-plus page, $1.3 trillion spending bill currently being rammed last-minute through Congress to beat the Friday deadline
"Overall, we Democrats are very happy with what we have been able to accomplish on a number of very important priorities to the middle class in America," Schumer said Thursday. "Infrastructure, education, opioid treatment, mental health, child care. For nearly a decade, the middle class in this country has suffered from a needless and self-imposed austerity, limiting investment of all of the things that create good-paying jobs and improve the working conditions of Americans, improve the lives of Americans."

The bill, which was slammed by congressional conservatives like Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul as “rotten” and “terrible,” includes massive upticks in defense spending, while making no cuts to entitlement programs, providing little for border security, and continuing to fully fund sanctuary cities, Obamacare, and abortion providers like Planned Parenthood.
No wonder Schumer and Pelosi have such big smiles on their faces . . .
That's no laughing matter....
LOL!
Sorry....I.....just can't.......help....myself...
Right on!!

Of course Trump is no conservative. But still-- it seems strange that he would sign such a bill. He constantly demands loyalty from his staff-- but here he screwed over members of his own party in Congress. Why?
For Trump, loyalty is a one way street...
The only explanation I can come up with is that lately his nerves are becoming frazzled. There's chaos in the White House. Any of the staff could be fired at any minute-- without warning. And they know it. Some of them keep leaking information to the media;;;
Trump probably never thought the facts would come about about his cheating on Melania-- and his constant sleazy affairs with several whores. (I wonder how his relationship with Melania is going now?)
And the Mueller "Witch Hunt" keeps turning up more and more "Witches": convictions, plea bargains-- and even some people who have "turned" and are willing to testify. (And worse yet for Trump-- he has no idea what those "Witches" have told Mueller-- so he can really shoot himself in the foot if he publically lies about any of those things...)
He never was all that well adjusted anyway-- but IMO his obvious mental problems are growing worse by the day
Of course not all people agree with Schumer and Pelosi-- in fact many prominent Conservatives are not amused:
Ann Coulter skewers Trump over spending bill, suggests he will face impeachment
During the Friday news conference, the president spoke at length about his displeasure with the bill and vowed to “never sign another bill like this again.” To which Ann Coulter snarked, “Yeah, because you’ll be impeached.” (AP)
Conservative commentator and author Ann Coulter skewered President Trump in a series of tweets Friday and suggested he will face impeachment after he signed a $1.3 trillion spending bill into law.
“CONGRATULATIONS, PRESIDENT SCHUMER!” the one-time staunch Trump supporter and author of In Trump We Trust tweeted Friday, bashing the president's work with Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
That woman definitely has a way with words
Dear Friend Krishna: President and Commander in Chief Charles E. (Chuck) Schumer.
I like the sound of that.

Mr. Trump’s grudging embrace only highlighted the degree to which a president who portrays himself as the ultimate dealmaker has been sidelined by congressional leaders in both parties when it comes to striking compromises to fund the core functions of government. Instead, Mr. Trump has proved unable to find a way to negotiate victories on some of his highest priorities.
Ardent conservatives who are Mr. Trump’s core backers were left wondering aloud whether the president’s capitulation and failures would imperil Republicans’ chances of keeping control of Congress in the midterm elections this fall. Amy Kremer, a Tea Party activist who helped founded Women for Trump, tweeted, “I’m done.”
“Democrats just won November #midterms. No point in wasting my time between now and then,” Ms. Kremer wrote. (LINK)
It provides $641 million for about 33 miles of new fencing, but prohibits building a concrete structure or other prototypes the president has considered.
Well, while it may only be a little fencing, and will only cover a tiny part of the border-- I suppose the good news is that Trump was successful in getting the Mexicans to pay for it-- so he hasn't been a total failure!
the check bounced....
There ya go!! A lot of Legos and duct tape and Voila!
proof
LOL_-- that is funny!
