I'm surprised it has taken the Trump supporters this long to realize they've been had. When Trump stacked his cabinet with more Goldman Sachs execs than Obama did, that should have been an obvious sign.
Yeah, I wasn't real happy about those either.

But at least Obama moved things in the direction I wanted them to go, even though he failed to push as hard as he could have.

You can't really say that about Trump.

This is what humanity has to offer for the leader of the world?

We have BIG problems.
I was following you until you talked about somebody falling own drunk. You lost me.

Recognizing that Trump is an ass and that congressional Rs are his enablers is good enough.

I didn't support Rs 30 years ago, but I have to say they were better than this bunch. I'd love to see those old Rs back.

And murdered people with drone strikes the same day he was accepting his "peace prize."

I didn't like either one. The first time I could not vote for the lesser of two evils. I could not bring myself to vote for either one.

Don't get your hopes up. We libertarians are trying to educate them into the correct way of thinking (voluntarily, of course).

Strange how Trump won, yet none of you right wingers voted for him.

Ain’t that something? Funny how that works.

Fact is, I don’t know what you’re all complaining about now. This is the same Republican Party that it’s been ever since I can remember. Trump isn’t behaving any different than any other Republican President. And the Congressional Republicans aren’t behaving any different than any other Republican Congressional majority in the past.

Why you all thought this time would be different goes over my head.

I'll admit that i've been had...looks like it's straight third-party voting for me from now on.

IMO, The third parties have a golden opportunity to blow some holes in the two-party system, and they'd be stupid not to capitalize on it right now. Before, they didn't really have much of a chance, other than Ross Perot, but now...

What is all the commotion about exactly? Most of this bill is massive military spending - the biggest increase in 14 years.

Did you expect Trump and the Republicans to back out of this and force a government shutdown? I don’t get it.
