Ominous days ahead for all.

Already Trump is talking of a coming "Arms Race" with several other nations. Ironically, he did say quite a bit about "Ending Wars Abroad and No More Intervention" during his campaign speeches. What we get instead is a U.S military about to embark on a global campaign of involvement in virtually every conflict.

There is no way for Ryan and McConnell to explain that. None. They must be tired after being the majority for less than two years.
As expected you didn’t even realize that figure is way off. Can you count past 50?

You are just a conservative troll with no substance probably posting from Macedonia, Russia or Poland.

That's just bias opinion. No problem we won't be in agreement on most things.
The tunnel will never effect me in anyway. The wall would have an effect on the entire country.

I'll ask you the same question I as earlier and never got an answer too and look forward to an answer.


Democrats feel very good because so many of our priorities for the middle class were included," said Schumer.

What priorities for the many in the middle class did Schumer get ?

I believe he was talking about things such as opioid crisis funding, rural broadband, a boost to the affordable housing tax credit, more funding for veterans hospitals, child care development block grants and something regarding student loans.

It's a big bill, so I'm sure more will start to trickle out as people get a chance to read it.

OK, good. I hope you will post more when you find out about them.

Yes, I agree. But how when the same people keep getting re-elected and the new blood blends right into the same old mold?

I can’t answer your question because my knowledge of the bill is limited. However I’m not going around claiming the bill is good or bad. All I know is that 700 billion for military spending sounds like way too much.
Unwilling to read the link or do anything to be informed without some spoon feeding won't get much sympathy around here
Sounds like but you don't know and that sounds like too.
More baseless accusations sounds like.

$719 billion is $719 billion too much.

So he's following the Bush/Obama doctrine...

Finally, you've become copecetic with my thinking. Hope you're correct on this. Maybe you don't realize this, but your post is very representative of the inevitable realization by republicans, that Trump and his cohorts are not at all of the same political party and are as much at odds with them, as they are with the Democrats. Trump has now, clearly identified himself as the enemy of us all, so what's the delay in giving him the boot?
