It seems like he told Trump to sign this abomination or god forbid the pentagon wouldn't get its 10s of billions of dollars.
What a farce, this is what you get when you fill your cabinet with generals and Washington insiders, the Trump presidency is probably ****ed
So what does the pentagon do with all its fancy new toys and flush with cash, obviously they arent using any of this to patrol our southern border.
Maybe a few wars in the middle east, shooting down a Russian jet in Syria will make the world a much more exciting place. War with china over islands and disputed territory in the south china seas? A nuclear confrontation on the Korean peninsula ?
With John Bolton as your national security advisor and congress just giving the military tons and tons of new weapons and cash, the world is your oyster
You didn’t believe him during the campaign when he said one of his priorities was to “rebuild” the military?
He told us in his press conference. For military spending because our military has been gutted over the past eight years. He gets threat assessment briefings every day so knows what the real threats are around the world. China is the biggest threat, not Russia. Because Dems have flipped on Russia, once their darling, I suspect China has been filling their pockets now.
Dude, come on. I agree with you often, but military spending has NOT been gutted. When Obama left office it was higher than it was when he took office.
I wish he hadn't signed.
I'd rather congress had to come back to Washington and go back to work. But Trump did what he had to. Everyone knows what he wanted and he just didn't get it - not this time.
If GOP doesn't do well in November he will never get it. "It" being The Wall and a permanent DACA solution. Congress will just fiddle around unless they are forced into action.
Some people are critical because Trump didn't get his border wall funding but in his platform he said that he would increase defense spending and leave social security intact, lets not act too surprised.
You cannot cut a deficit while increasing spending in the 3 major areas while cutting taxes, I just don't see how people can support a tax cut and now be concerned about deficits.

You mean like Dems calling everyone Racist, Homophobic, Sexist... both parties have their boogey man.
This so not the same thing, thus you have failed. And if you are not those things, then act like and they wont have a reason to call you that.
