It's not complicated.

Can you conservatives ever accept that the house, the senate and the White House are controlled by Republicans and that this is a Republican bill?!

I swear, y’all would believe Fox if they reported that Hillary signed this bill today instead of Trump.

Because as per title a one party rule is pretty much a dictatorship.

There is absolutely no reason for the republican party to exist at this point if this is what they are going to accomplish with the most power they have had in 100 years .The Republican leadership is so weak. At this point who cares who wins the midterms, the Democrats are going to get what they want anyway
We've been telling you for years that R political leaders are hypocrites.

They needs these funds to propagandize the rest of us in alliance with their donors.

The thing to do is support a constitutional amendment to take the dark money and big donations out of politics, and we can not do that without voting in sympathetic individuals.

Big money is the problem, our democracy is for sale. Historically that has always been a danger to republics and we are particularly vulnerable in this modern age with so many new ways to persuade the less aware and poorly informed.

That is the paradox ... the big money goes toward influencing our votes through propaganda, but the only civil remedy is to vote in people of integrity who would shut off the taps.

Trump really touched a nerve when he declared he was self funded (and therefore un-influenced by donors), and it animated millions in his favor, so the public will is definitely there to deal with this problem. The reality is the man later took enormous amounts of money and stopped making the claim everyone was influenced by, directing our attention to other shiny objects.

We must eliminate the dark money from our political landscape or our people's well being is in perennial jeopardy.

Lame duck in one year, now THAT is some record!

Thank GOD I never voted for him, nor did anyone I know. He might have just made the best case ever for a 3rd party groundswell.
You didn’t vote for him, huh?

Yanno, they come few and far between, but I've seen dems who say, they don't like Trump but they've got to give him credit where credit is due....not all dems are the same, just as repubs are not the same, you and I don't think and feel the same but...we're human beings, and we're tryin the best way we know how.

Hillary and her husband are not good people, and regardless, I'd still rather have Trump in there, but he really disappoints me at times...but we can't have it all....and he has already done a lot...but I just feel this was a very bad move on his part....

maybe I'm wrong, maybe he was thinking about the military, we won't know that....I wish he'd stop with the bragging....he opens his mouth and it's embarrassing....he represents us, just like we represent our families...our bosses...etc..but I will try and hold the course....thank you

Default Coordinated effort against Trump

Well it may expire by tomorrow but have you all noticed that many “Trump supporters” are saying they are done with Trump?

Many conservative pundits and outlets are also attacking Trump.

I’m sorry but this doesn’t add up. What is their plan? Any theories?

doubt it's coordinated. basically just wide-spread frustration that he folded without getting funding for his magical southern wall.
