I'd like to see a similar rational non Glenn beck reasoning that there is any fact to this assertion beyond reading into the situation with rose colored glasses for the president. I don't see letting the opposition party have continued leverage with debt ceiling battles as particularly smart strategy. Maybe not the end of the world but not some checkmate move in 4d chess.

If someone can give me rational reasons (and not Glenn Beck style talking points) why a 3 month debt limit extension is somehow the end of conservatism and means Trump is now suddenly going to go full Democrat, I'm willing to read it. Otherwise, all I see is the president engaging in a meaningless gesture to get a hurricane relief bill passed while simultaneously giving the finger to the fucksticks in his own party who already aren't doing anything conservative and forcing them to take sides during future primary debates. |

Can one of you nevertrumpers tell me why it is Trump's fault that the repeal and replacement of Obongocare failed when the 3 senators who killed it used liberal talking points as their justifications for voting "no"???

...oh, I voted for Trump. But I was well aware that he would do things like support DACA and expand our debt. You and "your ilk" seem to support such RINO stuff. I oppose DACA and expanding the debt ceiling. You and Schumer cheer for it. I guess that's your thing. I will also remind you that, just like the cunts in Congress, fighting us all the way to the finish line only to claim you voted for Trump and were thus on the right side is bullshit and everyone sees that. 'Rather stabbed in the front than the back' is something that McConnell is finally learning. Now, just like you, it is almost certain that McConnell thinks he is winning and that this will distance Trump voters from Trump where as what it is actually doing is making Trump supporters hate McConnell and establishment Republicans even more than one thought was possible. Got it. Odd how McConnell and company keep fucking up like on Obamacare where they helped us get stuck with it twice. Why if someone had an IQ above room temp they might even think that the Republicans want all these bad things to begin with The established cunts like McConnell fought us during the primary, during the general, and now they fight us in Congress. How can you even for a second not see how wrong it is to crow about repealing Obamacare for OVER EIGHT FUCKING YEARS only to NOT REPEAL OBAMACARE. That is what those fuckers did and keep on doing. You realize this? Trump gave them a chance to pass anything they could agree on and after EIGHT YEARS of lying to us they didn't have a single line they could pass. You are blind if you can't see how we gave the Republicans Congress and the Presidency, even though they didn't want it, and they have given us nothing in return. Obamacare You blame it all on Trump. We are both at the crossroads and you have gone one way and I have gone the other way.............I say FUCK CONGRESS. You say FUCK TRUMP. One of us is correct, the other is wrong. Instead, it was Obamacare-lite. THEN after conservatives thankfully stopped that effort, the fall back position became repeal. That's why repeal failed. That is why it failed.............three so called republicans stopped the repeal due to reasons TOTALLY outside the concept of "straight repeal". True repeal or OCare lite (aka TrumpCare)? As it turns out he failed in "getting the ball rolling" due to three Senators arguing liberal talking points as their justification for voting against the repeal. "Getting the ball rolling" and "We have to do something" are what got us where we are Trump supports these ideals and is willing to work with Schumer and Pelosi to "get the ball rolling" http://m.quickmeme.com/img/56/5691a5e1d316da2178fbef2ca412f23e2a9d3ea0544f58abfe74432793c8cd64.jpg Your logic is lacking..............sorry. I blame the GOPe I blame everyone who blindly vote them in office The .fed has been too Liberal for too long and now Trump is seen as Right |

Again, I've already said you are correct. Trump did not and could not vote for Obamacare-Lite. Or the straight repeal. I think he would've signed either if they had passed. I'm glad we agree that it's a problem for anyone to support Obamacare-Lite. I was really hoping Trump would use that moment to castrate the senators who didn't vote for the straight repeal. Especially the ones who promised to do so a million times. I was very sad when the next morning was a tweet about trannies in the military. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/06/us/politics/trump-conservatives-democrats-deal.html?mcubz=0
WASHINGTON — It is the scenario that President Trump’s most conservative followers considered their worst nightmare, and on Wednesday it seemed to come true: The dealmaking political novice, whose ideology and loyalty were always fungible, cut a deal with Democrats.
If Mr. Trump’s agreement with the two Democratic leaders, Senator Chuck Schumer and Representative Nancy Pelosi, to increase the debt limit and finance the government for three months did not yet represent the breaking point between the president and his core, hard-right base of support, it certainly put him closer than he has ever been to tipping his fragile political coalition into open revolt. Stunned and irate, conservative leaders denounced news that Mr. Trump had agreed to rely on Democratic votes to win congressional approval for a temporary extension of the debt ceiling and funding of the government until mid-December. “These are the moments that can derail President Trump’s presidency,” said David Bozell, the president of For America and a Trump supporter, who added that the president’s base would be watching the next few months very carefully. “He is not Teflon,” Mr. Bozell added. “Trump spent some of his own political capital today.” Adam Brandon, the president of FreedomWorks, offered a searing judgment of the president: “Talk about burning bridges with the grass-roots.” “Meet the Swamp,” read the headline on the Breitbart News site. Beneath it was a picture of Mr. Trump meeting at the White House with Ms. Pelosi, Mr. Schumer and Mitch McConnell, the Senate majority leader. View Quote That was why many activists and voters swallowed their own reservations about the sincerity of his commitment to their causes, and brushed aside concerns from many fellow Republicans that they were cutting a deal with a charlatan who would inevitably sell them out. Seeing no other alternative but Hillary Clinton as president, they bought into Mr. Trump’s “drain the swamp” promises to upend Washington and forged a bond over their mutual contempt with the Republican Party establishment.
But on Wednesday, prominent conservatives scoffed at the deal that Mr. Trump signed onto — announced first, no less, by congressional Democrats — as something straight from the swamp. “I know for certain,” said Jenny Beth Martin, a founder of Tea Party Patriots, that grass-roots conservatives “did not work so hard last year to elect majorities in the House and the Senate and get Trump elected in the White House to enact liberal policy priorities.” View Quote |

The presidents only real job with regard to legislation is to sign it or not sign it. Do you think that Trump wouldn't have signed an Obamacare repeal? Do you think he won't sign a debt limit extension? Or tax reform? I don't particularly like him on a personal level but I'd bet my house that given the chance he would sign all of that.
So that leaves us with a Congress that can't get their shit together. He gave them a chance, they didn't just fuck it up they critized him at every turn.all they had to do was fall into the shadow of the biggest political wind break in history and toe the fucking line. They couldn't. Now he is making them look like assholes by actually getting things done...i don't like that chucky has that smug fucking grin on his face and Pelosi thinks she's at Disney land or some senial shit...but this is a Regan style move. My only hope is that voters pit a non lethal shot across the GOPs bow...they need to unfuck themselves or Trump will rip off their head and shit democrats down their neck, and that won't be good for any of us. |
