Trump decides to fund santuary cities, signs Swamp Creature slush fund

[Ender]

He seemed to have a sound, working knowledge of how it works when he got government grants to build his private, for profit buildings. Which was very much his habit, especially early when he was developing the PennCentral property in NYC.

Daddy Fred taught him exactly how it works. You pay your kickbacks, you get taxpayer money to build your private property. Simple enough for even a Trump to understand.

Exactly.

This is REAL JOURNALISM!

'The Donald' has fully capitulated. There is a fair amount of resistance, but it's being contained by the mods. All this talk about DJT being one man being surrounded by the Swamp is utter nonsense. As CiC, he still possesses the biggest soapbox on the planet. He could have raised holy hell with a few 'illuminating' press conferences if he wanted to. Maybe even brought Rand along as the primary instructor.

During his signing of it, he confirmed no one read it.

So the old bitch was right.....

Standard operating procedure...

This shit is getting old.

 

[Philmanoman]

LMAO
I didn't vote...

Won't be much longer now
danno will be the only one defending trump ...Maybe nclib too.
Face it RPFs...no one here is as smart as danno and trump
You can't win...resistance is futile.

Just think...Just barely over a year into it?...wait till the real trump emerges.

 

[Philmanoman]

We have to pass it ...
So we can spend the money how we really want to...

 

[Superfluous Man]

Yes but if he didn't know this specific item was in it and congress snuck it in anyway and he signed it, then veto may very well be what happens next time because he knows he can't trust them.

Sure he will.

If there's one undeniable truth that Trump has proven about himself by now, it's that he's a terrible negotiator.

He's a bluffer. Again and again, he bluffs. And people are calling his bluffs now, and he's got no backup plan.

Aren't you the same guy who thought that his tariffs would make China reduce their tariffs, rather than increase them like they actually did, like everyone besides you knew they would?

Fail on so many levels.

If this was just a “test” as some here believe then Trump massively misunderstands how hard it is to reverse bad policy once it is affirmed in Washington. This level of negligence is unbelievable. If he is the chess master he surely could have devised a trial of lesser importance to sus out his enimies.

Also where is this “great, the best team, the best people” that we’ve heard so much about? This whole team could be bothered to read a bill for Trump if he won’t read it himself!!?

I’m wordering if this is:

1) betrayal by negligence?
2) betrayal by ineptitude?
3) planned betrayal?
4) betrayal/lack of principles?

His comment on it suggested that it was a devils bargain. Trump said that he couldn't get his military spending without all of the other spending.

Why are you here if you support the omnibus due to increased military spending? You see I can be a dick to and make up shit about your posts if that is how you are going to play it anytime I post here.

No that's what Trump said.

[seapilot]

If I was on a committee I would be sneaking stuff like that in everywhere I could knowing most would never care to read it.

 

[NorthCarolinaLiberty]

This is the forum where people commonly talked about obama being gay and michelle being a transexual. get over yourself.

I didn't hear anybody here calling for the impeachment of your 2x voting choice for that.

I would comment on your political leanings, most of which are probably anti-liberty, but I honestly don't know them, since all you post about is sports, your homemade conspiracy theories, and culture war bs. you really don't have much going on in that brain of yours

Man, dude; you are really, really, really bad at this trolling. Don't quit your day job!

Nancy Pelosi be like "Slow down Mr President. You don't have to give us everything in one day."

1.3 trillion but at least a weed is (barely) safe(r).

'Fix NICS' is going to incentivize the merging of medical marijuana databases with NICS background checks so uh, good luck, pot heads.

If you haven't already committed a felony by perjuring yourself on a federal 4473 form, you can rest assured that so long as you turn your firearms in to a certified collection point, your dog won't be murdered in a midnight collection raid.

 

[RJ Liberty]

The only silver lining I can see in this ridiculous spending bill is the medical marijuana rider. According to the media, Jeff Sessions is still trying to crack down on the states' legalization of medical weed.

The only silver lining I can see in this ridiculous spending bill is the medical marijuana rider. According to the media, Jeff Sessions is still trying to crack down on the states' legalization of medical weed.

As was literally just explained, the FIX NICS Amendment incentivizes states to provide records on who is prohibited under current law from owning a firearm.

The 4473 Question 11.e asks:

Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana, or any depressant, stimulant, or narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?

Marijuana is classified currently as Schedule I meaning that regardless of what states say, it is unlawful to use the substance, with or without a card.

The ATF has already affirmed this and the SCOTUS has established precedent which affirms the same thing.

If you answer 11.e as 'Yes,' you will be denied a firearm purchase. If you answer it as, 'No' and you have a Medical Marijuana Card you have perjured yourself on a Federal Form.

What all of this means is that when you get a Medical Card you relinquish your 2nd Amendment Rights. When Fix NICS is up there will be millions of new prohibited possessors and instant felons.

How exactly does some Amendment with no real footing, which even missed four of the fifty states, trump the injustice which will be done to marijuana users once the NICS background check system is more complete?
