It then goes to conference committee where members from both houses wheel and deal before it goes back to both houses for final ratification, before going back to the president. <br /><br />Here's Pres Bush II's budget proposal from 2003: https://www.nytimes.com/2003/02/04/us/president-s-budget-proposal-overview-bush-s-2.2-trillion-budget-proposes-record.html<br /><br />Under Harry Reid's control of US Senate under Bush and McConnell's control under Obama, things got a little broken w/ just continuing resolutions of whatever the last budget deal was -- lasting years -- but above is how it's supposed to work.RSRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-14470322710551845522019-02-22T13:13:05.528-08:002019-02-22T13:13:05.528-08:00I was a fan of hers for years, have 3(?) of her bo...I was a fan of hers for years, have 3(?) of her books, quite entertaining but Ann, for the love of God, STFU. I might have missed it and I'm not being facetious, but I don't remember her climbing on Paul Ryan's ass when we had mo and both Houses. He's the mofo in this story, McConnell too, both bought & paid for.<br /><br />He's juggling 11 bowling pins, has got the entirety of the left dominated media hammering him 24/7, the Deep State out for his scalp, entrenched bureaucrats doing anything they can to undermine him, a DOJ, CIA, State/Dept & FBI crawling with fucking traitors and when you get right down to it nothing but a handful of Congressmen that won't participate in his impeachment given any sort of cover.<br /><br />I guess he could order the military to hu-tu to the "snap of his fingers" but look at the hysteria at the rather mundane, in comparison, call for a National Emergency.<br /><br />She's gotta realize the scope of his oppo is staggering. Yet somehow, the man doesn't just trundle on but wins.

Think about what is being exposed, maybe at a trickle but none the less. The spending bill those idiots signed, yes it may give him problems but it might make for great ads in 2020. I hope they and her keep kotex in the news daily. She is our greatest spokesperson next to nan and her mumbling. Did no one see the news about some more wall in kommiefornia. Damn people need to read more. I will take that trickle all day long if that is all we get. Drain the swamp gave me new meaning this week. It won't come from barrel bombs on a damn I guess but I'll take it. Aesop I would like to be a fly on "tfa's", or what ever it is, wall when the day comes.

Career is her thing and nothing wrong with that. I'm wondering if she regrets being single and alone in her elder years now?

He has done far better than we deserve, given the congresscritters he's had to deal with. Still, he is who he is. Trump is a businessman, a wheeler and dealer. Negotiating is his go-to skill. He's not an autocrat.<br /><br />This puts him at a severe disadvantage. Business deals are white as snow compared to government, and he's had to learn the hard way who his real friends (very few) are. We know that he's continually being lied to by his subordinates and his 'allies', and opposed by just about everyone in the District. The judicial branch attempts to stymie every action he takes, using Trump's desire for law and order against him.<br /><br />As our host has noted, Trump is one man, surrounded by the Deep State. How many of the Secret Service (let alone the Justice Department) are actively working for the swamp? What of his family, could they be held hostage? How much more can he do before Arkancide Hillary style starts kicking in?<br /><br />Trump is our president, not the God-Emperor (the wonderful float in an Italian carnivale not withstanding). The Emperor Protects, I believe President Trump can only delay the fall of the American Empire. Be grateful for that!<br /><br />tweellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12463542480977834528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-82315589669321709742019-02-22T07:41:35.259-08:002019-02-22T07:41:35.259-08:00James M.

Until they do. <br /><br />Adapted to politics: Assume that every politician will transform, immediately upon the closing of the polls on election day, into a creature with the worst features of Vidkun Quisling, Crooked Hillary "Arkanicide" Clinton, Paul "GOPe" Ryan, and Marcus Junius Brutus (the Younger) (of "et, tu, Brute?" fame). Until, of course, they do.

Trump could snap his fingers and line the border with hesco barrier firebases, motorized patrols, and drone surveillance. He was elected to secure the border and reverse the illegal immigration that is stealing our country away. This could have been a day 1 order to the joint chiefs of staff. <br />I'm still pro-trump but it's looking more and more like he merely bought us 4 years of hatchet sharpening. That's enough to make me not regret my vote, but I wish he would act in a Machiavellian manner to crush his enemies and enact the will of the people against the will of the deep state.
