why is everybody getting discombobulated over an omnibus bill? not even a budget
Poast new message in this thread
Date: March 24th, 2018 4:33 PM Author: primrose fiercely-loyal yarmulke Someone please correct me if I'm wrong (i'm not), but this is an omnibus bill and not a budget, right?
So during the Obama years they passed tons of these and he pretty much ignored them every time, spending money all over the place however he saw fit and it was completely legal, so why couldn't Trump just do the same thing, like "slow walk" funding to Planned Parenthood etc. while taking full advantage of the authorized spending for the military
Also couldn't the Army Corps of Engineers build the Wall and couldn't that come out of the military funding?
He always has a plan and never reveals it until it's already a foregone conclusion, and what happens every single time shitlibs start gloating and celebrating their latest "victory" over DRUMF |

Date: March 24th, 2018 4:48 PM Author: Smoky library It’s a budget. Trump fucked up BIG TIME.
Rand Paul does a good job at getting into some of the problems on his Twitter page:
https://mobile.twitter.com/i/moments/976923452149035009
o $1m for the Cultural Antiquities Task Force
o $6.25m for the Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation
o $20m for Countering Foreign State Propaganda
o $12m for Countering State Disinformation and Pressure
o $5m for Vietnam Education Foundation Grants
o $2.579m for Commission on Security and Co-operation in Europe
o $15m to USAID for promoting international higher education between universities
o $2.696bn for International Disaster Assistance
o $1.371bn for Contributions to International Organizations
o $51m to promote International Family Planning and Reproductive Health
o $7m promoting International Conservation
o $10m for UN Environmental Programs
o $1m for the World Meteorological Organization
o $218m for Promoting Democracy Development in Europe (yep..the birthplace of democracy needs promoting)
o $25m for International Religious Freedom
o $10m for disadvantaged Egyptian Students
o $12m for Scholarships for Lebanon
o $20m for Middle East Partnership Initiative Scholarship Program
o $12m in military funding for Vietnam
o $3.5m in nutrition assistance to Laos
o $15m in Developmental assistance to China
o $10m for Women LEOs in Afghanistan
On top of that, he barely got any funding for his wall. XO Ann Coulter, who is 3x smarter than Trump, says he should be impeached:
And even Fox News was saying there was “no way to spin” this “huge defeat” for Trump:
In effect, he sold out to the Left, and got absolutely nothing in return. He looks like a bumbling fool. |

Date: March 24th, 2018 4:53 PM Author: Lemon cruise ship newt People are saying it's an omnibus bill which is different from an actual budget. Are you sure it was a budget and not an omnibus that passed, and is there a major difference between the two? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3927888&forum_id=2#35678840) |
|
Date: March 24th, 2018 4:54 PM Author: Smoky library These articles all refer to it as a “budget” or “spending bill.” The government was going to shut down if it did not pass.
If there’s a difference between a budget and an “omnibus bill,” I don’t think it’s material. |

Date: March 24th, 2018 5:00 PM Author: wonderful halford Yes there is a difference you fucking retard: this actually dictates spending whereas Trump's budget is a meaningless document (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3927888&forum_id=2#35678874) |

Date: March 24th, 2018 4:58 PM Author: alcoholic coffee pot He didn't sell out to the left. His retarded bluff was called by both parties, neither of whom respect him or care what he thinks. Both parties want tons of this pork and are happy to trade millions for millions on pet projects and kickback schemes. Trump showed yet again that he is an impotent child raging in his bedroom while the parents go on with their business. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3927888&forum_id=2#35678863) |

Date: March 24th, 2018 5:02 PM Author: Smoky library Agreed. Trump should have vetoed this but did not.
Now it’s over for him. |

LMAO |
|
Date: March 24th, 2018 5:21 PM Author: Smoky library The spending budget that Trump signed funds more border wall to be built in Jordan (on its borders with Syria and Iran) than in America.
It's beyond a disgrace that Trump signed this thing, and I think he very well may have signed his Presidential death warrant. What fucking good is he? |
|
Date: March 24th, 2018 5:28 PM Author: cracking forum You can only laugh at this point. This thing is an abomination. Undercuts every single policy “goal”. Only thing he hasn’t managed to fuck up are the judicial nominees (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3927888&forum_id=2#35679031) |

Date: March 24th, 2018 5:54 PM Author: primrose fiercely-loyal yarmulke Trump got handed a turd and realizing that dragging it out would be pointless and distracting signed it while making his displeasure known.
No, this will not insure Republican death in the 2018 midterms, because no one is going to remember this anymore than they remember Trump blowing up an unoccupied Syrian airfield. It will all be forgotten as bigger events overtake it:
1)The OIG Report should hit in a few weeks. If it's even half as explosive as rumors suggest it will give Trump the tools to significantly remake the political landscape.
2)We're doing all this again in 6 months mere weeks before the midterms, when Trump will be far less amenable ('Never again' he said as he signed this pile of hog-shit) and the increasingly frustrated electorate will be focusing on Congressional malfeasance.
Be of good cheer. Trump slapped the smarm off their pork-engorged faces and reminded them that he didn't get to where he is by taking shit like this lying down. This is merely a skirmish while the battle lines are being formed and I have no doubt on whose side I want be. |

Date: March 24th, 2018 7:03 PM Author: Smoky library If you take these events in the most generous light possible (and you should admit that your OP and entire thread are 100% wrong), they indicate that Trump is completely incompetent and gave up every single policy priority to the Dems for 2018.
He's going into the midterms with virtually no funding for the wall, while giving the Dems all the money they want for their causes. A complete disgrace.
And while I really hope your #1 is right, it’s really our only chance. More importantly, it has absolutely nothing to do with Trump, thank God. I think he’d fuck it all up if he had any input at all in the process. |

Date: March 24th, 2018 4:57 PM Author: Smoky library Here’s another article. OP is wrong, and this is effectively a budget. Trump might have signed his Presidential death warrant in signing this thing:
“Sure, there is increased military spending, but there's only chump change for the border wall, enough funding for only 33 miles on the U.S. southern border. Instead, Ryan's and McConnell's spend-a-thon provides $500 million for a 274-mile wall on Jordan's border with Syria and Iraq, along with a wall for Tunisia, too.”

|
Date: March 24th, 2018 5:13 PM Author: Smoky library It’s amazing how the OP set forth this delusional 11D chess fantasy based on the ludicrous notion that Trump can simply disregard this omnibus spending bill and spend as he wants.
And when faced with all this evidence I presented, of people on his side who are furious about this and know that this spending bill dictates how money will be spent, he just goes silent. |

Date: March 24th, 2018 6:07 PM Author: Pale laughsome clown What difference does the name make? The government is authorizing billions of dollars to be spent on shit like "women in the Afghanistan police force." This is an utter disgrace and betrayal of the American people.
Trump should've vetoed. This seems like it snuck up him (it shouldn't have), and he was left not wanting to be blamed for a government shut down. Personally, I will get over Trump's gaffe on this one, because I think he was truly unhappy and caught by surprise.
However, the GOP are a bunch of motherfucking traitors. I know some of them dislike Trump, but I can't believe they would intentionally embarrass him and fuck him over on the wall. Given how much retarded shit they are willing to spend money on, the fact that they won't legitimately fund a gigantic symbol that is very important to their base is telling.
I despise Paul Ryan and his ilk more than shitlibs. At least libs are honest about their hatred for America. |
