In the past two weeks Donnie has praised all the agencies Mulvaney and the weirdos at Heritage wanted him to eviscerate, if you needed any more proof he was totally out to lunch on the whole process.

It’s a good thing they increased the Pentagon’s budget. Although it has never successfully passed an audit — ever! — maybe it can use the new monies to look for that $6.5 trillion it still can’t account for.

Not at the House of Five Corners.

How much does this add to the federal debt? Oh yeah! That only matters when Democrats are in charge…

Great more money for military.

Translation: Our military doesn’t need more money, asks you not to allocate money to these things, and you do it anyway so your rich buddies in the military contracting business can get even more rich.

If America’s losing, that’s a win for Republicans. Never forget that instead of looking for ways to win the majority of America’s voters, they turned to gerrymandering and help from Russia’s hostile government to maintain control. The majority of Americans voted for a Democratic Senate, and the plurality of Americans voted for a Democratic President.

Republicans are Democracy’s enemy, and Republicans are America’s enemy.

Hey, sweep a few hundred billion here and a few hundred billion there and shazam, sweeping budget.

It won’t pass. The Senate will essentially eviscerate large portions of the House bill. Simply? It’s what they do every time no matter which party controls the Senate floor. Who knows what it will eventually look like however.

Well said!

Did Republican congress persons even read the bill? Not a chance. It’s beyond their ability to understand. Sure, don’t support the EPA. Clean air and clean water don’t matter.
