I am disgusted

As a conservative republican and staunch Trump supporter, I find the funding bill which was just passed to be a total betrayal. I blame almost the entire betrayal on Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan. According to what I have ascertained, these two “negotiated” with Chuck Schummer and Nancy Pelosi to create this abomination. However, I find it laughable to refer to the process as one of negotiation when the Dimms got everything and President Trump got almost nothing. Mitch and Paul gave away the farm. They did not even get a poor price for the farm. The funding for the border wall is non-existent. The ICE resources are being reduced. The Sanctuary cities federal funding is guaranteed. Even Planned Parenthood is fully funded. I have a question for Mitch and Paul. Why didn’t you also double the funding for Planned Parenthood up to an even billion? After all, you could have stolen the extra half-billion from the military funding!

The second part of my feeling of betrayal is directed at the Republicans in both houses. You knew that you were being intentionally given totally inadequate time to digest the bill. In your position, I would have taken that as a display of total disrespect, and refused to be placed in that position. I would have displayed my displeasure at being excluded from the process and being given the bum’s rush by voting against the bill.

I feel some empathy for President Trump, but I also know that he did not express his displeasure with the bill before the votes were done by congress. So I fault him for not vigorously resisting the bill. He was the last line of defense, and only he has the veto power. He should have used it.

The final result is legislation that guarantees that taxpayer money is going to be wasted on pork belly projects that are the Dimms desire, but any and all negative results, and there will be many, will be blamed on the Republicans by the Dimms!
