This week the president did his job and looked out for the American people by cutting a deal to lift the debt ceiling for 3 months and receiving more money for hurricane relief. He made his deal not with congressional republicans, but with democrats, and the move has everyone speculating about what it means for the long term of Washington maneuvering.
Pat Buchanan’s take Here
Ben Domenech sees what the President is doing to the do-nothing Republican congress
It’s going to be an interesting three months in congress.
A good warning shot by Trump across the bows of McConnell and Ryan–if you guys can’t get it done, I’ll start working with Democrats. This strategy isn’t going to hurt Trump at all. Republicans who voted for him can see the Congressional dysfunction of Ryan and McConnell, and Trump is likely to pick up any moderate Democrats frustrated by Washington’s intransigence and identity politics. Woe to Congressional Republicans come next fall.
we knew Donald could swing both ways. If rinos build a wall here, and democrats wall is not at high, he will climb the democrat wall to get shit done.
Trump is now dumping on the worthless Repubs and everybody is united in dumping on us!
As much as I can’t stand that pelosi and schumer come out of this with momentum, I can understand that Trump has had it with the establishment elephants. Bannon is out there saying that mcconnell demanded no more “drain the swamp” talk. What a stinking bastard mcconnell is!
It has become obvious to all, at best Ryan and McCONnell are not leaders, at worst stupid. It is likely a smattering of both.
Trump should make a demand: either you quit, or I’ll ask the RNC not to help fund your campaign, and if they do, I’ll campaign against you for your primary opponent.
In our current situation, there is basically no difference in dealing with Chuck and Nancy than with Ryan and Mitch. Each swamp dweller is representing their respective Big Tech, Big Media, Wall Street and Corporate interests, not those of the American people.
I hope Trump is leveraging their competing interests against one another (manipulating them) to move his agenda forward.
Are Chuck and Nancy more trustworthy that Ryan and Turtle Boy?
Yes by a bunch. Ryan and Turtle Boy are back stabbing disruptive pieces of crap that pretend to be on our side but want like no other to see this President and his agenda fail.
Kinda puts a damper on the “Partisan politics” accusations, no?
FIRE CONGRESS.
Then clawback their salaries, pensions and bennies.
The MSM is Soooo Happy there’s a couple of Hurricanes this week.
DT told the RINO’s either lead, follow or get the hell out of the way.
Great news we increased the debt!
That couch on the right? It’s been tainted. Call hazardous waste disposal.
Whoever penned the observation “making a deal with the devil” sure knew what they were talking about as it relates to this particular situation!
Just shows how useless lyin ryan and the painted turtle are.

O.K., let’s see, what has Donnie Nation-wide actually done, besides nominate a judge?
Get ready for 3 more years of orange Obama with funny hair. Enjoy, ex-“conservatives”!
