I think, and I could be wrong, but I think President Trump has been conned by some of his own hand picked advisors . . . many of whom are stealth swamp creatures! He apparently has no idea of how our system of government really works. I couldn't believe he actually wants Congress to give him line item veto power, a power nowhere contained in our Constitution and actually declared unconstitutional, not to mention it was rejected by our founders during the convention of 1787!
In respect to such a power, Benjamin Franklin, on June 4th of the Convention of 1787, reminds the delegates how they suffered under that power and why it should not be given to the president. Franklin says:
'”The negative of the governor was constantly made use of to extort money. No good law whatever could be passed without a private bargain with him. An increase of salary or some donation, was always made a condition; till at last, it became the regular practice to have orders in his favor on the treasury presented along with the bills to be signed, so that he might actually receive the former before he should sign the latter. When the Indians were scalping the Western people, and notice of it arrived, the concurrence of the governor in the means of self-defense could not be got, until it was agreed that the people were to fight for the security of his property, whilst he was to have no share of the burdens of taxation.''
Trump had the power to stop this omnibus thievery Bill in the bud ___ a bill filled with $ Billions upon $ Billions of unconstitutional appropriations, including the funding of sanctuary cities ___ and he chose to submit to such tyranny!
Let us not forget that we were warned against yielding even an inch to the cause of tyranny!
"When a free people submit to oppressive acts, passed in violation of their constitution, for a single day, they have thrown down the palladium of their liberty. Submit to despotism for an hour and you concede the principle. John Adams said, in 1775, Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud. It is the only thing a people determined to be free can do. Republics have often failed, and have been succeeded by the most revolting despotisms; and always it was the voice of timidity, cowardice, or false leaders counseling submission, that led to the final downfall of freedom. It was the cowardice and treachery of the Senate of Rome that allowed the usurper to gain power, inch by inch, to overthrow the Republic. The history of the downfall of Republics is the same in all ages. The first inch that is yielded to despotism __ the first blow, dealt at the Constitution, that is not resisted is the beginning of the end of the nations ruin." ___ THE OLD GUARD, A MONTHLY JOURNAL DEVOTED TO THE PRINCIPLES OF 1776 AND 1787

Without a Fifth Column Media, Yellow Journalism, Hollywood, and a corrupted FBI, Loretta Lynch, Hillary Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama, would be making license tags in a federal penitentiary
lmao are you kidding? This is the forum where people commonly talked about obama being gay and michelle being a transexual. get over yourself. I would comment on your political leanings, most of which are probably anti-liberty, but I honestly don't know them, since all you post about is sports, your homemade conspiracy theories, and culture war bs. you really don't have much going on in that brain of yours
He seemed to have a sound, working knowledge of how it works when he got government grants to build his private, for profit buildings. Which was very much his habit, especially early when he was developing the PennCentral property in NYC.
Daddy Fred taught him exactly how it works. You pay your kickbacks, you get taxpayer money to build your private property. Simple enough for even a Trump to understand.
Pure alt-right. About as collectivist as it gets.
This is REAL JOURNALISM!

'The Donald' has fully capitulated. There is a fair amount of resistance, but it's being contained by the mods. All this talk about DJT being one man being surrounded by the Swamp is utter nonsense. As CiC, he still possesses the biggest soapbox on the planet. He could have raised holy hell with a few 'illuminating' press conferences if he wanted to. Maybe even brought Rand along as the primary instructor.
LMAO
I didn't vote...
Won't be much longer now
danno will be the only one defending trump ...Maybe nclib too.
Face it RPFs...no one here is as smart as danno and trump
You can't win...resistance is futile.
Just think...Just barely over a year into it?...wait till the real trump emerges.
We have to pass it ...
So we can spend the money how we really want to...
Sure he will.

If there's one undeniable truth that Trump has proven about himself by now, it's that he's a terrible negotiator.
He's a bluffer. Again and again, he bluffs. And people are calling his bluffs now, and he's got no backup plan.
Aren't you the same guy who thought that his tariffs would make China reduce their tariffs, rather than increase them like they actually did, like everyone besides you knew they would?
Partisan politics, misleading or emotional bill titles, and 4D chess theories are manifestations of the same lie—that the text of the Constitution, the text of legislation, and plain facts do not matter; what matters is what you want to believe. From this comes hypocrisy. And where hypocrisy thrives, virtue recedes. Without virtue, liberty dies. - Justin Amash, March 2018
Fail on so many levels.
If this was just a “test” as some here believe then Trump massively misunderstands how hard it is to reverse bad policy once it is affirmed in Washington. This level of negligence is unbelievable. If he is the chess master he surely could have devised a trial of lesser importance to sus out his enimies.
Also where is this “great, the best team, the best people” that we’ve heard so much about? This whole team could be bothered to read a bill for Trump if he won’t read it himself!!?
I’m wordering if this is:
1) betrayal by negligence?
2) betrayal by ineptitude?
3) planned betrayal?
4) betrayal/lack of principles?

I didn't hear anybody here calling for the impeachment of your 2x voting choice for that.

Man, dude; you are really, really, really bad at this trolling. Don't quit your day job!

Disrupt, Deny, Deflate. Read the RPF trolls' playbook here (post #3): http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthr...eptive-members
Nancy Pelosi be like "Slow down Mr President. You don't have to give us everything in one day."
The only silver lining I can see in this ridiculous spending bill is the medical marijuana rider. According to the media, Jeff Sessions is still trying to crack down on the states' legalization of medical weed.
As was literally just explained, the FIX NICS Amendment incentivizes states to provide records on who is prohibited under current law from owning a firearm.
The 4473 Question 11.e asks:
Marijuana is classified currently as Schedule I meaning that regardless of what states say, it is unlawful to use the substance, with or without a card.Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana, or any depressant, stimulant, or narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?
The ATF has already affirmed this and the SCOTUS has established precedent which affirms the same thing.
If you answer 11.e as 'Yes,' you will be denied a firearm purchase. If you answer it as, 'No' and you have a Medical Marijuana Card you have perjured yourself on a Federal Form.
What all of this means is that when you get a Medical Card you relinquish your 2nd Amendment Rights. When Fix NICS is up there will be millions of new prohibited possessors and instant felons.
How exactly does some Amendment with no real footing, which even missed four of the fifty states, trump the injustice which will be done to marijuana users once the NICS background check system is more complete?
