    Zorro, you and your conspiracies. McMullin was in it for himself not the Orange Moron.

    BluesGuy, your posts are based on your opinionated partisanship. No one has to refute them until you have actual supported facts to present, so snap to it.

    Bush and the GOP created the Great Recession. That is proven fact. The opposition rebuttals have all been dropped in the trash chute.

    [I corrected BluesGuy slicing on my original post by restoring it.}

    You have not posted facts, only opinions.

    When you can factually support them, then they can be rebutted.

    All that is need right now is to point out, imo, your opinions are wrong.

    Senate roll of honor for opposing omnibus.

    When I saw the bill passed the Senate, I feared the worst — that conservative heroes like Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Ron Johnson, Tom Cotton, or Cory Gardner had abandoned their principles. Here's the roll on the vote.

    Remember these honored names:

    Sen.s Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), John Kennedy (R-La.), Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.), Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), David Perdue (R-Ga.), John Barasso (R-Wy.), Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Mike Crapo (R-Id.), Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Cory Gardner (R-Colo.), Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Mike Enzi (R-Wy.), Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), James Lankford (R-Okla.), James Risch (R-Idaho), EVEN JEFF FLAKE (R-Ariz.) voted against it.

    Meanwhile, Republican sellouts:

    Sen.s: Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), John Boozman (R-Ark.), Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.V.), Thad Cochran (R-Miss.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), John Cornyn (R-Texas), Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), Dean Heller (R-Nev.), John Hoeven (R-N.D.), Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.), Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Rob Portman (R-Ohio), Pat Roberts (R-Kan.), Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Richard Shelby (R-Ala.), John Thune (R-S.D.), Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), Todd Young (R-Ind.).

    Republicans borrow and spend.
    Democrats tax and spend.

    As for the wall? Why fully fund something that is going to have to fight through about three years of legal lawsuits by every environmental group in the country before it can build more than a few hundred feet anyway. Do Republicans think this is going to be any easier than getting the pipeline built?

    What part of "Build that WALL!" didn't you get?

    Money is a challenging concept for liberals, we know. But try to imagine how much income was lost when Carrier did not move to Mexico, and Ford cancelled plans to build cars there. Those changes represent a loss to Mexico and a gain to the US. There are at least 10 huge global corporations that are bringing work back to the USA because of Trump -- and that results in a loss of income to the host countries - including Mexico.

    And Hillary wouldn't have signed this Bill?

    Despite this boondoggle Donald Trump is still the superior candidate - and person.

    You really don't get it.

    His campaign promise was that Mexico would pay for the wall. That Mexico would write a check to America. His campaign website gave a very specific plan on how he was going to make that happen.

    He hasn't taken one step towards doing that.
