The great Palestinian Hanan Ashrawi, whose group was sponsoring Tlaib's trip to the West Bank, has been denied a visit to her grandchildren in the U.S. by the Trump government. https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/u-s-...uest-1.7238219

Even the "left wing" media has declined to connect the dots.

A. The president has tremendous influence on the budget. As a veto would have torpedoed the huge spending bill, Trumps lack of a veto shows he is just to lazy to fight this battle.
The budget document often begins with the President's proposal to Congress recommending funding levels for the next fiscal year, beginning October 1 and ending on September 30 of the year following. The fiscal year refers to the year in which it ends. However, Congress is the body required by law to pass appropriations annually and to submit funding bills passed by both houses to the President for signature. Congressional decisions are governed by rules and legislation regarding the federal budget process. Budget committees set spending limits for the House and Senate committees and for Appropriations subcommittees, which then approve individual appropriations bills to allocate funding to various federal programs.[2]

If Congress fails to pass an annual budget, then several appropriations bills must be passed as "stop gap" measures. After Congress approves an appropriations bill, it is then sent to the President, who may either sign it into law or veto it. A vetoed bill is sent back to Congress, which can pass it into law with a two-thirds majority in each legislative chamber. Congress may also combine all or some appropriations bills into one omnibus reconciliation bill. In addition, the president may request and the Congress may pass supplemental appropriations bills or emergency supplemental appropriations bills

It appears that President Trump and Congress have reached a deal to increase the debt limit and a two-year budget that will substantially increase the yearly federal deficit. Besides throwing aside any semblance of budget restraint by either political party, it will create $1 trillion plus budget deficits for as long as the eye can see.


B. He has the foreign policy that Robert Taft wanted in 1952. Luckily, Eisenhower got the nomination. Was Eisenhower a "Rino"?

Also, name legislation that the Freedom Caucus has sponsored. They are negative do-nothings, who simply grandstand for Trump whenever possible.

Commenting on your last sentence would be too easy.

Thanks for playing

Maybe many on the left are sick of this charade as well?

My comments...

Surprisingly AOC seems to have revealed herself as the least-dumb Squad member. I have a feeling Speaker Pelosi got some advice through her thick skull. I'm impressed.

I think this trip to "Palestine" was a setup by the two dumbest Squad members. When you look at all the surrounding circumstances, it appears like they wanted to be banned from going... With going and bitching being their alternate plan.

The truly wonderful part of this story is we have a President that knows how to fight back. First, he artfully and effectively put a spotlight on their anti-Semitism. Then he sat back while Democrats lined up to position themselves as fellow anti-Semites. Take it from a lifelong NYC resident (with plenty of Jews living here) the actions by these hateful people WILL DO NOTHING TO MOTIVATE JEWS TO SUPPORT DEMOCRATS. President Trump is steadily eroding Jewish support for the Democrat party; and framing himself as the true supporter of Israel. Love it!

Such a HIT for President Trump, this should be in his HIT thread!

Some of the most recent quotes and tweets by "the great?" Hanan Ashrawi.

"The U.S. and Greenblatt in particular are nothing more than a self-appointed advocate/apologist for Israel!"

"Hamas and those involved in violence against Israel are just Palestinians w/bad judgment. They are not terrorists."

"I have no respect for the enablers of this inhuman condition in Palestine nor for its apologists, such as the United States."

Yeah - Can't imagine why we wouldn't want her to visit the country.

I dont know why you guys are so against them going to Israel. I personally encourage it. Not only that I hope they go there and talk that shit in public. Then let Darwinism take its course. Think Harlem scence from Die Hard 3.
