Trump Signs $855 Billion Spending Bill, Averts Gov't Shutdown

Not even a single “Trump is cool”

Well me and @wonderingrover made an appearance. For what it is worth. To express our disgust for Cruz.

As for the spending. I’ve been lambasting the spending by Trump since the election. And by Congress for decades now. But I am clearly in the very small minority of people who actually cares about the debt, the deficit, and wanting to reign in spending. There were fellow posters who used to echo my concerns. But they have by and large proven themselves unprincipled hypocrites on this issue. Not all though. But the ranks are smaller and smaller all of the time.

So I can go to Yellowstone?

Sure, just make sure to go before Dec 7.

Why? Pearl Harbor?

No, that’s when this bill is due to run out.

In another thread one of the die-hards was defending it, saying it was “short-term.”

Conservatives were already an endangered species 10 years ago. They went the way of the dodo in 2016.
