James Woods Blasts Trump, ‘RINO Wimps’ Over Omnibus Budget Surrender

[edpc]

And who would that be?

There are few surviving sources about the reign of Caligula, although he is described as a noble and moderate emperor during the first six months of his rule. After this, the sources focus upon his cruelty, sadism, extravagance, and sexual perversion, presenting him as an insane tyrant.


Gee....it’s really tough to tell.

Nah.  I'd have more respect for your "doubts" if you'd place your disapproval where it belongs ... on Ryan and McConnell.  But then again, they are NT leaders, so silly me.

Who the hell campaigned for Ryan and McConnell to lead congress shortly after he won the election???

Trump did!

We pointed that out the day he did it. That if he was going to drain the swamp that was completely the wrong thing to do. And this is why. Your excuses ring hollow in the face of the truth.

Even more recently, at the January meeting in Camp David.  The very same meeting, in fact, where he also announced Gary Cohn would be sticking around.


Trump told reporters after meeting GOP House and Senate leaders at Camp David on Saturday that he’s planning a robust schedule of campaigning for the 2018 midterm elections and that includes involvement in the Republican primaries. He’ll campaign for incumbents, he said, and “anybody else that has my kind of thinking.”

Defensive much?

@Right_in_Virginia
No I responded to your allegations in an intellectually honest way.  But you?  Unable to answer the question much?  I expected no less.

I should do the work to prove your point @Axeslinger ?  Well, this is simply adorable thinking.   

[catfish1957]

Exactly..Trump missed a huge opportunity by not sticking to his guns and forcing Congress to fix this....his base would have been overjoyed along with those of us who want to curb spending.

IF he spent as much time working with solutions with congress say versus stirring up Twitter shit storms.....   who knows......

@Right_in_Virginia
No you poor foolish creature, you should defend your own point!  As you castigate others, I merely asked for you to show your own intellectual honesty and show ONE incident where you voiced disagreement with Trump.  You throw your BS barbs at those of us who disagree with Trump but HAVE been intellectualky honest enough to give him credit.  Where are your examples of being anything OTHER than another silly sycophant?

[XenaLee]

I wouldn't mind the Twitter S-storms.... as long as.... the major importance issues ... like curbing spending on pork projects, while funding actual necessary items like the military, get handled.

For Trump to say "he had to" sign this ... yet another piece of crap legislation....

is just yet another lameass copout from him, IMO.

[XenaLee]

There is an urgency..eight years of Obama decimated the military...waiting just a couple more days wouldn't have changed a thing.

Take it to the people Trump..you have the bully pulpit..use it!

He only ever seems to use that bully pulpit (his version is Twitter, of course).... on petty, juvenile and childish feuds.   He just proved that... when it comes down to the adult version of getting things done FOR America  (vs. TO America)....

he is MIA and prone to let us down.... just like the lameazz GOP always does.

No you poor foolish creature, ....

I assure you @Axeslinger I am not poor. Nor am I foolish ... and thus the rest of your post is irrelevant.

Enjoy!

Oh bless your heart...still too dishonest to defend your position...I would think, given your already sullied reputation here, that you would leap at the opportunity to prove us all wrong.  Bless your heart.

[LadyLiberty]

At least Trump kept his promise to reach across the aisle and work with Schumer and Pelosi.

[jpsb]

Nobody screamed about Obama's $11Trillion, with a 'T'...so who's going to sweat this BS number, if it's going to become 'Exhibit A' come October???   

I did and I am screaming now about the 2 trillion Trump is adding every year, thus far. Debt is a
far grater threat to us than Iran will ever be.

We’ve traded blows before, but I would like to go out of my way to thank you for the intellectual honesty you’ve demonstrated beautifully on this thread.

And at this rate, Trump will surpass Obama's spending easily.

Remember how the Soviet Union was defeated... They basically were bankrupted in the arms race. It wasn't bullets that did them in, it was balance sheets.

I'd like to second what @Axeslinger here just posted.  Yesterday was a tough day for the supporters of the President (many were aloof), and you put your chin out and braved the slings and arrows.  Kudos to you, sir, you have earned much respect.  Walk tall.

[DCPatriot]

Sincerely hoping that Pres. Trump can 'sell' his reasoning on the signed Omni-BS, to his base.

It's not like him at all.   ....to directly go back on his main campaign promise(s).

Something must be up.

You have to be kidding, right? It is exactly in his nature. On almost every position you find on him, he has taken 3-4 different positions on, often within a short period of time, and famously on Obamacare, at least 3 different positions during one debate.

This is a man who brags in his most famous book that he will lie to your face to close a deal, and then gives several examples of how he lied to close deals.

This is his nature.

@DCPatriot don’t you see THAT is the problem? You approach this from the POV of “hoping” that he can “sell” a reason to you.   That is exactly what those of us who criticize him have been lamenting to you lo these many months.   Why reduce yourself to fealty to this man who puts his pants on one leg at a time just like you?  Remove the rose colored glasses and SEE.  Don’t wait for him to tell you what to see!

Wow, I think I need another Irish Whiskey. I like just about every poster here. Even the one I've
butted heads with. This is a very good forum. I am happy to be here. This place reminds me of
the old days at FR where ideas were what counted not insults. Yeah we throw a lot of mud here
too but most will take the time to respond intelligently.

I like the Mods here better.  If you step over the line and get slapped, they'll respond to your PMs most of the time, and never suspend your posting privileges for having the audacity of merely trying to ask them about it.  At TOS you're somehow supposed to automatically "know" what the infraction was.

No way he can sell this. He caved and threw us under the bus. There is no way around that.
The only way he wins back his base is by admitting he screwed up and declaring war on the GOP
leadership that negotiated this horrible bill.

As I've posted on Twitter, no one stand in the breach for a coward and Trump is not looking
like a profile in courage right now. He needs to be the man we voted for and not another
swamp thing.
