Trump needs to take the hint.  The republicans are just not that into him.

Actually, the Republicans are just not that into doing what's right for Americans.  :shrug:
Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

Words first uttered here by me sometime around Jan. 20, 2017. Nothing has changed.

The quickest way to drain the Swamp would be to balance the budget (which any President can do without Congress).  Wouldn't it be nice to have $2 trillion sitting in the Treasury at the end of the fiscal year while Democrat campaign coffers go empty?

Republicans are their own worst enemies.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

The Executive Branch alone is in charge of spending money.  The Legislative Branch is in charge of appropriating the money to be spent.

The Executive Branch does not have to spend money appropriated by the Legislative Branch.  That is a power they hold.

The Executive Branch cannot spend money that the Legislative Branch does not appropriate.  That is a power  that the Legislative Branch holds.

Ok! Thanks! I agree.
