Oh shite. What if Trump's threat to veto was to bait the dem senators into passing it, before they read it, in hopes of pinning the shut down on Trump?



That's what the folks in the Q thread seem to be hinting at. Trump played them with this massive bill, sneaking all kinds of stuff in it they would never otherwise consent to, and then having it rammed through seemingly over his objections before anyone could read anything. (the bill has over twice as many pages as they were given minutes to read through it before voting on it).

I'm not sure I believe that, but it seems like something Trump would do. It's the equivalent of

People may be misinformed but your post is just a bunch of false information, so you're either misinformed, a liar, or both.

Wait, so you are suggesting this is worse than I thought?

We just gave a President a free check with merely "suggestions" on how to spend the money?

HOLY SHITE!!!

This gets even better with each passing hour.

Here is a trillion dollars, see to it how ya see fit. We have some suggestions though bro. Have fun. See ya at the end of the year.

PT Cucks in MAGA clothing were exposed for the sky screaming bitches they are.

They can't tell you why they are outraged, but they are!

It is easy to see how the dems gets all those purple haired gender queers to scream together by the dozens any time they get their fee fees hurt.

The grown ups have just been sitting back laughing all day. Very entertaining.

Trump got backed into a corner by GOP working with Dems to frick him over and signed a 6 month funding bill that sucks.

Weak willed posters here panicked and sky screamed.

The typical leftist filth proclaimed victory, hollow as it may be.

What’s the difference between a budget, Omnibus and a CR?
Policy Basics: Introduction to the Federal Budget Process

Continuing resolution

Appropriations bill

Omnibus spending bill

It seems pretty simple, bit this is my interpretation about the topics in general even though the processes are more detailed with more steps:

Budget—general funding framework for government including mandatory spending and discretionary spending, with specific allocations for the 12 appropriations committees. It's not legally binding.

Appropriation bills--annual legislation that appropriates discretionary funding for each of the 12 subcommittees. Each one is a separate bill.

Omnibus Appropriation Bills--an appropriation bill that takes all 12 appropriation bills and turns into one single appropriation bill

Continuing Resolution--an appropriations bill that just rolls over the previous appropriations bill(s).

Cliffs please.
In synopsis: He was going to be hit hard by the Mrs. come Sunday nigh.

In a week in which he's already tried taking over the airwaves, he hit it out of the park by jumping (not wading) into the deep end of the swamp. So instead of simply holding his breath till he turns red in the face and refuses to yield, he flipped off America because the whole world needs saving even more than we do. Big of the man wasn't it. And he did it with the stoke of a pen.

(possible sequel: I'm going to be a war time leader.)

(and for the trilogy:) didn't David play whore with Bathsheba too)
