So, Trump decided to sign the universally hated omnibus spending bill that also contains the privacy-breaching Cloud Act on the same day as he announces that he's ordering the Department of Justice to ban bump stocks. SMH. These are not the values that we the people elected Trump to represent. Democracy is dead in America; it's clear that the military-industrial complex runs the country now, and nothing short of a revolution will be able to change that.

Is it that much of a surprise?

Republican voters elected someone who isn't a Republican...

He won the election on promising a big spending bill. And he signed it. I'd hardly call that a betrayal.

Oh no, the banning of bump stocks. How awful.

Now it will take leon longer to kill his victims when he goes on his inevitable murder-suicide rampage. So inefficient and sad.

"We the people"... "democracy"... Where were you when he lost the popular vote and was made president by the undemocratic (yet still perfectly legal/constitutional) Electoral College?

Uh, I am impressed leon isnt just a slack jawed yes man like most trump bungholers

That bill is trash, I’m mad too. I am going to wait and see how things play out because we’ve had other examples of this happening before.
For his faults he’s still our only real ally.

Hahahahahah

Please avoid accusing each other of being violent criminals.

He promised increasing infrastructure spending, not military spending. This is clearly the work of the military-industrial complex, and I'd bet my life that it has some dirt on him.


@Eden What's the point of having an ally who talks the big talk but caves to every demand from the swamp.

I don’t think we watched the same campaign two years ago

Leon, how sane is it to put any trust at all in a constantly lying shithead with dark brown values?

What's a dark brown value when it's at home?

A warm and comfortable dark brown value, i'd assume.

At this point, I don't think it really matters who the President is. The deep state has full control over this country.

It is those embarrassing values that lead to decline in tourism:

No big surprise to me as also I am boycotting that nation until he is out...

I suppose this is one way of coping with the fact that you backed someone who strays from your values but you had projected your own onto him. How did you feel when he said the lack of support for DACA in the bill was a major reason he was considering veto-ing the omnibus?

But Federal policies don't mean nearly as much as people give them credit for. I've been focusing more and more on local and state policies because those impact people day to day.

Ok to be very explicit. In the Swedish language we associate "Brown values" with Mussolini and Franco. Dark brown is an extension of that.
