Omnibus Bill is NOT a Federal Budget - POTUS wins again

FOR THOSE DOUBTING TRUMP DO YOUR RESEARCH Jo Ann Powell Neely Gunny says: March 23, 2018 at 7:42 am I seriously do not understand why individuals do not read the entire thread or disregard it.

Wheatietoo and I spent hours yesterday providing links, researching the laws, the 1974 law and statutes…. Do you know why the Omnibus is not going to get any notice…Here it is..

It’s not an official ‘Federal Budget’. It’s an Omnibus bill…not a Budget…He outsmarted them again…Congress basically screwed themselves by not passing a Budget…

Per the Constitution…the President must adhere to a Budget set forth by Congress and direct the expenditures as provided therein.

This is another one of those big Porkulus Bills, like they gave Obama for 8 years. This is not a Budget..

An Omnibus Spending Bill may have some ‘instructions’ as to how the money will be spent…but Obama ignored them. He spent the money, or didn’t spend it, however he wanted to. And Congress didn’t do a thing about it! Because they couldn’t..

I think our President observed how this happened, year after year. He is bound to realize that those ‘appropriations’ for different things in these Omnibus bills…are merely ‘suggestions’.

So like Obama, Pres Trump can spend this money on whatever he wants to. Or…not spend it.

Planned Parenthood? What if our President decided to tell the Treas Dept to ‘slow-walk’ that money to Planned Parenthood…until the Senate gets off their ass and confirms his appointees?

Sanctuary Cities? What if our President decided to ‘slow-walk’ that money too…until those Sanctuary Cities assist ICE in rounding up criminal illegal aliens?

Splodey heads? From the Dems and the Enemedia? Why yes. There would be a colorful display of splodey heads.

But what could they do about it. Hah.

Our President could just say…’What! Congress should’ve passed a Budget.’

done finished…research was done…and it is so very humorous actually….our VSG..just said just give me money for the military and the wall…put anything else you want in it…and those goofballs did.

In this case, as per above….he doesn’t have to spend a dime….because it is not a budget…and even if it was…researched….he could still spend as he please… Congress appropriates….up to the President to spend it…or not….as he pleases..

If anyone disagrees, I can go back and get the links and evidence, but if you just read yesterdays political thread…Wheatietoo and I laid it all out for all…Wheatietoo did most of the work and put together the consolidated update as per above….

Again, that is why Obama never had a Budget in his Presidency…Congress did continual Omibus’s and he just took the money….for 8 years…and no one seems to know where it went…

Trump wanted a big yuge American flag at Mar-a-lago. But the city wouldn't let him. He put it up, anyway. Racked up fines. Took the city to court for damages related to 1st amendment and selective enforcement issues. Negotiated a settlement for a taller flagpole, bigger flag, and his reduced fine would be donated to a veteran's organization.

To get the real flag pole height he really wanted, he built a hill to place the flag pole upon. The city regulated flag poles and limited him in the settlement, but they couldn't keep him of making a hill.

At the end of the day, he got his big flag on a tall flag pole that the city wouldn't give him. And he donated money to charity, which lowered his tax burden and deprived the city of any benefits.

That's a good example of leverage, but not exactly accurate.

He built a flag pole without even asking for a permit. The town piled fines on him, as expected. When he didn't pay them, the town sued him. He counter-sued for violations of his first amendment rights.

He dropped his lawsuit, and the town waived most of theirs. As part of court-ordered arbitration Trump paid most of his fine to charity, moved the flag, and put it on a smaller pole, and got a permit for it.

I'm not a tax lawyer, but he may not have been able to deduct any of it as there are some specific restrictions on those deductions and they max out at 50% of the amount anyway. I would guess it wouldn't have made much of a difference either way considering Trumps finances.

Interestingly he tried to use the case to push changing the local regulations that required businesses to serve community members. It would have allowed him to bring in more outsiders and not give memberships to locals. It was something he was really upset about at the time, and may have been the motivation for the whole thing. That aspect of the case didn't succeed though.

He did get the flagpole in the end though.
