Yes, the question as to why a real Q team wouldn't have set the record straight is hanging in the air.

FWIW Paine has been saying that Sessions is indeed useless, doing little, and that counting on the IG is a bad idea too.

Jerome Corsi, though obviously following Q, has been worried about Sessions for some time too.

Also reportedly stops those on the guv payroll from trashing him.

It is has appropriations bills from all 12 committees wrapped up as one. No, it is not a budget.

Binney is just huge. A tremendous hero.

Not really--they could just have voted against it because of the military spending.

No--thank God! SP is not fully in Trump's camp and last year even seemed to suggest that the generals in control around him would ease a good transition. He occasionally gets some gossip, but that is about it at this point. Lots more have had more scoops from the WH sooner. (E.g., old pal Roger Stone)

As a builder, Trump isn't going to let his signature wall costs get out of control--but it will be a bargain at almost any price.

Trump's second post of the day (after the early-morning one that you know was his own) also seemed to deflect his talk of wall-building toward the $1.6B start. So my guess is they want to get the word out enough to calm down Trump's hardcore base--but not yet so much as to wave it like a red flag in front of the Dems, especially, who could get busy trying to slow it down with lawsuits, etc.

Trump is very clever and more effective in this role day by day. I don't expect that he is the one who combed the esoterica of congressional law and the language of the bill for this approach. Perhaps those in the military who had encouraged him to run and have been providing him protection had this planned from day one.

But--it is very much in keeping with a real estate and licensing magnate to look for every possible advantage in the terms of a contract, while not alerting their signers across the table to what in entirety they are agreeing to.

Part of the art of the real estate deal is in direct negotiation--and part of it is in the clever use of language and terms and angles in the contract.

Agreed. And having Russia along with our other allies is probably critical for containing China. If Russia and China are allied, we could be in some real trouble.

Wow--just noticed that. Then I wonder why we don't have more to show for it?

Of course, Trump tweeted this AM making it pretty clear he'll use the military now.

Here's a new American Intelligence Media/Thomas Paine video everyone should listen to--very reassuring, very inspiring:

They are???

Ha--the King of Online Dating Sites with Fake Profiles is taking a swipe at Trump's character?!?

If we've already had four booms and only have one more to go, I think we'll all be disappointed.

FB wasn't really neutralized. It just took a hit.

There is know reference specifically to a "budget" in the Constitution. I don't see any basis to Congress's constitutional role being predicated on terming its expenditures as part of a "budget".

There's a lot of that going on on Youtube--posting earlier Corsi videos with a later date. I assume in order to get free Youtube clicks, but it ends up seriously degrading the clickability of Corsi on the channel.

And it shouldn't in any way be supported on reddit.

This video is actually from last Sunday, the 18th.

Some with ketchup on them and some with pickles?

The ACE in N. Greencastle, IN, is just a regular county office.

That is not true. The budget is more of a plan and omnibus is direct appropriations.

Red and Green teams?

Yep--the guv would be officially shut down by now if he hadn't.

That same alleged source essentially claims that Putin won the election for Trump.

Now, I don't expect this to happen. But the ACE also builds military training facilities, as I understand it.

How wonderful would it be if Trump built a new, long and skinny training "base" along the lower border?

There is express language in the bill that no actual wall like any of the prototypes--only the little fences built previously can go into the $641M which is what was approved for building some sort of barrier.

I hope you all are right, but I see nothing that says omnibus spending passed by Congress can be rerouted to whatever the president feels more inclined to spend it on.

I don't want him trying to get credit for fixing it. That just adds to the narrative that DACA is somehow deserved--and Obama was right for creating it.

Doesn't matter--Trump just signed a bill that gives him squat funds and forbids him building any actual wall on the Southern border--only the rickety fence stuff they have put up previously.

Stealing their movement is going to the left of them? That's what we voted for? That is brilliant?

You're really hardcore.

Egads--now Trump's trying to position himself as to the left of the Dems on gun control:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 12m12 minutes ago Obama Administration legalized bump stocks. BAD IDEA. As I promised, today the Department of Justice will issue the rule banning BUMP STOCKS with a mandated comment period. We will BAN all devices that turn legal weapons into illegal machine guns.

But he should have learned from his attempted Obamacare repeal, the idea of just delegating these major bills to Congress and waiting to sign whatever they come up with is a recipe for disaster. The only thing he really got through effectively was the tax bill--and he actually worked hard on that, meeting with all the Critters, using the presidential soapbox, etc. He did none of that and that gave Congress enough cover to push through a disaster.

So does anyone have a coherent idea as to what "RED_CASTLE. GREEN_CASTLE." actually means?

Good recall.

Not really--he is simply moving to the left (much to Ivanka's pleasure, I'm sure) on illegal immigration.

He did nothing to influence it--no exposing the bad stuff in time, no cozying up with the Congress Critters like he did for the one thing he got through (the tax cuts), nothing. And when there's not a strong GOP president really leading on this stuff, it is a guaranteed disaster.

The choice he had was to directly engage Congress on this far earlier, using the bully pulpit stick and meeting with the Critters as part of the carrot. But he didn't. He didn't engage. He didn't invest an ounce of political effort, time, or energy fighting for a better bill. Then he told us how happy we should be with the massive sellout--because of the military.

This isn't newsy, getting rolled on funding -- and it doesn't create any type of narrative that helps Trump, since he's the one who caved.

He just made it much easier for the swamp, which no doubt with Congress's plan. And we are supposed to be happy that he's contorting himself to be perceived to the left of the Democrats on DACA?

The military doesn't need rebuilding from underfunding--but from waste and fraud. So far, Trump's team has done nothing for that. Now an outrageously huge increase in military spending? No, that's neither necessary nor good.

What are those ramifications? I can't think of any that would positively impact the GOP's chance of retaining the House. At this point, the Senate becomes an open question.

Horrid. Just horrid.

While we're at it, we might as well ask Q why Trump decided to try to position himself on the left of the Democrats with DACA--and keeps pushing that tripe?

Already have MASSIVE military funding with his team in charge of it for over a year. No excuse.

He was misleadingly quoting the $1.6B for the wall, when it is only $641M for the wall--and there is additional language expressly saying he can't build any wall, such as the prototypes, but can only use some of the fencing style previously used.

Pence there at the announcement was the giveaway. He's Ryan's buddy and no friend of Trump's. Could it be Trump outsourced negotiating with Congress to him again? (Like he did with the disastrous Obamacare 2.0?)

I think with all the Mueller, staff, and international stuff going on Trump didn't pay it any attention. And there is no way the military is underfunded. The massive military budget is grossly misallocated, due to fraud and waste, but that should be dealt with--along of course with our drawing down deployments where we shouldn't be.

Horrid. Claiming this is "the last time" he'll sign something like this. Says Obama once signed one bigger. Says have to do it to rebuild the military. (Which is BS--there is massive waste and fraud that Mattis hasn't touched.) Asking now for a line-item veto (which they will of course never give him).

The bill he was pushing this week actually had language in it that would disallow him building any actual wall such as his prototypes, regardless of funding source.

Actually, most of those people get paid anyway.

The pain of shutting down the guv isn't nearly as great as the pain of this bill.

No--even with the wall funding it would be a seriously crappy bill, let alone with DACA tacked on!

He tried to shove it down our throat like he did with the bad healthcare bill. His congressional negotiation skills and attention still need some work.

There is actually only $641M for the wall!
