#1 After Hurricane Harvey hit Texas and Louisiana and now the most powerful in history headed to Florida and who knows what other states, you gotta compromise until you can get spending under control again. The Dems wanted 18 months, they got 3 and just enough increase to keep things going til then.

#2 The man looked and saw and said I could be President in a year. The man looked and saw and said in a year and a half, I will have to work with these people.

#3 I see this as a serious kick in the shorts to the (R) folks in Congress.

If you're not going to do anything, we'll work with the competition to get something done. Kind of like if you aren't going to finish my roof that you started, I'll get another company that will, plus give them credit for the whole job.

If or when your attitude changes, we'll reconsider.

#4 If the Repubs pass DACA and not repeal Obamacare, they had better beware of pissed off voters -- like ME!I am proud Trump went around Ryan and McConnell -- they have NOT delivered what they promised.

#7 There is an article that claims Trump has reduced the debt by 100 billion during his first 6 months. Debt. I think debt reduction is in his wheelhouse after this spate of hurricanes. As Hupeting Sforza8196 said.

#8 Trump has revealed the GOPe for what they are, and they'll never forgive him.

#10 I wonder if the debt ceiling has ever, even just once, resulted in fiscal restraint? If not, then Trump is right to avoid the annual histrionics of increasing it.

#12 Yeah, it's next to impossible to tell from the results but it seems Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan think of themselves as leaders.

#13 I think of McConnell and Ryan as Worm Tongue and Gollum.

Simple mis-spelling of 'Republican leadershit'. Just a typo...
