You disagree?

Reconciliation
Congressional Budget Act of 1974, and it essentially expedites Senate consideration of bills pertaining to the budget—sidestepping the legendary power of the Senate filibuster and constraining debate to 20 hours.
This is how it was passed without a single vote from the right. The exact same way it will be repealed.

Logically less than 8 since that would move us into the "months" category.

Candidate Trump faking being Presidential..

Initial got released today, but who knows when it can get through Congress since the dimwits are trying to slow everything to a crawl.

Here is exactly where you and many of your ilk fail big time.
Donald J. Trump is a centrist who loves the United States of America, you guys do not. And is exactly why that you do not have the votes in the Congress to do anything.

My my, when you speak the truth about our President being a centrist and that he loves our country it is either the truth or it is not.
And when I say that a voting block has zero power in the Congress it is either truth or it is not. No one is ever going to trade you his hand for yours, that is the point of contention. That is why the Congress is moving forward with the Trump agenda, to not would mean in our time we would be like Venezuela and all of its problems.
The one thing that is 100% real and true is we here on this BBS have zero effect on the outcome and what comes to be, get a grip and grow up.

Venezuela?
Anybody who compares the United States to a third world country has never spent one minute in a third world country.(Resorts and cruise ship terminals don't count)
Exaggerating problems is the best way to never solving them.Because when people perceive that scare tactics are being used, they simply tune out the prophets of doom.

That's not what you said in post 263. If it was, Barn32 wouldn't have pulled a Donny Boy.

Gee, the little puke must have taken his meds during the filming.
Nice he can use his illness for personal gain when it serves his pathetic liberal agenda.
