Say what you mean and mean what you say!
I have no problem with President Trump being mean!

I think most people in America would feel better if Schummer issued a statement on the matter!

Billions will be saved. Tax bill is almost paid for. I hope the announcement of cutting funding comes before this weekend.

If the US halted all foreign aid tomorrow, including to Israel, it still wouldn't come close to paying for the tax bill.

They also oppose the UN Resolution passed in 1967 which basically recognized West Jerusalem as Israel.

I agree with the 128 countries. This was just intended to piss people off. It serves no purpose.

Should a country *not* be allowed to name their own capital if it's within their territory?

he's a lawyer.....I didn't get it either....

especially since he was one of the original DJT supporters....

Meh, one can support DJT and not agree with everything he does. I'll not hold it against him.

I'm in hyper type mode right now.....I could have phrased it better....

I'm not holding it against him.....

it's simply another campaign promise he kept.....

that should surprise nobody at this point....

Bill Clinton and George W. Bush made the same promise but didn't keep it.

Static vs Dynamic scoring. Soooo much more involved than just US giving money away.

Also Obama. That’s two people. Bush and Clinton have both their feet in the same sock.

Obama didn't make the promise. He showed no pretense of hiding his dislike of Israel.

It's the truth though.

$50.1 billion in foreign aid... yep, cut it!

Frick every damn one of them. Cut them off.

Millions for defense not one cent for tribute.

Frick all of them. They can't do shite and we don't owe the world a dime.

Obamas fault for his anti Israel stance for last 8 years

50 billion dollars. WTF

Tariffs. Glad to see Mexico and Canada not vote against their future prosperity.
