The Washington D.C. Axis of Evil and the need for Article V Now

Its blatantly obvious Trump voters have been betrayed. Im not blaming President Trump, Im blaming Congress who just passed a boondoggle pork budget that goes counter to everything we voted for. It has the usual programs intact, plus several funding increases, the EPA, Planned Parenthood, Sanctuary Cities and not one cent towards The Wall. President Trump must be furious, as are we. Their excuse is "It's just part of the 2017 budget process, Trump will do 'his stuff' in the 2018 budget." I don't buy it. How many times have they kicked the can down the road before?

Its blatantly obvious the Senators and Representatives are hired, if you will, by the lobbyists, K-Street and their donors. They seem to work for them. Theyre only concern is to get re-elected, not their constituents and certainly not whats best for America. The MSM is giddy as are the K-Street lobbyists and other deep state operatives. WaPo ecstatic with this article: Eight ways Trump got rolled in his first budget negotiation Try and relax before you read this. Number 1 on the list is: 1. There are explicit restrictions to block the border wall.

I hope Trump vetoes the bill. We shall see. Its a real gotcha', What you gonna do President Trump? My take is a veto it and force a government shutdown. Isnt that better than giving in to Congress? There's also the factor the dems see this as a victory and now what will they do? Demand more concessions! Its what they do.

Trump understands all of this and has been the point man in the Drain the Swamp meme. The American people have to get a handle on the Axis of Evil that runs Washington D.C., namely, the donors, the lobbyists, K-Street and other special interest groups that constantly pull the strings of their particular puppet. Lets not forget the MSM who floods the media 24/7 with propaganda promoting the Axis of Evils agenda.

Somewhere along the line I hope there is an EO or some other process that deals with the Axis of Evil. Their intent is globalist, socialist and eventually a communist one world government. The other reason they dont rock the boat is a lot of the representative and senators become lobbyists when they leave public service. Greasing their connections ahead of time by going along to get along? What happened to the idealism of Mr. Smith goes to Washington? The deep state evidently is much deeper than we thought.

Obama got everything he wanted right out of the gate. His stimulus bill was written before the inauguration and passed soon after. Congress gave him everything he wanted. Anything socialist was fine. The national debt soared and last I checked were over 200 Trillion in unfunded liabilities. Where was the Obamacare repeal and replace bill? The Republicans had eight years to get it written and finalized. The Axis of Evil doesnt want it changed.

We have a huge fight on our hands. Trump gets it and is doing what he can to change it. Ive about given up calling the Congress critters, but will continue to do so.

I keep coming back to the only thing thats really going to fix this is an Article V Convention of States to propose Amendments to help drain the swamp. Congress certainly isn't going to propose self limiting amendments.

Great overviews of Article V: Mark Levin, Constitution Article V, and the Liberty Amendments, Jacqueries Article V Blog and the Convention of States Website Excellent resources.

For those who want to explore further, go to the FR Convention of States posts list: http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/conventionofstates/index?tab=articles and the following links list: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3547085/posts?page=36#36

Fight On to defeat the Washington D.C. Axis of Evil! We have taxation without representation. Is it time to water the tree of liberty again? Well see how President Trump handles this. Pray for him as he is David against Goliath. He needs our support, prayers and eternal vigilance.

As a sidebar, Chuck Schumer of New York just called the deal "a good agreement for the American people". He further said, Early on in this debate, Democrats clearly laid out our principles, [Schumer] said. At the end of the day, this is an agreement that reflects those principles. Thats all we need to know.

President Trump: Please give us a weekly or biweekly ‘fireside chat’ setting forth those who are obstacles to your platform. Encourage writing and calling these deadhead reps and senators. Encourage primary challenges of these people in 2018. We have been lied to so much; it would be better to contribute directly to a trusted candidate than to the RNC (RINOS).



To: Joe Bfstplk

Great ideas. I’ve long thought the Sunday fireside chat idea was a good one. Hope he starts it, and yes, Primary them All!



To: Art in Idaho

He’ll sign it.

Hell sign it. I hope not. If he does sign it, I'm hoping he has an "Art of the Deal" strategy in mind. None of us can know all the details and insider stuff he knows, but man, on the surface the optics are horrible for his supporters.

"It's just part of the 2017 budget process, Trump will do 'his stuff' in the 2018 budget." I don't buy it. Me either. the 2018 budget will be just another excuse for the Republicans to cave.

Seems like this would’ve the time to let Democrats shut down the government. They are so in favor of illegal immigration that they were/are willing to shut down the government for it. Sick.

Um, sure. Let’s give the leftists everything they want, and we’ll just go ahead and amend the Constitution to do it. Lol. NOT a smart thing.

1,665 Pages: GOP Spending Bill Longer Than Obamas Stimulus I just don't understand this. I hope Trump gives a good explanation. Give them this so he can ramrod his 2018 budget through? The dems always want more. After today, they will demand more. This portends a major budget fight in 2018. Something has to be done about the Axis of Evil.

To: dware

Um, sure. Lets give the leftists everything they want, and well just go ahead and amend the Constitution to do it. Lol. NOT a smart thing. What do you propose?



To: libertylover

Me either. the 2018 budget will be just another excuse for the Republicans to cave. Yes, I'm very concerned about that.



To: Art in Idaho

What do you propose? At this point? There's only one solution: pitchforks, torches, tar & feathers.

Art in Idaho beat me to it. Article V ping!



To: dware

After the ‘pitchforks, torches, tar & feathers,’ then what?



To: Art in Idaho; Jacquerie

If Trump sings this brobdingnag, he might as well forget about 2020.



To: dware

At this point? There's only one solution: pitchforks, torches, tar & feathers. You know, I've never really considered seriously watering the tree of liberty,. . I think about it when I'm upset. . but today, my pendulum is swinging in that direction.



To: Jacquerie

Thanks Jacquerie!

The Washington D.C. Axis of Evil and the need for Article V Now Thanks, Art in Idaho.



To: Art in Idaho

Seeing as how Trump likes to have Rallies I propose he do a rally in each state where a decent chance of activating Article V exists.
