Speaking of tiring of winning, did you see what's in the new budget? Or more accurately, what is NOT in the new budget:
Not in the budget:
Funding for the big beautiful wall. Only existing walls and fences may be repaired or upgraded. None of the new prototype walls may be used. No new construction, either.
Unlimited detainment of illegal aliens. The Dems capped the number that can be detained at 40,354.
Repeal of the Johnson Amendment. Non-profit churches will continue to be prohibited from political activity.
In the Budget
Increased spending on the Arts, including the National Endowment for the Arts
PBS receives same level of funding as last year.
Funding of Planned Parenthood. Apparently, they get the same money as last year.

...final vote in the House hasn't happened yet, right?
"The rule governing debate on the measure was approved in a 211-207 vote , setting up a final vote on the bill later on Thursday . The Senate will also have to approve the package to send it to the White House...."

When did this vote occur, last night or this morning?
Paul is no RINO:
"However Sen. Rand Paul, who forced a brief government shutdown last month, would not say Wednesday whether he would move to obstruct the massive spending bill. To pass the bill quickly, Senate leaders would need unanimous consent to wave its rules.
“I will oppose the bill. I haven’t made a decision yet on whether or not I will consent to time agreements,” CNN quoted Paul as saying...."
Congress races to pass $1.3T defense-friendly omnibus and avoid shutdown

Now you're a Paul supporter?
You switch constantly.
First Rubio then someone else, now Paul.

Lol, look again, you've confused me with someone else, I've always supported both Pauls, and I've never supported Rubio. :)

Well, The Rinos caved and Trump is settling for trash instead of insisting on a good bill. I am ashamed of all of them.

Rush is big time 'hinting' for Trump to be like Reagan and veto.

Yes. He has the intestinal fortitude to force a shutdown.
When did this vote occur, last night or this morning? Does anyone know?

I don't think Trump will veto.
Trump things in business terms.
If he feels he's getting some blood out of a turnip, he'll take it, and look for more somewhere else.

I didn't even know the vote happened yet, just know that Trump has signaled support.
But Trump will also take advantage of descent from the right and urge negotiation.
I think he'd prefer that to vetoing.

Can anybody recall any statements or any leadership whatsoever that Trump put into this bill?

How about two examples of how he's led on the budget issues?
