money is already allocated for the next 2 years. The Dems can try to affect spending from 2021 on - but they will be reluctant to do that because they don’t want to handcuff a potential Trump 2020 replacement (not that that will happen). They are basically impotent with the Admin and Senate able to override and delay themselves. And this Republican senate, where Trump agenda supporters won and those against lost, will be powerful.

Then Trump can simply shut down the government.

I have to conclude from this election and from the panel Laura Ingraham had from Arizona, Americans apparently think theirs is the only country that should not have a border.

Laura’s audience was from Arizona, so you would think they would be border hawks. Nope. Half of them wanted to welcome everyone and give them free healthcare.

So now that Trump doesn’t have the US public behind him it is all defensive action now. Of course he has to stop new Democrat voters from coming in, but he will seemingly be on his own doing it.

I don’t know because it seems Americans don’t mind these pieces of horse dung, and gave them a mandate.

Did Americans not see these vicious liars in the Kavanaugh hearing. How can I see Diane Feinstein and see what a bottom dwelling serpent she is, but other Americans don’t see it?
