Yep, we covered that here during the Omnibus. The President got $700 billion military funds for 2018 and $719 billion for 2019 in the Omnibus. SO ... Congress has no leverage by holding military funding hostage IOW it’s off the table.
The Omnibus was for six months only to the midterms except for military funding which was funded for two years.
There’s a provision for Social Security and Medicare payments to keep flowing when the government is shut down and for essential services.
The Swamp is going to go bonkers in September. And this President is not going to back down because he’s got what he needs and will hold out for what he wants which is among other things $40 billion for the Wall.
didn’t Potus say in a Michigan speech the deadline for the shutdown was in October 2018 something?
