I don’t know what’s going on but we can’t rule out the possibility that Trump has been ‘gotten to’, either. That’s the sick and sad reality of our out of control stasi state.
Ryan and McConnell have really hung him out to dry. I suppose their strategy is:
-They don’t have the support to eliminate the filibuster now
-They think they’ll be in a better position to break a filibuster after the mids
-They think they will lose a shutdown battle unless it’s over a winner issue (no protections for DACAS)
We may be in a position where we lose the House this fall and our Senate position doesn’t improve that much. Then, we’ll be in an even weaker position, passing even worse bills than this. The only consolation there is that it’s really hard to get much worse.

Every report yesterday said he is ready to sign it.
When other democracies (republics?) Have fallen over the centuries, was it with a wimper or a bang? Did people fight, or was it like America’s demise - frog in the kettle?
Don’t give him an out. What the worst that happens if he doesnt? Virtually nothing. If it’s a bad budget, then veto it. Otherwise, his signature means he approves it.
