This puts the President in a VERY difficult position, because it involves the military not getting paid, and you can call it caving or not, but I just can’t see him allowing the military to go unpaid. And the RINOs know this.
He’s the chief executive officer and commander in chief. If the congress abdicates its responsibility to fund the necessary and constitutionally authorized departments of government, then he should declare a state of emergency and take emergency measures to see that the essential departments are operating as long as the money holds out. If it means shuttering the epa, hud, labor dept, energy dept, education dept, usda, and a whole host of other ABC agencies then shutter them. If it means terminationd a whole passel of unconstitutionally politicized and weaponized judges and shutting down half the federal judiciary, then shut it down. If it means not funding planned parenthood, Obamacare, the UN, foreign aid, and a whole bunch of other nonessential crap, then pull their funding. If it means cutting the rest of the feds by 50% or more, then cut them. If it means not funding and not subsidizing a bunch of money wasting (bullet train to nowhere) liberal sanctuary states, then stop funding and subsidizing them. If it means not funding universities and schools that propagandize and brain-wash our youth with godless marxist claptrap, then stop funding or subsidizing them. But his primary duty is the defense of the nation so he should fully fund the military and border security!
