Chill pill?

If Trump loses in 2020, it will because of nimrods, like those here on FR, who along with sociopaths the likes of Bannon, Coulter & Co, have worked to sabotage him at every turn.

Case in point is the absolute BS Breitbart narrative being spewed by Coulter, Bannon, Horowitz, Ingraham and Numbers USA - that Section 224 of this appropriations bill is somehow “amnesty,” or other such tripe.

This is a spending bill, not a statutory amendment to existing immigration law. FULL STOP.

DHS will not circumvent the law, or their own regulations, due to a 6-month proscription in an appropriations bill. FULL STOP.

Seriously, the people on FR, who insist on pushing this narrative, giving it legs, need to stop. Ann Coulter and her gang of narcissistic, gas-lighting opportunists are far more toxic to President Trump’s agenda than any supposed “poison pills” in this bill. - and that is something worth “screaming” about.

This stuff used to be taught in the 9th Grade, but I don’t think many schools do so anymore. Fortunately, we still have people on FR who can help and this is an example.

Here is a quote from a longer piece that explains What an Appropriation Bill is, how it is built and passed, and what the Executive must do with it. The link is below.

“Executive branch agencies must spend funds provided by Congress in the manner directed by Congress in the text of the appropriations bills. Appropriations bills often contain accompanying report language with additional directions, which are not legally binding but are generally followed by agencies. In some instances, Congress will provide for very narrow authority or use funding limitation clauses to tell agencies what they cannot spend the money on. That said, Congress often provides broad authority, which gives agencies more control in allocating spending. Agencies also have some authority to reprogram funds between accounts after notifying (and in some cases getting approval from) the Appropriations Committees.”

So when Trump utterly fails on his central campaign promise to slow third world migration into our homeland, and in fact with his H1-b giveaway is likely to increase it over Obama. ... it’s somehow “sabotage” to point this out?

And we should shut up about this reality to preserve your safe space?

No.
