Tried to buy a sandwich from Subway and they told me there was a 10-day waiting period.

Trump and his admin wanted this bill passed before July 4 so that tomorrow they can watch millions of their dumbest supporters unwittingly celebrate all that’s just been taken from them. It was just too good to pass up.
