If appropriations bills are not seen as enforceable contracts, why should any Member of Congress vote to fund any part of the federal government under Donald Trump? You're voting to provide money for lawlessness. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...
There is no budget "deal" to be made
President Trump has so broken the constitutional framework as to make joint normal, responsible government impossible.

We are now getting very close to him committing Treason. Saying that you are going to end rule of law in America if a judge does not rule your way is a threat against the U.S. as serious as any foreign incursion—and indeed would be considerably more ruinous to the nation he swore an oath to protect.

If you ever wondered what Republican “governance” looks like, this is it.
A government shutdown.

A President who golfs during a shutdown.
National guards and ICE deployed to attack and arrest Americans.
Millions of Americans losing their healthcare.
