    Great deal. I was worried that the bi partisanship was going to include Confederate statues as national monuments but I was pleasantly surprised.

    Did the white house give any indication this would be signed?

    92 senators voted for it, it's veto proof.

    Weren't 100 senators on board for the original budget? I forget how it works, do they have to revote if he vetoes? Or can it just not be vetoed at all?

    Would any of those Rs actually oppose Trump if it came to that?

    They have to vote again to override the veto I think.

    From what I've seen they mostly only bow to him by not even bringing something to vote that he won't sign.

    Also Trump is a weak fuck and I don't think he has the balls to actually veto something they push through.

    Yeah I don't think Trump will veto this. But if he does, I don't expect Rs to override him

    Trump signs, he scrounges money to add to the current wall, and changes his slogan to "finish the wall". All in all this shutdown business is just about wrapped up.

    BREAKING: Senate Majority Leader McConnell says President Trump has told him that he's prepared to sign the government funding bill and that "he will also be issuing a national emergency declaration at the same time."

    It's such an emergency, that we've been able to wait months to actually do it. Less than 10% of people cross the border along the deserts. The other 90% cross at actual border crossing. I'm all for spending that money on more personal to beef up security where these people actually come through.
