Curiouser and Curiouser

...so they "sweep" end of year funds... or plan to.. SO Kongresz earmarks the tar out of everything and puts some ridiculous language in statute to parry the blow.

$5 Bn because $6 Bn is too much(??)

This is all kabuki theater inside the gilded halls. When the people come to blows in large swaths I'll pay attention.

Trump long ago had a plan to build the wall without help from democrats.
This is all just a big PR stunt.

The presidential primaries are coming.
Immigration was Trump's winning "wedge" issue.

He is forcing his future opponent to veer left in order to get the nomination.
Trump will frame the issue as a choice between support for the American people or support for people from other nations.

He is a salesman.
America First.
