Well, the suspense is over and the House and Senate passed a budget with a veto-proof majority making the presidents signature unnecessary. Oh, and that national emergency thing he keeps threatening...well if he was a politician and not a businessman he would know that Congress can override any action he takes by use of the National Emergencies Act of 1976, which was passed to prevent abuse of National Emergency power by the president. So that makes it game, set, match in favor of Nancy Pelosi and the American people and 50 miles of fencing for Trump and his losers...

Now the good thing for Trump is that this lets him off the hook because he can claim that he was powerless to stop congress--which ironically for him is the t***h. So this is over and the question begged is why did Trump shut down the government to begin with? This means for the purpose of grandstanding Trump screwed 800 thousand government worker and several hundred thousand more who derive jobs as a service industry to all those employees. This is a man who is suppose to be for the American worker but because he is a petulant child he screwed unnecessarily over a million of them...
