Some trumpster on the PBS live feed yesterday said that all Democrats in Congress own property overseas. (During the Senate vote on the Barr appointment)
My assumption is that the context of such a fantasy is that said congresspersons are getting ready to flee the country [- and further assumption - ] after they rob the USA.
A nice reminder itās time to give them more $$$$. Plus there was a really cool person in the obits the other day whose survivors asked for ACLU donations in lieu of flowers.
The Military construction budget is one of the biggest sources of pork barrel spending available to Congress. Construction projects in the US makes local construction firms happy and creates decent paying jobs for laborers and tradespeople (aka happy voters) - and if the construction cuts are to overseas bases, then trump will be ticking off Halburton, Bechtel, and the big defense contractors beloved by the GOP.
This will give some Congress members another reason to speak upā¦
