Schumer:

“We produced a darn good bill.”

BULLSHIT

The big question now is will any White House people redirect Trump when he leaves the signing ceremony without signing?

Rand Paul was right about nobody reading it. I have mixed feelings about what I know is in it. Seems like that bill might’ve been a hill worth fighting and dying on. Again though,none of us or them actually know what all else is in it. Lots of sweeteners probably,but for who?

Well, the bill is moot because DJT just tweeted that he will veto it. AND, we all know that he hasn’t even tried to read it.

Trump says he will veto the funding bill because the Democrats have “abondoned the DACA Dreamers” and that the bill doesn’t fully fund the wall. The Democrats need to immediately call Trump’s bluff and introduce the biggest, broadest DACA bill that one could possibly envision. They should then invite Trump to veto the current funding bill so they can put their amendment on the House floor. But will the Democrats do this? Not a chance.
