Fuck. My hopes for Jan 6th just went drastically down. You're right that this site tries to spin everything into a positive. We got fucked today!

We are fucked with EVERY spending bill! Why should this one be different? Don't make out that this is more than it is. You are wrong if you think that signing this bill is some kind of capitulation. It's not. This bill was veto-proof anyway!

You are just plain wrong on this point my friend. Donald Trump never gives up ground and he never gives something without getting something that he wants in return. You don't know what the negotiation was. Perhaps he got everything he could have gotten, or perhaps this is a strategic retreat, or something else. But spending bills get done and congress throws money around like rice at a wedding. This has absolutely nothing to do with January 6th. I hope to see you there!

Yes, we did.

Dems in the House will vote on the $2k increase tomorrow but GOP Senate may not even take it up.

As for the specific spending Trump said he wanted revised, Congress will ignore it because after 45 days the bill as signed will go into full effect.
