1. Question? Let's say we make a deal funding our priorities and keeping the government open.

Why would we expect Trump to keep such a deal?

Didn't our Supreme Court just rule that Trump doesn't have to fund programs he doesn't like, even though Congress authorized and approved the spending?

They are out to screw America. They have all the tools. They break their word every day. They have no respect for anyone or anything. They love to see working folks lose their jobs, their healthcare, their safety nets. Their top money man dances on stage with a chainsaw celebrating the destruction of people's livelihoods.

How can you make a deal under these circumstances?
