Friday

in March. The big ugly bill was rammed through in July.

Trump's approval rating were still decent in March, as opposed to the sewer they are in NOW...

Although they took a lot of heat for it, in retrospect, the Senate Democrats
who voted to NOT shut the government down at that time and hold their powder
until national opposition to the Trump admin built up stronger, which it clearly has,
might not have been so 'stupid'....

Refusing to fund the government while an incoming president's "honeymoon"
is still ongoing is probably a bad political move....

That "honeymoon" is clearly over NOW....

The majority of the American people have now contacted a divorce lawyer,
and the divorce suit against Trump has been filed....

It goes to court in November 2026!
