2019 is going to be great. 2020 even better. Yeah, the shutdown sucks, but I imagine it can only last so longāTrumpās 54,000 border patrol agents are currently not getting paid, nor are the farmers who canāt get their bailout payments until the furlough ends. Trump will cave, and its not going to get any better for him.
Several months ago, House leaders impressed upon the Donald the need to fix the damage done by Newt Gingrich. Back in the day, he took away staff from committee chairs to consolidate his own power. He figured he could outsource policy making to lobbyists and right-wing think tanksāwhich is exactly how the GOP runs Congress. The big problem here is that oversight and investigations are hard to run with limited staff, and Hillary Clinton is not going to investigate herself.
Back in late August, Donaldāliving in his ego-inflated bubble--kept insisting that there would be a āred waveā and listened to pundits who told him that not only would the Democrats not take the House, but the GOP was likely to gain seats. That was the selling point for Congress to get their staff funding. The extra staff would be critical for conducting hearings and investigations, which would be āhandy for investigating Hillary Clintonās emails.ā
Trump approved the extra $129 million for staff.
DOH!
Trump approved extra $129M to help House investigate Hillary. Now Pelosi has it.
I'm sure she has plans for the money already.
