Trump confidant Sen. Lindsey Graham floats tying border wall money to debt ceiling increaseIf Trump takes that gamble to secure funding for the barrier that has so far eluded him, it would create a standoff in Washington with huge stakes for the American and global economies. Russian roulette? Great plan, Lindsey. MAGA Here comes the default. Shameless and shameful. Once upon a time, this would surprise me.

GOP senator says Trump wants a ‘simple’ border wall dealSen. Perdue, one of the president’s closest allies, indicated that Trump is prepared to act on his own if an agreement does not satisfy him. Any such deal would be simply bad. No wall. Obviously because he reads at a 2nd grade level Democrats should play by same rules next time they have a president. Call a national emergency to fulfill the global warming issues atleast thats genuinely a national emergency because of the disasters we keep having this year.
