A (Hyperbolic) Literal Translation of Next Week's Politics

On Sunday, April 30, 2017, Donald will have survived 100 days in office. Lacking anything substantive -- in fact, failing to accomplish his own, stated goals -- he is now trying to push tax reform, ACA repeal and replace, and deal with the debt ceiling all at the same time. The debt ceiling reaches its hard ceiling -- the point where the federal government must shut down -- on Saturday, April 29.

So what's Donald's big deal on the debt ceiling? To demand that Democrats fund his Wall in exchange for CSR payments for the ACA. This is a hair-brained scheme, ransoming the economy and health insurance rates for millions of Americans, so that he can build his Wall, effectively telling America that the only thing stopping him from destroying America are Democrats.

We know how this ends. (See the previous post on Donald's 5-point foreign policy)
