Yes, bigger than Trump, because he’s consciously enabling Trump and all the damage he’s doing. And not just to our country but to the world with all the climate-change-denying horseshit. Damn right. And he just did it again, trying his best to destroy the FEC. ---

Ms. Brooks little boy Davey explained it. The funding will move where Il Douche wants it, then Congress will pass additional legislation to replace the funds. Except Puerto Pobre, which will get a big floating begging bowl so passing ships can throw in spare change. ---
