    Will that be a shorter or longer wait than the one for the Wall?

    according to you neither should take very long at all. We just say "too expensive" and that's that

    Congress said (paraphrasing) 'your stupid kevlar Wall is too expensive', yes.

    I guess to make the question easier for you to grasp, I'll put it this way:

    Will Trump be able to convince Congress to do whatever you think he wants to do with entitlements? And if so, why is he taking > 1 1/2 years to do it? I mean I know he has a lot of golf to play,but really 1 1/2 years seems like a long time to get this vital bit of legislation pushed through.

    Are you even aware if there's been any bill proposed to change the entitlement law? 'Cause I haven't heard of such.

    So congress doesn't just exist at your whim. There's a schedule. Lots of committees and such going on around legislative business. They have so much time each session, and not everything makes the cut.

    The legislative priority for the remainder of this session is the confirmation of Bret Kavanaugh to the supreme court. That's all congress is doing between now and midterm elections. There isn't time for anything else.

    Walls and entitlements will go through the next session of congress, provided we don't get bogged down with something stupid like a petty impeachment battle, lol.

    I can see Dems already getting revved up over this Cohen business. Gonna be fun to watch them all fall flat on their faces when they finally realize Trump didn't actually commit a crime.

    Sounds like Trump is prioritizing the stuff that a guy who doesn't expect to be around long would do, like SCJ.

    Wall already went through the last couple of budget rounds. Better luck next time I guess (if it gets that far).

    Entitlements still hasn't come up afaik. And guessing it never will, otherwise why beg off on money for the Wall?

    Yea, Trump has nothing to worry about. He just keeps ranting about witch hunts cause he's bored with golfing I guess. And anyways, we'd be told all about it if Mueller had anything on him; that's what good prosecutors do, spill the beans in an ongoing investigation.

    If you don't understand why a SCJ is a top and urgent priority...fuck you.
