Trump says troops are getting paid

[Anonymous]

Anyone have any idea of how this works in practice at DOD? At my agency this could theoretically be accomplished by “taxing” each component to come up with a portion of the funding needed, but on the flip side you can’t turn payroll $ into discretionary funds, so what happens when the govt is funded and they get the payroll $?

Yup. Troops going unpaid was a major lever in getting GOP to negotiate. I will be surprised if Trump can pull off making this happen though - from a logistics standpoint.

dems should just end this nonsense now. move on and pick another battle later.

Reps literally control all 3 branches.

This ends when they say so.

I hope it won't work, sorry troups. All for one and one for all.

Yep. If Feds cannot be paid right now, that includes the military.

It’s illegal. But Congress doesn’t seem to care. They’ve given the nation away.

It’s literally unconstitutional.

Congress has declined to assert its Article I authorities around spending, so I guess nothing matters anymore. Trump is our King, because a minority of people want that and the Electoral College allows them to decide.

Hyperbole, much?
Also, Trump win the popular vote as well. Your whining about the electoral college doesn’t help your argument because he didn’t need it. He would’ve been elected without it.

Who’s going to tell you that he is your president.

Yeah, okay. We all believe that.

60 votes. It only takes a few more Democrats to end this. Schumer is blocking that for now.

Usually, if you don't have enough votes to pass something as is, you need to make some revisions in order to get more votes. That's not happening here. It's not democrats job to rubberstamp everything.
