the Constitution obviously has a lot of room for improvement (which shouldn't be a controversial statement imo but that's a conversation for another day), but there are a lot of lines that Trump has illegally crossed where it's like...THAT LINE IS THERE FOR A PRETTY GOOD REASON, ACTUALLY
Dems floated a narrow bill to fund the military, which can’t move because the House isn’t in session. Meanwhile, DoD is now going to spend funds not appropriated by Congress to ensure military paychecks continue.

POTUS now both commands and provisions the military. Unconstitutional and SO dangerous

Election Day is going to be an exercise in chaos.

Vote early.
