Or maybe not. Who can tell? Power has been sliding that way since 1947 with the national security act, and no const crisis. yet. There's no one left to call shenanigans. link |

Not breaking news for sure because POTUS past and present have pushed for more autonomy over congressional responsibilities which has ultimately meant moving the lines drawn in the Constitution with little more than a pen. Little or no reason to expect POTUS future will hand it back. The pen either.

Not is it not only breaking news, it is not even news on mainstream news. You might've he signed a $700 billion defense spending bill, if that.

Well, you know, our ships are sinking, planes have bald tires, radar dishes are rusty, we're reloading our own shells, and the hot water heaters need to be replaced in the barracks in Riyadh. 700 billion sounds a little low to me.

I dunno John - I suspect all of the above is actually true.
However, the most important thing to remember is that the CEO's of Lockheed, Boeing, Raytheon and others need a raise this year, and that money doesn't grow on trees you know....

You could probably buy a wall with that kind of lucre. If you wanted one.

How quaint.
Remember that time America tried to rule the entire world?
