  1. @Anonymous; it’s going to be tricky for the 9th Circus to rule against Trump even though they’re getting little chubbies under the their robes thinking they can, because even the average Californian (and the moderate to severe Democrats everywhere) can understand that if the project has been cancelled (creating a “last train to Clarkesville” doesn’t count as the project signed on for) then the money comes back or isn’t sent in the first place. They risk a real backlash and greater support for Trump breaking up the 9th.

    The money allocated by Congress was AMERICAN TAXPAYER money. I am an American taxpayer and I want that money back.
