Senate Parliamentarian Rules Against Trump Ballroom Funding
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/latest-news-live-updates_n_6a01a0f2e4b06e786e3f4160/liveblog_6a0919a0e4b0ee7169730074
Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), the top Democrat on the Senate Budget Committee, announced the parliamentarian's decision in a press release. (The parliamentarian doesn't make public statements.)
"A project as complex and large in scale as Trumps proposed ballroom necessarily involves the coordination of many government agencies which span the jurisdiction of many Senate committees," the release said. The parliamentarian said the the ballroom provision inappropriately funds activities outside the jurisdiction of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which wrote the proposal, Merkley's office said.
The parliamentarian's ruling is a setback for Trump and Republicans, but they can rewrite the provision and try again before they vote on the bill next week.
While we expect Republicans to change this bill to appease Trump, Democrats are prepared to challenge any change to this bill," Merkley said in a press release. "We cannot let Republicans waste our national treasure on a mission of chaos and corruption while turning a blind eye to the needs of the American people.

Tiny Dick Syndrome is real and Trump is widely recognized as patient zero.

(26,580 posts)3. I couldn't resist the line "holding his balls on W.H. grounds"
Had to be on purpose?
Miles?
Who will take up "Trump claims fewer strokes golfing than in the E.R."
I know that God will punish him for golfing on Sunday instead of attending the worship service he set up or touted.
What it be?

NowTHERE'S a stroke. Of luck and Lightning.
