Trump May Be The First President-Elect To Not Submit A Budget

[UCmeNdc]

The overarching theme of the incoming administration seems to be this: We know rather well that we'd breaking well-established norms by (fill in the blank), but it's not illegal. Since Cheeto Mussolini doesn't care about precedent, or respecting the norms, or the Office of the Presidency, absolutely everything he does is simply to enrich himself and the Republicans with whom he is in collusion. This is, without a doubt, perpetrating the biggest robbery of the American people ever conceived.

Meanwhile, His Orangeness will demand and receive adulation for the continued success of his predecessor, President Obama. There's no question that this president-elect will be riding the coattails of a real, competent president. Trump's Republican faithful sycophants and poorly educated followers won't have a clue that he is obliterating the most treasured institutions our Founding Fathers established. Not that it matters in the end, but we have to witness this atrocity as he gives us a smirk and an unusually stubby middle finger.

Dear leader-elect's likely action of not sending a budget to Congress isn't illegal, but it would certainly be unprecedented.

9. You didn't say "present it to Congress." Your information was misleading. nt

8. "To be fair," your post is false. Perhaps you'd like to retract? nt

4. From the Morse Code to the Twitter:

WHAT HATH GOD WROUGHT?

In a demonstration witnessed by members of Congress, American inventor Samuel F.B. Morse dispatches a telegraph message from the U.S. Capitol to Alfred Vail at a railroad station in Baltimore, Maryland. The message–“What Hath God Wrought?”–was telegraphed back to the Capitol a moment later by Vail. The question, taken from the Bible (Numbers 23:23), had been suggested to Morse by Annie Ellworth, the daughter of the commissioner of patents.

Morse, an accomplished painter, learned of a French inventor’s idea of an electric telegraph in 1832 and then spent the next 12 years attempting to perfect a working telegraph instrument. During this period, he composed the Morse code, a set of signals that could represent language in telegraph messages, and convinced Congress to finance a Washington-to-Baltimore telegraph line. On May 24, 1844, he inaugurated the world’s first commercial telegraph line with a message that was fitting given the invention’s future effects on American life.
