Democrats are making a show of their willingness to cooperate with the incoming Trump administration. That’s not their job.

    When it comes to the spending deal this is a last gasp - the dems are out of power as of 20th Jan.

    Then we get the opposite shit show - the republicans have slim majorities in congress so small groups within the party will try to hold the government hostage. We’ve seen it before and will see it again.

    An early sign has been Trump pushing for a raise in the debt ceiling and fiscallly conservative republicans ignoring him.

    Expect conflict between republicans to be the dominant story of the next 2 years.
