27. Oh? I think he wants to make one of his DEALS

He'll sign the housing bill, which contains some of the provisions already contained in his quasi legal executive orders, in return for passing the SAFE (Stop Americans From Electing) Act, a horror show which will disproportionately remove access to voting from any woman who has ever been married and has not retained a paper tra9l, which is most of us.

Bad deal. Since no one has challenged his EO, which banned investment banks from snapping up affordable housing and jacking the prices up to the stratosphere, I think we can afford to wait another two years for the SAFE Act to die a permanent and ignominious death.

So let him take the hit for this one. People with 4 kids crammed into one bedroom apartments in lousy neiighborhoods will remember.
