So, what did we get for all that fun Conservative contrarianism?

Then you should know that funding within a department of the federal government can be shifted between projects, particularly near the end of a fiscal year which is what Trump did. It was perfectly legal and you not liking that doesn't change anything.

Trump took that money from the defense department. I think it was returned to them.

Trump didn't "take" money from the DoD, he shifted money from one program to another. That is done all the time. The money isn't the DoD's, it's the government's and Trump as the Chief Executive has the legal right to shift monies between programs in many cases.

Most funding is not even mulit-year. That means when the end of the fiscal year is drawing close program managers and their budget analysts start finding ways to spend all remaining funds before the end of that year or those funds could be removed and used up in the next fiscal year any way the top executives (eg., the President, cabinet members, and SES employees) deem fit.

That's fine, but the topic is very different than that which you erroneously referenced.

They won’t, useless, the Clerk would call for an immediate vocal vote and on party lines it will end, the bigger threat is if one GOP Rep initiates a call to remove the Speaker, one moderate or one of the Freedom idiots. McCarthy will be helpless, no power, and it is going happen when the debt ceiling arises, many GOP reps aren’t going to let Gaetz or Bohert crash the US economy
 
The rightys will never learn how the system works, The house did not and cannot enact any of those. The Senate has to pass them, then the president has to sign them. He has the power of veto. The Trumpys got those things in their imaginations. They can terrorize the Repubs in the house at will for the next 2 years. That is what they got.

Better use of the funds in my opinion.
