You have to laugh at these clowns. Schiff for brains believes he commands the armed forces. Apparently he doesn't understand how our government works.


Lawmakers blocked the Department of Defense's move to transfer $1 billion for the construction of a physical barrier along the US-Mexico border, the latest showdown in the battle over the border wall that President Trump has vowed to build.

On Monday, the Pentagon authorized the transfer of funds to Army engineers for projects along the border, which include building 57 miles of 18-foot-high fencing, constructing and improving roads, and installing lighting in support of Department of Homeland Security and Customs and Border Patrol. The move was carried out under the president's declaration of a national emergency, the department said in a statement.

As Acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan was testifying before his committee, Rep. Adam Smith, the Democrat who chairs the House Armed Services Committee, released a letter denying the Pentagon's move to reprogram $1 billion.

"The House Committee on Armed Services has completed its review of the proposed reprogramming request," Smith's letter read, according to a copy obtained by Military Times. "The committee denies this request."

In a more detailed statement, Smith called the Department of Defense's decision to reprogram $1 billion without Congressional approval a violation of trust. "DoD is attempting to circumvent Congress and the American people's opposition to using taxpayer money for the construction of an unnecessary wall."

Seems that Congress has the power of the purse....but you never did care for the Constitution did you

So how did Obama give $150 billion to Iran?

It was not our money, that is how.

That wasn't for Obama to decide, dumbass. Many Americans had legal claims on that money.

Be that as it may, it is still not comparable to signing a spending bill and then ignoring it

Sure it is. Furthermore, Obama funded one of the Obamacare programs even though Congress had appropriated no funding for it.
 
The hebrew legislators do not support the wall for America but are 100% one in Israel. Two passports...split loyalty...bad for America.

The article I read this morning is $1 billion for 57 miles of fence? Hell everyone should block a very expensive fence that will be cut through and torn down in no time.

So, what you are saying is that Trump is no different than Obama.

Finally, something we can agree on.

And the lines become clearer. Maybe we approach the day when the military will have to choose between obeying its C in C or kowtowing to socialists.

Or the third option of Defending the Constitution, which is what the military actually swears an oath to do.

The Democrats have abrogated the Constitution. It’s now only used to control you...not to control the government.

I know, for people like yourself the idea of someone being outside of the two party paradigm is more than you poor little mind can grasp.
