Lawmakers block Pentagon move to transfer $1 billion for Trump's border wall

[Harpy Eagle]

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

Finally, something we can agree on.

Aren’t you the pure one.

Nope, just not a partisan sheep. Both parties suck, that is the pure, cold, hard fact.

You are as partisan and as servile as they come. And predictable.

poor little child. I do not live in either of the sheep pen, not the one on the right nor the one on the left.

I sit on the hill watching you sheep in your pen think you are so very different from the sheep in the other pen...and then I laugh at you.

When the elites set up the pens they set up three. The third one was for their more sanctimonious supporters. You jumped right in and tied your own leash up.

That is so cute, you trying to be witty and all. Your party masters will be so very proud of you.

It’s not that you are shallow and easily led that’s sad. It’s that you fancy yourself deep.

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.

just sit down and wait for your next talking points email, you do not want to task that tiny brain too much pondering things above you.

“I’m neither party”.

How original. I’ve never heard that in my life.

I’m trying to explain that you play your role. And can’t imagine deviating from it. Typical sheep.

Lawmakers block Pentagon move to transfer $1 billion for Trump's border wall​

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 wasn’t taxpayers’ money. It was the money in Iranian government American bank accounts when the US government froze their assets. It had been sitting in their bank accounts for 35 years.

I’m wondering if your view of the wall and funding it line up with the Democrats and the press(again).

Hmmm....I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.

It’s not a waste of time. The elites invented a duopoly...and a third pen for the sanctimonious. Then they enjoyed their chosen two fighting each other while their third snacks his lips and says “oh dear I’m glad I’m better than them”
So long as he doesn’t get in the way of the powerful then his role is well played.

Hmmm....I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.

my view of the wall funding is that I wanted Congress to give Trump the money that the Border Patrol said they needed to repair and add fencing where needed. I trust the BP to know what they need. Further, my view is that it was dishonest for the president to sign a spending bill he knew he was going to ignore. I think it is wrong for the POTUS to spend money specifically denied him by congress. The Constitution is clear on this.

So, feel free to give me a list of the press and the Dems that agree with that view of mine, how many Dems and the press wanted congress to give Trump the funding the BP asked for?

I thought the President commanded the DoD and the military itself........so it's up to them. Schiff can go fuck himself.

Congress controls the purse strings. You should ready the constitution some time.

but, being a mindless sheep you cannot see the other side.

Is Nancy Pelosi there when I agree with Trump?

Was Nancy Pelosi there with me when I cheered for both of his SCOTUS picks?

Was Nancy Pelosi there when I supported his withdrawal of troops from the ME?

Was Nancy Pelosi there when I supported Trump's efforts to fix government service and make it easier to get rid of shitty employees?

But you cannot see these things, because your mind cannot grasp that someone might agree with a person on some things and disagree with them on others.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

It was not our money, that is how.

That's highly debatable.

It certainly was not the Theocratic Government's money. That deal was made with the prior regime.

Good.

Trump’s ‘wall’ of fear, bigotry, and hate is a ridiculous waste of money, completely devoid of merit.
