Trump moving forward to divert $3.6B from military projects for border wall

You do realize that claiming congress might possibly change something at some unknown time in the future doesn't make your pathetic little rant any less pathetic. Or any less complete nonsense.

Congress has the power of the purse, not the executive branch. So, yes, they can change the law to make sure the President does not miss-appropriate funds like this. And, it is true that Donald does not care about what our tax dollars were actually appropriated for. The majority of Americans do not want him to do this. He does not care.

He does, in fact, have a grandiose sense of himself and thinks he is entitled to do whatever he wants. No sense of boundaries. He just does what he pleases. You have not noticed this?
 
And here I thought I was being charitable even replying to you! Move along

LMAO thats what I thought, run away!!! your dodge is delicious!
Ill be right here so when you want to be honest please let us know when you have one fact that supports otherwise and proves the facts i pointed out wrong . . . .ONE, thanks!
 
No, because adding a third party generally draws much more from one of the two major parties than the other - handing them a much easier victory.

That's why we need 4 at least.

Washington begged us not to fall for a two party system in his farewell letter.

Predicting our current situation with accuracy Nostradamus never dreamed of.
 
Donald is weakening the power of the Oval Office by doing this. When Congress approved the money they expected the President to spend according to how the funds were appropriated. Now they will have to change the law to prevent this from happening in the future.

But, Donald does not care. He forgot that he lied about Mexico paying for the wall. Where are the funds from Mexico? It was bad enough that we were having to pay for something that was supposed to be paid for by someone else. Now, he is robbing from Peter to pay Paul. I can only imagine the crooked business deals he’s made in the past.

The EC magic number of 270 would be hard to hit with 4 parties assuming that they could each win a few big states.
 
Just the beginning, they are testing the waters of how to take money from agencies... NEXT they will take money from "Safety Net" programs, beause they see these rabid minded types don't understand the game being played on them.

It's the same principle used to "Abolish Job Paid Pension Plans'... when the game was sold to them, that companies would do a dollar for dollar match, then it was 75 cent to a dollar, down to 25 cent to a dollar to "O" to the dollar... all the while wages became stagnant and people could not contribute enough to the plan to have a decent requirement income. They fell for it, because generalized ignorance is no match for wealthy corporate schemes. Now... we have the grand schemer in the white house backed by a right wing rabid 'Confederacy Groomed Republican Senate"... who loves every minute of stripping anything and everything away from the public.

they think they are hurting blacks and immigrants, and poor whites are considered nothing more than acceptable collateral damages, because they can be easily hoodwinked by simply giving them someone to blame and someone to look down upon... but never to blame the Confederate Minded Republicans who are the real danger and damage maker in this nation. But as LBJ said more than 50+ yrs ago.



Johnson was very smart and sadly the people were too ignorant to even know that he was telling them the truth about themselves, and they still refuse to change.
LBJ knew exactly what the mindset were of the Segregationist, the White Nationalist, and the White Supremacist and tried to warn the people of the mad and vile game that was being played upon them... but they did not care...they simply cared to continue their Jim Crow groomed in training.... and as time has come to prove... there is no more middle class, and poverty spread across 50 states. while the wealthy now count their money in 10's, $100's of million to $Billions and still they are continuing to empty their pockets, for the lust of wanting someone to look down upon... while they fall lower and lower themselves.

After looking down, when they are themselves driving themselves lower, they resort to violence, and we see it in the mass shooting, kids killing families, mom and pop killing the kids, kids shooing up other kids in schools.... and the cycles of savagery continues... while the wealthy engage their savagery of amassing more money than they can ever spend. Pushing for a Plutocratic System, where they can re-create a form of Serfdom, which many of these sames types, ancestry hailed from and they've lusted for a return to serfdom over 100's of years, in their continued worship of the wealthy.

YOU JUST CAN'T FIX THAT KIND OF STUPIDITY, AND THAT LEVEL OF INSANITY WILL NEVER ACKNOWLEDGE ITS OWN INSANE REPETITIONS.

They are daily led by the "Let's Attack Something" which is drilled in their head 24/7 from Right Wing Media and Right Wing Talking Heads on the Radio.... and it has gained them "nothing" but the drama cycles of ego elation of "attacking something"... unaware the attack doubles back upon themselves. Then they try and find some place to lay blame except upon themselves.
That's the delusion that "white superiority creates".. is a self defeat game... the Plutocrats have been honing for centuries.

Hating and attacking something over 100's of years has not uplifted their life one bit!!! but they tune in to the "Attack Grooming Media, every day with a devotion as that of a "drama junkie".... seeking a daily drama fix. America is a Good system which The Right Wing Talking Heads make a fortune by such minions gathering and tuning in (taking away a weekly salary for doing so to the tune of $576,923.00 (EVERY WEEK) as they groomed them to "Attack Something" while their lives fall lower and lower and the wealthy become extremely wealthy.

The industrial farm industry will come in and buy up and buy out all the farmers who are being led to ruins... and they can't see it even as it takes places on a continual cycle.

The Right Wing Establishment has spent 100's of years honing the game of "SERF MAKING".

How else could they ever compete with rich folks who actually have "serfs"?
 
Can't have this:

Is also rather funny that you don't know any of those answers either and yet are completly opposed to the wall.
Improving border security is virtually the only real policy of trumps that I support, I am not saying his wall is the best way to go about it, but it's really sad to see all those on the left who supported all the former democrats who claimed they wanted to see a wall built on the border but yet now are completly dead set against the wall or virtually any effort to enforce this countries immigration law.
Way to many on the left side from some server TDS and simply can't support anything that Trump is for. And we winner why this country is so screwed up.

The wall is a completely spendthrift approach that only adresses some of the illegal immigrants.

Seriously going after employers would affect all of them who aren't married to rich guys.

Make it nigh into impossible to work here or receive benefits and they'll stop coming (unless they are aactually refugees.

I find it interesting that the current situation is actually a refugee crisis and not an "illegal immigrant coming here for a job and better life."

And Like just about all of our recent crises it's really just fallout from the cold war, where we were basically just trying to secure access to the worlds resources for capitalists of the donor level.
 
Taking funds from the military without Congressional approval is unconstitutional. The completion of any wall would be more in the neighborhood of $22 billion but Trump needs this $3.5b to show his base that he's building the wall, which he hasn't yet. He told you that Mexico might even write a check for the wall, that's how anxious he said they would be to pay for it. Mexico's response was clear 3 years ago, "lleno de mierda"

The U.S. Constitution ensures that there's a balance of authority. These military construction budgets are carefully thought out over a period of five years. Finally, with Congressional support, they get the first year of funding for what is always a multi-year project. This is a horrible way to manage the US armed forces. It's unconstitutional to divert money in this manner. It circumvents Congress's power of the purse.

So when the time comes, remember this. Do not protest saying "what do you mean? He did nothing unconstitutional!!'. Yes, he did. And, as Nancy Pelosi said months ago, "Donald Trump is self-impeaching".
Really because it seems the US Supreme Court disagrees with you. Hmm who should we trust. The supreme court or some random partisan poster on a message board. Tough call.

Just more nonsense. The supreme court said what he is doing is legal. The rest of your post is pure garbage brought to us by TDS.

Well since the president is supposed to represent everybody as opposed to congressfolk who represent their state or district, I think the president should be elected by popular vote. The states are still protected by existing checks and balances.

The EC was a bargaining chip to get the slave states to sign on to the constitution anyway, right?

Well, that and they were supposed to keep a looney or a foreign agent from becoming president.

They bombed that so hard i don't see any reason to keep it going.

It's just the tyranny of the minority now, as it plays out.

Hilldog lost by getting 3,000,000 more votes. Gore won the popular vote too, didn't he?

So doesn't that kinda make our votes seem discounted? Like we only count as a fraction of a person? We could calculate it. Divide dem voters by the population to get the fraction our votes actuall counted.

Then we could feel good if was 4/5s instead of three quarters of a tiny starters, right?

Or maybe just call it like it is and say those small staters' votes count as 1.25 against a California voters' .75.

Yes, the Supreme Court said that, but Congress can change the law.

The observations I made in my post are intuitively obvious. Why don’t you respond to them, hmm? Guess you can’t, so you call it garbage, rant, etc. Let’s hear you address what you know to be true, but can’t allow yourself to accept.

The Supreme Court is a joke with Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch. They're both willing to do Trump's bidding even ruling against the US Constitution. Then there's AG William Barr. This has been a complete and total coup and our country will never be the same once those bastards are finally driving out of Washington.

Gorsuch and Kavanaugh will stay of course since they got a lifetime job, but Trump will NOT. Border communities, the environment, and our Constitution’s separation of powers will be permanently harmed should Trump get away with pillaging military funds for a xenophobic border wall Congress denied.

It's sickening to see what his country has become under this racketeer Trump.

Good thing Mitch stole that seat for him, huh?
 
we have approx 300-500k of illegals crossing the border annually (no one knows for sure anymore) and those numbers may be wrong

if the wall can cut those number down by 75% i will be happy

will it completely cut off all of them....nope

but will a father, pregnant mom, and a 2 yr old even try if the wall is now up? unlikely....

i guess time will tell....

anything is BETTER than what we have now....which is almost nothing

time to get serious about the wall, and about E-verify at every employer....

and that still doesnt solve the problem completely....but it helps

It wont. The scary pregnant mothers and children will find a way. Be afraaaid be verry afraaaid.
