Another question. Would the military jump for joy when Trump dips into their budget to fund “his” wall?

How much did he pay Ann Coulter for those remarks? It sounded like the last 150 columns Coulter has written. He needed network time to simply repeat a shortened version of his campaign screed? It apparently was a campaign fundraising effort and nothing more. Bait and switch. Nothing new offered, no attempt at compromise, just same old same old.

Sad.

 
Any bets on him calling out 6 GOP memebers for wanting to end the shutdown?

That will be popcorn I have hot and ready to eat.

If someone, specifically a .gov employee is claiming they will lose their homes, cars, etc. were in bad position before this shutdown, especially after not even a month. When you sign your contract you are informed of all non-pay situations. #1. You have a personal responsibility to have savings. #2. You can apply for an interest free advance. #3. If you are inelegible for a advance, you qualify for unemployment. #4. Apply for a low interest personal loan. Don't blame your inability to live within your means on a temporary solution.
They will eventually receive back pay.

There are numerous Guard, Reserve and Active Duty civil engineering units within the military that would love the chance to actually build the wall. As far as appropriation and deducting from, it wouldn't be the first time. In any case, that is a decision of Congress and a larger matter of National Security that quite frankly is a rediculous parallel, especially considering it is a completely different Department. How about reel in the billions being sent overseas to other countries? How about the unnecessary migrant grants? Ballooning welfare programs? Point being, there is fat to trim everywhere that is lower hanging and could easily pay for this wall but that isn't the issue. This is Dems grandstanding and their resist effort because it is Trump, a non-career politician.

I wonder if anyone will start calling out the old rich white folk named Polosi and Schumer because they are supporting open borders and illegal immigration that directly and negatively impacts the lower working class that just so happens to be overwhelmingly black and brown Americans.
