Rinos and democrats dominate congress. And you want to defer to them.
They are Republicans. who votes in Republicans......answer, other like minded republicans. seriously do you not study the politicions you put in office prior to voting them in....or do you just assume because they are Republicans ? Boy your party is really then relly pretty pathetic.Your problem then is you cant circumvent your own kind. Ya made your own bed, right!

By doing nothing but deferring to rinos and democrats, which is what you want to do because you want open borders. Got it.

go chase yourself! I dont defer to anyone .....it is your kind who put these arses in office in the first place....but you cant admit to that. Its like churches who neglect to do background checks only later to find all sorts of devient behavior from their elected clergy.

Now Im a very conservative person.....so I didnt hold my nose & vote for trump. Nor do I vote for liberals who would circumvent the efforts of people who have sacrificed all for the country. Freaking Russians & Chinese etc who try to interfere with my country must be smoked out & punished....(I would use a death penalty for that type) and I believe George Washington should have been prosecuted & punished for his handling of imposing taxes on farmers for manufacturing & distributing of whiskey. How was it fair to press these farmers into service during the revolutionary war and then screw them out of any profits off their only cash crop? Frigging wooden tooth limey. Only they weren't wooden teeth, they were slaves teeth.

But I digress, you want something on trumps wish list. What do they estimate, $70 Billion to build & 150 million a year to maintain. Now the Dept., of Homeland Security said it could cost about $21.6 Billion, not including maintenance. Right!!! even if you put trumpeter's in Congress you would have a fight on your hands....remember, congress works for the people & they can vote them out every 2 years.

But the question at hand is whether Trump can slide money from something that's authorized to something that isn't. Congress could have reduced funding for other military spending and authorized it for a "a wall," but it specifically chose not to.

Some folks think that a wall is the most pressing defense issue, I guess, even though billions and billions are already being poured into fortification and more agents.

Some folks think that replacing antiquated and worn-out equipment might matter more to the grunt who's depending on it to save his life on the battlefield.

Because of Congress’ lack of being able to do their job, & never passing an actual budget, now continually relying on omnibus bills to ‘get by’ for a few months, we will continue to get inundated with pork projects to even get the vote for that. Omnibus bills give a lot of latitude to the president, plus he can veto the omnibus if he wants. He will get the wall, guaranteed.

Personally Calminian, I dont give a damn. But you did vote for a big government spender politician who was a democrat for years. I say your half arsed there already.
And I say you’re back to your old self. Anger management issues? And you didn’t even serve? No PTSD for you.

Did you see a question mark? So you didn’t answer the question, & according to your posts to others that’s a gotcha moment. So enlighten us.
