It’s in Bitch McTurtle’s hands. Is he going to continue being an obstructionist piece of dung?
Waste of time.
Trump already promised Piglosi and Schummer he wouldn’t build one if he could give amnesty to DACA.

You may be right. The Congressional Two-Step;
One step forward,
Three steps back,
Turn around twice, then repeat in a the opposite direction.
This should be vetoed by the President! 1.2 trillion!? Really!? We don’t have this money! Get conservative and reign in the budget!!
A good first step ... How 'bout it, Bitch McTurtle? It's called "border security"; it's one of your party's promises.
The wall will cost about $12 billion. $1.6 billion is a small percentage of that.
For context, $1.6 billion is 0.13% of $1.2 trillion.

The Art of The Deal.
Come on, we’ll all say some prayers and have a little faith :)
Not saying you’re wrong in your assumption but let’s see what happens first.
The only reason we are in the position of Trump working with the Deomcrats on DACA and the Wall is because the Republicans have refused to do their jobs and have refused to live up to the campaign promises that got them elected.
The GOP are the true obstructionists here. Whether the deal is good or bad, Trump is only doing deals with the Dems because the RINOs won’t do anything.
I must be slow here. I thought a CR was just signed that kept the government open through December.
Wall Ping.
Haven’t we been kicking around this $1.6 billion number for months now?
Indeed. This is from May:
“The budget proposed by the White House on Tuesday includes $2.6 billion for border security — $1.6 billion of which will be for “bricks and mortar for a wall,” Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney told reporters on Monday.
A source familiar with the budget justification says the money would largely cover just a few dozen miles of wall, tracking what the administration had previously proposed for the $1 billion it asked for unsuccessfully for 2017 construction.
As CNN previously reported, that $1 billion was requested for just 62 miles of border barrier, 14 of which was replacement fencing. “
Privatize the wall and hire a contractor to make sure nobody crosses illegally. Then grant the contractor immunity/amnesty for all legal activity within 1 mile of our southern boarder with regards to the rights of illegal aliens (only).
For $1.6 Billion dollars? I am sure there would be some takers.
Bu the way, what are the details of this budget and how much less is it for a period of the same time than in previous year budgets?
How much are we reducing the spending by in this conservative budget?
I’ll take the answer off air. Thanks.
All of this talk about billions and trillions makes me feel like I’m watching “Cosmos” with Carl Sagan (RIP), lol.
$658.1 billion for the Defense Dept? Sounds like a little spare change out of that account could build us a beautiful wall from coast to coast.
