I seem to remember a lot of “Czars” being appointed, a lot of “I have a pen and a phone”, lot of rule by decree — the Demagogic Party scum don’t have any complaint coming.

Although the White House requested $25 billion in funding for wall construction, lawmakers included just $1.6 billion in the final version of their omnibus. That money can only go to fencing, however, and cannot be used to build a concrete wall anywhere along the border.

I’m not seeing any delegated power for a POTUS to decide how to spend money or for Congress to delegate that power. We’ve had enough Arbitrary government! No more.

among other things, baraak hussein bin soetoro has no problem finding away to loot the US Treasury for $145 billion in unmarked bills to fly out to Iran in the dark of night.

who authorized that treasonous theft?

I had to laugh at The Roaring Blonde Irish Vagina.

While Trump wasn't MY first choice....that being Dr. Carson and secondly Ted Cruz, the political bull in the china shop Trump seems the man of the moment in history. It seems too many are eager to jump ship when difficulties arise. There have been moments of doubts until Trump came through. I expect the political neophyte to have a rough go of it. As for "sleepers", I've seen them. Or, what I suspect to be sleepers. In due course, they will seem to flame out.

Well, in some places along the border, fencing is all that may be needed.

This won't be the Great Wall of China.

It's a start anyway.

The Koran did. It’s the book and Law he really upheld.

Or, he could just read the Constitution of the United States, which says, inter alia in Article I, Section 9, paragraph 7:

"No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law;"

More, here, among many other places: https://www.heritage.org/constitution/#!/articles/1/essays/67/appropriations-clause

Even "discretionary" funds are earmarked under fairly specific categories. The idea that Congress would allow Trump, or any other President, an $80 billion slush fund is preposterous given that what Congress critters want more than anything else is credit for handing out money.

You don't have to. The link I posted is an "unrolled" twitter thread, that is, an ordinary web page. Read it. LS explains why all of this 4D chess nonsense is wrong.
