Securing funding for President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall once again seems to be getting punted further down the road by congressional leadership.

During a radio interview with WHAS on Friday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the wall on the U.S.-Mexico border will likely not make it into the next funding legislation, which must be passed by the end of September in order to avoid another government shutdown.

When directly asked if the funding of the border wall would have to wait until after midterm elections, the Republican senator replied “probably,” noting that it is “something [Democrats and Republicans] do have a disagreement on.”

“But most of the government will be covered and then at the end of the year, if we can’t reach an agreement on that, we’ll do what’s called a ‘continuing resolution’ for that little portion of the government spending that’s left unpassed in individual bills,” McConnell added.

McConnell and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan met with Trump on Wednesday to discuss the funding legislation. The following day, Ryan also indicated the wall funding looked unlikely to be included in the current legislation.

Jim Jordan would be heavenly. I’ll be somewhat surprised if he can oust Kevin McCarthy. As for McCarthy, he goes with the flow and had his head up Ryan’s butt, but seems to have realized immigration is what got DjT elected so who knows about him. I don’t know how beholden he is with the CofC lobby and the Koch’s.

Whatever...shut the sumbich down!

We could build a hell of a wall if we shuttered the FBI, the EPA, the Dept of Education and about a hundred other useless/redundant departments and agencies.

And then....MORE TAX CUTS!!!
