My response: It’s not Trump’s wall, it’s OUR wall. Your myopic view of the world fails to realize every dollar spent on the wall is multitudes of savings in the future. Funding for the wall was authorized in 2006, but Congress hasn’t appropriated it. Time for you to do your job or leave!

[Jamestown1630]

What can possibly be more critically ‘national security’ than securing our borders?

[TheCipher]

Ok Kaine. If you are so concerned about these projects, introduce a bill the will fund these projects independently.

[mrsmith]

keaine is an idiot.
It’s hard to say more ...

[puppypusher]

Since when do Rats Care about military construction spending?The only time they care is when their local area is being effected one way or the other.

Otherwise they are against any construction at all.

[VeniVidiVici]

Tim Kaine is for Open Borders and funding Illegal Aliens healthcare. He, nor ANY OTHER DEMOCRAT, COULD GIVE TWO WHITS ABOUT MILITARY FUNDING!!

[xrmusn]

In VA, I am proud to say I have voted for the ‘loser’ for the past few Senate elections.

IMNSHO, the ONLY legacy Kaine should be saddled with is he was picked to be VP in a 100% lock, shoo-in race and he did not even have the grace to resign his Senate seat.

No matter what one may think of Bob Dole, he had the manners to resign his Senate seat while running for Pres.

Then again, the ‘talk’ was that McAwful was supposed to be the VP so he could just ‘step in’ when HRC was ‘finished’.

McA must have ‘known’ something was amiss as he didn’t get the nod, maybe he had a conscience over the way that Bernie was screwed over...NAH....

“President Trump’s decision to pull funding from critical national security projects is deeply concerning.”

The border IS national security!
It’s quite literally the edge of our nation and it’s being overrun by Invaders!

[fella]

Defending the borders of our nation is the first duty of our military.

[2ndDivisionVet]

We built a SCIF at Fort Hood using surplus lumber and supplies. TEN MILLION DOLLARS?! I doubt if we spent $500 dollars. Something’s fishy.

[faithhopecharity]

its not PDJT’s wall, its OUR wall
and
it is not anyone’s vanity project, ha ha
its to help defend our country (from any MORE Islamic terroristas or Mexican drug gangsters getting IN here, as if we don’t already have WAY too many anyway!!!)

[Bringbackthedraft]

Following OAN ticker on how much was paid to illegals, its up to 188+B. The wall is 3.5. More Liberal BS on $$$$ that is not wasted or unaccounted for. If the wall stopped 25% it would amount to 47B less paid out, using today’s figure. Kaine is looking for the military vote, and those who are in their employ. The funds may come from another branch. If Baltimore can’t account for the 16B they got, send them 12.5 next time and use the 3,5 difference from their aid.

[John Leland 1789]

It’s called national security. The president can put 3.6 billion dollars into the wall, or he can, in my view, spend 3.6 billion in live Army training exercises along the Mexican border, in which the Army is required to stop any crossings whatsoever, except at legal entry points. That is, the U.S. Army becomes the wall. That would be just fine with me.

[philman_36]

The contractors must have given him the bad news...no kickbacks for you!

/sarcasm

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Tim Kaine is my “senator” but he has never given a damn about our military’s real needs for national defense. The only time he “cares” is when there is an election, his or just for Democrat incumbents/candidates.

Tim, get back on your meds and go to hell, you stinking coward and fool.

[JoeVet]

According to the numbers I could dig up, the military budget for FY2019 was $686 Billion ... that’s right with a Capital ‘B’. So, breaking out my handy, dandy calculator - President Trump reallocated rough and dirty 0.52% of the military’s budget.

Tim, I hate to tell you this, but that $686 Billion (yes still with a B) was raised by President Trump/Congress to the military’s budget by $80 Billion (still with a B) for FY2019. That’s less than you congress critters piss away in a weekend. That’s practically a rounding error.

Someone already said it - he’s just pissed off that he couldn’t snatch any of that money for his off-shore bank account.

[SkyPilot]

1. The Democrats have raided and tortured our military for decades. It was the Democrats insistence to make the military "pay for" 50% of all Sequestration budget cuts, despite being less than 15% of the budget under Obama. They hate military spending, and they hate the military.

2. The Democrats could have allotted any money to the military or to military construction that they wanted last January - but instead, they simply wanted to stop the wall so they could import Illegal Invaders.

3. Kaine is a black, dirty liar. Democrats are black, dirty liars. Most of the media are black, dirty liars.

[mikey_hates_everything]

Remember when Gov Timmy screwed up the budget and shut down all of the rest stops and slashed DMV hours, and then everything was restored to normal once his Republican successor (McDonnell) took over? I do. FU, Timmy.

[Dixie Yooper]

I think Mitt Romney just found his running mate for 2020...

[Manly Warrior]

Agreed. The military/govt complex has many facilities that are redundant and can be used for these purposes, just move the function to where the facilities already exist. Now, as 24 yr veteran, we do need to prioritize other things as well. No one like t see their project slide down on the scale, but we do indeed have constraints, and until congress decides to agree with these priorities, then the shuffling of the extant and moveable funds needs to occur. He is the chief exec and the CiC, so it is his bailiwick.

Build the wall. raid the pork barrel of project funds wisely.

[elpadre]

Hopefully, he is eliminating Congressional pork which will make them howl.
