From JamesP81 yesterday:

“Trump is finished in my household. If I wanted unconstitutional infringements of the 2nd and 4th Amendments I’d have voted for Clinton.

Screw this guy.”

“...according to three people familiar with the meeting....”

This doesn’t sound made up at all....

Now that three people have said this, I’m convinced the POTUS is an ineffective fool, going around asking everyone for silly things and getting turned down.

Why did I vote for this clown? If only I had listened to three people in 2016, we could have had a real POTUS, like a Clinton or a Bush.

Note to self: Next time three people say something I should listen.

Yeah I got that silly thing called a job that would make helping build it a little tough :)

And I PAY enough in taxes so that diverting from the military, and it is REALLY not diverting as it is a DEFENSE issue, is the answer.

Let the Army Corp of Engineers design it and let the army build it

In the photo, those are not replacements. They are 30 feet high. Get it?

They're replacing a section that already exist, not with a new wall, but the wall that was already approved last year in May 2017. Not a new wall, and not new height other than what was already planned and paid for before the omnibus.

How is “WHAT RELEVANT?” You make no reference to any comment of mine. If you go back through the comments as opposed to running mouth before reading-you will see the comments others made about the military funds being for manpower and what should be equipment, spare parts, combat readiness etc. Our military is damn well paid. Look at E-1 and 2’s getting housing allowances. Since when did some idiot think a private E-1 should be married? I recall $66 a month as a PVT E-2 in 1966. Where did you serve then?

"Somebody on Mattis’s staff leaked to WaPoo. Based on his track record so far as SecDef I see no chance he wants a dog in the wall fight. He is mainline careerist Deep State as far as I am concerned. He’s punted on every controversial issue so far. The proof is in the pudding."

This is correct. Mattis opposes Trump's idea to use military funding for the wall. Mattis' days may be numbered.

How do you think Gen’s and ADM’s got nominated and promoted under Obozzo? First we had don’t ask-—tell. Then full blown PC/MC senior officers who turned their head to fags and lesbians. Mattis in a foxhole? Two SF teams had won that war and then the usual BS with conventional troops.

Make it as a IOU

We'll get the $$$ back during the next few years of funding!!!

We'll just borrow $20 Billion from the fund
