Er, one more attempt at reason.
Where would Trump actually “get” the money? Even in your wild plan if he did want to “re-authorize” spending? Where would he get the money?
Someone has to APPROPRIATE it.
There is no federal piggy bank where a president dips his hand in and pulls out cash.
The House has to APPROPRIATE it. Do you really see the House going along with appropriating money for line items that are illegal?
Exactly. So we have 40 Freedom Caucus guys and about 30 senators who voted against this. That’s 70 out of 535.
Not exactly easy to change.
Well, we have 1.5B to start with on Monday so he’ll have plenty of time to hunt down the rest.
This Act may be cited as the ''Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018''
SEC. 5. STATEMENT OF APPROPRIATIONS.
The following sums in this Act are appropriated, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018.
Surely there is a new concrete-like invention that could be used to build walls. If not, toss in a pinch of parsley and call it “buttcrete” or sumpin’

LOL! Baggie, a genius upthread (forgive my sievelike memory for not remembering who) pointed out that he can use STEELE POSTS and fill in with REBAR..... then when he is allowed to do so, he can go back and fill in with CONCRETE! Can definitely get quite a bit done on furthering the project before concrete phase.
That same poster pointed out that this is the same kind of process as what is used for skyscraper building. Our Donald is not puzzled by anything having to do with construction! :-D
Just a FYI tidbit...
Rizvi Traverse Management LLC...looking at their "investments", they are heavy backers of Dorsey (invested in Square AND Twitter)...also, Zuckerbergstein (Facebook backers)...and...Musk (SpaceEx backers)...hmmmmm

Maybe just once the pubs sandbagged the rats? I must be hallucinating!

Working to share that hallucination, defconw! It COULD be true!
Bkmk
As I recall, Jim Morrisson came up with the name "The Doors" for his band from Aldous Huxley and The Doors of Perception.
Or something like that...it does tie into Q's insistence on "expand your thinking"
So PP is being FUNDED - they just can’t use the cash to perform abortions????
Laugable, isn’t it. Money is fungible.
President has mentioned several times that we need to see through the Wall to the other side --> no wall concrete needed.
Concrete can be used for foundational concrete piles for anchoring and fortification because that's not above-ground 'wall' structure. If Schmuck Schumer disagrees and wants a bloody nose, he can bring it.
Steel grated walls with electronic security will do just fine
The above perimeter security fencing was used at the DNC convention to keep protestors out. The President can order it be made higher and more secure while tweeting that he will be using the same type of security fence the democrats used to keep their critics at bay while his walled perimeter will be keeping violent criminals out of the US. Big difference.

The Omnibus prohibits adding more border control agents. This one's easy. No additional border control are needed. Just take up Sheriff Joe's propose flooding of sanctuary cities and direct them to border patrol ops. Block grant states to hire more state border police to supplement US Border Control in the enforcement of the border. Rapid response teams managed by state law enforcement can rush to a point in the border wall where an attempted breach is in progress.
There are dozens of ways to get the job done that don't trigger violating moronic Omnibus prohibitions.

Lastly, the Omnibus lasts for a relatively short time. After the midterms, the left will be hammered mercilessly as a permanent Wall and agent funding budget is established.
heritage foundation has a summary (they don’t like it )
I think you are being kind, but maybe...
PRESIDENT TRUMP is a modern day NEHEMIAH. If you read the account in the Bible, he got the job done despite his enemies.

Amen! Darlin and I were doing an Old Testament survey early in the campaign and read that book and were floored at the parallels!
BUILD THAT WALL!
Be darned if I know. Haven’t figured that out yet.
I’m still trying to figure out border control, mixed in with TSA and SS. You really do need six lawyers to figure out what we can and cannot do and when we can or cannot do it.
