All the Leftist slugs of today happily voted for the big kahuna when it was for Soetero, like it was yesterday.

$59 Billion over 25 years. Trump initially wanted half that, and then went down for $5.7 Billion.

QAnon alluded in a question to Trump already having the $25 Billion and passed earlier in Congress, inside I think it was the Defense Budget. Is that correct?

This whole Show Time would be for further exposing the Leftist Utopians for the Godless Globalism fanatics they are.

Re:Border Security Economic Etc BS Act of 2013

After reading that list of yea voting Senators makes me wonder if they got a cut of the $$ to vote yes and then since no $$ left, wall/fencing/barrier/beaded curtain not built.

Part of THEIR plan to enrich themselves at the expense of the great unwashed who do not live in the Walled City of DC.
