Congress may stiff Trump on wall funding

Congressional Republicans might deliver some more bad news for President Donald Trump, fresh off their embarrassing failure to scrap Obamacare: No new money is coming to build his wall.

Trump hoped to jump-start construction of a massive wall on the U.S.-Mexico border with money in a must-pass government funding bill. But Democratic leaders are vowing to block any legislation that includes a single penny for the wall.

If you read the article looks like an opening act of a kabuki theater performance.

These dems and repubs are really F(ing) our President, aren’t they? Bastards.

[backwoods-engineer]

We see them now for what they are: Democrats’ wearing Lincoln’s and Reagan’s suits. They no more want illegal immigration controlled, or to stop the march of socialism, than Demonrats do.

Rescind their pay raises.

*****************************

Starts with a lie, there was no effort to scrap Obamacare.
Ryancare was an effort to preserve Obamacare and hang it around Trump’s neck to make him a one term President.

Can the President just levy a tax on all the Western Union money going to and from Mexico?

1-2 percent ought to do it.

The Democrats in R jerseys want to get back to business as usual, importing cheap labor and selling out America.

Well, at least they tried. May as well continue voting for them because they tried. Maybe things will get better when they have at least 80 senators and 400 congressmen and the white house. / sarc

[Leep]

I’ll bet you a $1.33 Ryan runs for President in 2020.

I’m so tired of this “may” crap. News Flash for POLITICO ... Congress “may” decide to disband themselves tomorrow. THERE, now they have another “news” item to publish at Politico. (Jerks!)

[ClearCase_guy]

As a MA resident, my outrage can have little effect, but I am prepared to never vote for a Republican again. We'll see if they get their act together.

I have long been proud of the fact that I have NEVER voted for any Democrat.
I am now realizing, however, that EVERYONE I have ever voted for was a Democrat.

Pres. Trump should start a GoFundMe page and on it, asking for donations and listing the names of members of Congress who refuse to “make America safe again.” We would be happy to contribute to building the Trump Wall.

>>Can the President just levy a tax on all the Western Union money going to and from Mexico?<<

Maybe. I think if it is crafted carefully an EO could get it done.

Better to have congress do the fee.

[ptsal]

Good idea.

[Lurkinanloomin]

He can run, but he can’t hide his globalism.

If he runs he will have as much success as Yeb!

[Grampa Dave]

Any so called news article that uses May or Might is a zero fact based wet dream posing as news.

Fake news from the P people.

The wall is everything. No wall no peace. Let CWII begin.

[central_va]

The problem is that polls show the border wall is not all that popular, particularly if the United States is paying for it, and it does not unify congressional Republicans in the way Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch or even the basic goal of repealing Obamacare have done.

Fake news alert.

Agreed. It is the penultimate promise of the Trump campaign. If our government cannot deliver on it, then they are not our legitimate leaders....time for another American Revolution.
