>>I assume you never asked that question when the Halfrican p***ed away 8 trillion dollars over his 8 years in office.<<

Hey, I wasn’t asking a snarky rhetorical question, but rather a request for clarification as to what the meaning of oversight would be in this situation.

The legislators did not expect the President to declare the border wall as a national defense structure and then draw from military appropriations for its construction.

How could it NOT be declared a national defense structure? These people think it's ornamental?

Brilliant.

Oversight means they will ensure the President draws on funds to be applied to the legislative purposes the funds were allocated for.

The President may decide to not draw funds marked for a legislative purpose such as ‘family planning’ (abortion). But IF HE DOES DRAW FUNDS from that account, he must use them for the purpose they were allocated for.

See #99 to see how the President is getting around the Omnibus pitfalls.

Repeating: “Oversight’ means the President will be watched to adhere to the legislative purposes written by Congress. But post #99 shows how he played them. They got rolled! They can ‘oversight’ all they want, the President is not violating anything.

I do not remember any post at any time in the last 20+ years (and I was here before that under a different moniker) made by you that merits the deference you think you are owed. Swelled heads do not persuade me.

> “How could it NOT be declared a national defense structure?”

Who knows what the establishment GOP thinks? They don’t even know what they think. Ask them a question and they’ll give you five different answers.

The dems think Trump’s Wall is an anti-immigration barrier, a barrier to their new and growing imported voter base, a barrier to their plans for taking back power.

Catchy picture...Ah so if we like what the Tweeter or V- Blogger says, it goes in Breaking News. Weak.

See my post 16 for reasoning (and I was not snarky about it)...Guess I should have hit abuse (which I did NOT do) and asked it be moved so I don’t have to defend my question, but rather I asked poster why, as cannot have everything in breaking news sidebar or it defeats the purpose of the sidebar—kind of like highlighting every sentence, and every paragraph.

I see it was moved off the Breaking News Sidebar, so maybe I was not so out of line to merely ask.

Amen? Amen!

Understood, thanks for the clarification.

Money is fungible. Which dollars were used for what purpose is not traceable unless you use marked cash.

"Breaking on twitter: Trump threatens VETO of Omnibus Spending Bill"

That thread was posted almost immediately after the PRESIDENT'S tweet--that is my Point...Breaking news is for BREAKING (Immediate), important NEWS. It is still there on sidebar and will work its way down as new stories break.

"I think the admin decide if it is breaking news or not and if they want to leave it there or not. Not you!"

I didn't decide anything...I merely asked a question, stated an opinion, and frankly, I note it is not there. Some would privately contact admins to have moved; however, that is not my style...

"...you guys who are so pissed off" I would not say I am a "pissed off guy." I more saddened because the opposition media/dems will be using this issue to win House...Oh and I read at least 3 articles with same content about wall funding and planned parenthood, so I am informed or at least aware. I hope the VBlogger's interpretation is correct, but I am taking a wait and see on the analysis--would like some pros to weigh in. Just saying. I would be happy to share some of these other articles here if you missed them.

I did not mean to be grumpy, and I was not commenting on the content of the video...Hey if a kid wants to blog on the bill, good for him--everyone has right to make a living.

I appreciate people being informed,however, if everything is posted in Breaking News Side Bar, why even have it? Another example ...if every paragraph in a book is highlighted, nothing stands out.

Guess it is just me, but I liken the sidebar to the Fox News Alerts Chyron that runs at bottom of page. Tune in for 5 minute and see top news happening at the time...

Hope you enjoyed your croissants~putting them on my shopping list.

Once the President is given the money, he has a number of choices in spending it....some of the money is fungible and some isn't.

By Trump declaring a Human Rights Emergency AND has notified Congress that he's invoking the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, this opens up new spending options. 6. President Trump has just communicated that he has the authority to NOT spend any funds he doesn't deem necessary and will return them to the US Treasury. For example: funds the House allocated for Planned Parenthood? Trump can simply not allocate the funds ...

Trump's declarations also make some funds fungible. For instance if he determines that building a Wall on the Southern Border is a defense against Human Trafficking? He can move funds from anywhere else in the Defense Dept Allocation & simply build the Wall.

8. Congress is powerless to stop cash reallocations AND cannot stop the DOD from taking measures under a presidential-declared Emergency.

Despite the House's strict language about the Border Wall, it is outweighed by Trump's declaration of a State of Emergency.

Trump needs to use these powers - he has nothing to lose. The press will hate him whatever he does, democrats will hate him no matter what he does, Democrat War Rooms will still send him hate letters written so they sound like they come from his base... TRUMP HAS NOTHING TO LOSE BY DOING IT HIS WAY - AND EVERYTHING TO GAIN.

Trump probably intends to use powers seldom used before his ascension to the presidency. Gonna be fun to observe.
