***Pentagon spokesman Army Lt. Col. Jamie Davis said, "to date, there is no plan to build sections of the wall."***

I’m with you there.
I’m waiting to see what Pres. Trump’s first veto will veto.
Vetoes rarely get overridden.

Trump is stymied by not having anything like a working majority in either house of Congress on border issues, even though the GOP had a majority in both. Judicial activism and a judiciary dominated by Obama and Bill Clinton appointees are another obstacle. Even if he wanted to, Trump cannot fight and win all the time. He has accomplished a lot in two years, despite these difficulties.

I am embarrassed and dismayed by how easily played FReepers are. Has the media told anyone the truth in the past 50 years? Why would you believe them and not the one man who has accomplished miracles in 24 months?

The Sore Cruzers from the primaries are the main culprits.

Just like I predicted, they want America to be destroyed so they can say ‘I told you so.’ They’re gleeful at every setback that this worthless Congress has given to us.

Many of the rest are shills from ShareBlue and the like.

Just a few weeks ago, many in the media were touting how Trump had kept his campaign promises. There was a circulating list of way over 200 accomplishments, more than any other president.

I think why some people are so quick to condemn everything about Trump because of the wall... in most cases, these were people who were Never-Trumpers to start with, or those on the fence.

Now they jump at condemning him to validate their early doubts. They would rather their ‘expert’ opinion be proven RIGHT than whether the country survives or not. They are concern trolls operating under the guise of fake patriotism, the same who believed he never had a chance to win the election and didn’t even want him to win.

I have faith that there is no one else who can achieve what Trump does, and if the whole government becomes lost to the Dems, maybe that will be the best time to proclaim the end of the country.

They didn’t dismiss it. That’s false.

Mattis is top hand. Never doubt him. Your investigation into our top brass should and will lead you to the answer but it is not Mattis

That’s great, because if he does this spending money on the wall without an appropriation is going to be count 1 of the impeachment.

We live in a lawless time. Only a fool would worry about that trivial detail.

You didn’t really just call me a fool, did you? Well let’s see: A goodly number of GOP members of the Congress hate the president. We’ll be bombarded Day and night on the MSM by former judges and law professors telling us that this is just like the impoundment issue that was one of the counts that was going to be in the Nixon impeachment. Sage GOP leaders will shake their heads and express grave concerns. At least a handful of GOP break ranks and vote for the impeachment. Will it get 2/3 in the Senate? Probably not, but at least a couple of the usuals suspects will break ranks making the unsuccessful effort to remove the President also “bipartisan.”

Or you could veto the CR, go to the people on nationwide TV and ask them to force Congress to secure the border and tell them, without the people’s support, the cause is lost. You know, stand and fight rather than kick the can down the road for the third time this year.

If you don’t think the first scenario is highly plausible, and the second scenario at least with a try, then I’d like a revote on the “who’s a fool” issue.

And I’d appreciate not being called names. Jerk
