As I said the last time this story was posted:
The Democrats got Bush 41 to accept a modest tax hike in exchange for spending cuts ‘in the spirit of compromise,’ then forever afterwards bashed him for breaking his “read my lips” promise.
Trump said “I will build a wall.” A wall he damn well better build, and before 2020.
Too many politicians making money from drug and human trafficking with an open border.
Trump is winning this battle. People will question why we need “non essential government” and call for budget cuts.
Trump should veto any budget that fails to include wall funding. Then target specific pet projects for Dems to flip votes.
If the Repubs fold on this, we can forget about that party.
And since we all know they will fold, we had better get moving on a real opposition party.
Right now.
Really.
Ann is weird. She is so focused on herself. I agree with some things she says but she is over the top but not for “good beliefs.” She isn’t really authentic and she really has such a need for attention. There is something off about her.
Since she actually willingly got closely affectionate with Bill Maher, to me she’s like the girl Jerry Seinfeld tried to date on the show who was rejected by Newman. Can’t get over that.
GOP can’t wait to install Hillary.
She is more than willing to “cross the lose”
As long as she gets a cu
Whenever were those reasons to not spend money in DC?..................
Ann is right. Ignoring her warnings and predictions means one has a serious case of cranio-rectal inversion. Her yapping is affecting Trump like a ampule of smelling salts. He may be perturbed at it but it is reality.
She goes really light on a lot of the congresscritters.
Trump needs help to get this through and it will be a serious battle even if he gets the funds. We haven’t even gotten to the eminent domain lawsuits, the EPA lawsuits, the green weenies lawsuits all judge shopped to delay, delay, delay.
I’ll be amazed if we get and serious traction on “new” wall before 2020. Not faulting POTUS; its the rest of government that is against the people.
I don’t care if illegals are criminals, rapists, or drug dealers. If they don’t have our permission, THEY SHOULDN’T BE ALLOWED TO ENTER OUR COUNTRY!! This is not rocket science!
The Sunshine Patriot drones on....
A wall segment makes it difficult for invaders to overwhelm Border Patrol personnel and quickly disappear into a built-up area.
Each wall segment is a tool. It needs to be reinforced by Border Patrol people.
Modern houses don’t get built by tools alone, but modern houses don’t get built without tools.
I believe legal reform is important too. Unfortunately, that is now more difficult since Republicans don’t run the House of Representatives.
H.R. 695
This bill is the vehicle for passage for government funding to avert a partial government shutdown on Friday, December 21, 2018. On December 19, the Senate passed this bill with provisions to fund the government through February 8, 2019. Subsequently, on December 20, the House added $5 billion in funding for a border wall, sending the bill back to the Senate.
Although most government agencies were already funded for fiscal year 2019, this bill would fund the remaining agencies for about seven weeks. According to the Senate appropriations committee, the bill would fund for that time:
•USDA, FDA
•Departments of Commerce, Justice, Homeland Security, Interior, Environment, State, Transportation, Housing and Urban Development
•Programs related to science, financial services, and other agencies
•The National Flood Insurance Program
•The Violence Against Women Act
•The Pesticide Registration Improvement Act
•Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
•Immigration extensions (EB-5, E-Verify, Conrad 30 program for international medical school graduates, Special Immigrant Religious Workers program, and H2B returning worker authority for DHS)
•The Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards Act
•Two expiring provisions of the Pandemic All-Hazards Preparedness Act
•Medicaid Money-Follows-the-Person and Spousal Impoverishment, through March 31

Ann is a Romney girl ...
but she’ll play either side of the fence when it suits her.
Sec. 141.Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, there is appropriated for “U.S. Customs and Border Protection—Procurement, Construction, and Improvements” $5,710,357,000 for fiscal year 2019, to remain available until September 30, 2023.

Yup, it’s one sentence.
The bill, H.R. 695 has already been written.
Please, no more Ann Coulter!
I just emailed the White House to let President Trump know that I want that wall, and why. Sending similar correspondence to my senator, Schumer, would be a waste of time, as would sending such correspondence to my other senator, ditzy antisemitic Kirsten Gillibrand, or my Congresscritter, the former immigration attorney Grace Meng.
Let President Trump know you want that wall! Flood the White House with correspondence to that effect.
I am really beginning to not like her!
Enhanced border security think East German border fortifactions ! Not the virtual border fence of the Bush era!
