The Trump administration is preparing to take money from military construction funds more than six months after first promising to do so in order to build sections of the wall along the US-Mexico border, according to multiple administration and defense officials... Though it's unclear which military construction would be put on hold...
White House officials have held talks in the last weeks to begin planning for the move, two administration officials said...
The use of these additional military construction funds could invite a new legal challenge. Administration officials said the action was in the works but that it was unclear when the Pentagon would officially begin shifting the funds.

Nice slogan for a new version of the “MAGA” hat. Might be a nice business venture.
He has to work through Congress and they thought he would be in jail from Russian collusion.
How far up Paul Ryans butt to you keep your head?
There has been some conjecture that Trump has used some Puerto Rico hurricane recovery money for border walls. Anyone know anything about this, and why there is about a $30 billion discrepancy between what Congress approved and what PR is supposed to have received? ALso why does Trump keep saying he has spent more than double in PR than what Congress has actually approved.
It’s been about 3 thousand years since the Israelis begged for kings instead of judges.
But our media today pleads for rule by judges LOL!
> On the day after the election he should have been poised to ask Turtle and Ryan to provide funding by Jan 20. When the funding was not in place, he should have been poised. too declare an emergency on Jan 21,2017.
If you truly believe that was the course of action the President should have taken, and when you realized there was no funding for the wall as of Jan 22, 2017, did you speak up and voice your constructive opinion at the time?
It is pointless to second-guess the President now with the benefit of hindsight unless the purpose is to depress support for him, though I doubt many people will be affected when they know and appreciate the fact that President Trump is the only person who will build the wall.
Which military construction funds will NOT be impacted? New officers quarters and anything that serves the brass. EM construction and base reconstruction will be hard hit.
“Legal challenges” by black-robed tyrants.
“Which military construction funds will NOT be impacted?”
Two categories that I am aware of:
1. Current year work. That gives Congress the opportunity to restore the money in the next budget, without slowing down any projects, or incurring any extra costs to shut down/start back up, or contract penalties.
2. Housing.
Think I heard this shat before
“There has been some conjecture that Trump has used some Puerto Rico hurricane recovery money for border walls.”
Recently, the Administration applied some FEMA money ($155 million) from the Disaster Relief Fund (general contingency funds - not specifically for Puerto Rico) to support the handling of detainees at the border - detention space and hearing locations for asylum-seekers (not border wall).
The Left (media) discussed Puerto Rico, because Hurricane Dorian was heading that way at the time (it has since missed Puerto Rico).
Amen. PDJT is going to get right on that as soon as he gets approval from Hillary.
Right on!!!
How pathetic is CNN.
I remember when it was the “go-to” place to get the news.
How the mighty have fallen.
I spoke out in 2017 when nothing was being done. Were you in the kool aide line at the time.
I voted for trump and i am critique iff his inaction on bringing political criminals to justice and the wall effort to date. For that, despite my vote for him and hundreds of positive comments on his actual accomplishments, I am called never tramper by kook aide drinkers and rally zombies.
yet they participate in court cases and defer to judges
far enough to see you are an idiot., What the —— does this have to do with Ryan except trump had to ask for funds so he could declare an emergency because Ryan and turtle wouldn’t perform., Your comment is illogical.
Boy i am SO not in the know.
But it could very well be.
If proven, they would try to bury him about puerto rican hurricane relief
But they are alwaays trying to bury him anyway
Thank you.
No offense to the original poster, but I am sick to death of “headlines” that are full of
“poised to”
“prepared to”
“considering”
“Intends”
and so on. It is news when Trump actually SPENDS THE MONEY to build the wall. Not when he “intends” to spend the money or when he is “poised to” spend the money.
We have allowed ourselves since early in the Mulehead investigation to be sucked up in “future news.”
poised to
prepared to
considering
Intends

You and me both.
I’ve had my tagline for 4 years now, based on campaign promises.
I feel a little foolish.
Would be surprising if Mil budget not slashed or cut deeply. Current House rulers hate the mil unless its theirs
