Omnibus Bill Includes Specific Clause Barring Funding for Donald Trump ‘Wall’
Breitbart ^ | 22 Mar 2018 | Charlie Spiering

Posted on 03/22/2018 4:32:15 PM PDT by detective

The 2,232 page Omnibus bill includes a specific clause barring funding for a wall on the southern border that mirrors the new prototypes already there. The bill reads:

The amounts designated in subsection (a)(2) through (a)(4) shall only be available for operationally effective designs deployed as of the date of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017, (Public Law 115–31), such as currently deployed steel bollard designs, that prioritize agent safety.

So, I agree...but I don't think he gets it.

I don't think he does either, but there is a firestorm on Twitter over this bill so maybe his eyes will be opened.

There's a firestorm in my head over it. I'm pissed.

Deep down I know this is the reason for it: I know the GOP doesn't want to be in power. Really. They like being the minority. They are like some people I know that don't want a solution to a crisis...they just want the argument.

SO...once they are in the minority again...they can get on TV and complain about mean Nancy and MEAN Chuckie...and try to convince you and me to send them money so they can fight the evil left. Sorry idiots...daddy taught me: Fool me once...shame on you...fool me twice, shame on me.

They are going to get their wish. 2018 is going to be a slaughter. I know FReepers are crossing their fingers we hold the house...but really? Why? The tea-party gave them the house in 2010 and they immediately stabbed us in the back. I vote them all out and start over.

Trump is basically giving the democrats everything on there wish list for only one thing. Money for the military. That is the only thing that he really gets out of this. Sad.

I think your analysis is exactly correct.

But while he pretty much has no choice, except to sign this, We shouldn’t give up hope.

He will figure something out later.

I think Trump should veto the bill. Then go directly to the American people. Trump should make a speech reading Congress the riot act. He should talk about drafting the bill in secret and not showing it until the last minute. Talk about the corruption and waste in the bill. He should tell the American people to demand that Congress does their job.

Yep.
