Supreme Court will likely have to weigh in on this.
A few day ago you did not like the story that DoD was “poised” to do this.
Well they have pulled the trigger (first day after the Labor Day Weekend).
Now that the Summer break is over, I anticipate a series of actions hitting the fan, as politics are re-engaged - border wall, budget battle, IG report, God only knows what else.
Congress is back in town, and no man is safe.
They couldn’t spare anymore money than that?
My complaint is that “poised,” “intending” “mulling” “prepared to” are not NEWS.
This is news. Now, good deal that it came about. But reporting intentions is not reporting. It’s laziness. Reporting NEWS is reporting.
As for the IG report, if they couldn’t find one charge amongst the Awans, Deep Stroke, Pageboy, Brennanskie, and McCabre, I seriously doubt any further “tick tocks” will produce any charges against anyone.
“They couldn’t spare anymore money than that?”
Wait till you hear the squealing this will evoke.
Half ($1,8 billion) will be overseas, and half in the USA (i.e., in Congressional districts).
Congress could backfill this money in the next budget, and no project would miss a beat.
But Democrats have already pledged not to, out of spite, and to play politics with it.
“Trump’s border wall”
Nope. No bias there.
“As for the IG report”
Maybe it is just a little pile of trading chips, to make them buy their way out, by funding other priorities.
Didn’t Hillary raise over a billion to LOSE an election.
“he move could put at risk projects such as command and control, drone, cyber and training facilities in the US and overseas.”
I don’t recall CNN being worried about adequate funding for the military in the past. Amazing that they bring that concern up now.
Yes. So this 3.6$ billion will be maximized..
Now that the money is going to be spent, it will trigger the cause for lawsuits.
This money is the type that requires the President to declare an emergency to re-purpose for border wall, unlike the Military Counter-Narcotics money that the Supreme Court freed up in July.
Maybe your Zen Master has a thought on how this case might go?
“I don’t recall CNN being worried about adequate funding for the military in the past.”
Women, Children, Minorities and the Poor to be Hardest Hit...
These jokes (I mean headlines) just write themselves.
It’s CNN, so the whole article is biased, starting with the title that places an agency of the Executive with power over the Executive.
Department of Defense dough used to defend our international border. Wow. Who would have thunk it?
1000 miles of wall vs 100 gold toilet seats for the Pentagon General Staff.
For all intense and purposes, this is a WALL
for American Citizens who wish to feel safe in their own nation.
Therefore, it should be called The Promised WALL due all Americans.
My LORD, we've been waiting for YEARS to see this finally happen!
we should call the wall Kate’s Wall especially since the last charges were now dropped against the guy who murdered her
First District Judge Kneejerk of the Lower Podunk Valley, then the 9th Circus, then the fully empaneled 9th Circus, then SCOTUS.
Chooo Chooo!!!
the train is chugging down the rails... choo choo
Do you feeeel like daaancing? I do.
