"Without a doubt the first time in history that Reuters has been concerned that the American military might be deprived of funds."

Good point!

For the record, here is another condemnation of “stealing" military funding for the peoples’ wall from an unexpected source.

Nancy Pelosi: Supreme Court Allowing Trump to ‘Steal Military Funds’ for ‘Wasteful, Ineffective’...

Remember in November 2020!

MAGA! Now KAG! (Keep America Great!)

I suspect not much is actually misplaced. I am thinking it went to black budget things.

Crazy, isn’t it?

Everyday, I take the top 10 TDS stupidity actions, and suppose What if a conservative did (fill in the blank w/a lib idiocy of the day) to Obama/liberals....

Such as....

Black lists for 0bama supporters.
Dem Senators flying to opposition nations to undermine 0bama (like the 2 RINO Senators ‘dealing’ with China).

Etc, etc.

The libs would’ve gone berserk, had any of this been happening to 0blama or themselves.

Let’s see the list and the details of the 120 projects and compare them to an actual emergency on the border. Whatever those projects are I am sure they can wait.

It only took 5 decades for the left and media to promote more military spending. It’s a miracle.

No construction job is more important. It’s the Democrats depriving the military of funds, not Trump.

3.6 billion, and Senator Warren is proposing 3 trillion to fight climate.

“....My view of it is that stealing money from military construction, at home and abroad, will undermine our national security, quality of life and morale of our troops, and that indeed makes America less safe,” Pelosi said....”

IF the vile, demonic Botoxian and lil Chucky the Shmuck cares so much about our military, why did they vote down congressional funding? Then, they have the communist gumption to beotch about it? REALLY???? These two can pound sand where the sun don’t shin.
And there is news for the Botoxian: it’s not stealing. Your choice of words suck and everything that is gong on, you two communist azzclowns are the blame for it. Hopefully, the Grim Reaper will soon be dispatched to snatch your evil soul and drag it back to Hell where it belongs.

“This is coming from the same Pentagon that has ‘misplaced’ TRILLION$, (yes Trillions) of dollars.”

How nice of you to repeat AOC’s bulls#it claims here at FR. You on her twitter feed?

I'm glad you got to him before me.

As I told my congressman...You could always either a) appropriate money for the wall that you previously said MUST BE BUILT, or b) appropriate more money for construction on military bases.

Of course, what both of us are ignoring is that none of the money pulled for the wall was actually going to be used in this budget year for building anything and would have lapsed when the appropriation ended and would have had to be re-appropriated anyway.

All those projects are less important than keeping invaders out of our country.

“I’m glad you got to him before me.”

Dad did tours at the Pentagon. He was Army but worked alongside a hawk eyed civilian DOD accountant. Money inside the Pentagon is very closely watched. People go to prison for screwing with it.

I like the cognitive dissonance of liberals screaming about this while simultaneously screaming that there is “no new Border Wall being built”.

The outrage about the new construction in a cactus reserve is icing on the cake.

Oh wow I am sure Reuters is so heart broke over the U.S. Military allocating funds to actually securing the U.S. bolder.

Imagine that?....

40% of illegal aliens come by plane and don’t go home when their visa expires. Let’s boot them too.

So Trump greatly increases the military budget. The press complains. Then Trump uses some of the budget to build the wall. The press reverses position to complain that the military does not have enough money. So regardless of whether the military has more or less money, Trump is in the wrong. But Obama’s military budget was just fine.
