Discussion: WH Mulls Redirecting Emergency Funds For Wall, Despite Likely Legal Challenges

Soā€¦ Heā€™s taking all the money that would go into raking the forests, then will blame them for not having raked the forests when the next fire break out?

This is about the same as saying ā€œThe wall is already builtā€. Trump has got more coming at him than opposition to his wall

Why the heck does he have ā€œPresident Trumpā€ on his hard hat?

Dilutes the ā€œeverymanā€ theme of the hardhat to begin with.

Like Kushners flak jacket on top of a suit coat

Equally clueless

ā€œMiller thinks the courts will stop the order in its tracksā€

That does not make sense. Miller? Practicing moderation?

Maybe he fallsā€¦A LOT!!! :unamused:

Hey, that could explain some thingsā€¦

I knows itā€™s probably all about distracting from Mueller, but astounding that he went 2 years saying nothing about the wall now itā€™s all he talks about, has to get done right now, he fucked over so many people with a shut down, and seem like he might do it again.

Nobody to note where heā€™s taking the funds from? What do southern California and Puerto Rico have in common? Why not southern Arizona than Puerto Rico? This is the same blackmail he used for the shut-down.

Itā€™s a combination of he canā€™t help himself and his advisors are a bunch of evil racist partisans who have a cartoon-villain understanding of how government works. If he does this, not only should it be blocked in the courts and disapproved by congress, but it should be another count in the articles of impeachment. Literally killing american citizens to satisfy his racist vanity.

The Dems should use this moment to offer a totally fake compromise: Tell Cheeto Mussolini that theyā€™ll fund his wall if he agrees to declare health care and climate change emergencies. Heā€™ll get his $5.7 billion for $250 Billion as down payment for actual emergencies. Do it now while the pant load thinks he has leverage.

ā€œThe White House is seriously considering taking funds from Army Corps of Engineersā€™ flood control projects in California, as well as disaster relief money for California and Puerto Rico and DOD military construction funds, to build President Donald Trumpā€™s wall.ā€

this isnā€™t ā€˜opticsā€™ it is obviously partisan and un-American

so union builders will know which one to drop a beam on

Why we havenā€™t seen 45* sitting in a bulldozer posing at the wheel with Pence standing by is amazing - this seems like the kind of thing his people would really go for.

Some also think the optics of Trump taking money from a blue state like
California ā€” and not a red one like Texas that also has disaster relief
money ā€” would play as obviously partisan.

Because thatā€™s what it obviously would be. Using money intended for recovery from the forest fires in California and the Category-4 hurricane that hit Puerto Rico to fund a wall that wonā€™t work to solve an ā€œemergencyā€ that doesnā€™t exist. Yeah, thatā€™ll play well.
