Ok crybabies, the wall is getting built

There's roughly $8 billion going into its construction this coming year.

Trump is no newcomer to finding funding for construction projects.

The funny part: we need the wall, the border patrol is behind this, they are the ones who are saying what type of wall and where it is needed and Trump is totally following their recommendations.

So who should we listen to? Experts asking for a better fence/wall/barrier to perform their job versus politicians fighting for their own importance over the job they were elected to carry out.

And, of course, media whores who will write anything to sell papers.

America ... land of the free, home of millions of idiots, who don't understand what is happening in DC.

How big was the budget bill? (over $800 Billion)
How much is going into border patrol? ($1.3 Billion)
Is Congress doing their job? Hell no.

So, the president is doing his job to overcome Congress not doing their job.

that's all that is happening there.

And of course politics... a bunch of hot air.
 
This is what the wall 'should' look like.....

I'd put money on it that there's all kinds of crap in the federal budget we could do without, and divert the money to border security.

The goofy part is this; All Congress does is allocate money... that means they designate where they want money spent; the actual spending happens in the executive branch. News journalists say Congress has "the power of the purse" ... not reaLLy though, the real purse is the Treasury and it is under the authority of the president.

Congress is supposed to represent the will of the people and pass a budget that represents the government the people want. (as if that ever happens) While, the president is supposed to figure out how to translate that budget into a working government.

See, this is why we call it the executive branch. The president executes the budget. That's his job. It is always the president who is actually spending the money, running the money, executing the budget. It is always the president who knows where the money is really needed, it is his branch that decides that. Congress allocates... the president executes.

So, the president isn't really diverting funds, what he is diverting is allocation of funds. The "funds" don't really exist, there's one big checking account over at the Federal Reserve, where the FED deposits payment for the Treasury's bond sales, that's also where the IRS deposits taxes... that is where the money comes from for executing the budget, not Congress.

FYI, the funding is limited to “currently deployed designs.”

In other words, not a wall.

Carry on.

that might be what you think is happening, where ever it is that you think reality happens (trumplandia?)

the wall is being built already, in the real world.

Show me a picture of this wall that “is being built already.”

Unless, perhaps, you’re just taking Trump’s word for it?

Video shows border wall construction underway in Texas (Link)

Marcus beat me to it.

Look at the 2nd video... see those sections of wall being moved around by the forklift? That's the wall, that's what is already under construction... in El Paso they are installing it.

Trump is maintaining funding for a building program already underway.

So what about climate scientist who say we must act on climate change, or emergency room doctors who say we must act on gun violence, or our intelligence agencies who say our electoral system is under attack by foreign actors and we must act, aren't they experts too ?

And what about those 50 moons orbiting Jupiter? Did you know one of them is a poster right here on PJ?

In Trumplandia, the Kremlin’s criminal attacks against our elections are not considered emergencies; efforts to stop those attacks would be an emergency.
