In another sign that Donald Trump is probably running out of ‘juice’?
His own party lawmakers in the Senate have taken money Trump took from other programs to spend on ‘his ‘wall and put it back where the Congress slated it to go….
Remember….
Trump’s guy, Mnuchin the Treasury Sec and Trump chief of staff agreed to this in oking the Senate bill…
Everybody looking at the polls and things things gonna be different soon?
The Trump administration’s move to “reprogram” Pentagon money, to build Trump’s promised wall along the U.S.-Mexico border has been a long-running dispute between the administration and Congress. Lawmakers of both parties have objected, but the administration contends it can move the Pentagon’s money without congressional approval.
Now Senate Republicans, led by Appropriations Chairman Richard C. Shelby (R-Ala.), have taken the opportunity presented by the coronavirus stimulus bill to restore spending on some of the programs they deemed most critical — although Democratic objections make it uncertain whether the spending will make it into any final bill.
Included in the GOP bill are some of the $3.8 billion in Pentagon programs canceled in a “reprogramming” notice the Trump administration released earlier this year….
I thought they were “fully controlled.”
Who said that?
Oh you’ve been obsessing all day over that word I used to describe Republicans?
Ok let’s change it to “mostly.”Whatever.
Of course that changes nothing as to the comment itself.
But hey if I was a member of this party which is led by a pathological liar who has ,with the support of the overwhelming majority of that party ,made a mockery of their supposed “conservative values?”
I would be desperately trying to change the subject to an obsessive daylong dispute over word usage too.
Indeed that’s your “almost “(don’t want to set you off on another “word obsession again) Daily modus operandi here.Anything to change the subject of what your party has become.
Yes that was after they doubled the tax exemption for the “three martini lunch.”
The Republican obsession with tax cut that mostly benefit the wealthy continues even during a pandemic that has killed 150000 Americans.
They’re very “pro life “ you know!
