Jason Chaffetz: Trump's border wall may get funding after all

[lulubee]

@BlueTex

I would trade it for $5B in funding for the wall… Just remember this day in 2021 when the DNC led senate and house pass medicare for all with 51 votes… It’s not going to do the senate any good after this week…Nancy Pelosi will become the powerful politician in Washington…

Even I don’t think that Mitch is that dumb. And I doubt he would do it for Donald and certainly not for wall funding.

@Camp

That would be the drama for today.

I have no problem with nuclear option. Thanks Harry Reid.

Careful what you wish for… 2020 comes pretty quick…

And there’s no Republican house to make it bear real fruit. This would be the last desperate, desperate gasp.

How do you spend money without paying for it? If I’m paying for it and I did not have a representative vote on it, what do you call that?

Optics means carrimg about what anyone except him and his base think. If Trump could have done this he already would have ages ago

No it doesn’t. Why would he care what his detractors think? They will hate him no matter what. This is all about appeasing his base supporters.

@BlueTex

Then why has the GOP not filed suit in all these cases before? I can assure you, the house will sue Trump under the Misappropriation Act and will win easily…

Read the article.

Funniest thing written in here for a long time.

So the wall will be built using discretionary funds.

Lol.

2 years and how much of the wall is built.

Zero, peek.

Sorry to rain on your parade.

It’s not a strong statement. It’s what cowards do. Take their ball and go home.

I also seriously doubt he will do what Chaffetz suggests. He’s too incompetent and his staff is equally so.

He isn’t getting his wall as long as the Democrats have the House. Period. End of story

So instead of responding to the OP, you’ve chosen to simply regurgitate Trump hating talking points. Great job by the way. You’ve nailed those talking points.

@wonderingrover

Of course, every time Trump tries to use funding from the US, he is essentially admitting he can’t fulfill his promises - specifically, the promise that Mexico would pay for this wall.

Trump never claimed Mexico would write a check. That is simply a Trump hating talking point.

@BlueTex

How long do you think the house and senate will hold out till they override his veto?

Focus. The OP isn’t about the funding bill.

I didn’t necessarily specify a check. They could pay cash or credit.

Trump made it very clear how Mexico would pay for the wall. I still believe they will.

But that’s not really what this thread is about.

It doesn’t really surprise me that not a single forum member has seriously weighed in on the content of the article.

Good. Let them pay for it and quit bothering Congress.

Mexico could cede some territory to the United States in exchange for the wall. Personally, I think it would be great if California could be reunited with Baja California. The added benefit of this plan is the further south the border wall is placed the shorter of a distance it has to go.

Funding doesn’t work that way in the U.S.

If the money raised from GoFundMe can be used for a wall, then I’m pretty sure if Mexico gives the US the money needed to build the wall, it also could be used specifically for the wall.

The problem is that Mexico is not going to pay for the wall.

I hope you are giving a lot of money and often to GoFundMe.

Here’s what’s really happened.

You put all your eggs in the basket of a New York City con man who has spent his entire life running scams and cheating people out of money.

Take a step back and think about that. People who are marks don’t realize that they’re marks until it’s too late.

Actually he isn’t the one spouting the nonsense about Mexico providing funding that can be used to build the wall.
