One more example Trump's disdain for military members, who, according to some chickenhawks, are expendable.

I wouldn't expect most military members would feel they're expendable, unlike the chickenhawks who've written military members are. SMH

Sounds like a tolerable trade-off. The military voted for Trump, he strips down childcare and education.

They did it to themselves and it doesn't impact me. I don't support the wall but at least some else has to sacrifice for it.

Looking at California, it’s painfully obvious liberals could care less about border security, sovereignty, rule of law or illegal immigration. Trump is absolutely right on This One! We don’t do anything, we lose our country, that’s it.

Trump: Mexico will pay for the wall, mark my words, mark my words....Who will pay for the wall? MEXICO!.....That's right, Mexico will pay for the wall, believe me....

What a liar and huckster....

Now, once again showing his disdain and lack of respect for our military, he shifts funds from key operational facilities, fire and rescue buildings, schools (one on Okinawa) , etc., to pay for a useless wall that will have a door so his golf course employees can get through...

And no, a wall is not the solution. Spend the $5 billion elsewhere on protection. Everyone agrees the wall isn’t the best use of funds.

None of you guys can even describe what it is that you want built. It’s just a symbol for you. You just want to win something. It the wall gets built tomorrow and in 5 years we learn it really was a complete waste of money, you won’t even care.

It's like the Iraq war debacle. They invaded a sovereign nation who had not attacked them, based on lies by a president who was more interested in finishing his daddy's unfinished business, than he was in the truth.

Then after supporting that moron for eight years, the deplorables lost to Obama. After eight years of that, they just moved on, never addressing their massive screwup during the Bush years.

What do they care about a bunch of brown people living in the desert on the other side of the world? The only time they care about that region is when they can make money through selling weapons, or when they can tear apart something good that Obama did, because they HATE that the people loved him (like LOVED him - HUUUUUUUGE approval ratings when leaving office) while hating Bush II and Trump.

Now, once again showing his disdain and lack of respect for our military, he shifts funds from key operational facilities, fire and rescue buildings, schools (one on Okinawa) , etc., to pay for a useless wall that will have a door so his golf course employees can get through...

Naw, Trump loves pie military and they know exactly what he was up against with the Democrats, so we get the wall and it would seem, the Dems got..nothing as usual.

The Mexicans were smart enough not to pay for Trumps idiotic wall. I think the Europeans will be smart enough not to pay for it as well. They will not replace funding diverted to the wall and nor should they.

If I was the next President, the first thing I would do is tear down Trumps barrier (should it get built in any way) by taking money from Republican electorates to pay for dismantling and use hired Mexican immigrant labor to do it. It will be needed to get US freedom back and return the country to the American people. Right wing nut jobs cant be allowed to dictate US policy. The current right wing nut job in the oval office must go.

Democrats are a part of Congress and these Congress people refuse to help this President, the CBP has been begging for Congress to act, they didn’t, Trump did, end of story.

Tell That to the Israelis and tell that to the CBP and ICE. Funny how none of the liberal networks won’t put the experts on from these organizations to give their facts and advice.

Spend the $5 billion elsewhere on protection. Everyone agrees the wall isn’t the best use of funds.

Many military members are too young, unseasoned and unknowing about this fascist who is giving them orders. He is a chickenhawk who cares nothing about the armed forces whatsoever. He is treating them like chessmen. He endangered a whole SEAL unit during the Christmas season with his selfie stunt, remember that? He claims that 'ISIL is defeated' and the troops will leave Syria now but the Army Times says otherwise. They have not left Syria.

We have the wrong people at the helm, and everything they're doing is wrong. As a military veteran of the Cold War I am ashamed and disgusted with a capital 'D' with this bullying immature obsessive bull-headed babyish excuse for a commander-in-chief. Trump is a traitor and a disgrace.

Why should Europe pay a dime? Europe is shouldering the cost and trouble of a refugee crisis caused by American and British murderous and greedy foreign policy in the Middle East. And refugees heading to the U.S. from South and Central America are also largely a result of U.S. government greedy and murderous foreign policy.

If the U.S. government is going to take the border wall money from the people who perpetrate America's greedy and murderous foreign policy I don't much care except to say I wish it was coming from the people who profit from the greed and murderousness most, at the very least. Far better though if the greed and murderousness were stopped.

*"Hundreds of thousands of people are coming in. I would build a wall the likes of which nobody has seen before. I'm a really good builder. Have you heard that? I really know how to build. I build very, very tall, beautiful buildings and they do well. *And you know who'd pay for the wall — Mexico. Because they've been screwing us so badly, frankly, they're going to have to pay. They'll pay."

*"Right now, we are losing so much money each year because of the illegal immigrants — people that are in our country illegally. Hundreds of billions of dollars — people don't realize that. They say, 'Oh, it will cost a lot of money to build a wall.' First of all, Mexico is going to pay for the wall. And the reason Mexico is going to pay? You know, a lot of people think — like some of the politicians — 'Well, you can't get Mexico' — well, of course you can. They're making a fortune off the United States, in terms of trade," Trump said.*

*"I'm going to stop illegal immigration and I'm going to stop drugs from pouring into our country. And yes we will build a wall and you're right, Mexico will pay for the wall. They will pay for the wall," he said.*

*"Oh, we'll build the wall. We're going to build the wall, and Mexico's going to pay for the wall, believe me — 100 percent. Mexico's doing well, thanks to the United States," Trump said.*

*"A lot of politicians said '*You can't get Mexico to pay for the wall.' I said, 'It's going to be so easy. It's going to be so easy.'"

Trump did say Mexico would pay for the wall. When he failed at that he went to Congress. When he failed at that he started raiding education and childcare for military families overseas.

He needs this for his reelection to get his base to come out and vote for him since he has no accomiahments. My guess is he will drain the military even more.

No real sacrifice for me, and Arizona will most likely get jobs.

And as Trump has stated, the American hating Democrats don’t care about our country. Lindsey Graham suggested there were other sources where the President could pull money from to build his wall.

"Right now, we are losing so much money each year because of the illegal immigrants — people that are in our country illegally. Hundreds of billions of dollars — people don't realize that. They say, 'Oh, it will cost a lot of money to build a wall.' First of all, Mexico is going to pay for the wall. And the reason Mexico is going to pay?

They're making a fortune off the United States, in terms of trade," Trump said.

And that wall is being built 175 miles of it, that’s huge!

"I'm going to stop illegal immigration and I'm going to stop drugs from pouring into our country. And yes we will build a wall and you're right, Mexico will pay for the wall. They will pay for the wall," he said.

The wall will be one of the best the world has seen and it is a beaut.

Where he said, he would obtain the money from other areas.

The Pentagon said on Wednesday it would pull funding from 127 Defense Department projects abroad and at home, including schools and daycare centers for military families, as it diverts$3.6 billion to pay for President Donald Trump's wall along the U.S. border.

dare I say it, but do dependents really contribute to the readiness of the military? Allot of marriages end in divorce, not to mention the cost of DOD facilities because of "hardships" endured in Japan etc. A Marine Commandant once recommended that a Marine be at least a Sgt before marriage was allowed but it was deemed inhumane. Actually it made allot of sense. I agree, allot of these programs are wasteful and should be diverted towards making the border, and citizens, safe.

There’s more than enough money. But what gets me is, how liberals are so concerned for our military, this is a first before that Democrats loathed the military as well as the FBI and now they talk about them both in such glowing and admiration terms. Kinda creepy actually..

Is it too obvious to point out that the only solution is stop meddling in politics south of the border and raising the standard of living of people down there to the degree where they don't need to want to leave.

Legalizing, regulating and taxing narcotics, instead of profiting out of prohibition, would fix the rest.

I read an interesting article that the majority of people making the crossing actually had native American blood and, as with conflicts caused by other European imperialism, came from people's who ancestral lands straddled the region.

Decades of dictatorship supporting, CIA meddling, School of the Americas inspired genocides, and US corporate abuses have created this problem.

Military school aided by McConnell among those losing funds to Trump wall

https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/460221-military-school-aided-by-mcconnell-among-those-losing-funds-to-trump-wall

An Army base on the border of Kentucky and Tennessee is suspending plans to build a new middle school because of the redirection of funds for military projects to buildPresident Trump's wall.The New York Times highlighted the suspension of work on the school planned for the base in a Thursday report noting the Pentagon's diversion of $62.6 million from the project. 

As a result, the Times reported that the roughly 552 students will continue to attend school in a school facility that has been described as overcrowded, with not enough classroom space for both teachers and students.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R) had championed the school project, writing in a January op-ed for the Louisville Courier-Journal that he was proud of working to ensure that funding for Fort Campbell as well as two other bases was included in the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act.

Of course, economic parity will only happen if there is a re-distribution of some of the wealth the US took out of Central and South America, and compensations and reparations for their meddling during the destabilization of the 1980s during the US's bogus cold war, and the multinational companies and CEOs actually paying taxes.

Example, in Guatemala alone an estimated 200,000 people were killed, El Salvador 75,000 civilians dead, Nicaragua 40,000 and so on ...

And neither should anybody else! America doesn't need one or even want one. Trump is a blockheaded obsessed criminal who even resorts to kidnapping and caging of children in concentration camps. He is an obstinate stubborn immature fascist who cannot be negotiated with. He must be removed from office before he causes more trouble because that's all he knows what to do!

Clearly the Democrats are working in America's best interests by NOT cooperating with your President who is a right wing nut job. Complaining that the democrats wont help the President just show the world that there is still hope for America and its future.

In January 1933, Hitler became Chancellor of Germany but his real aim was to become a dictator. Before he could realise his ambition, he needed to gain enough seats to be in a position strong enough to allow him to make the changes that would lead to his goal. He convinced President Hindenburg to call a new Reichstag election for March 1933. This set off a series of events that ended with Hitler becoming Führer.

This shows that it is correct for the Democrats and as many Republicans who actually love America, to block Trump as often as possible lest he become an American Dictator which is his dream. If you thought the Nazi's were bad, how much worse would a Fuhrer Trump be to Hitler?
