yea, you would lol at that. See, an adult acknowledges mistakes, and learns from them. I know that's a puzzling concept to you, the whole admission, acceptance, and acknowledgement and then to transition that into learning thing, your poor head must be swimming.
He's just following dear leader's examples.

That's fake news, trump tweeted this yesterday - "Got $1.6 Billion to start Wall on Southern Border, rest will be forthcoming."

All that matters is what trump says.

Budget breakdown per wapo:

Border wall: The bill provides $1.6 billion for barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border but with serious strings attached. Of the total, $251 million is earmarked specifically for “secondary fencing” near San Diego, where fencing is already in place; $445 million is for no more than 25 miles of “levee fencing”; $196 million is for “primary pedestrian fencing” in the Rio Grande Valley; $445 million is for the replacement of existing fencing in that area; and the rest is for planning, design and technology — not for wall construction. The biggest catch is this: The barriers authorized to be built under the act must be “operationally effective designs” already deployed as of last March, meaning none of President Trump’s big, beautiful wall prototypes can be built.

You know that and I know that, but trumpbots don't care about reality.

Reality is Congress opposes the idea of a wall. We all know that.

Funny part is they think it's "expensive". $21 trillion debt, can't fit in another $35 billion. That's peanuts overall. Yet they hide behind price as an excuse. It's rather cute if they can get away with it.

I clicked the link and found an amazing quote from our stable genius. It's a bit of an older article, but it's a real gem that belongs in this thread.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...ng-60-pound-bags-of-drugs-over-a-50-foot-wall

“As horrible as it sounds, when they throw the large sacks of drugs over, and if you have people on the other side of the wall, you don’t see them — they hit you on the head with 60 pounds of stuff? It’s over,” Trump told reporters last July. “As crazy as that sounds, you need transparency through that wall. But we have some incredible designs.”

A classic. So was the solar powered wall. Lol

They even made prototypes for Trump to shop at like he was picking out curtains. No solar wall

Top cement producer Cemex told Trump "gfys, no wall cement for you!"


"I like the one in cornflower blue."
-Ok. Umm sorry Sir, we require a down payment. And.. cash only.
"Can I interest you in some lovely condos? Perhaps some mail order steaks?"
-Cash. In USD.
"Brb..."

Ban remittances to Mexico and they’ll likely reconsider paying some of the costs of a wall. But easier and cheaper than a wall to prosecute and jail the employers of illegals.

And now President Cheeto is threatening to veto the omnibus bill because it doesn't include DACA. You know, the same DACA he completely walked away from when presented with bipartisan solutions he asked for and said he would support no matter what they were.

If so, could the House get 34 more votes and the Senate 2 more votes for a veto override?

Lol..Both houses are on a break and not scheduled to return to Washington for two weeks. Could this be the impulsive act that finally pisses of the Republicans in congress? Or..They've not been paying attention and have missed that Trump is having a meltdown. Congress treats Trump the way China treats North Korea. They are afraid of what will happen if they stop enabling him, so they ignore his insanity and hope he doesn't blow them up too.

Considering the GOP didn't even let all the Dems vote due to fears it would fail the first time I'd say no.

House and Senate stand adjourned, many members out of town (or even country). No possibility of a CR if Trump vetos the omnibus funding bill.

Either he signs or the gov shuts down.

If he vetos congress will be back next week to either pas a CR and do a worse deal for Republicans or try to override the veto.

When I say everybody saying that he def would sign this part of me suspected that he'd take the opportunity to, at a minimum, jerk everybody around when the time came.
