    Awwww. Greg wants to stick his flaccid little dick into federal business. Texas comprises 2/3 of the southern border. I'm sure the Feds will love the multi billion dollar savings Abbott is going to give them. Should we move the border agents that this is going to make idle to New Mexico, Arizona and California, or just RIF 'em?

    Robert?

    Abbott is doing his job even though Biden refuses to do his job. Biden's tiny dick is not there to help Americans.

    What to do with the idle federal employees, Robert? Or do you enjoy needlessly pissing away billions?

    https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/15/heres-where-the-money-for-trumps-border-wall-will-come-from.html
    WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Friday declared a national emergency to gain access to roughly $8 billion to fund a border wall.

    Before Trump’s announcement in the Rose Garden, a senior administration official explained that the money will be pulled from the following areas:

    • $1.375 billion from the Homeland Security appropriations bill
    • $600 million from the Treasury Department’s drug forfeiture fund
    • $2.5 billion from the Department of Defense’s drug interdiction program
    • $3.6 billion from the Department of Defense’s military construction account

    The $1.375 billion, which is part of a spending bill passed by Congress, is short of the $5.7 billion that Trump had asked for late last year but didn’t get. A fight over the barrier money led to a record-long partial government shutdown that was resolved after 35 days. What’s more, the $1.375 billion would specifically not allow construction of new wall prototypes proposed by Trump, and would instead put money toward 55 miles of bollard fencing.

    What the hell is Bollard Fencing?

    Biden killed this type of fencing. On the right side. The left is not Bollard Fencing.

    That is a new claim. The Trump border wall was designed to solve a major problem. Tiny dick Biden shut it down.

    And a lot of the money was not taken from the Military at all.

    Now I want to ask. Do you now want to know the actual truth?

    NBC reported on Trump at the time...

    And it's all going back where Congress allocated it. You remember Congress, don't you? The ONLY body with the legal authority to appropriate and allocate federal funds according the CONSTITUTION?

    Pelosi's is bigger. Suck it up and deal with it.

    Clearly you still do not admit that Trump lawfully used the funds.
    Tiny dick Schiff would have impeached Trump over the wall were you being honest.

    I put in years before I departed the Democrat's to vote for Republicans because of that very reason.

    Remember when hands were bad? White faces were bad?

    1) What Donnie Dipshit did wasn't legal.

    2) Thankfully, President Biden was able to use his pen and phone to easily undo it.

    3) The fact that the money WAS STILL AVAILABLE AND NOT SPENT ON A WALL AFTER MORE THAN TWO FRIGGIN' YEARS should clue you in on the easily demonstrable fact that IQ45ers got hosed by the rancid orange toadstool.

    Will you Democrats send me a rational poster please?

    Biden should have protected America and not his political stooges.

    You refuted nothing. He took the money from the DOD and now it is going back to where it belongs

    It's not even that, since these are funds approved by Congress before Joe got elected...

    Let's just say he's playing with House Money here..

    Doing some good and it's not even on your spending tab.... it's almost like this guy knows what he's doing....
