@earl-of-trumps saidSorry to disappoint you, Earl:
No one said it was fake news, Mister TDS in-the-flesh. it is IRRELEVENT.
We all know about Trump using money from the military to work on the wall because the slackjaw
congress would not appropriate the funding directly. WE GOT IT, Sir Spam-a-lot. That was then, this is NOW
-------------
So, now, let's talk about where President Feely is going to come up with ...[text shortened]... o finish the wall.
Now, building the wall is suddenly a good idea!!
talk to me, sonhouse.
"Biden budget ends funding for border wall
President Biden's discretionary funding request for fiscal 2022 nixed all funding for a border wall, including unused funds previously allocated to the project."
""The discretionary request includes no additional funding for border wall construction and proposes the cancellation of prior-year balances that are unobligated at the end of 2021," reads the discretionary budget request summary for DHS.
Biden on his first day in office signed an order pausing construction of the border wall. In February, Biden formally rescinded the emergency order Trump had used to justify building the border wall and to divert money from other priorities to fund it."

It is what it is. Since Biden never knows why he does anything, since he is making no decisions on his own, and will be gone probably in a year, I don’t know why we keep talking about him
@averagejoe1 saidThen why did you start a thread with the (false) title:

"Biden decides to FINISH wall!!!"?
@no1marauder saidHe is filling in the gaps. Common sense would tell you that no reasonable people like AOC and Tlaib would d that if they were not going to complete the wall. Why else would they do it? Ask Sonhouse, he always knows why people do stuff!!

@averagejoe1 saidHow is he supposed to be "filling in gaps" with zero funding?

The original story came from the Washington Times and was flawed. The budget proposal makes it quite clear the Biden administration isn't wasting a nickel on the ridiculous wall.
EDIT: Here's where this nonsense came from: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/apr/5/dhs-may-restart-border-wall-construction-plug-gaps/
The word "may" is prominently displayed there but it seems to have stemmed from a misunderstanding of Biden's intentions by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, responding to proposals from Customs and Border Protection.
@no1marauder saidflawed, nonsense, may, misunderstanding......can we just call ir a draw... Remember, Biden's existence (in the universe) makes all of our posts a bit suspect, we do the best we can.

I was already to tell everybody to not worry about SCOTUS court packing, as he has been totally against it for decades, but then 'come to find out,' he has changed his mind...or, AOC and Bernie changed his mind. A simple example.
I know i'm tired of bantering about this empty suit. Peace.
@averagejoe1 saidAnd we are tired of your vacuous pronouncements from an empty skull.

Irrelevent. So stealing money needed for military upgrades means nothing. That money was already earmarked for military infrastructure that was badly needed.
THAT is our bitch.
I served 4 years in the military so it ticks me off to see it abused like that.
Did you do any military?
@no1marauder saidTrump gained funding...are you ignorant of this? Biden did not have a legal right to order a halt to contracts already let.

@Mott-The-Hoople
Yes, he 'obtained' funding by stripping near 4 BILLION from the military budget.
As a flaming ultrarightwingnut, how can you condone that? Weakening our military to do a stupid wall that is easy to get over?
@mott-the-hoople saidTrump stole funding from other already appropriated projects by declaring a fake "emergency". Biden ended that declaration as he had the power to do. Thus, any funding for the wall would have to be approved by Congress.

@handyandy saidHey.........I'm tired of your not telling me why the Sonhouse gets away with 'JUUDGGGIIINNNNG' Trump with totally no evidence, tried and convicted, in Jail, for god sakes. And yet, I mention Hunter about a News story, just the facts as I've heard them, and you and your questionable friends are all about me not having anything on Hunter, when Hunter's misdeeds are all over the internet.
And we are tired of your vacuous pronouncements from an empty skull.
An example is having a gun which is illegal for a person with his record, and the crime of throwing the gun in the trash. A crime. 2 crimes.
You must like Sonhouse more that me, what can possibly be another reason? How can you like Sonhouse? Have your read his screed. He uses the word Trump like you use the word ' and ' and 'the'.

@no1marauder saidPlease dont put the word 'power' in the same sentence with 'Biden'. Scary thought, don't you think? Though I heard he did well overseeing the easter egg hunt. What a pitiful soul.

Would y'all rather have a strong man (Trump, Bush, Reagan) as your leader, or little skinny guys who BOTH have a little hippitty-hop in their steps? I guess Biden is copying Obama when he doest that.? Like flowers in the wind? A little skip thing? These guys are least likely of the 5 to carry an M-16.

EoT: Since your question implies a big LIE, there is no way I will attempt an answer.
And as a reminder, this is NOT a Donald Trump thread, it is a Joe Biden thread. Got that?

EoT: Totally irrelevant.
China has 4 times America's population and a military budget that is half America's
I am not worried about this at all from a financial PoV. You shouldn't either.
@earl-of-trumps saidDebates can carry on quite completely without asking someone personal questions. Talk about irrelevant!??!

Somebody actually questioned my age, as if that would have anything at all to do with debating on the forum. Sometimes I picture Suzianne, Andy and Sonhouse and, well, I think of something else!!!!! 🤔 😳
