                    Try the very liberal Vice outlet - mizzouSECedes STL - 1/16 14:42:46
                    It's a pretty simple question (nm) - Sal KC - 1/16 14:19:50
                         It's not true (nm) - MrBlueSky MU - 1/16 14:27:23
                              So there wasn't an omnibus spending bill - Sal KC - 1/16 14:37:06
                                   There was a bill that allocated up to $500m to the pentagon - tigerdb MU - 1/16 14:45:29
                                        It was specifically allocated for "security" purposes - Sal KC - 1/16 14:49:05
                                             You should have left it at "security purposes" - tigerdb MU - 1/16 14:59:36

          don't worry, it's the OTHER kind of "red"(nm) - dangertim MU - 1/16 13:55:21
               I searched some of the key words and it also popped up - Badird MU - 1/16 14:05:25
                    It’s an electronic fence, but yes - mizzouSECedes STL - 1/16 14:40:40
     It is only .0002% of the budget..Spanky(nm) - meatiger MU - 1/16 13:48:28
          And? It is a better use of money than the $8B/ year spent - Spanky KU - 1/16 14:07:42

          Who said Mexico was going to pay in advance or by check? - MizzouTigerz MU - 1/16 13:50:33
               Donnie said repeatedly, even after elected with an official - MrBlueSky MU - 1/16 13:52:46
                    I see that you admit it wasn't a promise of a check, and, - MizzouTigerz MU - 1/16 19:12:50
                    What was ACTUALLY said - Spanky KU - 1/16 14:23:58
                    He said it may happen but that there are other ways - TheWildcat STL - 1/16 13:59:14
                         Which was clearly a lie (nm) - MrBlueSky MU - 1/16 14:00:14
                              It could be done so easily. Cut their aid. The end. (nm) - TheWildcat STL - 1/16 14:07:25
                                   Then why not do that, instead of shutting down the gov't? - TigerJackSwartz MU - 1/16 14:12:31
                                        I am quite certain he would need congressional approval - TheWildcat STL - 1/16 14:13:28
                                             Not according to the memo - TigerJackSwartz MU - 1/16 14:15:13
                                                  He likely can... just like he could end the shutdown right - TheWildcat STL - 1/16 14:16:07
                                                       He isn't hesitant to use executive orders at all. (nm) - DC Jayhawk KU - 1/16 14:20:51
                                                            He is on this but he may as well do it I think. He is - TheWildcat STL - 1/16 14:21:31
                                                                 He isn't using an exective order for this because he can't. - DC Jayhawk KU - 1/16 14:23:40
                                                                      Wrong (nm) - TheWildcat STL - 1/16 14:24:04
                                                                           I'm not wrong at all. - DC Jayhawk KU - 1/16 14:25:16
                                                                                I am suggesting that he can absolutely build a wall right - TheWildcat STL - 1/16 14:25:59
                                                                                     He cannot. Congress holds the purse - MrBlueSky MU - 1/16 14:31:40
                                                                                          He has stated the path to doing so. Do some reading. (nm) - TheWildcat STL - 1/16 14:32:23
                                                                                               We have and we all know that none of them require a - DC Jayhawk KU - 1/16 14:33:47
