that kicks in for his wall should have their budget cut by whatever amount they give him.

to spend it on something else might be illegal so might want to ask them which of them wants to go to prison also.

money around willy nilly. When Congress appropriates money, it must be used for the purpose (appropriation) as intended. It is also sometimes referred to as the "color of money". To do otherwise is called "misappropriation" of funds, which is a crime. Congress appropriates the funding at the beginning of the fiscal year, for projects/purposes usually decided upon prior to the beginning of the fiscal year, and those funds must be used for the purpose intended. Multiyear programs (i.e. a fleet of new aircraft for the military) or construction projects which will take more than a year to complete, are usually purchased over a period of time with annual incremental funding provided on a fiscal year basis.

Funds that do not get spent in the fiscal year intended and for the purpose intended expire or "Cancel" at the end of that fiscal year and those funds are referred to as Cancelling Funds. Funds due to cancel can only be used for the type of funding intended. Each year at the beginning of the fiscal year, we would identify those funds due to 'cancel' at the end of the current fiscal year which will not be needed to complete current projects. The purpose of this is to identify and deobligate those funds and return them so that Congress can re-appropriate those funds which are not needed for the project originally intended, and to return them to Congress where they might be reappropriated to other projects. If they are not reappropriated prior to their expiration date, they expire and cannot be used. If there is still an outstanding obligation related to that funding, then the Procurement personnel will have to go back to Congress and secure new current year fiscal year funding.

else is unconstitutional. All monies have to be approved by Congress.

He doesn't know shit about anything. He thinks he can just say something and it will happen. #dumbshit

of running the govt more than he does. Or more accurately he doesn't care whether it breaks the law or not since he is acting under the "laws of tRump" and that is all that matters to him. It is only HIS rules and laws that the narcissistic sociopath feels he needs to follow. He is seriously unfit for office.

about our government and what's legal and not legal. He still thinks he's running the "Trump Foundation", which now no longer exists. How can a "man" (and I use that word in the most loose sense possible) who knows nothing, doesn't want to learn anything, and expects to run the country using his "gut," be allowed to remain in office? It's a mystery to me, BigmanPigman. This guy shouldn't have been allowed to run for Town Councilman. The pundits keep harping on "how smart he is". I've seen no evidence that his IQ is any higher than his shoe size.

or perhaps conscience, is how he blatantly flaunts his disregard for Mueller and 17 (that we know of) ongoing investigations. If I were under the microscope I would be watching everything I said and did. It isn't paranoia but plain logic. If you committed a zillion crimes and everyone (except his dumber than shit cult/fan base) were onto you on every imaginable level a normal person would attempt to appear on the level. He and his criminal family enterprise seems to continue their criminal activities as if they were clueless of the outcomes when they are eventually caught. I just do not get how they can appear like they are unaware of their obvious predicament. I would be visible sweating in full public view like Nixon did during the Kennedy debates.

On the day of the rapture.

Oh.

Sorry, no go, Trumpenstein!

Talk about grasping for straws!!!

...in the current budget (forget the actual number), only about 5% has been spent.

Has he checked with them? Because I clearly heard, several times, that they were in charge of this.

Why are they not calling them?

The Trump Organization will no longer be compensated for rooms, meals and golf carts used by the Secret Service when they provide security for him at his resorts. That'll save...oh, about $30 million a year.

Trump can also reimburse the Air Force for all flight hours spent transporting him to his resorts.

No one else has any money to give him, and it is a federal crime for him to divert funds to unauthorized projects.

Congress appropriated money for specific purposes stated in funding legislation. In my mind, Congress would have to approve any significant reallocation.

They don't play!

(at least if you are a lowly civil servant although the courts have taken down some big 'uns too )

Appropriations cannot simply be wielded at bay to whatever pet project deemed necessary on a whim.

Of course this is how he’s handeled the entire affair from trade; treaties and diplomatic relations.

You cannot simply pluck a solution out of thin air...

Trump and his minions have no idea how government works.

that make the WHite House look lie a brothel.

be reviewed and cuts made.

Get your sorry-assed, deplorable supporters to chip in, you creep!

They used to tell me I was building a dream
And so I followed the mob
When there was earth to plow or guns to bear
I was always there right on the job
They used to tell me I was building a dream
With peace and glory ahead
Why should I be standing in line
Just waiting for bread?
Once I built a railroad, I made it run
Made it race against time
Once I built a railroad, now it's done
Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once I built a tower up to the sun
Brick and rivet and lime
Once I built a tower, now it's done
Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell
Full of that yankee doodly dum
Half a million boots went sloggin' through hell
And I was the kid with the drum
Say, don't you remember, they called me Al
It was Al all the time
Why don't you remember, I'm your pal
Say buddy, can you spare a dime?
Once in khaki suits, ah gee we looked swell
Full of that yankee doodly dum
Half a million boots went sloggin' through hell
And I was the kid with the drum
Oh, say, don't you remember, they called me Al
It was Al all the time
Say, don't you remember, I'm your pal
Buddy, can you spare a dime?

what a fucking moron.
