Actually, how about we spend it on the homeless vets and other vets who need care. Do you really think building a wall is more important than them.

actually most of us on the right chipped in and sent supplies to PR...

most of us know that there are military installation on PR, with equipment, supplies, engineers, transportation (drivers)... and most of us know that the politicians ON PR screwed the pooch

we sent boatloads of supplies.... and the PR politicians SAT ON IT, waste it, and abused it



and as to the Michigan water issue.... that is a state issue...not federal

Do you have a link to back that up?

I would bet the farm that what you claim is absolutely false.

Because the Federal government was never suppose to govern the people directly. That is a 10th amendment issue and the military is suppose to be state Militia. The homeless vets don't need money, they need a job, the vets are suppose to be cared for and their is plenty of money. Incompetence and greed are the problems there. Bureaucrats that have never run anything but their mouths, put in charge of something that needs a business mind behind it to be successful.

Infrastructure goes way beyond generations, if planned right.

Did you?

It looked like a bunch of right wing cajun's and rednecks converging on the Houston area, after the hurricane.
Florida the same way.

Someone needs to tell Trump that you don't need a parade to get good photos of troops.
What is the objective, how to achieve it ...

WTF?
Federal Government was never intended to govern people?
Sheesh. So many different perspectives, eh.

From my perspective, federal government decisions for tax payer's money does follow federal government guidelines and values. Infrastructure is important to federal decisions, but the big question for government, which is a non-consult issue with citizens, is the level of infrastructural monitoring. That wifi thing is a ***** re: privacy.

Has he got it figured out yet, does he know what he wants to say to foreign powers?

Is he sober, is he with his wife, and is he sound?

I think he`s looking for a parade featuring an enormous statue of a shirtless Putin riding a horse and The Donald and his deplorables kissing his feet.
