Pentagon plans to shift $3.8 billion to fund border wall with Mexico

[BeckyDem]

The Trump administration is preparing to redirect an additional $3.8 billion in programs from the Department of Defense to pay for the construction of a wall at the US-Mexico border. A total of $7.2 billion of military funding is expected to go towards the border wall this fiscal year.

3. If the Pentagon has 3.8 BILLION to spare do they REALLY need averything they get?

Seems like an awful lot of surplus. That's a lot bigger deal than realizing you have a couple hundred left in your checking account at the end of the month--ya know?

7. No they don't. But we already knew that and

have for decades now. Hell, Eisenhower warned us about that in early 1960 wasn’t it?

6. Ah, the dictator is stealing more from the defense budget to

build a wall he promised all Americans that Mexico would pay for.

The dictator.

That is what he is. It's time for all to refer to him correctly.

All of our ads between now and the election need to address him as "the dictator".

9. Become a member if you can.

Multiple courts have said it is illegal for Trump to pillage military funds for his xenophobic border wall. Not one court has given his unlawful power grab a stamp of approval.

We’ll be back in court to block these additional, unauthorized transfers.
