    [​IMG]Reuters/Kevin LamarquePresident Donald Trump speaks while participating in a tour of US-Mexico border wall prototypes near the Otay Mesa Port of Entry in San Diego, California.
    • The Trump administration is preparing to divert $US7.2 billion from the Pentagon’s budget to fund the president’s US-Mexico border wall this year, according to a Washington Post report published Monday.
    • The reported figure is five times greater than $US1.4 billion Congress allotted for the project in the 2019 and 2020 federal budget.
    • The new plan suggests the administration will increase the amount taken from military construction projects to $US3.7 billion.
    • According to the plan, the administration is also preparing to divert $US3.5 billion from the military’s counter-drug operations, which is $US1 billion more than it took in 2019.

    Well, I guess the Army should have invaded Purdue Pharma when they had the funds then.

    He has to check in with the mothership to see what his response should be. Be patient, he'll return.

    Calm your tits, I had shit to do. I fail to see how both thoughts are incongruent. I don't believe there's a crisis at the border; opioid panickers do. I also didn't vote for a guy to counter the "opioid epidemic" who's now welshing on that, red hats did.
