Day one, national guard is sent to line the US/mexico border, hasn't happened, imagine why?
"BUT IT COSTS MONEY!"
It would actually be profitable to line the border with troops, but the US has a national defense budget larger than the next 9 nations combined. Doesn't matter how you look at it, the cost of keeping your nations borders secure is irrelevant. If you can't defend your fucking nation then it doesn't exist.
The -ONLY- response for what is good for whites and white survival is separation, if necessary states breaking off from the USA.

Control of the money want the main concern. Spying on the population, gun rights, and excessive waste are not resolved by the latest move.

The headline in that is fake news, the same OP has been spreading misinformation for the past couple of days.
A long explanation of the omnibus: https://voat.co/v/politics/2466732
tl;dr
"So President Trump can now ignore the appropriation bills and spend all the money however he wants?!!"
Absolutely not. Congress wouldn't just legislate away one of its most important powers, and so have very narrowly defined these procedures which the President can trigger. That however is tangential since that isn't at all the intent of President Trump's letter.
Let's take a look at one of the letters:
In accordance with section 7058(d) of division K of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018 (H.R. 1625; the “Act”), I hereby designate as an emergency requirement all funding so designated by the Congress in the Act pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, for the accounts referenced in section 7058(d).
So this letter is solely about the accounts referenced in section 7058(d) of division K. Now let's take a closer look at 7058(d) of division K of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018:
(d) REPURPOSED FUNDS .—(1) Of the unobligated balances available under the heading ‘‘Bilateral Economic Assistance’’ in title IX of the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2015 (division J of Public Law 113–235)—
(A) $35,000,000 shall be made available for the Emergency Reserve Fund...
(B) $100,000,000 shall be for programs to accelerate the capabilities of targeted countries to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease out-breaks; and
(C) $10,000,000 shall be made available for support of a multi-partner trust fund or other multilateral efforts to assist communities in Haiti..
We can see clearly that the accounts in question total only 145 million dollars, this is a far cry from Trump writing himself a blank check or seizing unilateral control of budget as allocated by the omnibus spending bill. In short, this letter from the President isn't at all what some have tried to make it out to be.

He’s not deporting nonwhites. He’s not shutting down the Federal Reserve.

Wasn't there recently a Q thing about red castle, green castle? Check out army corps insignia...
[–] monkeytoe101 ago
Ya. From what I can tell multiple people claim to be Q to discredit the idea that someone is leaking info. Some appears to be legit and some is clearly false. This at least seems to have panned out.

You always seem to care enough to respond to anything Q. I'd say you care as much as the most ardent Q follower.

He should also get the military to sort out your 50,000 crumbling bridges and piece of shit roads while he's at it.
[–] guinness2 [S] 1 point 7 points 8 points (+8|-1) ago
President Trump has promised a massive infrastructure renewal - it was one of his major campaign promises.
Now that the tax cuts, the wall and military funding have been taken care of, infrastructure renewal may be the last major budget item... so you can perhaps expect that to start next year perhaps?

Bridges seem like they should be fixed by the states.

certainly you must realize that your views on our infrastructure are answered very simply. Stay the fuck out of my country cunt.

Good idea, the Romans did the same, military built and maintained all the roads, most bridges etc.
