He should also get the military to sort out your 50,000 crumbling bridges and piece of shit roads while he's at it.

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.
[–] Omag ago
certainly you must realize that your views on our infrastructure are answered very simply. Stay the fuck out of my country cunt.
[–] Camulos ago
Good idea, the Romans did the same, military built and maintained all the roads, most bridges etc.
[–] guinness2 [S] 3 points 7 points 10 points (+10|-3) ago (edited ago)
Build WALL through Military.
BAM!
All of the Dems and RINOs are gonna wake up to discover that President Trump used the omnibus spending bill to rape them.

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.

Why? It's almost like the national guard reports to their respective governors. Not the president.

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
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:
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:
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.
LITERALLY NOTHING ELSE MATTERS IN ANY CAPACITY. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a jewish shill.

The seabees can have that wall built in 4 months.
[–] 12288636? ago (edited ago)
Most likely will be the army corp of engineers and a series of contractors. They already have significant responsibilities for US infrastructure.

Wasn't there recently a Q thing about red castle, green castle? Check out army corps insignia...

I love this type of stuff. Funny, someone above said get the Military to build the wall. Don't joke with the Army Corps, they will do it and it will be magnificent. Those people are serious about building.

Do you want me to start Q posting? I have
connections to Intel as wellMagical Powers. Global events though, not just US shit.[–] fl3x 4 points 0 points 4 points (+4|-4) ago (edited ago)
Isn't there a ton of other shit that comes out of "Q" that's absolute nonsense?
The Q program is a PsyOp. People have apparently never seen how Intel operates.
[–] 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.
[–] 12288650? 1 point 0 points 1 point (+1|-1) ago
Most of it is bullshit and people force a ton of the shit onto events despite it just being vague incoherent ranting.
[–] fl3x 3 points -1 points 2 points (+2|-3) ago
Haha down-vote for butt-hurt rage when you have no response.
The more you down-vote, the more satisfaction I get from you Q-tards. You're either Intel sock-puppet army or simple-minded band-wagoning people who have never seen how Intel operates.

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

No, the proven hoax is not onto anything.
