"It's a sad day when the president is cheering a decision that may allow him to steal funds from our military to pay for an ineffective and expensive wall for which he promised Mexico would foot the bill."

Don't forget that last point: Trump "promised" Mexico was going to pay for the wall (which was never a bright idea anyway.)

Where are all the fiscal hawks who pretend to be so concerned about government spending?

Where are all the MAGA-hatted Trumpetts swearing Trump "kept his promises"?

When it comes to healthcare, education, infrastructure, and social safety nets, we somehow always come up short-changed.

But we "found" money for a wall simply by invoking a "national emergency."

We have a national opioid epidemic.

The government is perpetrating state-sanctioned child abuse in concentration camps at our Southern border.

Climate change is threatening to cause "climate apartheid."

Our Secretary of State and National Security Adviser are salivating over the possibility of a war with Iran.

But a wall is a "national emergency."

Funny how that works out.
