Facing a Friday deadline and increasingly nervous infighting among his Rethuglican enablers in Congress (and firm resistence on behalf of Dems), demagogue and bigot Donald "Rump" Trump's spokesliar Sarah "Huckster" Sanders told reporters today that the White (Supremacist) House would find other ways to get the $5 billion to spend on Rump's "manhood" wall than shut down the Government. However, she didn't provide details of the "different funding sources," saying,
“There are certainly a number of different funding sources that we’ve identified that we can use, that we can couple with money that would be given through congressional appropriations that would help us get to that $5 billion that the president needs in order to protect our border.”Last week in an Oval Office photo op, Rump was schooled on the budget process, and goaded by incoming Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer into accepting blame for a Government shutdown, something that clearly upset Congressional Rethuglicans.
If Rump is contemplating moving Federal funds around, he'd need Congressional approval, although Rump only appears to be using this tactic as a way of saving face with his lunatic, xenophobic base. Our recommendation: we know Mexico won't pay for the wall, so we would suggest a mandatory tax to be paid only by the MAGA Mob that is obsessed with it. Fair's fair.
