Originally published at: Pelosi: No Wall Money in Border Security Legislation | Infostormer.com
Nancy Pelosi held her weekly press conference today and babbled incoherently about how she would not give Donald Trump any money for a border wall.
She keeps talking about using “technology” which is ridiculous. You need a physical barrier or a wall as a foundation. Technology can be used to augment the wall but by itself is pretty much useless.
I’m really sick of this old hag. She’s basically saying that she’s not going to bring up any bill for a vote that has funding for the border wall. Even if this Congressional group that’s working on a compromise border security package includes wall funding, it looks as if she’ll ultimately sabotage it for political reasons.
This is why I was in favor of Trump continuing the shutdown. I get that he agreed to re-open it for strategic reasons, but the exercise that’s going on right now is a waste of time. It has also provided endless fodder for his enemies to attack him and has demoralized his base.
It is looking more and more likely that there’s going to be no agreement at the end of these three weeks and Trump will attempt to do the wall unilaterally. But that’s if and only if we aren’t engaged in a full fledged war in Venezuela by that time. It just seems as if overthrowing the Venezuelan government is a more pressing matter for the Trump administration than anything else at the moment.
