Still doesn't give the president the right to misappropriate funds.
Better luck on the next one.
There is a Law, approved by Congress and signed by a President long ago, that permits a US President to use any funds he deems necessary, to build a wall or road to interdict drug trafficking.

There were tons of posts and threads about this at the time. SCOTUS approved the redistribution. I’m pretty sure you were here (and probably posted in some of those threads.). As you would throw out whenever Trump lost something in a court, this needs said back to you-“It’s the Law of the Land!”…..

There is still the separation of powers per the constitution and he appropriated funds destined by congress to be used for military construction projects using the emergency declaration executive orders. There was no eminent threat, as a matter of fact Trump said he didn't have to do it , he did it because he wanted to fulfill his campaign promise and couldn't get the funding from Congress. Be careful what you are comfortable with as Presidents in the future will use the same tactics. The emergency clause needs to be better defined.

Spare us your Constitutional knowledge.(Which is zero.)

And Biden's open border policy is currently showing us that border security was a crisis after all.

2,000,000 people crossed the border illegally in a year
no threat? right

The fun part is listening to the Dems go on and on about the "sovereignty of the Ukraine"
how the border needs to be respected
and they leave our border wide open


Formally known as the Defending Ukraine Sovereignty Act of 2022, the legislation is co-sponsored by 13 Democrats in the House and 41 in the Senate, including Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).

It WAS Separation of Power UNTIL Congress ceded that particular Spending Power thru their passing it into Law.

This happened way prior to Trump becoming President. Trump did not invent it. It continues even now, since Congress did Not Repeal the Law THEY enacted….

Keep throwing out Leftist assumptions from Leftist websites, AZ. I’ll look up the Actual Laws.

10USC 284.

Section 5 thru 10. Especially Section 7. Done by the Sec Def. Does NOT need to declare an Emergency. Shows in effect when Obama was President in 2016. I believe it was passed when Bush was President, but I’m not sure….

EDIT/ CORRECTION- Congress tried to pass it in 1989. Codified into Law- 1991.

(5) Counterdrug or counter-transnational organized crime related training of law enforcement personnel of the Federal Government, of State, local, and tribal governments, including associated support expenses for trainees and the provision of materials necessary to carry out such training.

(6) The detection, monitoring, and communication of the movement of-

(A) air and sea traffic within 25 miles of and outside the geographic boundaries of the United States; and

(B) surface traffic outside the geographic boundary of the United States and within the United States not to exceed 25 miles of the boundary if the initial detection occurred outside of the boundary.



(7) Construction of roads and fences and installation of lighting to block drug smuggling corridors across international boundaries of the United States.

(8) Establishment of command, control, communications, and computer networks for improved integration of law enforcement, active military, and National Guard activities.

(9) The provision of linguist and intelligence analysis services.

(10) Aerial and ground reconnaissance.

Sen. Feinstein’s Husband was the Part-Owner of a Chinese Company that Sold Spyware to the US Military

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who apparently couldn’t get rich enough trading stocks with her fellow Buffett-like legislators, decided to get rich via investing in a CCP company. Well, to be fair, her husband did; he invested in a Red Chinese company that sold malware to the US military.

That comes from Peter Schweizer’s new book, which is titled Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win.

In one chapter of it, he tells the sad tale of how the Feinsteins got rich off CCP investments that did America harm. The basic story is this: while Feinstein provided cover for Red China’s human rights violations for over three decades, explaining away the communist nation’s evil actions, her husband made the family rich by investing in Red Chinese companies that desperately needed American capital as China’s economy rapidly expanded.



Despite the threat posed by Chinese power, greedy American bankers and financiers gave it to them, Richard Blum (her husband) among them. Feinstein, a Senator involved in the intelligence world, just watched and let him give our enemy the capital it needed to grow.
