GOP bristles over plan to shift military funding to border wall

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

GOP concerns are bubbling up over the administration's plans to divert billions in military construction money as part of President Trump's national emergency declaration.

As part of an effort to pull together roughly $8 billion for the U.S.-Mexico border wall, the administration will redirect $3.6 billion originally appropriated for military construction projects across the country.

Trump’s decision has sparked bipartisan backlash on Capitol Hill, where Republicans are openly concerned that the president is blurring the separation of powers and attempting to override Congress’s government funding decisions.

GOP Sen. Susan Collins (Maine) told reporters to “keep in mind the irony” of the president deciding to take money away from military construction projects that were part of his previous budget requests.

2. They don't care, they just know they're supposed to look like they care. Thus, they "bristle."

[Chipper Chat]

4. Or "are concerned."

[Squinch]

5. Yup. As they line up like little ducklings behind Individual 1.

3. Yes, we voted to give Trump the power of the purse

But we really bristled at it. Some of us even fumed. I think Susan Collins was very concerned. Lamar Alexander went so far as to write a letter. What more could the American people possibly ask of Senate Republicans?
