“It includes nothing to address the clear national emergency and humanitarian crisis we face at our southern border,” Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) said on the House floor, asking for what he called a “quite modest $4.4 billion.”

Translation; let thousands upon thousands suffer if we don't give Trump his Wall.

What horrid people they are.

[House of Roberts]

1. I didn't think the House had 'holds' like the Senate.

Where did this back-bencher get such power?

3. Without unanimous consent

it will need to wait until the Congress is back in session for a vote.

2. Why not

That "modest $4.4 billion" will get about 3 miles of fence built, at the current rate!!!

5. hey moron, there is NO emergency at the border, that's why even you evil cohorts signed on to this

[gratuitous]

6. I hope none of the people in Oklahoma or Missouri currently suffering hold this against Rep. Roy

Sure, you're still digging out from the latest hoax by the Chinese climate change hoaxsters, but Chip has to curry favor with a certain stable genius. Try not to need anything for another 10 days, okay? We're all in this together, but there are priorities.
