I hope Trump uses half of the money to help build the wall.

Just another scheme in which $7bb will be laundered back into the DNC.

In other words, another Thursday evening in DC.

The sad part is that only one Senator voted against it. He's often times the only no vote.

No but if Trump doesn’t sign it then they will say he doesn’t care about American citizens.

Trump didn't ask for that much. The Dems tried to embarrass him by saying, "we would have given you $8 billion."

Had to take it, or they scream, "he's not even trying...he turning down funding."

Trumps original request was for $2.5 billion...it was congress who upped the price tag.

Use 4 Billion of it closing off the southern border with a big tall beautiful perfect fence.

Seriously - wait until some of the illegals with the coronovirus settle in the homeless communities around the big cities. === huge crucible for widespread disease.

Compare this:

quote:

It also noted that the measure includes $435 million to support health systems overseas to prevent, prepare and respond to the coronavirus, plus $300 million to respond to humanitarian needs. It also provides an estimated $7 billion in low-interest loans to affected small businesses.


With this:

quote:

The measure also includes a provision that was a high priority among Democrats: ensuring the funds can only be used to address the coronavirus and other infectious diseases. Democratic leaders raised concerns that the Trump administration would use the funds for other purposes.


They are doing exactly what they tell you they are trying to prevent.

"We 'care' with other people's money".

no reason this couldn't be done in increments as needed
