It’s a disgrace that The Pentagon obliges Trump’s misuse of our military for a political stunt.

Waste of money and human resources .

Hahaha bet you're mad too eh?

We can build bases all along that boarder dems would lose their minds then they love putting illegals first

Build that wall!

Such a waste. Obama sent in troops also to defend the southern border. Build the wall. They work

Or we could form a bipartisan commission to study the problem & come up w/sensible recommendations ( in place of governors from border states who don't want to risk political futures by weighing in, though they know first hand what the problems are)

Lol. That’s what the boys signed up for

How is spending money on troop deployment and temporary fencing more effective than spending it on building a wall?

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😁

Just wait till the D wins in 2020 and something similar happens with guns. Cons will have amnesia and it will be a beautiful thing listening to them whine.

....FAKE 'CRISIS'...CREATED BY : ...TRUMP...FOX NEWS...AND... ...ALL-RUSSIA STATE TV... ....'DISINFORMATION' CAMPAIGN...

He sure loves to waste taxpayer dollars.

Why isn’t the freedom caucus completely flipping out over this waste of money?

My heart goes out to the family and friends of those UNNECESSARILY deployed ❤️

InvisibleHand78 Good! We the People have had enough of these free loading illegal aliens whom, for some reason, have money for cell phones and smokes but don't seem to be bringing any women and children with them for 'asylum!'

This is so wrong!!!! They should be training and not be building Trump's ego wall!!!!

FakeCrisis

Well, yea because we've got just over 2 weeks to be convinced again how DIRE the health and safety of our citizens is, and how real his CRISIS is. Then he calls Marshall Law and a National Emergency. He'll be able to really screw with us then!

Good day to be in the concerts razor wire business 🙄 How fucking ridiculous Waste of time and manpower How about going to Puerto Rico and help rebuild

Dems will never cut their ONLY lifeline to control. They have outran their lies so often here at Home that they have to bring in fresh blood bought with tax dollars given to despots for purchasing of their most costly citizens. Bus them here for their votes and get media onboard.

Why don't they get deployed to Flint Michigan and build a new sewer system so Americans everywhere can have clean water. That's the real crisis.

Again Really

hahahahahahahaha

Right. Cuz when desperate people come running to you for help, nothing says welcome like barbed wire. Good quality stuff, too. Guaranteed to tear several deep gashes into mothers and children fleeing for their lives

All these women children and babies with ladders advancing towards the front.

Deployed away from their families, added expense housing them so they can put up razor wire? How much training etc will be missed Trump 'mismanaging' military and border security - making the US 'less' safe TrumpUnfit GOPComplicit

Wire instead of a wall? Will that appease Trump?

Idiotic. Mismanagement & absolute waste of resources.

That should stabilize central and southern america.

Stop spreading this BS and that is such a fake pose please !!!!!!

Ridiculousness!!!!

General Mills recalls some flour over salmonella concernsMINNEAPOLIS (AP) — General Mills is voluntarily recalling some bags of its Gold Medal Unbleached Flour because of salmonella concerns. The 5-pound (2.26 kilograms) bags have a 'better if used by' date of April 20, 2020 and the UPC code 000-16000-19610-0. Customers should discard the product. The company says it discovered salmonella during sampling of the product, but it has not received 'any direct consumer reports of confirmed illnesses.' How does salmonella end up in flour? Is that something that happens? Very noble! 🤔 Unless people are devouring handfuls of raw flour, there really shouldnt be any reason to worry.
