There should be some form of Presidential EO based on National Security that orders payment to the Military.


Or McConnell could just allow a vote on the McCaskill bill that does just that. He won’t though because Trump and the Republicans are intentionally using military pay as a political football.

That's rich. Can we at least have a debate on whose political football should have the priority in this particular standoff?

1.) US military pay (Republicans)
2.) Illegal aliens (Democrats)

True, TP...but the point has been made and the Dems are now on Record as choosing the security of Illegals over that of our Military. Time to wrap it up and move to the next battle.
