Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
well gotta face something I guess
This is basically their argument.
"Sure Biden explicitly said he wouldn't build one new inch of wall but these are funds that were already earmarked and if they don't use them it goes away so it would be a waste of money not to."
"Why not just not use the money and not build the wall"
"You don't know how politics wprks"
That would be rude and disrespectful to the 2019 members of Congress.
Whats the actual law here? Like is it that the money should be used by x date for y purpose or else it's forfeited, or is it an actual mandate that it MUST be used by x date for y purposes or etc etc
Obviously, whatever it is, they should say fuck no regardless, but im curious.
I don't think it's even that. They're waiving the clean air and clean water acts to build the wall so if there is a law saying they have to spend it I'd live to hear some liberal explain why Biden can ignore thenlaws about protecting the environment but not the ones that say you have to spend money on racism.
