What I'm seeing here is that Democrats could have rescinded the funds when they had a majority, but didn't feel like it.
Contracts were already signed. I'm sure it was much more complicated than your explanation of essentially, "meh"
Look at those goalposts move.
If he tried to get congress to do something, it's because congress could have done something.
I get that you want to be able to order everyone who doesn't worship every last failure and capitulation of Democrats to shut up and be happy, but we're not all centrists who love it when the party we voted for acts like the party we voted against.
Woah you're assuming a lot there. Sorry you're having a bad day, get some rest and drink some water.
You ignored this in favor of condescension:
But hey, condescension is all centrists do when a progressive brings up something they can't address.
Anyway, congratulations on all the dead ocelots.

Concession accepted.
If you think we were arguing then go ahead and consider that a concession. If it helps your ego.
You had two opportunities to address my point, and instead became condescending and dismissive. Would you prefer the term "forfeit"?
Congratulations on getting the wall you, trump, and biden all wanted.
