    That is not true and you have it completely backwards. The plan the move the FBI HQ has been in the works since 2012. Trump canceled the move when he took office. The Democrats claim he canceled the move in order to KEEP IT WHERE IT IS AT, near Trump DC in order to stop commercial development in the location WHERE IT IS CURRENTLY AT.

    The $1.75 billion is to build a new building in the HQ's current location, which is 4 blocks from the WH and trump supposedly wants to keep it close to the Justice Dept.. If the HQ is moved, the proposed sites are in the suburbs.

    Basically, if the money is not included in the bill, NOTHING WILL CHANGE. The HQ will remain where it is at and will still operate out of the old building. Though I do agree that the funding for the new building should not be a demand in this bill.

    When there is no compromise, it is BOTH parties fault.

    Oh suddenly the debt becomes a factor when money is being handed out to workers versus losers.

    Very weird on your liberal part.

    Somehow, diehard Trumpers fail to notice that 'ObamaCare' was not "immediately!" replaced with Trump's "something terrific!" that cover "everybody!" at "less cost!", that there is no "big, beautiful wall of concrete and rebar" that Trump made Mexico pay for, that he did not resurrect coal mining, revive the steel industry, or rebuild the nation's crumbling infrastructure. His major campaign promises were filed under his promised tax returns.

    Republicans offered four bills. Democrats refused to negotiate on any of them and just said no no no and no.
