McConnell says trump will sign bill....but then will issue National Emergency

[Kondor3]

The Democrats should have given him the damned $5.x billion.

It would have been better for the country to do that, than to let Trump declare a national state of emergency.

Idiot Dems.

Trump will sign spending bill and declare a national emergency, Mitch McConnell says

So Sean will continue to tell him how great he is....what a weany

Trump didn't want our government workers to be held hostage by the demo leaders again. That is the big plus with this emergency on finishing the wall.

Poll shows voters blame Trump more than Dems for government shutdown
Poll: Voters blame Trump, GOP for shutdown

Enough said.

Doesn't matter.

The 35-day shutdown is 'so yesterday'.

Idiot Dems.

We didn't elect all those new democrats to congress for their first act to be caving in to Trump.

Tell that to the 580,000 contractors who got fucked over.. Just like in Trump's life before becoming president, stiff the contractors he employed.
What a piece of shit.
But Little Trumpsters don't care, that speaks volumes about their morals and empathy.

Yeah, who even remembers shutdowns.

Finish the wall.

It's a 55 mile cyclone fence, you moron, not a fucking wall. LOL.

And the contractors who put it up will rip it back down when the idiot-in-chief tries to stiff them on it like he does in all his other business dealings.

Wall of cyclone fence*

Fixed that for your simplistic self. But yeah, there's already a wall. Just needs to be finished. Hence why we want to finish the wall, dummy.

Foolish democrats cannot understand that only if the men are on your side you can declare an emergency and make it stick


President Andrew Jackson had the men on his side and said no to the congress and courts

He took the military against congress and courts to make the Indians go to reservations

Trump seeing how the unwise and crazies are electing crooks will bring logic tests for voting

Trump will copy the wise founders who would not let the unwise vote or be on juries

 

[BluesLegend]

It will be even more awesome if Trump flips Pelosi and Schumer the bird right after declaring the emergency.

Ann Coulter Loses it on Trump Over Funding Deal screeching: "IT’S OVER IF HE SIGNS THIS BILL!"

One Fox Vixen bites Orange-man on his fat ass but not close T-rump adviser Hannity.

 

[McRocket]

If/when it happens, the courts will give us the latest state of the union in terms of checks and balances. If a President can declare an emergency exists where clearly none does and loot the treasury to simply satisfy a campaign promise, this opens the door to campaign promises being unteathered to any action by the Congress. Money allocated for specific purposes in the Congressional bills will be meaningless.

The courts will render themselves a 3rd branch or they will render themselves meaningless.

It will be fun to watch.

Yup....the next Democratic president will call a State of Emergency after the next school shooting and make assault rifles illegal....good for the goose....good for the gander....

Exactly.

Cats out of the bag now.

Wait until the next Dem is in the White House.

Planned Parenthood needs more funding - but Congress won't give it to them...State of Emergency. That means more federal funds for abortions, Reps.

Liberals want more Stem Cell research funding, but Congress will not oblige...State of Emergency. More embryos destroyed for research. Way to go Reps.

Liberals want to seize former POTUS's Donald Trump's bank accounts...just for the heck of it. State of Emergency allows for it.

Liberals want to tear down the border fences (calling them immoral). Reps in Congress won't do it. State of Emergency.

There is a TREMENDOUS number of things the POTUS can do under the State of Emergency.

You short-sighted Reps have just opened a flood gate that will do NONE of us any good in the long run.

All for you stupid wall - yet you won't do ANYTHING about additional penalties for those who actually employ illegal immigrants (which would do far more to stop illegals than a wall 100 feet tall).

You short-sighted ignoramuses.

I guarantee you will come to regret it when the next Dem is in the White House.

The bill is BAD. Loaded with tricks and gimmicks. Dont sign it. Declare emergency but don't put your name on this garbage.

 

[McRocket]

If the southern border problem is a 'National Emergency'...why did Trump not declare a National Emergency over it last year? Or in 2017?

Becuase Mexico ramped up the dumping of rapist, murderers and child molesters last Nov Dec ahead of the Wall building. Family units mixed in with human garbage. Caravans started up. It is now an emergency.

After this bill, Americans know Congress is for open borders.

 

[Crixus]

Yup....another trump induced shutdown would have been the worst for the GOP.

Ho hum. Another shutdown that basically affects overpaid do-nothing gubmint drones.

Normal People don't care.

I made lots of money and didn’t donate to one during the whole thing.

It doesn't matter whether Trump signs the bill or not - because it was passed with veto-proof majorities in both houses.

I think he could veto it. Then the Senate has to over-ride that veto? By 2/3 majority?

It passed in the Senate with 83 votes. That's more than enough to override a veto.

The GOP-controlled Senate easily cleared the bill, which included only about a quarter of the money Trump sought for border barriers, by an 83-16 margin. The Democratic-held House approved the measure comfortably in a 300-128 vote.

Shutdown watch: House and Senate pass border bill, Trump to declare emergency

when the House votes to kill the national emergency, by law it goes to the Senate for a vote.

if the same number of Republicans follow suit his national emergency is DOA.
