Where are the Trump Republicans?

[Sandy Shanks]

Trump Republicans are not Republicans, meaning they are not true conservatives. True conservatives are strict Constitutionalists. They would never allow a President, even a Republican President, to assault our Constitution. They would never allow a President, any President, to challenge the powers of Congress based solely on rejection or a campaign promise.

Trump recently declared a national emergency for the expressed purpose of going around Congress to get funding for his wall. Because Congress denied those funds twice and they have sole power of the purse, that is a direct attack on our Constitution.

True Republicans joined with Democrats to prevent the Presidential threat to our Constitution. Congress passed a bill that voided Trump's declaration. Trump vetoed the bill. Enough Trump Republicans voted against the bill to sustain Trump's veto.

Put a different way, Trump Republicans in Congress voted to weaken the powers of Congress by granting the executive branch the power of the purse.

Now to my question. Where are those Trump Republicans? What are they saying? My searches for their statements have proven futile.

Trump, of course, never suffers from a loss of words, and in an idiotic way he bragged about his veto even though a substantial number of Republicans voted against him.

True Republicans who voted in favor of our Constitution also have made a number of statements.

Trump Republicans are mute.

One Trump Republican had this to say. “I don’t believe a national emergency declaration is the solution,” said Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., who warned of taking the country down a “rabbit hole” with future presidents seizing unchecked executive power. Then he changed his mind and voted against Congress.

“I wish he wouldn’t have done it,” said Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, echoing comments by GOP colleagues. Then he voted against Congress along with his GOP colleagues.

Many Republicans back Trump's emergency plan, calling it justified by the need for border security. They do not mention the border wall, which is the entire reason Trump declared a national emergency in the first place.

And they don't dare mention Trump's threat to our Constitution and the impact it will have on Congressional power.

It’s an outcome Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and his leadership warned Trump against. For days, they publicly urged him not to declare an emergency. But with Trump’s signature Friday on the action, the Republican leaders are largely falling in line behind Trump. Trump's national emergency sparks new GOP divide in Congress

Since then, Trump Republicans have been silent on the matter. Why is that? Are they embarrassed they are supporting an issue that diminishes their own power?

Are they embarrassed of their support for Trump?

Trump is a very bad President. His own followers can't openly support him. They go into hiding.

 

[Wyatt earp]

Well no kidding, Trump is a liberal with an (R) after his name, that's why the left despise him, the same way they hate blacks and women that vote Republican

 

[S.J.]

Republicans have not been silent. Where do you get that?

 

[JGalt]

 

[Missourian]

Put a different way, Trump Republicans in Congress voted to weaken the powers of Congress by granting the executive branch the power of the purse.

TL;dr

But this is total bullshit and if you believe it, you are mentally retarded.

This is from the NY Times...a liberal like you should respect that.

"One of the laws permits the secretary of the Army to halt Army civil works projects during a presidentially declared emergency and instead direct troops and other resources to help construct “authorized civil works, military construction and civil defense projects that are essential to the national defense.”

Another law permits the secretary of defense, in an emergency, to begin military construction projects “not otherwise authorized by law that are necessary to support such use of the armed forces,” using funds that Congress had appropriated for military construction purposes that have not yet been earmarked for specific projects.

In light of those statutes and similar ones that give presidents flexibility to redirect funds in a crisis, the Trump administration could point to serious arguments to back up Mr. Trump if he invokes emergency powers to build a wall..."

National Emergency Powers and Trump’s Border Wall, Explained​

He is not "usurping" anything, stooge. He is redirecting funds authorized by Congress and using laws that Congress has passed previously authorizing that redirection.

Now please Jake Starkey, Republican...sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up while those of us who actually understand what the fuck is going on discuss solutions.

Thanks in advance.

Most of them, yes, but the Republican Party is the only one who has a few conservatives (real Americans). The Dem Party is a lost cause, they're completely in the tank for Marxism and have to be defeated. It's imperative to vote Republican for that reason. No other issue is more important.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

The democrats are done. There isn't an american in the lot of them and if there are any, they are hiding under mexican skirts.

 

[K9Buck]

The U.S. Congress is no longer willing to protect the nation's borders or its citizens. Hence, Trump is obligated to act.

The "true conservatives", have not been successful even in conserving the American people. At best, they have been successful at conserving leftist policy enacted decades ago. The constitution has basically become a joke, they certainly didn't conserve that either.

What use are these people?

Jeffery Toobin of CNN fame said something very interesting recently.

News commentators on CNN were discussing the many times Trump has lied or misled the American people. Toobin asked why should Trump change? He got elected acting the way he does.

I paused the television and thought about that. Toobin was right.

Trump tweeted six times before noon Monday -- following up on a weekend twitter tirade that sparked widespread criticism. In one of the Monday tweets, he once again attacked the "Fake News Media" he said was trying to blame him for Friday's mass shooting that left 50 people dead at two mosques in New Zealand. :roflol_O

These are some of Trump's comments and tweets today. They seem to reflect a certain amount of paranoia.

"The Fake News Media has NEVER been more Dishonest or Corrupt than it is right now," the president wrote on Twitter at 5:24 a.m. "There has never been a time like this in American History. Very exciting but also, very sad! Fake News is the absolute Enemy of the People and our Country itself!"

"Fake news?" What organizations is he talking about? He offers no substantiation of his charges, just blanket, meaningless, indiscriminate accusations.

"I was never a fan of John McCain and I never will be," Trump said, matter-of-factly, seven months after the passing of the longtime Senator and one-time prisoner of war. "I'm very unhappy that he didn't repeal and replace Obamacare as you know," Trump said. "He campaigned on repealing and replacing Obamacare for years, and then he got to a vote, and he said thumbs down. And our country would have saved a trillion dollars and we would have had great healthcare." For Trump that is a burning issue today.

Trump took a break from Twitter on Tuesday to meet with Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. "I’m very proud to hear the president use the term fake news," Trump said of Bolsonaro at one point.

At the press conference with Bolsonaro, Trump also weighed in on what he sees as tech companies' bias against conservatives. "It seems to be if they are conservative, if they are Republicans, in a certain group, there is discrimination," Trump said. No one has any idea what he is talking about, particularly members of PF. Trump's fans have as much say as anyone else on PF.

"We use the word collusion loosely all the time and I will tell you there is collusion with respect to [social media companies], because something has to be going on," Trump said. What is "something?" Something is synonymous with anything. Again, no one knows what he is talking about.

"Look at what is happening with the networks, what is happening with different shows and it's hard to believe we win," he said. "But I tell you what it really shows, the people are smart. The people get it." What in the world is he talking about?

Earlier Tuesday, Trump launched his most pointed vitriol yet on lawyer George Conway, the husband of his senior adviser, Kellyanne Conway. "A total loser!" he wrote on Twitter.

“Have we ever seen this degree of brazen, pathological mendacity in American public life?” Conway said. “Whether or not impeachment is in order, a serious inquiry needs to be made about this man’s condition of mind.”

“His condition is getting worse,” Conway said.

WELL!

When the crazy angry left starts defining their conservatism ideal it means they are plumb out of ideas and now they are reduced to inane meaningless fantasies that they pretend are political arguments.

Poor little thing, Trump used tools congress gave him, and cries when they can't stop him with the exact same rules they put in place that gave him the power in the first place. He didn't circumvent the Constitution, if anyone did, it was congress by abdicating their power in the first place. Grow the fuck up and realize congress gives away their power because they are lazy. They allow bureaucrats to write regulations they should be writing, but it just too hard for them to actually do their jobs.

Pretending there is no problem doesn't count. Ignoring the issue altogether and giving us unsubstantiated B.S. from the Trump website doesn't count, either.

Most importantly, Trump's friends could not come up with any comments from Trump Republicans in Congress who voted to weaken the powers of Congress.

That is interesting. Trump Republicans in Congress are embarrassed of their support for Trump.
