Trump to declare national emergency

Libs are going to be beside themselves !


President Donald Trump will sign the border-security agreement that heads off a government shutdown but declare a national emergency at the same time to build his proposed wall, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Thursday. The agreement contains less money than Trump wanted but heads off another government shutdown after midnight Friday. McConnell did not give any more details of the emergency declaration while speaking on the Senate floor.

Yet that Constitution gives him the power to declare such an emergency and to control border security. Something the Dems refuse to do.
trump has proven he is incapable of working within our Constitutional system. His attempt at an unpresedented power grab will lose a large percentage of independent voters.

More importantly for the GOP....McConnell's cave on supporting a National Emergency will haunt the Repubs for years to come. This is an unparalleled effort by the Executive Branch that.....left unchallenged...will set a precedent for future Presidents....

The Courts will rule against trump and he probably knows it. He is counting on a short term win that will assure him of a long term loss....

The courts will slap his obese, orange, ass down....

Go Fish
 
Oxymoronic to complain about money taken from infrastructure construction as the drug cartels invade U.S. national borders with fatal substances as deadly as artillery. What part of 'military' may elude the reader?
 
In 1976 with the drafting of the update of the National Emergency statute in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal and Nixon's attempt to absorb extraordinary Presidential powers, new termination laws were codified to allow Congress to reclaim their Article 1 powers assumed by the president ceded by Congress.

50 USC § 1622 contains those specifics which include termination of a Presidential declaration of a National Emergency through a nullification process if both Chambers concur with a SIMPLE MAJORITY VOTE in both houses. If one Chamber votes to terminate, the other house is required to vote, and NO FILIBUSTER for the Senate.

The Speaker of the House will likely prepare the Joint Resolution soonest, and McConnell has no damn choice but to hold a vote in the Senate per the requirements of the Statute. If the Resolution gets to the Senate, it likely will have enough GOP Senators crossing the line easily. If McConnell gets smart of a sudden, he'll turn his caucus loose to vote on their own.

~~ 50 U.S. Code § 1622 - National emergencies ~~
Senator Collins already came out yesterday saying it was a mistake. She won't be the only one. Everyone who disagrees with the national emergency declaration are warning about equal hijinx by the Democrats, once one is Pres again.
They'll declare gun violence a national emergency. They'll declare climate change a national emergency, which it is. They'll declare a barrier to be a NE, and tear it down.

Just stop already. Everyone knows why your people's panties are in a bunch over this: You don't want to see Trump elected for a second term. It has nothing to do with a wall or a national emergency. It's all about losing again in 2020.
 
Except what was declared is unconstitutional and against the law. It's not going to happen.
Ummmm.....it IS Constitution, and it IS already happening.

RIGHT NOW, there are 31 previously declared National Emergencies still in effect ... an in 'ON-GOING'!

I know it is hard for them to do, but snowflakes need to think this through....

IF the Democrats challenge the President's Congress-Authorized used of declaring NEs, and IF they win...do they have a clue what that means?


IF ruled 'Un-Constitutional', EVERY SINGLE 'NE' declared by Presidents in the last 40 years - beginning with Carter until now - will be included in the decision that 'NE's are 'Un-Constitutional'. The 31 On-Going 'NE's will be immediately declared 'Un-Constitutional' and will immediately STOP! The other 19 will have to be reviewed and anything permanent / long-lasting as a result of them would have to be eliminated / revoked.

EVERY ONE OF THEM. This is not an 'A La Carte' move for Democrats - they can't just say Trump declaring one is 'Un-Constitutional'. They are saying ALL of them are.

Trump won't be elected because of his criminal liability. Even McConnell and the Senate are walking away from Trump. Why do you think McConnell went along with the NE? Because he knows it will be lost in the courts, and McConnell gets to keep his mouth shut on a declaration that Trump will lose, not McConnell. Trump is extra baggage for Republicans now, so they'll just let him fall in his own pile of shit.
 
Trump declares national emergency to "unlock" $8 billion for his border wall
Thompson had discovered that Ocasio-Cortez’s boyfriend, Riley Roberts, is now listed as staff in the House directory and tweeted “while you were having a nice Valentine’s Day, @AOC decided to put her boyfriend on staff – drawing a salary on the taxpayer’s dime. Nice to see her adapting to the swamp so quickly.”





Oh yes who didn't get their wall bitches. LOL Now what kind off stunt will the democratic idiots pull to hault this , stop it, etc, etc. You know these foaming at the mouth rabid dogs will be on a war path now.

And neither are the Tariffs, or NAFTA, or Congress. Trump lied. He's the ultimate failure. And now he is riding rough shot over the law.
 
Obama gave nukes to Iran. Hillary gave uranium to Russia. Trump gave the wall to america!

I would HOPE that the Democrats would not repeat the un-Constitutional works that Trump is taking us through right now, but with their recent track record, they probably would, just for shits and giggles.
So yeah, this thing needs to be nipped in the bud so that neither party tries it again for quite some time. Trump has already convinced his supporters that the newspapers are all lying so when the Mueller decision comes down it will be conveniently ignored. Now he's literally giving the Constitution the middle finger and trying to take what he wants, without permission. This is becoming serious enough to start thinking the dictator foolishness might be right. He is an old man who always ran his own company the way he wanted. He knows no other way to be.
