Trump on brink of defeat on border emergency
https://www.politico.com/story/2019/...ngress-1185589
Quote:
President Donald Trump is on the verge of a bipartisan rejection of his emergency declaration at the border in what would be an embarrassing rebuke by a Congress opposed to his immigration agenda.
Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) on Monday night said he would join Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine, along with 47 Senate Democrats to block Trump’s attempts to secure billions for his border wall after lawmakers effectively stiffed him. Now just one more GOP senator’s support for a resolution to block Trump's bid would send the measure to Trump’s desk and force a veto.
“Conservatives rightfully cried foul when President Barack Obama used executive action to completely bypass Congress,” Tillis said in a Washington Post op-ed on Monday night. “There is no intellectual honesty in now turning around and arguing that there’s an imaginary asterisk attached to executive overreach — that it’s acceptable for my party but not thy party.”
Still, there is clear reluctance in the GOP to bucking Trump.
Numerous Senate Republicans say that, like Tillis, they despise Trump’s decision to declare a national emergency to get additional funding for his wall. But most aren’t ready to say they will vote to block him from doing so.

Will the rest of these cowards do the right thing, or stick to their cowardly ways? Stay tuned...

I'm betting on them remaining cowards when it comes to overriding his veto. They're scared to death of his Twitter finger.

GOP leader unsure on legality of Trump’s emergency declaration
Bullsh*t, Mitch. You know good and well it's totally illegal, you're just trying to find a way to keep Donny and the fake right-wingnut "news" media happy. Good luck with that.

No, he didn't. He said he was not personally involved (as he was not on the campaign), but expressed suspicion about an instance where Junior appeared to inform the Dotard about the upcoming Trump Tower collusion meeting.

Videos of Mark Meadows saying ‘send Obama home to Kenya’ resurface hours after he’s accused of racist stunt

Despite his protests and tears, he’s as racist as Donny.
