And the House and Senate will say "no". Then what?
It would be fun if, at the bottom of the text, he wrote in, in pen, “and BLM and Antifa and Anarchists and Black Panthers”
And then He signed it.
Meanwhile, in Texas...
Define hate?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t I have a constitutional right to believe what I want, to love or hate as I see fit? If I hate Brocolli, should I be deported or exiled? What if I hate a certain kind of music?
Freedom is worthless if the govt is entitled to tell me what to love and or hate.
It needs to have the Neo-Communist AntiFa in it explicitly.
Lets include Antifa, communists, union thugs, and Islamic terrorists on the list too.
These Senators..are wasting our hard earned tax dollars to make a point that doesn’t need to be made.
None the less they stand together, in unison and harmony, and shout it to the moutrain tops for all to hear.
You are on notice KKK and neo-Nazis!
Actually, that is a really great idea.
Sign it, but add a very lengthy Presidential Signing Statement to it, including:
Declaration of Antifa (and similar groups) as “domestic terror organizations”.
Calling on congress to enact a federal “anti-mask” law, which enhances penalties for those convicted of wearing a mask while committing a federal felony or serious misdemeanor.
Direct the US Attorney General to determine the sources (George Soros) of funding for organizations involved in rioting and deprivation of Civil Rights, or who advocate the violent overthrow of the US government.
Expand the definition of “hate crimes” to include all people who engage in hate crimes, while committing violations of federal law. (Answering the question ‘can black people commit hate crimes? with a determined “YES!”)
Looking at the Constitution, it appears that Resolutions are not “Bills” that become law, but any Resolutions that come to a vote before Congress are submitted to the President for signature, and if he refuses to sign the Resolution, it appears to be the same as a veto that can be overriden by Congress in the same manner. Based on that construction, it appears the President does not have the authority to amend or change the text of the Resolution in the same way that he cannot do so to a Bill.
He can make a signing statement in conjunction with signing the Resolution, and condemn all hate groups, which does not mean all groups on the SLPC hit list. If he wants to name names, fine. (Antifa, BLM, SLPC) I’m all for it.
Tack on the debt ceiling increase on it also.
A bipartisan group of senators plans to introduce a resolution that “[rejects] white nationalists, white supremacists, the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazis, and other hate groups” and send the document to President Trump’s desk, per Politico.

Assholes. Like their “resolution” means anything to anyone.
Pure BS and outright lie.
Democratic Sens. Mark Warner and Tim Kaine and Republican Sens. Cory Gardner and Johnny Isakson, aka: fowl feces.
It forces Trump to go on the record condemning hate groups — something he halfheartedly did in the days after Charlottesville.
Pure BS and outright lie.

Yep. I guess “condemn in the strongest possible terms” wasn’t strong enough for them.
But they can’t repeal Obamacare, cut spending or lower taxes.
BINGO!
Add "Earth Liberation Front" (ELF), too!
Condemning the “legal”?
Insist that the list in the resolution include all ethnonationalist organizations, including BLM and the NAACP.
But Black Lives Matter or ANTIFA...?
Crickets!
