Unless they can block a veto, this is probably pretty irrelevant to Trump.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Veto will be upheld in the House? Meaning that they won’t get 2/3 to override?

It wouldn’t get 2/3 to override in the Senate either.

Anyway, we all wait for the other shoe to drop on this, as someone will go to the 9th circuit or some other liberal venue, to find a liberal judge to issue an injunction.

We know this happens, even if John Roberts says there aren’t liberal or conservative judges, etc.

[Buckeye McFrog]

If the GOP wants to commit suicide I won’t shed a tear for them.

[Lower Deck]

But not to sustain the veto.

Congress is pretty quick to give money to foreign countries but god forbid we ever do even the slightest thing to protect this country.

[RinaseaofDs]

This just after all the love at CPAC. The GOP is the enemy of the people.

[bigbob]

Do not vote to reelect any one of these grandstanding, virtue-signalling SOBs who are doing this because they know it is symbolic.

[JoSixChip]

The real question they are voting on is if what is going on at the mexico border constitutes and emergency or not. It is an emergency. The money being moved around is just an excuses to hide what they really want.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Trump (may re-election be upon him) will either sign it or allow it to pass into law after 10 days. Today is [15]. Count out 10 days after it goes to POTUS.

He knows he can get things done during another prolonged shutdown. This time, Rand Paul will be the fall guy.

[GBA]

Electing Trump was like turning on the light.

Now we are seeing all the dirt the darkness has kept hidden from our view for decades.

I wonder... are there any penitent politicians in the house or will there be politicians in the penitentiary?

[Aevery_Freeman]

Well, we elected these people.

Honestly, after suffering through Obama, the GOP is worried about a future Democrat President overstepping his authority?

That's like the cheerleaders protecting the virginity of one of their own after she banged the whole football team.

McConnell's words don't ring true.

[jersey117]

If I were Trump, I’d threaten a new Patriot Party. Screw the Republicans. The Senate has been a good-for-nothing body for quite some time now.

[mrmeyer]

Shit like this is why I left the Republican party back in 2010.

[JoSixChip]

It better not be a voice vote, I want to see how the scumbags vote. We need sunshine.

[Glad2bnuts]

Thank you traitors, we will then have a clear conscience to vote you all out. It is way past time to start finding great opponents to primary these arrogant a holes.

[Magnum44]

Why is McConnell allowing this to come to the floor? Doesn’t he control what comes up for a vote? Someone explain this to me, from a perspective other than McConnell is a swamp creature.

[Political Junkie Too]

The question will be whether McConnell backstabs the President, or were the reports that McConnell pledged support in exchange for Trump signing the spending bill true and McConnell maneuvers to make good on that pledge?

A Senator's word is his currency in Washington. McConnell the deal-maker may be about to crash his bank account.

The title of the article is intended to damage Trump, but the first sentence makes it clear that the Senate vote is only symbolic, so big deal.

[EinNYC]

I'd like to empty my cat's litter box, right after she used it, over McConnell's traitorous head. My hatred of this smug traitor, helping to destroy America, knows no bounds. Ditto Schumer, Pelosi, and the RINOS Collins, Murkowski, et al. For personal gain, they are ready, willing, and able---eager---to destroy our country forever in return for personal gain of money and power. What extraordinarily LITTLE people they are, and they should be squashed like a bug. Instead, their ignorant, libtard, drugged up constituents, rather than do a bit of research to find a better person to vote for, just pull the lever for the name they know on the ballot. These kind of mentally lazy and physically lazy (too much trouble to make it to the polls at all) people are not the people who built our marvelous country. They have no wit and they have no grit.

I am somewhat in despair this morning after reading that McConnell is doing his lowlife best to quash Trump's emergency declaration. I really would like to stomp this turd, this traitor, and wipe the smile off his chelonian face.
