Four Republicans – Sens. Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell, of Kentucky; Susan Collins, of Maine; and Lisa Murkowski, of Alaska, sided with Democrats in voting for a resolution that would repeal the emergency declaration that permitted Trump to levy taxes on Canada by citing deadly fentanyl flowing across the border. The measure, introduced by Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., passed the upper chamber of Congress by a 51-48 vote.

So where does this leave Trump on this issue?
Even if it passes the House, which is unlikely, there are not enough votes to override Trump’s veto.
It’s a resolution.
Means squat.
Talk is cheap.
Damn them each and every one.
“It’s a resolution.”
Thank you.
I was all keyed TF up.
Doesn’t change a thing....The usual trouble makers. I’m actually surprised at McConnell. The girls....they pull this sh** every time. They’re simply 100% anti-Trump.
It has no effect................

Never underestimate the ability of rinos to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory- they are masters at it! Vict9ry to them is apparently repulsive and undesirable likely because it means they lose their golden goose slush funds if they were to back a president who is trying to make America great again. How many kickbacks from Canada are those rinos getting.?
The gifts that keep on giving: Paul, McConnell, Collins, and Murkowski,.
The US trade deficit with Canada is about 64 billion. This is small potatoes compared to the overall $1.5 trillion annual US trade deficit.
Most of the upheaval is the Swamp terrified that the approach that generated $37 trillion in debt and their security as card carrying members of the Swamp is being rejected as acceptable.
McConnell is turning liberal right before he leaves because he hates pres Trump and wants to hurt him on his way out of congress- just like Paul Ryan did
Leaving the USA to deal with the Chinese-owned fentanyl labs in Canada making product and sending it into the US
By operating in Canada which basically legalized hard drugs, the drug lords avoid the death penalty in China and shorten their logistics
The biggest fentanyl lab bust in the world…was in Vancouver.
And given Canada’s almost nonexistent screening of immigrants and granting citizenship, it has become the preferred route for terrorists to enter the USA
Every American death now that results can rightfully be laid at the feet of these liberal idiots
NOT veto proof. Rand is a puke.
Not well, I bet.
Rinos ,one and all.
Here’s the interesting thing...
I just checked the Senate’s website. Thomas. LOC.
Nowhere can I find a record of the vote or the bill.
Congress is taking its sweet time updating these days.
Gee, wonder why.
We need to see the text, if any, of what was voted on by the Senate.
Pukes!!
Finally Republicans/Conservatives have someone fighting for us, and these db’s change sides!
