Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) reportedly warned President Trump this week that declaring a national emergency to build his U.S.-Mexico border wall could create a rift in the GOP conference.
The Washington Post reported Friday that McConnell told Trump the Senate could pass a resolution disapproving the emergency declaratioN.

Chamber is calling in their chits with their sh&ts. If I were Trump I would tell McWeasel if you had done what you promised I would not be doing this, and I am doing this with or without you. You can stand with me or the open border democrats. Choose the RATS and I will primary traders and run against both of you.
Well said. You exposed the GOP establishment for the fraud that it is. Great comment!
Sometimes I say things in a roundabout way.
Yes, McConnell is a Cheap Labor Express stooge.
Just like George W. Bush. And Jeb! Bush.
There was nothing roundabout in that one, though. LOL
This is obvious FAKE NEWS.
Senate is not going to oppose POTUS as long as Republican voters support him!
The Act requires 3/4 of both houses to override.

That may be but I have zero confidence that the pathetic GOP would support Trump or do the right thing to protect the country. They are a bunch of backstabbers and liars.
Yep. The Gutless Old Party strikes again. They don’t care that the party’s voters supported the president’s agenda and want the damn wall built. What a bunch of pathetic, sleazy losers they are.
The bizarre thing is the beltway elitists don’t seem to have reflected for one moment on Trump’s election. Main Street is rejecting the political class. This won’t end well for these old dogs. Guaranteed.
“1. I’m not sure Trump can veto a Fongressional vote of disapproval”
Yes he can. Bypassing the Executive branch is unconstitutional.
“2. Even if he can veto it, Don’t assume there aren’t 18 Republicans to join the Dems and override a veto. Most GOP senators are open borders, in thrall to billionaire donors”
There’s only 6 GOP Senators that might support the resolution.
If he doesn't start that wall, a lot of Deplorables won't have his back. And he'll be dependent on establishment Republicans to save his Presidency.
Is Trump going to continue to be the GOPE’s neutered lapdog on wall funding or grow a set?
LOL. Maybe the dumbest thing I’ve ever read here. Your expectations are vastly outside the scope of reality. We’ve never had a POTUS without the support of his own party until Trump. Historic times and uncharted waters.
No need to wonder why nothing has been done on the border and the mueller coup is still in full swing...Chicom McScrotum and the rinos and neverTrumpers that make up the GOP aka the washington generals.
A good percentage of GOP poliiticans don’t like Trump. But what’s worse is that they don’t like or respect their own voters either. Make no mistake about it, The GOP’s refusal to back him is a direct reflectiom of how they feel about us.
How I would love to (one of these days) read a headline that said: “Trump warns McConnell...”
I don’t trust Mitch and I hate the Koch pigs. But, if the Washington Post says anything, I assume the opposite is true.
I think I know why he doesn’t but I wish he would start calling out GOP trash too
Our time is moving fast Mitch. Strike while the Iron is hot.
Of course they could, they are part of the problem. How many are not up for re-election in 2020? Would the ones that are paint such a target for replacement upon themselves? Interesting times.
I'm okay with that. Make it a strongly worded resolution of disapproval. Trump builds the Wall. The GOP Senate looks treasonous but compassionately treasonous. America becomes safer.
1. I’m not sure Trump can veto a Fongressional vote of disapproval
+++++
I don’t believe that a Congressional vote actually has any legal power. I could be wrong but this is simply the way a few GOP Never Trumpers prepare for the 2020 election and beyond. Foolishness squared.
