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.

He should not declare an emergency, just send the military down to the border and build the wall.
Even the Pentagon says he can do that.
If the Republican Senators want to get in Trump’s grill, then it is time for massive civil unrest to get in McConnell’s grill.
There is no more road left to kick the can. The Republicans had two years of total control of the government. They need to get the hell out of the way.
See my post #79.
It’s bad. The treachery of the GOP is beyond the pale. Especially while America’s survival is on the line.
They all need to be brought to justice.
I saw this on OAN and I nearly fainted.
Who the he!! do McConnel and Pelosi think they are???
This has got to stop and that idiot, whom I thought was sensible, Thune, comes out with President Trump “shouldn’t use Twitter.”
We have NO ONE except the President on our side.
I’d like the names of the mutineers and I bet the first name is Romney. We should notify them that they will have
as much support in coming elections as they gave our President.
GEEEZ, I was miffed
and why would the Senate stand in his way, McConnell - didn’t you and Ryan both promise the wall ‘after the elections’ ??? So why aren’t the Congresscritters ready to rock and roll????
We have coyotes bringing buses of sick people to the border to occupy our agents while they bring drugs and humans across a dozen miles away. The cartels have changed tactics from crying babies at the border gates for sick kids and mothers in delivery in the middle of nowhere.
Our border agents are not the Red Cross. They are law enforcement officers. Build the wall and let them go back to enforcing the law. If the job description has changed to ambulance escorts and babysitters that take no skill or education, then why pay more than $10/hr? Let Border Patrol do the job they were hired to do.
McConnell is no fool, he knows damn well we can’t have a War on Drugs without Drugs and there is no way in hell he will allow any disruption in the War on Drugs by a silly Wall.
Lets see the rift...
More swamp to drain
Wishful thinking. When Mueller drops his impeachment report, we’ll see how they vote.
They’ve always had the votes in the senate. They just need a good excuse(a legal fig leaf) from mueller. They’ll be upholding the rule of law dontchaknow.
You’re making the mistake that Senators actually represent the people. They don’t, obviously. They’re special interest dead-enders or worse. If they’re called to fall on their swords to remove Trump, TPTB will have a better gig lined up for them when they do.
Trump is a 3rd party President. THE AMERICAN PARTY.
Unnamed sources from the Washington Post and people are getting upset.
There gig will be at the end of a rope.
It’s my understanding the law allows for him to build the wall without issuing an emergency.
“When Mueller drops his impeachment report, well see how they vote.”
Aye.
When that turd hits Pennsylvania Ave. we’ll see how the blowhards vote.
They all talk a good game of allusions, but let’s see how they vote when “it’s us or them” is crystallized in a single vote. With the entire electorate watching.
Like I said, Impeachment never even passes the House. Won’t even get out of committee.

Good point. Its not like the GaoP establishment has given us any reason to be suspicious of them
The rift that keeps on giving.
So true. I’ve had it with the GOP.
As soon as I read the word “reportedly”, I know, with about 90% certainty, that it is BS fake news...
Yes, any suggestion that the GOP establishment isnt for the wall has to be fake news
GOP is a worthless party. GOP and DNC are why Washington (the President) hated them.
Put ny congress critter that will not support stopping the illegal alien invasion in jail.
