White House indicates Trump to veto disapproval of emergency
Associated Press ^ | February 17, 2019 | Zeke Miller

Posted on 02/17/2019 8:16:38 AM PST by Olog-hai

A top adviser to President Donald Trump indicated Sunday that Trump is prepared to issue the first veto of his term if Congress votes to disapprove of his declaration of a national emergency along the U.S.-Mexico border.

White House senior adviser Stephen Miller told “Fox News Sunday” that “the president is going to protect his national emergency declaration.”

Asked if that meant Trump was ready to veto, Miller added, “He’s going to protect his national emergency declaration, guaranteed.”

Trump declared the emergency Friday in an effort to go around Congress to fund his border wall. It would allow him to move federal dollars earmarked for military construction to the border — but is already facing legal and political challenges. …

If an invasion of America by armies (”caravans”) of foreign freeloaders isn’t an emergency, I don’t know what is. I knew this was going to happen when the far left politicians started legalizing drugs for “recreational” use.

DEMOCRATS’ EIGHT COMMANDMENTS (they actually believe in something)

Defending the citizens of the republic is now fascism.
If you don’t let illegal immigrants invade your country - you’re a fascist.

If you don’t submit to communism you’re a fascist.

If you don’t turn over your guns to prove you won’t be violent - you’re a fascist.

If you actually use the banks and commerce to silence opposing viewpoints to communism you’re stopping bullying.

If you use threats of violence (Maxine, Obama, antifa, Hillary, Pelosi) and actually shoot republicans, you’re a hero.

If you use social media to silence conservatives, you’re aiding the cause.

If you villify Pres Trump and his followers in Hollywood, you get an award.

Will the Senate pass this? I doubt it. If it does it’s time to cross the Rubicon

......Trump and his team blocked several moves by Pelosi and other Democrats to fill the emergency deal with anti-wall moves .....

(HAT TIP sara barracuda) Democrats will fight to the death to prevent a wall; they need illegal voters for their very survival as a party.
MILLIONS of illegal aliens pouring into our country is NO emergency to them; it means more Democrap power over us.

"Pelosi and Schumer gave us directions to electoral college states."
"We're already registered to vote Democrat."

I don't understand... what is there to veto?

If this is simply a resolution that doesn't pass any legislation, then what purpose does a veto serve?

Why does the GOP have a political death wish? What a sad way for the Party of Lincoln to die.

“”I don’t understand... what is there to veto?

Sure glad you asked the question. I read through the posts to see if there was anything explaining what there would be to veto and I sure didn’t see anything so I don’t know what they’re talking about.

If it comes to that, hopefully, Congress won’t be able to override that veto. It’s a certainty that they will try.

However, there is no real difference between communism and fascism. And of course, fascism was founded by a communist, Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini, who uttered these “fascistic” gems:
God does not exist. Religion in science is an absurdity, in practice an immorality and in men a disease.
— 1924

[T]he object of the regime in the economic field is to ensure higher social justice for the whole of the Italian people… What does “social justice” mean? It means work guaranteed, fair wages, decent homes; it means the possibility of continuous evolution and improvement. Nor is this enough; it means that the workers must enter more and more intimately into the productive process and share its necessary discipline… As the past century was the century of capitalist power, the twentieth century is the century of power and glory of labor.
— 1935

When the war is over, in the world’s social revolution that will be followed by a more equitable distribution of the earth’s riches, due account must be kept of the sacrifices and of the discipline maintained by the Italian workers. …
— 1941
As can be seen, fascistic rhetoric is no different from communistic rhetoric.

I guess the Dems in the House could pass such a Resolution, but I suspect Mitch will never let it see the light of day in the Senate.

That's my thinking, too.

Congress can't pass a law removing the specific authority that President Trump used in order to stop him, because that would be an ex post facto law. They can only remove the authority from future use. That can be vetoed, and that veto can be overridden.

This veto would be upheld. There are not 2/3 in either house to override a Dec of Emergency.

Now, had he vetoed the BUDGET, yes, that would have been overridden.

We need a viable labor party. And I don’t mean a union run labor party. Just a party of workers that believe in MAGA and think all immigration should stop for decades while we try to assimilate the ones we have..
