“One month ago tomorrow, President @realDonaldTrump signed a national emergency declaration to address the humanitarian and security crisis on America’s border.”

Which never needed to happen. PDJT has always had plenary authority to secure the border. This is all bullsh!t kabuki theater.

He will..ZERO doubt, he will for sure 10000 percent Veto this..in a way Im glad this happened..shows how these scum bags feel about open borders, now we know..remember when Paul Ryan told Trump in 2017 that wall funding would NOT pass, Ryan is a sh*thead but he was right, he knew, some of these “Republicans” want open borders, Dems want them for votes, Republicans want them for cheap labor. How many of them have illegal alien maids, nannies, etc

Yes the RINOs are posturing on this they know it will be vetoed.

1. Alexander - well we know he will be primaried next time & should be!
2, Blunt Definitely needs to be primaried,
3. Lee - Mormon Church needs the federal money that illegals attract,
4. Paul - libertarians are comfortable with this whole nation thing! Why is anyone surprised?
5. Portman - definitely needs to be primaried,
6. Rubio - definitely needs to be primaried but won’t be,
7. Wicker - Definely needs to be primaried,
8. Moran - needs to be primaried,
9. Romney - Mormon Church needs the money etc.

Collins, Murkowski, Toomey - problem here their replacement will be a Rat! We only have one house. Right now (if ever!) we can’t afford to give it to the Rats.

My email to Moran:

Why is it that when President Trump declares a national emergency that correlates exactly with laws already on the books, you object, but when President Obama declared emergencies that had no relation to existing laws, you did not object? The border wall/fence is authorized by law. Congress decided to not fund the construction in order to pretend to care about protecting the nation while doing nothing to actually protect it, apparently.

Your vote today in favor of nullifying the national emergency declaration is an in-the-face slap at conservatism and the rule of law. Illegal aliens are coming in unbidden, admitted in many cases due to the outrageously lax “asylum” rules, where breaking the law to enter puts them light years ahead of those who follow the law and apply in their home country.

Yet you feel the need to fly your middle finger in the face of every conservative Kansan who believes the wall is moral, necessary, and right. You, in my opinion, epitomize the Republican party - anti-conservative, but just slightly less so than the Democrats. I see no reason to support you in any future elections.

I can’t wait for Ann Coulter’s blistering rant against Romney for this one.

Time to let these Traitors know what we think of them

If I REALLY did that, I’d probably get in trouble.

The primary reason we even HAVE a government is so that our people can be protected. If they’re not doing that - and these clowns are willfully, stubbornly, intentionally NOT doing that, they deserve to be out of office.

I AM proud to say that I didn’t vote for that dickhead Toomey. I only wish that I could go back in time and take my vote for Romney back.

And while this B.S. kabuki theater has gone on...another 150,000 plus illegal alien democrat voters have made it across the border this month.

His relatives live in Pontotoc, just West of Tupelo. Its time these politicians begin to see their families suffer for their selfish and corrupt decisions.

Can Trump still veto this?

I think he should sign it and then issue a new emergency declaration the next day. If Congress wants a war on this issue, then make it a war.

Well, gee! The website is “temporarily down” for “maintenance”. What a a freaking surprise.

“Normal service will return soon” - like a bull servicing a cow, I’m sure.

Not really surprised. These 4 especially.

And Rand can often be counted on, too.

Mormon Church needs the money etc.

That’s the problem.

They vote for their silly cult instead of we-the-people.
