Excellent description of the emergency which congress turns a blind eye to.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Well done.

[Taxman]

Well, we will see - I don’t think they do either, but then there are VERY RICH people out there who are willing to write VERY LARGE checks to see that The Wall is NEVER built!

It originated in the House.

A veto can be overridden only by a two-thirds vote in both the Senate and the House.

So, if there is no 2/3 vote in the House, I presume there will be no vote in the Senate.

I don’t believe there are 290 votes to override in the House, so my email to Senator Rubio will be ignored.

Glad I sent it, anyway!

[Taxman]

Not unless they get 290 votes in the House to override the veto.

[TexasGator]

They only got 245 on the original resolution.

[Taxman]

Well, there it is, then!

Veto will stand!

How rational people can dispute anything he said, I don’t know.

They are hoping that Roberts will also stab us in the back. He already ruled against Trump asylum policy and issued snarky comments against Trump.

Justices Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Kavanaugh took the rare step of noting their dissent, indicating that Roberts and the four liberals together rebuffed the administration’s application.

If I were Trump, I would seriously consider hand picking replacement candidates to run against these 12 RINOs in their primaries in 2020, and do everything I could to kick their asses out.

You know folks, Trump has already served 25% of the time he will have allotted to him, even if he is re-elected.

We need to quite wasting time fighting our own party.

Just run these guys out of town.

Interesting point, FRiend. My gut is telling me to agree with you, my brain awaits further evidence.

I’m by no means a McConnell hater. Yes, he’s not everything we might want in a majority leader. But unlike RINO Ryan, he’s done some things right.

If nothing else, he stood strong on Gorsuch and, especially, Kavanaugh. For the two Supreme Court justices and the ever-growing roster of lower court judges, we should acknowledge that Yertle has his Yuses.

So it is President Trump, 44 Senators and 182 Representatives who are on our side. This is not a good sign. We must remember those who voted against the declaration of emergency and get them out of office.

I can only hope and pray that there are still some Democratic citizens that are truly fed up with what THEIR chosen party is trying to do to this country and then decide it’s time to CHOOSE some other ‘party’ to vote for!

[Elsie]

Bingo!

The current situation requires our frontline border enforcement personnel to vastly increase their humanitarian efforts. Along their dangerous trek to the United States, 1 in 3 migrant women experiences sexual abuse, and 7 in 10 migrants are victims of violence. Fifty migrants per day are referred for emergency medical care, and CBP rescues 4,300 people per year who are in danger and distress. The efforts to address this humanitarian catastrophe draw resources away from enforcing our Nation’s immigration laws and protecting the border, and place border security personnel at increased risk.

 

 

But he STILL uses the word that the LEFT has foisted upon us!!

 

ANY other country would rightly call them INVADERS and REPEL them at the border; not accept them in and listen to their 'stories'!!

I need to copy and frame this. Thank you so much, Mr. President!

PS. Ann Coulter needs a padded room

[wastedyears]

I love that guy.

[Eleutheria5]

Mine would have begun and ended with “FU”.

[windsorknot]

My highest obligation as President is to protect the Nation and its people.

I wish Congress had the same purpose.

[Rapscallion]

Excellent Memo. It will have standing before the courts and in history.
