admittedly I haven't been following this shit show all that closely, but was it ever contemplated that he would sign the bill AND declare a national emergency? 

I think they're doing this as a rear guard sort of thing. They know it'll get tied up in the courts and not actually happen, but they can say they tried and somehow his supporters wont count it as a loss

Hrmm, didn't McConnell and all these supposed other super micro-boner enraged conservatives bitch non-stop about Obama's executive overreach?

it's going to be a hilariously massive loss. i see what you are saying, and yes, that 30% or whatever will not waver and will chug that koolaid until they start choking from the poison.

I know the Legislature is spineless and all, but signing off on the use of Emergency Powers for this immigration situation seems like for whatever reason should be the proverbial straw that breaks the camels back in terms of Trump support.   I mean how close will the Legislature let us walk towards the edge of the cliff before they do something?

Most of them are extremely stupid and have no actual values beyond maintaining their grip on power and using that power to enrich themselves.

Hopefully, Nancy Pelosi will force them to vote on it.

Whoever runs against Cornyn should constantly run ads about how he supports Trump’s efforts to needlessly steal private lands from Texans

Madam Speaker just talked about a future Democratic president declaring a national emergency for gun violence.

It begins.

Never. They've made the decision and will go down with the ship.

Maria took the virginity of the Virgin Islands...sign em up!

pelosi hasn't committed to a course of action (though i doubt that)

trump is walking right into her trap. she invokes the power of the purse, article I, and the idea that democratic presidents can also issue national emergencies.

these dumb fucks have cut off their own balls.

Oh please, they'll all vote for their orange god like they always do. Spineless cowards, all of them.

We'll see. They don't want to vote on it.

National emergency for gun violence talk not going away.

They just have to be smart enough to con the simpletons like texashammer, oatmealcookie, chrispy and the rest of the trumptards whose biggest complaint in life is that they can only spend 24 hours a day sniffing Trump's farts.

I am sure all the trumpkins are going to love the future Democratic President declaring a national emergency on Climate Change.

No it won't. A dem would never do this, and if he/she tried, would never get away with it. Only the dotard can get away with this crap because he is supported by the largest cult in modern history.

mcconnell just said that trump will sign the bill. then he'll declare a national emergency. and mcconnell will support the president in that declaration.

what a shit show.

THIS IS NOT AN EMERGENCY, YOU ORANGE TWAT

It brings me much joy to know that flowers will never be able to survive on McConnell's grave because of all the piss.

let us keep in mind that this is a massively unforced error by senate republicans. 

say congress passes the bill, and trump vetos. the republicans can tell him to get fucked, as they should. 

THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A CHECK ON THE EXECUTIVE.

cowards, the lot of them, led by the lead coward, mitch fucking mcconnell.

lol so the Dems caved and Trump will still declare a national emergency.  Great work.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday she will “of course” allow a floor vote on any bipartisan border security proposal crafted by congressional negotiators, but she drew a red line, insisting "there's not going to be any wall money in the legislation."

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/pelosi-draws-red-line-money-border-wall/story?id=60750381

Quote

The plan provides $1.375 billion for 55 new miles of fencing on the U.S.-Mexico border, far short of the $5.7 billion in wall money the president sought to fulfill a campaign promise, and provides funding for nine federal departments through the end of the fiscal year Sept. 30. Trump’s administration has been examining how to use executive authority to shift money from other government accounts to put more money into border barriers.

Why does Trump have such a hard on for the government contractors? It isn't his money.

If the dems gave everything Trump wanted, why would he need to declare a national emergency? Trolling should take a little more effort

He got less than he wanted before the shutdown began. We went from $1.6 billion to $1.375 billion.

Yep, the dems caved.  Sure thing.

Your boy bitched about being played:

President Donald Trump appears to be moving -- unhappily -- towardsigning a bipartisan agreement that provides only a fraction of the money he demanded for a border wall. But in conversations with allies over the past days, he has griped that Republican negotiators were outplayed by their Democratic counterparts, securing a border funding number far smaller than Trump has spent the last two months demanding.

Meanwhile, your conservative wet dream tweeted this earlier:

To add to my "they're stupid and selfish" from last page, they like breaking norms and the system in general. That's what they see as their path to staying in power. They're not opposed to Trump in principle but too scared to act. They're not simply being shortsighted and trying to get to the next day without encouraging a primary opponent. They are happily abandoning their sworn duties in favor of taking a bulldozer to American democracy because they're opponents of American democracy.

Ann Coulter isn't really my type.

It's understandable, paying people what they're owed instead of cheating them goes against every fiber of Trump's personal credo
