The Trump Border Wall Saga

[QUOTE=Kblaze8855]I think this here is gonna be the reason the senate tries to block it too:

They know the next democrat if hes extreme enough would declare a BS emergency for global warming or child hunger or whatever else.

Mitch said he thought the Senate would narrowly vote to block it. Right now pence would be the tie breaker but some more republicans are leaning towards blocking it too.

Its all just ammo for the legal fight im sure.[/QUOTE]

You can practically see certain Dems who are currently running for President rubbing their hands together like, "Bet...."

4 Republicans would need to cross over to vote with Dems and Independents. As of right now, I believe Collins, Murkowski and Tillis have publically stated that they would vote to disapprove of the National Emergency declaration. Republicans leaning to disapproval probably include Ben Sasse, Mitt Romney, Pat Toomey, Rod Portman, Rand Paul and Marco Rubio, but who really knows how they'll vote when tested.

Whoever writes and produces the saga of the last 4 years as a TV series better do a good job. These stories and plot points are way too rich to put out a lackluster product.

I think it

[QUOTE]Senate Republicans are offering a choice to President Donald Trump: Withdraw your national emergency declaration at the border or face a potential rebellion from the GOP.

The message was delivered clearly on Thursday by Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), part of an effort by senior Republicans to avoid a direct confrontation with Trump on the Senate floor.

In a much-anticipated floor speech, the retiring senator declined to state whether he will become the deciding vote to block the president

And Rand Paul makes four. Now let's see if additional Republicans join in or if, now that there are enough votes, the rest side with Trump to avoid the ire of his base.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump on Monday will ask the U.S. Congress for an additional $8.6 billion to help pay for the wall he promised to build on the southern border with Mexico to combat illegal immigration and drug trafficking, officials familiar with his 2020 budget request told Reuters.[/QUOTE]

:facepalm :oldlol:

He probably expects the emergency declaration will backfire on him with even a bunch of Republicans voting against it.

He will never get the $8.6bill from Congress in 2020 budget, and he probably knows it. I bet he will use that denial as an excuse for another government shutdown end of 2019. It's all to appease his hardcore Trumpeter fanbase as we get closer to 2020 election.

That budget is laughable... and it's compounded by the wall funding request. What really stands out though is the proposed cuts to Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Trump swore up and down, left and right that he wouldn't cut funding for those programs and accused other Republicans running for the Republican nomination in 2015 of planning to do so. And here we are.

I spoke to you about it like a reasonable person despite all evidence you will eventually flip out and start with insults and nonsense...and what did you do? Flip out and start with insults and nonsense. I assume others learned not to have serious conversations with you before I did. You only want a conversation about how right you are. Not real discussions from other view points. Once its clear the other person doesnt think what you think you act like it must be some kind of fabrication of their beliefs because nobody could reach a conclusion other than yours. That isnt getting anyone anywhere.

Well makes sense considering medicare, medicaid and social security make up the bulk of the spending budget.
