President Trump is pledging a veto if Congress passes a resolution blocking his use of a national emergency declaration to fund a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Mr. Trump told reporters at the White House on Friday that he would veto the resolution introduced by House Democrats earlier in the day.

"Will I veto it? 100 percent," the president told reporters.

The move by House Democrats starts the clock on a constitutional clash between Mr. Trump and Democrats and sets up a vote by the full House as soon as next week.

1. d'oh

Everyone is gobsmacked with surprise that the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief would threaten further stupidity. Right?

2. Well look at it this way the next Democrat in office can declare a national emergency on a host of

things like healthcare for example and the Repugnant party will be unable to oppose it without looking like hypocrites even more which should drive away even more independent voters.

3. They'd reframe the argument as they always do...."that was a REAL emergency" or some suce

Repubs always manage to reframe the argument when it comes to them being hypocrites. All they have to do is convince their base that it's different.

7. Sure their kool aid drinking base will buy it but they do not matter in the grand scheme of things

as there is no way to reason with them but rather it could effect the independent voters and bring enough over to help us do real long lasting change.

4. drumpf is counting on GOP 100%

My guess is that there will be some GOP that have, or seriously considering backing this should drumpf veto it. He can veto all he wants. If it goes back to Congress, and they over-ride his veto, all he can do is throw his typical Twitter-Fit.

5. No shit Sherlock did you expect the orange maggot to not veto it?

6. Put the republican Senate on record supporting Trump's Fake National Emergency.

8. I'm not so sure,

the bill is going to pass the Senate before a veto.

We are dealing with traitorous Republicans.

9. I just got a YouTube ad claiming 266k criminals were arrested by ice coming

From the south. The promoter was neck or something like it, wish I’d written it down.

Bullshit.

10. I would love it if Trump vetoed it and Congress overrode the veto.

11. He and his ass-sucking little nazi maggot, Stephen Miller

have been trying to create a Constitutional crisis since day one. This has been their ultimate goal. It was only a matter of time before they arrived on the topic.
