BREAKING: Mitch McConnell says Trump will sign spending deal and declare a national emergency
"I just had an opportunity to speak with President Trump and he’s prepared to sign the bill," McConnell, R-Ky., said on the Senate floor. "He will also be signing a national emergency declaration at the same time."

ART OF THE DEAL
Is that a good price?
To a non-burger, what powers would be given to Trump in a case of national emergency?
Oh shit forgot to quit my shitposting flag
An asston, thanks to Obama.
Wtf I love unrestrained executive power now
From what I know of it, he basically can do whatever the fuck he wants until the SCOTUS steps in.
Read it yourself

There are literally 31 national emergencies in effect right now in the US. The only reason this is significant is because Trump wants to use it to shift around money, leading to questions about whether that’s an abuse of power since Congress is supposed to be appropriator
What are they
It's a series of national emergencies going back to 1979 (Iran), almost all of which are trade/diplomatic penalties related to international conflicts. In this case it's just a way to sidestep congress to get a domestic political agenda through.
Trump's claiming he's got $23B from other sources he's going to nab for the wall
LMAO. The silver lining of this though is that if a socialist ever gets elected president, now there is a precedent for just calling a national emergency whenever he wants to nationalize something.
The military industrial complex is surely going to love this….
That’s not how the act works and the fifth amendment is a thing, retard
So why the big deal this whole fucking time and past 2 months? He's so full of shit.
So basically. This would be the first domestic national emergency? Not to invoke memes, but pic related.
Fuck yes i was so afraid he'd pussy out and not do this.
God I fucking hate democrats. At the very least Trump is trying to build his promised wall but the America-hating/beaner-loving democrats won't build the damn wall and cut make the illegal spic population go down 40%. Fuck democrats. Trump's a retard
but the democrats are something else. They know beaners will vote for their satanic cult. Same shit here in Canada (where I live). Justin Trudeau, the anti-Canadian traitor and his I love niggers and muslims bullshit. Niggers and muslims love voting liberal. Then the cucked conservashits kiss nigger ass by any means necessary because they know the shitskin wave will never end so they need to hop on the diversity bandwagon to survive. This whole planet is going to shit. The world's always been shit, but there's always been a gold standard of countries (America, Europe, etc.) Not gonna be the gold standard for much longer I'm afraid.
Yeah ok bro
Okay gramps.
critically support President Deals in his battle against neoliberal labor mobility
So just "properly compensate" private property owners in order to take their property. Let the humungous military of the USA negotiate a price between the government and the MoP owners.
...
The government decides what "due process of law". A monetary transaction at gunpoint can easily be considered "due process".
In the US, the federal judiciary has the final word on the law, not the president. If an American Salvador Allende was elected tomorrow he would endlessly get cucked by the judiciary.
There is well established precedent about requestioning property.
en.wikipedia.org
“due process” means through the courts
What's the point of the national emergency if the spending bill already gave him money for the "wall"
Optics I assume. I don't think it will work though.
Yeah it's optics for sure. I can't think of any other reason tbh. Remember, anything done from now on is 2020 campaign trail material, all else is second. You gotta show you're the boss somehow so a national emergency is the card you play.
Trump's core supporters don't care about policy as much as aesthetics. As long as Trump "wins" they will continue to worship him. Securing funding in this way keeps him in the "winner" camp even though he technically lost. The only way to actually hurt Trump's chances would be to actually stand up to him and refuse to compromise , which is of course something that linerals in Congress simply won't do.
He's about to get JFK'd
All of them.
Including the power to legally test biological weapons on random citizens.

Oh no no no no no
what was the point of carrying out the shutdown so long if they were just going to fold immediately before it starts again?
J U S T
This will surely not end up biting the Democrats in the ass
Cocaine Mitch forever!!!
Getting cucked like this is the only thing that's broken the trance of his followers.
Hes not declaring Marital Law. Trump is not hitler.
No he's just a hilarious retard
He can send weapons to another country with no consequences under an emergency.
Venezuela Contra situation incoming.
Pretty much.
...
Greatest. President. Ever.
Trump has this completely under control. This is the 4D Grand Wizard Chessmaster we're talking about. I mean, look at everything he's done. He moved the embassy to Jerusalem! And he's going to cure AIDS! Wow!!! This is the next George Washington, ladies and gentlemen. My only gripe is that he's accepting $1.3 billion for border security when he could be sending it to Israel, our greatest ally and God's Chosen People. The $3.3 billion they're already receiving simply isn't enough!

"Let's talk about today: The one-year anniversary of another manifestation of the epidemic of gun violence in America," Pelosi said. "That's a national emergency. Why don't you declare that emergency, Mr. President? I wish you would."
What she actually said is a lot different, tbh. Not that her actual positions on guns aren't shit.
I doubt it
The amount of chaos that would ensue from triggered Trumpen proles watching their messiah's golden weave blasted from his skull probably makes them hesitant.
I'm pretty sure some of those idiots would go full domestic terrorist in retaliation.
Do it, CIA! DOOOO EEEEEET
I wanna see someone fly a plane into the Pentagon with a Nuke.
Of course not. And Sula was not Caesar and Caesar was not Augustus. But without Sula there are no Roman emperors.

People who don't understand how the common law works shouldn't be allowed to read the Constitution. If you want communism, you have to get rid of the Constitution. That's all you need to know.
bump he surrendered to the democrats
He did the national emergency thing too.
"surrendered"?
Dems are in lockstep. Pathetic.
the spending bill gives everything the democrats wanted and nothing that he wanted in return
that's going to get challenged in court
Ann Coulter and FakeTrumpEmergency are now trending worldwide.

lawsuits already starting
I don't have nearly enough popcorn for this shitstorm.
We must unironically support Trump in this action. The neoliberals are attacking him now for setting a precedent of "un-democratic" presidential actions, and if they succeed we will only get more liberal democracy. We must not allow peace to put the working class at ease.
ACLU using Trump
Trump has virtually unlimited funds through the justice department
Even if ACLU wins Trump could bankrupt them in lawyer fees
suing*

Protesters blocking traffic in front of Trump International @riseandresistny #FakeTrumpEmergency #FAKENationalEmergency #NoBanNoWall
it would probably delay wall construction until the next election though.
if a lawsuit actually prevents the national emergency
one of the lower court judges is likely to block it like with the muslim ban and his DACA repeal
nice
Tfw no book user believes something an caps do
