BREAKING: Democratic-led House votes to block Trump emergency declaration for wall money, sending issue to GOP-led Senate.

February 26, 2019

“I personally couldn’t handicap the outcome at this point,” said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who’s planning a vote within the next three weeks. Democrats said Republicans repeatedly accused former President Barack Obama of flouting the Constitution, which gives Congress control over spending, but are ignoring Trump’s effort to do the same.

Democrats also said the crisis is a fiction manufactured by Trump to dance around Congress’ vote this month to provide less than $1.4 billion for barrier construction. That was well below the $5.7 billion Trump demanded as he futilely forced a record-setting 35-day federal shutdown.

It is another shame for democrats.

It is sad to see how blind Democrats are to the suffering from child sex, human & drug trafficking. Only rich DNC donors benefit from Open Borders. Who is most harmed? The poor, legal immigrants & refugees. Why did the Dem party turn their backs on the working class & farmers? $$

❤️❤️❤️

KTLA Way to fight for the people who elected you guys! Keep up the shitty work!

They waste time and money. Disgusting. They can’t seem to work for the people’s best interest, only self interest. Swamp. Why trump was elected.

He drops the price from 11 billion down to 5 billion for border security, and only gets two bill. All this for the American people. And yet the radical Democrats don't want to give America proper security. Smh.

komonews

komonews If Nancy Pelosi wants to travel overseas why doesn’t she get her 109 lobbyist friends who funded the Democrat excursion to Puerto Rico to finance it?

There is an emergency at the border. Maybe not building a wall is the answer but there are immigration issues that need to be tackled and not ignored.

And exactly nothing to be done.........hope they had fun voting lol

Democrats are the party of socialism

Remember when all democrats wanted a wall?

messer_micah BREAKING: They’re well short of the 2/3 votes it will require to overturn Trump’s assured veto.

They just keep wasting resources but the more foolishness the bigger the red-wave in 2020.

LovToRideMyTrek POTUS will veto and there ain't shlt they can do about it. He has won 😄

Democrats are genocidal maniacs

And then? - - to senate and? DOA

Does this surprise anyone? Dems are America hating children who have been crying buckets of tears for two years.

The 'show' is about making Republicans either support their President's actions, or stand by the Constitution. Trump is going to VETO...that is a given. To over-ride the VETO is where the rubber hits the road. Good luck with that!

Democrats getting that murder boner when getting the chance to terminate anything with life in it.

komonews People are missing the point. If Obama did this, or if any president that doesn’t belong to your party does this you’d be up in arms. You can be happy all you want if you like Trump, but don’t go complaining if another president does it down the road. This isn’t a dictatorship.

This is really starting to piss off me and a lot of other Americans!

komonews Get this woman new teeth!

I am not worry about NO from Democrats. It's ok to have own opinion. But what is bother me that Democrats not proposing any solutions for so many years. Just say NO means you don't care about our country

***whole news association holds a celebration at the headquarters.

Where it'll die

The GOP fails America again. Why? The spell of a mad man or money or fear?

ARobbinsTV Well let's see what the Senate does. Oh that right, it doesn't matter. If they pass it, POTUS will veto it and they do NOT have a veto proof majority. This means dick.

obstructionism demonstrated by the dems... they do Not care for those they supposedly represent. think about this? who pays taxes in USofA? people need to remember what their platform is: open borders=criminals. increase taxes=break middle class. imo

Thank God

It is the laughter

Democrats just sealed it fate for 2020 , killing babies that are born, not securing the border, for MS13, and gangs and drugs, open boarders, and socialism!

It's so strange that people are trying to get through to Trump.. that just doesn't happen easily. The big cardboard signs don't do the job either. There must be a better way.

PaulZeise Terminate pelosi’s position

KTLA How about housing all those that voted against the wall, right on the border. The part without the wall!

Cool, more virtue signaling, adults run the Senate tho,

MeghanMcCain should join weight watchers.

Hahahaha what a waste of time. Can they get some work done now. Trump's out bustin ass and they are trying everything in their power to try and stop him. American is being made great and they can't stand it.

Losers.

komonews I expected nothing less from this group of idiots.

Dems and Repubs who disagree created the problem by refusing to face reality. Congress is the problem. Dems rely on Courts to decide & legislate which is not their responsibility. It’s the responsibility of Congress.

They will pay dearly at the ballot box... luatics!

Wow, finally a chamber of Congress that actually does what the majority of Americans want!

For what? The GOP led Senate is just gonna block it. More games.... we need legislators that actually do something

It was a crisis back in 1986 and should have been handled properly then..! And 33 years later is still a crisis ' just because illegal successful crossings ( 400,000 give or take every year) is not at its peak doesnt mean it is still not a crisis..!!

In truth, the president is using his constitutional authority the same way other presidents have, in order to find money to deal with an emergency. Trump’s proclamation declaring an emergency meets every requirement of the National Emergencies Act of 1976.

Can’t wait for the NewGreenDeal vote in senate

If there was NO emergency the msm would be down there filming every day.

It would be SO nice if the people elected to represent us cared as much about AMERICANS as they did about illegals. SpeakerPelosi

Can you say VETO!!! Yep 👍!!!

😂dems have no chance in 2020 1. Killing 8 month old babies 2. Open borders 3. Socialism everything

😂

Anyone with half a brain knows the wall hurts Democrat votes. It’s their bread and butter now. What happened to the cries for a wall in the past from these same folks?

Oh how so significant. And so useless. Is there nothing that both parties can agree are good and need doing? Nah. Empty political gestures is all you'll get ...

It’s comical how many signs like this you see government folks using. They aren’t cheap. Pretty good indicator of just how loose they are with taxpayer money.

Soon to be vetoed

They love those drugs coming in... and those 100 plus overdoses a day!!!! Good work SpeakerPelosi TheDemocrats SenSchumer

They kill babies and want to let criminals in to kill everyone else.

Publish the names of House Republicans that voted to undermine our Constitution and Balance of Powers.

Thanks to the House Dems & the Republicans who voted with them. This is why the midterms were so important. Hold Trump accountable! NoWall

Just go home

Who didn’t see this coming. Step one done. Let’s see if this pans out with the eventual veto, and failed over rule vote.

Good luck in 2020. MAGA

theschnittshow Whenbis that woman retiring...soon I hope

BorderWall trump

senatemajldr & his fellow Republican Senators know they will be Fired by my Nationwide Conservatives they go against President realDonaldTrump on this issue here.

🤑Everyone in Congress gets a small salary and magically they are all Millionaires!!! We need to investigate this!!🇺🇸

What a surprise. That just proves the Democrats don't believe in American's safety and security.

Wow, who would’ve figured?🙄

KTLA Not going to happen. BuildTheWall

So? He has VETO power. I hope he uses it. Dems are a**holes

KTLA Democrats choose illegal alien invaders over US citizens.

It's not unconstitutional and it is an Emergency with drugs and illegals coming across the border. Without a strong (non-porous) wall, there are sure to be more deaths. Check with Congressman Sylvester Reyes.

🤑Nancy Pelosi has been a public servant her whole life. She makes $200k a year and somehow has a net worth of $100 million dollars. We need to investigate this.🇺🇸🇺🇸

Has more to do with authoritarian power grab then the wall

Will the GOP have the bravery to do the right thing and shut the Tyrant down? FakeEmergency FakeTrumpEmergency

KTLA

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Veto!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

SenToomey you want to tell us how you will vote now? Both prior to and after the veto. Or still just Monday morning quarterbacking as a senator?

They didn’t “ram” it through. They had 13 GOP defections. Do better

Yawn. Drink some more SpeakerPelosi

Like this will really work lol.. 1 word... VETO!! And guess what, it's legal!! He's President like it or not.

Wasting taxpayers money for something we already know will be vetoed and you don’t have 2/3 vote to pass it

HA

🤦🏽‍♂️

I want SpeakerPelosi for President! Pelosi2020 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

So how many hundreds of thousands of illegals do we need to break into our country, overwhelming our social and court systems, before it becomes an emergency?

Build the Damn thing and move on

Baby killers blocked it.

Democrats killing babies now, don't want to protect boarders...this is a calling to every patriot for action!

So what. VETO

SenateGOP senatemajldr let's see if the GOP senators remember their oath of office or will they be afraid of a tantrum by the toddler in chief

Democrats also voted in favor of infanticide.

Whoah look its congress doing its job! Now all eyes on the senate. ..

Means it will be passed and be another fight in a few years when a liberal president does the same thing and republicans will scream about how unconstitutional it is

As expected. Excuse we while I yawn

Now, will the senate have the moral fortitude to do the right thing? Hahaha, just kidding, of course they will line right up with the crazy in the WH.

Obvsuily it’s not an emergency when Americans are being killed by illegal immigrants.

How many pieces of sh*t can you get in one photo?

shocker AmericaFirst

Poor Trump, he's gonna cry like

This is not even news.... He'll Veto it. So more blah blah blah from the MSM

YES!

If you are not rich but you voted for racist Trump, can you name one thing he has done for you and don't mention tax cut because that was not for you, if you filed this year you should know that

We're resisting....yay!!!

Block it. Stop it.

Go home and be gentlemen

It’s symbolic at best!

It'll die in the Senate, and if not, get the Trump veto and the wall will be built. Would Democrats prefer to be fined $800 for not liking the wall, like people were with Obamacare?
