Daily Signal:
President Donald Trump vetoed a congressional attempt to overturn his border emergency declaration, marking the second time he has vetoed such a resolution.
“In short, the situation on our southern border remains a national emergency, and our Armed Forces are still needed to help confront it,” the president said in a veto message Tuesday night, while the top-ranking Democratic presidential candidates debated in Ohio. read more
Heard at the Dem debate: “We’d better keep the border open to allow more voters in or none of us will win”
How the hell is the Senate passing this???
You can thank these Senators:
The Republican senators who voted in favor of the resolution were Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, Roy Blunt of Missouri, Susan Collins of Maine, Mike Lee of Utah, Jerry Moran of Kansas, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Rand Paul of Kentucky, Rob Portman of Ohio, Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, and Roger Wicker of Mississippi.
BTW when it comes to voting against the President, Lou Dobbs let one of them have it. I wonder if Scalise knows he sounds ignorant to say the President has been strong and right on foreign policy, but….. he still voted against him. Not that he wanted to talk about that though.

I can understand Paul’s vote, but the rest need to run as dumbocrats next election.
It took some digging, but I finally found the list of RINO Reps. who voted for this resolution:
Of the 13 House Republicans who opposed Trump, four are conservatives with strong libertarian leanings: Reps. Justin Amash (Mich.), Dusty Johnson (S.D.), Thomas Massie (Ky.) and F. James Sensenbrenner Jr. (Wis.). The other nine are more-moderate Republicans, and some represent swing districts where Trump is not popular: Reps. Jamie Herrera Beutler (Wash.), Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.), Mike Gallagher (Wis.), Will Hurd (Tex.), Elise Stefanik (N.Y.), Francis Rooney (Fla.), Greg Walden (Ore.), Fred Upton (Mich.) and Cathy McMorris Rodgers (Wash.), a former member of House GOP leadership.
Old Racist White Woman, in other words, “The Usual Suspects.”
old_oaks, Alexander is stepping down in 2020, maybe we’ll get a Republican this time. As a matter of fact, I think he’s already started his next job, no more often than he can be bothered to vote.
