While Delaware’s congressional delegation slept
Trump to declare a “national emergency”.
President Trump plans to sign a border deal that will avoid a partial government shutdown, and at the same time declare a national emergency, as he has threatened to do, in order secure more funding to build a border wall.
The White House confirmed Trump’s decision, which was first announced by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on the Senate floor.
“President Trump will sign the government funding bill, and as he has stated before, he will also take other executive action — including a national emergency — to ensure we stop the national security and humanitarian crisis at the border,” White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement.
And merrily off to court we go! No doubt the Trump brain trust of Coulter, Hannity and Dobbs thinks this is great stuff and a no shut down win-win. As ever Trump is abusing his extensive executive power in a way no other president ever would and provoking a constitutional crises while he’s at it. “Hello Brett, put down that beer, it’s show time!”.
Plus things are looking good for whoever has Venezuela in the Where’s the Next War pool.
When has the DE delegation ever been awake? Like Ever?
