Democrats were off for it when Obama was trying to build a wall. Now that President Trump is trying to do it the Democrats have done a 180 and are complete hypocrites. Illegal aliens cost this country billions of dollars
Soo it’s ok for Obama to veto a lot, but this isn’t right? Tammy DuckWorth is a criminal idk how she got elected, my state is in hell already and with her we are even more in hell
If Sen Duckworth shuts down Trumps emergency declaration funding for the border wall…she will have guaranteed Trump the presidency in 2020
The power of the purse is held by congress — again CONGRESS. Congress has passed a spending bill that funded border security with BILLIONS of dollars based on expert testimony & hard data. The POTUS has absolutely no right to just take my tax dollars and then spend them to keep a campaign promise . Again, boarder security HAS BEEN FUNDED — the President does not have the power to take more tax money because he feels like it.
McConnell should be the one that outrages people. He has stabbed American Democracy in the BACK over, and over, and over again! He brags about his most important achievements — obstructing Obama — not allowing QUALIFIED Supreme Court judges — blocking ANY accountability of Trump. He is the REAL problem. Trump is just a useful idiot — a clown that is shiny & stupid enough to entertain the sheep & cult followers.
Tammy needs to figure out how to make Illinois great again. She is not my voice. She is glued to her fellow socialist come what may no matter how destructive they are.
This is too much winning
This is what happens when you give too much power to the previous president.
There's a rumor that Mitch McConnell is thinking about challenging Donald Trump. That would be very funny.
3:20 Yes, congress needs to limit the president's power to declare a national emergency! An emergency needs to be something that is so sudden & extreme — congress does not have time to meet and vote on it. If congress has voted on something, then it is NOT an emergency!
Democrats measure success by how many people go on welfare, food stamps and unemployment insurance. Republicans measure success by how many people go off welfare, food stamps and unemployment insurance.
It don’t matter what Trump does Democrats will have a problem with that because that’s how much they hate trump they don’t want him to succeed at anything
When Trump shits on the constitution, McConnell asks if he might be allowed to wipe  💩
Evil pearson the two on tv
Obama declared 16….
Trump's emergency declaration is farcical. Any Emergency , is his mental instability.
He wants to scrap the constitution!
Trump is Un American.
Where the hell were you when Obama was in office!?!?!?!
