Here's what McConnell said:

I've just had an opportunity to speak with President Trump, and he would, I would say to all my colleagues, has indicated that he's prepared to sign the bill. He will also be issuing a national emergency declaration at the same time. And I've indicated to him that I'm going to prepare -- I'm going to support the national emergency declaration. So for all of my colleagues, the President will sign the bill. We'll be voting on it shortly.

Benjy Sarlin:

It's a good thing for Republicans there's nothing going on right now that virtually every Democrat considers a national emergency and that the next Democratic president won't be able to get any GOP votes to deal with.

It's *especially* good news for Republicans that if there were such an emergency, it definitely wouldn't involve large scale funding for engineering projects. That would really be bad.

Finally, it's *really* good news for Republicans that the current Democratic presidential candidates are totally ignoring the most militant activists on this hypothetical emergency and not, say, rushing to align themselves with their demands.

Nate Silver:

Declaring a national emergency would be a *very* unpopular step.

It's unclear whether it would fade into the background as it got tied up in the courts, or would remain a salient issue for some time.

Да, и вот это точно -- Josh Dawsey:

There's quite a long ways between "Mexico will pay for the wall" to "I will declare a national emergency to fund the wall because the United States Congress won't give me the money I want".

Ann Coulter рвет и мечет. Я, правда, уже плохо понимаю почему.

NATIONAL EMERGENCY WON'T HELP. IT'S OVER IF HE SIGNS THIS BILL!

This spending bill will ensure that not a single mile of fence will be built. (Any sort of "wall" is directly prohibited.)

To declare a national emergency, Trump will now have to argue that a bill HE SIGNED was unconstitutional.

Ask your new AG if this is a good idea.

There's no coming back from this. No "emergency" or presidential powers will allow him to build the wall, ever, after he signs this bill. Trump has just agreed to fully open borders.

Trump is the American Merkel. But who cares about Germany? Trump just destroyed the U.S.A.

И, как обычно, there is a tweet.

Repubs must not allow Pres Obama to subvert the Constitution of the US for his own benefit & because he is unable to negotiate w/ Congress.

Вы решили побороться за звание самого тупого трамписта?

a petty officer on a merchant ship or a warrant officer on a warship

Гарино служил на авианосце.

расистский аппартеид

В аризонской пустыне не было рабовладельческих плантаций. Первых афроамериканцев там увидели в качестве солдат (так называемых Buffalo Soldiers).

The African American population, centered on the stationing of Buffalo Soldiers such as the 25th Infantry in Nogales, was a significant factor in the community, though they often faced racial discrimination in the binational border community in addition to racial segregation at the elementary-school level in Nogales's Grand Avenue/Frank Reed School (a school reserved for Black children). The redeployment of the Buffalo Soldiers to other areas and the closure of Camp Little in 1933 initiated the decline of the African American community in Nogales.

Повар, который готовит в школьной столовой, в тюрьме, на пассажирском лайнере, на авианосце - повар.
"на авианосце" - не делает повара солдатом или героем.
Помощник боцмана - драит палубу и чистит якорь напильником.
Мойка полов в школьной столовой, в тюрьме, на пассажирском лайнере, на авианосце - одно и тоже занятие.
Не надо janitorial сервисом обесценивать звание ветерана.
Трамп - верховный главнокомандующий и тоже ветеран. Даже в Ирак летал, в отличие от помощника боцмана, который на вьентамскую землю ногой не ступал.

Пусть себе получает VA бенефиты и радуется как дешево отделался от войны, но слушать мы его не будем.


> В аризонской пустыне не было рабовладельческих плантаций

Были ли рабовладельческие плантации в Chicago, IL ? Newark, NJ ?
Кто не голосует за Кори Букера в 2020 - тот расистское г-word.

Не надо janitorial сервисом обесценивать звание ветерана

Артуро Гарино закончил службу с почетом в звании старшины 2го класса.

Не надо пытаться обесценивать звание ветерана тупым враньём, расистское вы говно.

Трамп - верховный главнокомандующий и тоже ветеран.

Трамп - не ветеран, а трусливый подонок. От армии, как и от банкротств, его отмазывал богатый папенька.

In the fall of 1968, Donald J. Trump received a timely diagnosis of bone spurs in his heels that led to his medical exemption from the military during Vietnam.
For 50 years, the details of how the exemption came about, and who made the diagnosis, have remained a mystery, with Mr. Trump himself saying during the presidential campaign that he could not recall who had signed off on the medical documentation.
Now a possible explanation has emerged about the documentation. It involves a foot doctor in Queens who rented his office from Mr. Trump’s father, Fred C. Trump, and a suggestion that the diagnosis was granted as a courtesy to the elder Mr. Trump.

В поисках лучшей жизни бывшие рабы и их потомки переезжали с Юга в крупные города индустриального Севера, а не в маленькие посёлки аризонской глуши. Если бы вы не были невежественным идиотом, может быть, и не стали бы расистским говном.

Они все по умолчанию получают Honorable Discharge

To receive a General Discharge from the military there has to be some form of nonjudicial punishment to correct unacceptable military behavior or failure to meet military standards. The discharging officer must give the reason for the discharge in writing, and the military member must sign paperwork stating they understand the reason for their discharge. Veterans may not be eligible for certain veterans benefits under a General Discharge, including the GI Bill.
