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.

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.
