President Donald Trump vetoed a bill designed to block his emergency declaration at the Southern Border on Friday, in a ceremony at the White House.

“Today, I am vetoing this resolution,” Trump said. “Congress has the freedom to pass this resolution and I have the duty to veto it. And I’m very proud to veto it.”

    We catch them. We flay them.

    Eighth amendment precludes us from inflicting cruel and unusual punishments, such as flaying, for minor crimes like illegal immigration.

    We actually needed a world war against Germany to make speaking German be fully unacceptable in public.

    It never was a problem, much less one requiring a world war.

    I don't want to wait 2 centuries to get my country unified again. I won't live that long. I'd suffer all my life, and my great-grandchildren would too.

    When was the last time it was "unified" in the way you claim? I think ignorance of history is biting you here.
