What can the House do to push back BIG on orange maggot's fake emergency to build a wall?

Now we hear tRump believes he can fabricate a national emergency to build his dumbass wall. While I'd like to believe this is total BS, I can imagine his criminal regime would totally ignore the will of a vast majority of Americans, and do it anyway.

Now that we have the power over appropriations in Congress, what do you suggest Nancy & Co. do to threaten back in a big way?

If you attempt to create a fake emergency and skip over Congress to build a wall Americans are opposed to, this is how we will fuck you up!

...he can’t order that extra funding be appropriated to pay for it. That would have to come from Congress via normal procedures and, with Democrats now controlling the House, that simply isn’t happening. His only other option would be to order the DoD to make massive cuts to the Defense budget to get him the extra funds, which would kill him with his own base.

This is all just typical Trumpian bluster designed to intimidate his opponent to agree to his “deal.” It won’t work this time.

This latest clusterfuck has garnished the usual media attention, and set off the panic button in some quarters.

Thinking as you suggested, it's all talk.
