All Things Trump: Is it over yet?

Okay, anybody has any insight on the ann coulte twitter account being hacked, there's no way this person would have said the things I see put in her mouth.

So you have no idea what the national emergency is, but you know you're happy to support it anyway?

I don't support it any less than I supported the unknown number of national emergencies which have been enacted, signed and celebrated in the last 20 years.

The point I want to make, is that it is NOTHING going on, being performed like an episode of a reality show, as if trying to make things sound more important than they are.

Well, you were talking to L'Emmy about this national emergency, the one you seem to have absolutely no clue about why or what it is, and you definitely said, "It IS necessary". So if you support it no less that you've supported "the unknown number" of previous national emergencies then I guess you supported all of them equally too - even though they were nothing out of the ordinary?

Remind me again - what's this particular and unremarkable emergency about?

I've just read a sensationalistic headline on the news bit of my ISP's portal : Did someone try to oust trump?

I haven't read the article, because I'm just too pooped to do so tonight, but I found the headline amusing enough to mention here.

Is Putin getting fed up with him?

Like trying to make illegal immigrant numbers seem higher than it is?

Like Trump claiming fewer national emergencies than any of his predecessors going back to...hell, I can't even remember.

But it's GREAT that he hasn't done it as often. Must mean he is a real deal-maker.

Undocumented immigrants do not constitute a national emergency, especially not when the flow is one quarter the size it was in 2000.

Not only is it not a national emergency, but Trump himself has said there's no need for declaring one.

Yebbut Obama called a national emergency once.

Menopause. She’ll be normal in a week.

Yeah, but the richest nation in history, with most powerful military force the world has ever seen, is under threat from a handful of penniless Guatemalans.

The.... ...hor-ror...

Yebbut Obama called a national emergency once.

12 times, to be precise, according to an AP fact check.

Obama’s emergency declarations were aimed at blocking access to property of “certain persons” involved in crises abroad — Ukraine, Burundi, Venezuela, Central African Republic, South Sudan, Yemen, and Libya, among other countries. He also used the declarations to punish the Russian government and transnational organizations.

His only declaration not centered on foreign interests came in 2009, when he declared a national emergency to deal with the H1N1 flu pandemic.

[JimC]

What he didn't do is declare one just because congress refused to pass one of his programs...

[Brian Peacock]

Certainly not. coz that would be, like, a head of state granting themselves powers to sidestep the legislature and imposed their will directly on the nation as if they were a tin-pot dictator.

Yabbut "they" send their rapists, drug dealers and gang members. Trump says so, and he is the authoritative voice on everything. Which is why Tim pool's vlog is such good analysis; he quotes from Trump's font of knowledge all the time.

Yeah, I misread that. You said, "It IS unnecessary". So I guess we both agree for a change - there is no national emergency despite what Trump says. But just because this national emergency isn't an emergency doesn't mean all the other were fake too does it?
