Trump to declare national emergency

[easyt65]

'President Trump said Friday he is declaring a national emergency on the southern border, tapping into executive powers in a bid to divert billions toward construction of a wall even as he plans to sign a funding package that includes just $1.4 billion for border security.'

"We’re talking about an invasion of our country,"

"We will have a national emergency, and we will then be sued," Trump said, adding that the federal appeals courts could well rule against his administration. "Then we’ll end up in the Supreme Court, and hopefully we’ll get a fair shake, and we’ll win at the Supreme Court

“We’re going to confront the national security crisis on our southern border … one way or the other, we have to do it,” Trump said in the Rose Garden."



Democrats do not have a legal leg to stand on.

The Constitutional Power for the President to do this was given to him by Congress through law.

Presidents of both parties have declared National Emergencies approx. 59 times since it was 1st used by President Jimmy Carter.
Approx 32 of those National Emergencies remain in effect.



Not only does the President continue to fight for this nation's national sovereignty, border security, safety for citizens, and for enforcement of existing US law, he continues to put on display the despicable, brazen partisan opposition to all of that for the benefit of the Democratic Party in hopes of harming the President's Re-election chances in 2020.



After rushing to embrace AOC's insane 'Green New Deal' expected to cost as much if not more that $100 TRILLION in new debt, after California and Gov Newsom refuses to give tax payers back $3.1 Billion after scrapping their high speed rail project which that money was for, the Democrats' opposition to $5 billion for securing our southern border makes it obviously clear it has nothing to do with the money.

April 18, 2015: “Whether it’s Benghazi, whether it’s IRS, whether it’s any of the many things that you see that are going wrong with our country. The executive orders are an outrage. We have a president that can’t lead. He said the hell with it. I’m not going to do this anymore. I want to rest and I want to do other things, including going out to play golf. . . . But he signs executive orders because he’s given up. He can’t convince anybody to do anything, so he’s given up, and he signs on immigration and on other things.”

Aug. 25, 2016: “He signs his executive orders all over the place, because he doesn’t want to meet with people and try and convince them to do what the right thing to do is. No, he’s not playing by the rules. No, I do play by the rules. I will play by the rules, too.”

Jan. 14, 2016: “He doesn’t want to get people together, the old-fashioned way, where you get Congress. You get the Congress, you get the Senate, you get together, you do legislation. He just writes out an executive order. Not supposed to happen that way.”

Sept. 24, 2015:

JOE SCARBOROUGH: Are you going to be willing when your law that you pass through Congress rests on a congressman from Boise, Idaho, who you’re going to have to fly out and sit in his house and hang out with him and beg him and give him whatever he wants in the appropriation bill to get his vote? I mean, are you going to be willing to do that sort of, sort of slogging?

TRUMP: Well, I am. And, you know, Obama has not been willing to do that, Joe. That’s why he signs executive orders all the time.

Here comes that wall! Hah!

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Look, like it or not the POTUS gets blamed for the spending, since he signs the bills. I am pretty sure I will not find a single post from you claiming the spending during his years was not Obama's fault

Quit being a partisan sheep defending you man to the death, is is not a god, he is just a dude.

I'm fully aware of that. He's a dude that doing/trying to do good for the country. Fucking Obama came up with Solyndra, Cash 4 Clunkers, and big bank bailout. I gave Obama a chance for one year and then realized he was fucked up.

If nothing else, Trump's doing the best out of any president in my lifetime.

My 80-ish year old relative says the same thing, so go fuck yourself, you leftist shill.

He is doing better than the last two, I will give him that much.

and you are far more left than me, so you should keep your stupid name calling to yourself.

remember, Trump is a man, not a god.

Remember: Everybody sees through your bullshit. If they happen to not? I will surely gaslight it. I'm here to help.

[Warning: Fake yet true quote ahead}

Golfing Gator: "Oh, I'm more right than you, but parrot every leftist talking point of the day every day."

Get fucking real, you putz.

I do nto parrrot any fucking thing you lying piece of shit.

you parrot talking points about spending cuts and do not offer a single dollar figure.

I say spending is going up and give the actual amount spent and the budget for this year and you call that talking points.

Why do you hate facts? Why are you opposed to speaking the truth instead of partisan dribble that comes out of your head all the time?

Have you ever given even one single fact or figure to back up your talking points?

fuck off and die you piece of shit.

Thanks for the selfie, I was wondering what you looked like. Now we all know.

Nov. 11, 2015: “But the whole concept of executive order — it’s not the way the country is supposed to be run. He’s supposed to go through Congress and make a deal and go and talk to people and get the guys in there and, you know, whether you’re Republican or Democrat, is supposed to all get together. He’s supposed to make a deal, but he couldn’t make a deal because it’s not his thing.”

May 18, 2016: “But I want somebody that can deal with Congress, can deal with the Senate, can deal with our Congress people so that we can get something passed. You know, Obama signs his executive orders all day long because he can’t get along with anybody. It’s not the way it’s supposed to work.”

National emergency declared...vacation for the POTUS started...one hell of an emergency!

Those who support Trump and his unique presidency are feckless, and will never admit they are supporting a megalomaniac.

For the edification, if not an awakening to those MAGA hat wearers:

Feckless: lacking initiative or strength of character; irresponsible.

Megalomania: obsession with the exercise of power, especially in the domination of others.

McConnell and the Senate Majority are Feckless; Trump is a megalomaniac.

Feckless? Having an unchecked border and allowing millions to enter illegally sounds pretty feckless...dumbass.

"an unchecked border", that statement goes well beyond reality. I suppose you believe everything Trump states and tweets, and you wear the MAGA hat proudly. Keep on going on building sand castles in the sky.

Sure, and you know all about reality. Get back in your fricken tent, and watch where you step.

A couple of pictures prove you are a damn liar and/or out of touch with reality!

Seriously!? You can't really be that stupid.

Either stupid and unhinged. Libtards see imaginary "Russians" everywhere they look, yet they don't believe that tens of thousands of criminal illegals rushing the border is a "crisis."

Anyone who watched Trump's rose garden behavior will have trouble ruling out mania and narcissism as the dominate take away of his remarks. Mania and megalomania is on full display for active listeners.

 

[bendog]

trump has proven he is incapable of working within our Constitutional system. His attempt at an unpresedented power grab will lose a large percentage of independent voters.

More importantly for the GOP....McConnell's cave on supporting a National Emergency will haunt the Repubs for years to come. This is an unparalleled effort by the Executive Branch that.....left unchallenged...will set a precedent for future Presidents....

The Courts will rule against trump and he probably knows it. He is counting on a short term win that will assure him of a long term loss....

I doubt anyone who was predisposed to vote for Trump in 16 will change their mind about the Power Grab Emergency. There may be people who chose to not vote, but I think that was a "Hillary effect" rather than a "pro Trump" effect.

Trump's not stupid. He knows he won because his minority pool of voters was much more motivated than those voting for others, or not voting.

Trump's not stupid? True, he's not very bright and seems unable to learn from experience.

Well he got elected with a minority of votes. I mean so did W, but he did have the Supreme Court help him (actually his little brother in Fla and the legislature would have given him the Florida electoral votes anyway)

Characteristics common to all aspiring dictators. Not necessarily evidencing stupidity though.

Yet the constitution allows the president to call for a national emergency, go figure. Guess that happens when you have a congress incapable of working...at all.

Congress is working. It doesn't agree with the President, and that IS considered "working."

If Congress worked, the border would have been secure in 1990. Congress doesn't work, what they do is lie, take bribes, and vote for the people that bribe them instead of their constituents.

Here, in the well of the Senate, (!!!) Sen. Ted Cruz exposes them ALL.

The media kept all of this from being well known to all.

So, the way the national emergency funding breaks down will give Trump about 4.5 billion unquestioned, and about 3.5 from military assets that will be challenged.

4.5 ain't bad right off the bat.

Trump wins.

Has Pelosi stopped screaming yet?

What a win...turn down 24 billion and cheer for 4.5!

What else was in that bill?

 

[easyt65]

But no talk about the bad spending bill loaded with illegal immigration expansion and wall prevention? I'm confrused?

I totally agree 100% on this one. THIS needs more attention!

He's not stupid, he's simply not very bright. He can't learn from experience, and he tries to re-write history, when the listeners like us lived that history as current events.

"F" Your final grade in Eng. 101. Writing an expository rebuttal to this title:

"Having an unchecked border and allowing millions to enter illegally sounds pretty feckless."

Grow up, put on big boy pants and admit the borders are not unchecked.

Stupid enemies of America make stupid arguments against America because they are stupid.

So impeach him then. Maybe make up a story about some Russians or something. Yeah, that'll do it.
