Trump to declare National Emergency to build wall

[Kit the Coyote]

It's a real headache for the republicans. First headache is that the wall is opposed by a large majority of Americans.

Second headache is that it's going to end up in the courts for a long time, so Americans won't forget about it soon.

Third headache is the thought of Elizabeth Warren able to bypass Congress by declaring emergencies.

And keep in mind, George W. Bush's border fence? It's still mostly unbuilt. Legal tangles with emminent domain, Treaties with Mexico on flooding and structures on the Rio Grande, and so on.

Should be interesting.

You can add the headache that this trend towards trying to bypass Congress started with President Obama and his 'pen and phone' comment. The Republicans were all over him for usurping power but that seems tame in comparison. This is a dangerous trend for American politics.

As the Republican is continuing the trend, I don't think it makes a difference.

republicans are inherently trustworthy

democrats are not

republicans are inherently trustworthy

Ask Ivanna, Marla, and Melania, whom a certain republican betrayed, one after the other.

Ask the many banks, contractors, and workers who will never get their money a certain republican owes them.

Ask the thousands people who trusted a certain republican enough to enroll in his fake "University" scam. Eventually, he gave in and paid back millions to the people he scammed.

He was just acting like one. Incidentally, today he just admitted that he didn't need to build the wall right now, which completely undercut his claim that it's an emergency.

Trump to declare National Emergency to build wall

A classic case of "do as I say, not as I do!"

That's what Ann Coulter said about him, in a white bread translation. But I think that "schmendrick" would be a better fit.

I find it is better and safer to view both as inherently untrustworthy.

Big difference

Obama was black

correction - half black

If your friends who campaigned for you think you're an "idiot," what are your enemies saying?

I support Trump's National Emergency declaration. Someone has to do the right thing

 

[TrumpTrainCA]

have we ever had a similar situation in which congress has been unwilling to do its job?

I don't think so, especially when people are literally being killed.

Guns are not violent. People are violent.

I have a constitutional right to own a gun.
Illegal Aliens have no right to sneak into the country.

There are billions of gun regulations on the books already... ...too many. Your post is false.

most of them are retarded and believe that by removing guns from the hands of law-abiding citizens, criminals will voluntarily comply as well
