National emergency? Sniff, sniff — is that smoke I smell coming from the Reichstag?
Dictators trying to subvert supposedly democratic systems always need to FIBricate a phony, made up scam “emergency” as their pretense for assuming tyrannical emergency powers.
And in reality, there is no emergency. Illegal border crossings have declined steadily every year for the last ten years, so that they are now at the lowest point in the last TWENTY YEARS. If it was such an emergency, why didn’t Trump, McConnell and Ryan do something over the last two years when they held control of all branches of government?
In case you like knowing this sort of stuff, this cartoon was projected onto the side of the San Francisco Federal Building during Trump’s Oval Office address.
Nailed it AGAIN, Clay! Absolutely accurate. And isn’t it odd that there was NO “Emergency” at the border from Feb. 2017 until Dec. 2018. BUT, just as soon as the Democrats take the House, ALL HELL HAS BROKEN OUT IN TEXAS AND ALONG THE ENTIRE BORDER!!! Hummm…I wonder if there could be a connection…
In NC, if the budget doesn’t get approval, it defaults back to the existing budget. How is it that one person can bring the federal government to a standstill, require employees to work WITHOUT PAY, and not be overridden by Congress?!How much longer before unpaid and furloughed employees leave their posts to take positions that actually pay them?!
Listen carefully to what Trump said. He didn’t say he was declaring a national emergency because of the situation at the border. He said he was declaring a national emergency because Congress wouldn’t give him what he wanted. Is that an emergency now?
I wonder if it has occured to any of the mental defectives in the White House that IF Donnie John is allowed to declare his “National Emergency” over the Southern Border, then the next Democratic President could declare a “National Emergency” over gun deaths!
I actually think that’s a fair trade – Donnie John gets his wall and, eventually, we progressives get a national ban on guns. Works for me!
Go ahead and establish the precedent, Donnie John! Please.
However I see the wall as just a means of pushing his problems off the news wheel since 3 times when the Republicans owned the govt, he had 3 chances for wall funding, he vetoed them all.

Remember when he had them send all of us a text emergency test?
Someone said, “I don’t want trump to text me there’s an emergency; I want Mueller to text me that the emergency is over.”

The whole thing is a fraud and everyone knows it.

And of course Jackson hanging on the wall. Just another racist under-handed dealer.

Been saying that ever since the talk of national emergency has come up. Little Donny John is the emergency.
