Please look at the past emergencies declared by presidents. I didn't see anything that wasn't political since the two right after 9/11....
Why don't you show us your work then so we can all see your calculations and the source of your numbers.
What was escalated was by the demoncats. Using the national intelligence system to spy on a presidential candidate. Plotting to use the FBI to remove him from office, attacking his family and associates. The difference is throughout it all he has not surrendered to them unlike past Republicans. The reason he has to do it this way is the Democrats are actively supporting those breaking the laws who are not citizens at the expense of citizens. Emergency for sure.
That would be a good example if it were not for DACA. Which was explicitly voted down by Congress yet Obama implemented it and the courts force its continuation. Further where did the money to Iran come from? I think the precedent was set last term.
I think it’s hilarious when the more liberal bunch warns “just wait- when our person gets in they’re going to do the same thing Trump does and IT’S ALL HIS FAULT!!!” They are gonna do whatever they want no matter what this guy does, so who cares what precedent is set. I have a feeling that liberals wouldn’t like the end result if they always got their way- and they know it.
None. Please point out which ones were actual military emergency actions or directly related to the safety of US citizens. I'm including Trumps first two as well. I'll give Obama a slight pass on the swine flu but not sure that was truly necessary as much as political.
Judges won't stop it when it gets to the supremes. His choice to use it for this isn't any more ridiculous than all the other sanction shit they don't run through congress.
How bout this one? April 1, 2015 (still in effect): Blocking the Property of Certain Persons Engaging in Significant Malicious Cyber-Enabled Activities, continued in March 2018.
Let the open border liberal whacko states file. The reality is, Trump needs no emergency declaration for the following funds: $1.37 Billion from Congress $601 Million treasury fund $2.2 Billion DOD drug intervention fund So $4 Billion he already has access to, which is more than half of what is needed. The wall is going to get built. The only question remaining is just how anti-American are the liberal Dems going to behave during the process. #MAGA #Winning #TrumpIsYourDaddy
Well, to be fair, both Ornstein and I. Don't know who else is on your team, but possibly you are correct with the impending process by which the answer is revealed. Or you can just keep on thinking you're correct and not bother with what it means to the people who will dictate its outcome. (I bet that really really, sharp guy Garth is with you, so you do have that. And lots of memes. Always lots of memes. )
