Discussion: McConnell: Trump Will Sign Border Deal As He Declares Emergency For Wall

Big Problem: No Communists anymore.

Agreed. Especially when it comes to saving lives, as in the issues of gun control, and health care. If the use of a NE by the president stands, there will be a moral imperative to use the same tools to save lives with Democratic NE’s in the future.

Personally I don’t like what it would mean for our democracy and separation of powers. But once the damage has been done, it won’t be easy to put that genie back in the bottle.

You mean “yuge.”

Meanwhile … “Unpopular president takes an unpopular step to ineffectively effect an unpopular policy”

Please proceed, Donald.

I really don’t like it either - it’s scary.

It’s all beer and skittles when we are talking shit we want but we are real apt to get Presidents who don’t want the same things eventually and that kind of power in the Executive is a big mistake.

In the Legislative it actually goes down ok for me. I just don’t like the Executive to be able to operate independently of Congress and they all struggle to find a way to do that.

I would expect trump’s polls to tank should he declare an emergency and then raid disaster funds.

Well, this is the act of a dictator, not a president.

It should be immediately and vigorously challenged in the federal courts.

Not to hear the Trumpers. Democrat are Communist because we “want” big government.

I heard it.

I always learn something about art, jewelry, furniture, etc. and also the location and of course the occasional drama is fun. Some things in my areas of interest and expertise, some (guns and guitars) not so much but you never know. Anyway if anyone is interested in this sort of thing and hasn’t watched it it’s there every week for free.

Maybe it’s a jihadist finch!

And not knowing how to do something is precisely what their supporters wanted.

They didn’t want an insider that knew how anything worked. They wanted an outsider who would blow things up and burn things down. They’ve gotten exactly what they asked for and, for the moment, exactly what they got. What one asks for and what one gets, most times, ends up being two different things.

This is what I was talking about when I said there are no more Communists. There is nobody to fill the role they filled in Germany. There is also nobody to carry out this nefarious plot because there is nobody who can think it up - even though all they’d have to do is copy. They’d fuck up a two car funeral and their leader is a thorough coward.

You never know when that caravan of Central Americans might have some Middle Eastern Arabic or Persian speaking Muslim terrorists hiding in there that no one noticed in thousands of miles of walking. Remember also that even though the naive deep state “experts” claim that 99% of illegal drugs come through border entry points or maybe by air or sea, that’s just because they haven’t found all the much more drugs coming across elsewhere that no one ever never noticed but are definitely a thing.

I thought I read that in this particular procedure, the president cannot veto the joint resolution, should it pass.

Otherwise it would have no use or meaning.

And aren’t a lot of those people over staying their visas Canadian?

If walls work against visa overstays with Mexicans, it must work with Canadians too.

Just thought I’d let folks know that the Caravan Restaurant here in Tucson is not full of Jihadists.

You would never guess if you read comments at Yahoo or The Hill or god forbid actual wingnut sites.
