āIāve actually always gotten along with her, but now I donāt think I will any more. ā¦
Since heās never had a relationship with a woman that wasnāt maternal or sexual, he really has no idea how to interact with a woman on a serious level. She must frustrate him no end.
Now heā maneuvering to blame Pelosi for his declaring an emergency. He sees no other option since he doesnāt really understand anything except getting his own way. No plan, no ability to negotiate, no understanding of the way government (or business) works.
Abuse is the only tool he has.
āIāve actually always gotten along with her, but now I donāt think I will any more. ā¦ I think sheās doing a tremendous disservice to the country. If she doesnāt approve the wall, the rest of itās just a waste of money and time and energy because itās desperately needed.ā
āIāve set the table. Iāve set the stage for doing what Iām going to do,ā
Dinner theater?
Another impeachable offense in the making. How many will it take for the Speaker to pull the trigger on articles? How many will it take for Republican Senators to begin whispering rumors that enough is enough?
Trump could order a nuke strike on Seattle and there wouldnāt be 67 Senators voting to convict.
āContinueā to build the wall? Is that to say that heās already begun it, without authorisation or funding from Congress? Interesting!
Has to stroke the base. Trump is mere weeks away from completing a high speed light rail commuter train that runs from New York City to Boston. Really. Ask him. Itās almost done.
What venue, the Orville Redenbacher Performing DarkArts Center?
Two thoughts-
- This is going like one of his rancid business dealsā¦ and he is now trying to thrash around through some special āreorganizationā where by he can operate under different rules.
- He still seeks dictatorial control ā¦ but circumstances are piling up against him ā¦ and the sand is roaring through the hour glassā¦ he is near frantic and is likely to take aggressive over-reach actions to attain his goalsā¦
Well weāve seen him sing, and weāve seen him not sing, but the question remains can he dance?
This is the easiest and most childish option. Thatās really all you need to know.
If he gets away with the declaration of a non-emergency emergency there isnāt much standing in the way of declaring himself dictator for life.
Even if he doesnāt at some point some future President will. This is getting close to Constitutional crisis territory.
He may be close to being able to make sweeping executive actions - draconian in nature - and having a Supreme Court that will sit on its hands and a Senate that will express āconcernsā but will not find 67 voices of opposition.
But it goes straight to the courts where its obvious illegitimacy will be noted with asperity straight up the line. And we just had a wave election explicitly meant by the voters to rein him in. There are currently a number of emergency declarations in effect. Itās not tantamount to assuming dictatorial powers. He doesnāt have the political capital for anything of the sort. Look at the trend lineāhe keeps falling on his face. This is a declaration of political impotence, not an ascension to the throne.
ā¦And weāre still waiting for McTurtle to do anything but ātsk-tsk-tskā about it before doing nothing.
Thatās why weāre all a bit scared.
This incrementalism is exactly how Turkey ended up where it has.
āGimme my wall!ā
āNo mr president, but weāre willing to work with you to improve border securityā
āGimme my wall!ā
āNo mr president, but weāre willing to increase funding for border security.ā
āGimme my wall! Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!ā
āNo mr president, a wall would be a useless waste of money.ā
āTalks with Democrats over wall funding are a āwaste of time.āā
If you want to be scared about Trump taking over, feel free, but thatās not a rational fear at this point in my opinion. The fact is that when you look at both the similarities and the differences, the United States of America is not really in the situation of either Germany in the early '30s or Turkey today. McConnell is not a democrat no matter what the case of the āDā but Iād hesitate to say heās setting Trump up as a dictator. He took the shutdown option and locked it in the gun case in the basement. There was a meeting before it ended where they were screaming at him, his own people, and he said back āDo you think Iām enjoying this?ā His goal, which heās striving for by the exclusively foul means available to him, is to help the Republican party and the so-called āconservativeā movement survive this ongoing disaster. Heās not going to crown Trump. You notice sanctions on Russia go sailing swanlike through the Senate? Heās trying to save his neck, probably, and the party. He couldnāt give a damn about Trump. He knows what Trump is. This is all my opinion of course but itās based on point-to-able facts.
President Trump,
Just because you overhear your staff say that getting the wall built is an emergency, doesnāt mean they were talking about National Security.
They were talking about getting you to STFU already.
Derispaka. Notice the Senate didnāt block the lifting of said sanctions.
Up until the Syria capitulation, I would have agreed with you. But when he canāt be controlled or reined in at all, and the only āleverā people have is to resign, thus allowing him to put more favorable people around him and increasing his control, weāre in a very scary situation.
