There is no emergency, there is no crisis. Just an obnoxious president that has lied one too many times and now its finally starting to catch up with him.

So, she's now on a ventilator despite the fact that she was up and walking and left her home on Wednesday to go outside?

Odd.

I see that Pat Buchanan is as senile as Trump is if he thinks he's going to be re-elected in a 49 state landslide.



Trump is in office only because of the Electoral college.
Lightning isn't going to strike twice for him.

The money can come out of liberal states like California, New York, and New Jersey and also from other areas like foreign aid to Mexico, Planned Parenthood etc. As long as Trump remembers who his base is.

The federal government has a responsibility to provide flood protection in Louisiana and to construct these new hurricane protection projects and to maintain the levees.

I shudder to think, on so many levels, that you are a citizen of America.

This will be the political miscalculation of a generation.
Trump declares a state of emergency to get funding for the wall, the government that is closed, hopefully reopens, the democrats take him to court over the appropriation of funds, Trump loses in court, he goes on the warpath and demands funding in next year's budget and we are right back to square one and where we are today with another shutdown on October 1st, 2019. And around and around we go, endless cycle.

What makes you think the Supreme Court is not going to uphold securing the U.S. border from illegal entry?

Sorry, but the Democrats are simply on the wrong side of history on this one.

So, what national emergency?

Exactly. And you can bet this would be used against him in court if he chooses to declare the emergency. The man is a moron to the 10th degree. Why doesn't he learn that what he says can come back to haunt you.

I guess we'll have to wait and see what they rule, but do you agree if they shoot it down, Trump will try to get the funding in the next budget and just shut the government down come the fall.
