Trump has officially declared a national emergency to build his wall.

And the stock market soars. Interesting.

 

[Scustin Bieburr]

Well said. These Republicans in office now, worship Trump like those Germans worshipped Hitler. He hijacked the Republican party and they all bow down to him. And those judges he is about to appoint, will doom American life as you know it. Mad Max with the Great Depression 2.0 = societal chaos.

Straight up. I know people say history repeats itself but you've got people who were actually alive during ww2 looking at the US like

At how eerily similar it is to Germany at the beginnings of facism. This presidency has exposed just how much of the government is made up of bullshyt gentleman's agreements instead of actual policy. It's also exposed some of the biggest weaknesses in general of the U.S. democratic system. If the Democrats lose or win and the president is another soulless centrist.....

Did you read that article?

Trumps wall isn't being built...that shyt will be fencing in places where there was shyt barriers before, and maintenance on preexisting shyt.

If Trump's Wall was actually being built, there would be no need for his National Emergency shyt...which will be for naught, because he does not even have support from his party for it (because it would allow the next Dem President to call ANYTHING a National Emergency) and the SC will not allow it.

There will be no wall...it's simply a play to have a talking point for his reelection campaign, because he has nothing to run on

He doesn't need approval to call for a national emergency. The supreme Court I feel will allow it. How are you so certain that this will result in the bill being passed but the wall not being built? Did you watch the news conference?

 

[Calmye]

nikka that measly ass 19 or so miles of wall is in construction. that aint shyt .

Yeah Breh I know that's what the national emergency is for

 

[newworldafro]

[GoFlipAPack]

Instead of declaring national emergency on climate change, the opiod epidemic, crumbling infrastructure, historic wealth inequality, he's doing it for a fukking wall.

yeah..... America's done

And we get to blame it on the white man

 

[GoFlipAPack]

What difference will this really make besides being a waste of money?

It wont make a difference. It's just going to be his monument. Something he can hang his hat on and say look what I accomplished.

 

[futureDevelopment]

So much shyt in this bill that is going to give the next president so much power. On top of Trump setting this call for a National Emergency this is low key paving the way for some fukked up shyt now that you got me thinking

Correct. Next “national emergency” could mean internment camps of some kind or another...

This fake “national emergency” stuff is dangerous...

 

[Cave Savage]

He doesn't need approval to call for a national emergency. The supreme Court I feel will allow it. How are you so certain that this will result in the bill being passed but the wall not being built? Did you watch the news conference?

The Supreme Court is 5 to 4 in Trump's fsvor already. 4/5 of them are definite yeses for Trump's agenda

 

[rantanamo]

Just wait till people see them tax returns. They will forget all about this

 

[IVS]

Great news. We need that wall.

There is no reason this post should be reported. If adults cannot take dissenting opinions on a message board that is a damn shame.

 

[jj23]

Hope he does it and he destroys American democracy forever

Been preparing for this country to burn for awhile now

Genesis chapter 15 verse 13-15, this shyt is biblical

I got land in Africa, connections in Canada, zero debt, and an emergency fund set up for my family to jet the fukk outta here if shyt goes south

An impending depression, deficits during a recovery, tariffs on our allies and on the worlds biggest manufacturing country, massive tax cuts to the rich and nothing for the middle class, housing and student loan bubbles about to burst, wages stagnant and prices of everything else increasing, impending war with Iran, no more democracy, a president compromised by Russia. If this entire trump presidency all you did was stunt on ig, thirst after ig thots, accrue debt, spend money on materialistic possessions, and continue to live life like shyt is sweet then you deserve every bit of suffering that's coming your way

Cant wait to see this shyt come to light, the shyt my great grandkids are going to read about in their history books are going to be

While I don't wish the destruction of America because a lot of good innocent people will go as well, this is one accurate as fukk statement.

 

[Raw Lyrics]

He knows it likely won't make it through the courts. He is just doing this as an out because he got fukked up on the shutdown, took a massive L there, now he's tucking his tail and putting out something that his base will like but they don't understand it's likely not feasible.

Close thread.

I thought won the ban, it got overturned at the Supreme Court? I know he lost at the 9th Circuit and in the Appeals Court, but didn't he won in the Supreme Court?

 

[Worthless Loser]

I thought won the ban, it got overturned at the Supreme Court? I know he lost at the 9th Circuit and in the Appeals Court, but didn't he won in the Supreme Court?

The travel ban won at the Supreme Court but it was a very watered down version from the original verison.
