Thank You for posting this. People will go crazy over this today because they don’t understand how this basically means nothing

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

The fact that Trump is still in office make all the ABC orgs look like a joke

They did all this fukked up shyt throughout American history but want to act right now

Best they can do is do interviews and say Lord, I hope there are tapes

 

[Cuban Pete]

America is one terrorist attack away from descending into full blown facism. Dont think for one second this piece of shyt wont try and use that to postpone elections on some "state of emergency" shyt. Hes already packing the courts and hes appointed 2 judges loyal to him in the supreme court and if ruth Ginsberg dies he will have a third judge. He could challenge the 22nd amendment which those judges will vote in favor of repealing and he will be president indefinitely.

Meanwhile centrists who've taken over the democratic party will Hmm and haw and talk about norms and respect and dignity of the office while this nikka is literally crushing democracy. Right in front of our eyes. Not to mention all the gerrymandering and voting stipulations going on which will allow republicans to continue to rig elections in their favor. Robert Mueller ain't gonna fix this, centrist Democrats obsessed with "playing fair" and being respectable ain't gonna fix this. People who say "when they go low, we stomp them out" will. People who say "let's extend the number of judges in the supreme court" "lets make voting day a national holiday" "let's do voter registration drives" "lets not take any money from lobbyists" will. Along with journalists that say "lets do accurate reporting and call shyt what it is. It ain't 'racially tinged' its racist. It ain't ,'tough talk' its insulting and immature language. It's not 'controversial' its 'inflammatory, false and agressive' its not 'false statement' it's a fukking lie.

America needs to grow up and get its head out its ass if it doesnt want to turn into fukking nazi Germany. I dont need to tell yall that Germany was actually considered really progressive in the early in 30s. If it can happen there, it can happen anywhere.

Repped for truth. Scary shyt going down

 

[FLYINHAWAIIAN]

Can anybody explain to us "non political" brehs how this effects black folk?


This the only state of emergency i worried about.

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

I know one thing, y'all talking about these reparations, whoever the hell we vote for better be fighting as hard as Trump. Dude said that shyt to get more votes and it's obvious he's desperate so can't nobody talk shyt about him. Whites ain't letting Trump slide on that wall, we better not let Democrats slide on those reparations

Niqqas take this shyt for a joke

This is some real live Nazi shyt

Literally

Just imagine Trump leaving the presidency voluntarily

FOR ANY REASON

Losing election, impeached, whatever. They gonna have to go in and get that motherfukcer. He's not gonna leave on his own

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

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

How you got land in Africa

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

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

That dude you're quoting ain't even American

they been saying this shyt at least since bush been in office and it ain't happened yet. trump being in office isn't the nazi shyt. they've been building a nazi-like apparatus for decades now and nobody has said too much about it.

 

[Calmye]

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

People really don't give a fukk about this. They just hate Trump. Obama put a National Emergency for the drug cartels in Mexico and no on cared.

That's the scary part. Once Trump is out of office no on will give a fukk about politics especially if it's a Democratic party president.

 

[Calmye]

I pray every night before I go to sleep for an anarchist society. We're one step closer.

Breh the left would be murdered enslaved and raped in an American anarchist society.

 

[bzb]

Nah.

We are already under several national emergencies, long before Trump came into office. The new president just decides to continue them. Clinton, Bush, and Obama all passed national emergencie, you just didn't hear about them

Thank You for posting this. People will go crazy over this today because they don’t understand how this basically means nothing

actually there's a big difference. in all those other cases there were "real" emergencies that had almost unanimous support by congress. they weren't made up emergencies where the facts show the issue isn't an emergency.

for example, the volume of illegal border crossings, etc have actually been going down for over a decade now. the only emergency is the mentally unstable old white racist guy who got his feelings hurt by fox news hosts and now he wants to suck up to them.

Can anybody explain to us "non political" brehs how this effects black folk?


This the only state of emergency i worried about.

we don't really know just yet. mainly because they will probably take money already allocated for other projects or national disasters to build the wall. if you live in an area that got hit by a natural disaster the money used to rebuild/repair your area might get snatched for the wall.

the other concern is dude could start declaring emergencies for damn near anything. will black people peacefully protesting be an emergency? will taking property in black areas for "gov purposes" be an emergency? no way to tell right now, but those are possible risks.
