I believe that also have to be renewed annually by Congress. He's showing he will press any button for any loophole he can find, but that doesn't mean he'll actually reach dictator status without some help. If Trump does Martial Law and Turtle says its good for the GOP in ballot box, then we can talk dictatorship, stuff like that. And yes, i do believe he will try that. Could it be Trump is just looking for an "out" with this situation where he doesn't look like a **** to his base and declaring it a national emergency and having the court strike it down allows him to say "I did all I could, blame the Dems and the so-called judges for no wall funding" and then re-open the Government. It's pretty clear Trump and his administration didn't know who all was impacted by this shutdown (Coast Guard, TSA, FDA, IRS, etc) and if they did wouldn't have taken it here. At least that's how I see it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twa Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 1 hour ago, PleaseBlitz said: I sorta kinda hope Trump declares a national emergency about a made-up crisis to get $5 billion for a small section of border wall outside of normal Congressional appropriations. Then the next Dem President can declare a national emergency about climate change and get $100 billion without Republican support. I would call the bill the Future Urgent Climate Ultimatum Act, or FUC U for short. That would be fun, what already appropriated funding would they use?

killerbee99 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 DoD funds dummy...... If its infringing our National security might as well use thier funds as a piggy bank since republicans are ok with this **** and no one is punishing them..... **** is gonna get real if I was a Democrat president.... Since people will still vote this moron as president again.... All bets are off..... **** decency and norms since republicans dont give 2 ****s about those things.... Done trying to be nice guys and step on mother****ers throats when you get the upper hand like the GOP constantly do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole thing is dumb and he created it. I think he didn't know what this shutdown for this long entailed, or he ignored what people were telling him it entailed. That's not hard to believe. But I also believe Graham, McConnell, whoever in Senate GOP are telling him behind closed doors that he needs to end it and he's looking for a exit strategy where he doesn't look like he's just caving to Pelosi. Court strikes it down, he opens the Government and spins it like he was the bigger person and got 800K Americans their paychecks back like he's Trumpy Claus.

PleaseBlitz Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) So, wouldn't it be fun if 3/4 of a million Trump protesters had the time to organize a march on Washington next weekend? Oh, wait, that is happening. https://www.womensmarch.com/2019/ 👊 Edited January 10, 2019 by PleaseBlitz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 So at point does actually call the national emergency? Think we go past the 21 day record over the weekend, right? So once 1/18 passes? I know judiciary branch hq runs out of money then and will close EOB on 1/18, is there a list of what else is going to start shutting down when?

Fergasun Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 Grahams being dumb... the obvious compromise is the numbers I floated last night ($2.5B to $4.0B) with no wall for borser security measures. Dems and Repubs decide how to allocate their priorities over the $1.3B level Trumps not doing Comprehensive Immigration Reform -- again that was obvious and when he pulled out of the deal last year, welp no one is going to trust your word. Congress is going to have to do it themselves WITHOUT TRUMP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone, anyone, has to figure out a way to come to a compromise (which will not involve wall funding) in a way that Trump can claim is a win or, at least, not a loss. And also doesn't involve most Republican congresspeople going against Trump. I have no idea what that solution is right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySkinsFan Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) If Trump declares a national emergency of his own making, two things must happen. 1. Some one or group of someones file a Federal lawsuit. 2. The House immediately hold impeachment hearings leading to his impeachment. Enough of his BS trying to turn our country into a dictatorship. It must be dealt with swiftly. Edited January 10, 2019 by LadySkinsFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
