See, this is what destroys this forum. When you have nothing of substance to say, you just throw empty and nasty rhetoric against the wall. That's not debate. That's "Trump trash". If you don't have an A game, you bring your F game. Try growing up and having an actual conversation for a change.

A simple majority would have gotten him all the budget money he wanted during those two years..

Even today, he said, he didn't need to do this, but he just wants it done quicker.

To me, he's Just trying to gin up his base. This all leads me to believe that there isn't an emergency. Well, that and all the reports from places like El Paso where the officials think Trump is Nuts...

Today, during his "Open Mouth, Insert Foot" rose garden speech, he spoke of people that were killed but he never once mentioned all the school shootings....Not one damn word about that.

He said, he's going to build a wall and have Mexico pay for it.. He lied, Now he wants me to pay for it.


So for me, this is more about politics than it is about any emergency.

He's lying.... his staff is lying.... Republicans that support this are lying...

And what this idiot did was open up Pandoras Box...

If Biden wins (if he even runs) in 2020, he's not the type that will do this, but think down the road, What if AOC gets to the White House?

I see a Gun Emergency and the way she sees it, she'll go for the guns... All of them.

I see a Climate Change Emergency

See what I'm saying, some far left President like an AOC or Bernie Sanders will use this as a way to get things through that even I don't want.

Then Republicans will yell and scream and Holler.... But the precedent will have been set by Trump.... IT will be his fault...

If he thinks the southern border is a national emergency, and not issues like climate change, or gun violence. I would love to sit down in a room with him over a few beers.

I would take him to school, I would embarrass him, assuming facts were important. It’s unfortunate when someone in power, gives all Americans a bad name, because the majority of Americans did not want him in power, for obvious reasons.

America was right, the system is wrong. Biodiversity and American “street cred”, now pay the price.

Actually eating pork is a sin in the Old Testament. While I think life without bacon is the real sin.

Yes, Trump's national emergency may be the biggest gift he can give to the Democrats.




No. This isn't subverting the constitution. President Trump as an example couldn't declare a national emergency saying people are being murdered and abortion stops today.

This is a clash between the powers of Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch.

I am glad he did this. We do have a national emergency on the southern border.

There is no logical reason to be against this unless you doubt that illegals are pouring in to this country. If you don't doubt that illegals are pouring in, then you don't care, and then I don't care to listen to your opinion.

What is it about illegal entry that you and others like? Answer me that in a logical way. The President has never said people can't enter the country. They just can't sneak in....seems reasonable to me.

Actually his own words explain this is not an emergency. An emergency is something that has an immediate need.

“I want to do it faster. I could do the wall over a longer period of time,” Trump said on Friday of his intention to issue the declaration. “I didn’t need to do this. But I’d rather do it much faster.”

This does not describe an emergency no matter how you slice it.

No, but its the same rationale Obama gave on some Executive Orders... "If Congress refuses to act... ".

In essence Trump isn't breaking any new ground and he's not setting precedent.

Personally I don't agree with declaring an Emergency over this issue. It IS an issue that has an apparent immediacy, but currently the solution lies within purview of the Legislative Branch. That's where it needs to come from. I don't care if you are Trump or Obama, Congress refusing to act or not acting sufficiently does not constitute an emergency.

There may be events in the future that would validate claims of an Emergency, but I just don't see them yet.

I'm certainly not a fan of a manufactured emergency. And those who lay claim that it's an actual emergency when the man who enacted it openly admitted that it's not.

*sigh*

Yes.

Now do you understand the basic concept of the U.S. Constitution and the principles of Checks and Balances built in to it? If you actually do, then you'll understand my point that when a matter is clearly within the purview and responsibility of the Legislative Branch, the President isn't justified in declaring emergencies or issuing executive orders because they don't agree with Congress's action or inaction.

One huge difference. An executive order doesn't include funding.

Yes. Access to the green is clearly the difference as to why he declared this and not that. It still doesn't change the fact he's not staying in his lane.

i appreciate the humor, but right now im thoroughly ticked off that part of that money he's trying to redirect is coming from military construction budget, which also funds housing developments for military personnel and their families. something that is very much needed.

You are gonna have to prove that to me... Everything I see shows me that he's lying about it..

Take El Paso for instance.. He says it's in a bad way, El Paso government and citizens are saying something totally different.

The stats show that something like 95% of illegal drugs come in through border crossings, he's seen the stats and ignores them

If there is a true national emergency, he'll have to prove it with more than just his words because basically, I believe virtually NOTHING that comes out of his mouth.

You seem to be confusing the issue at this juncture. This isn't really about the wall now. It's about a president calling for a national emergency and while calling for that national emergency, telling the entire nation he really didn't need to do it. That's not an emergency if you don't really need to do it.

Some people seem to support getting what they want at any cost. Some people still believe in the constitution which include the separation of powers. I guess it's all about how powerful you wish to make a president. Some are willing to create a dictator to get what they want.

You seem to be confused on this issue.

Trump didn't have to do it, Congress should have approved the money to keep this from becoming an emergency. They didn't act so the President, whose number one priority is the security of the Nation and to whom has been granted these special powers by Congress, has acted.

Emergency powers has been in effect since 1976 and has been used many times by previous Presidents.
