C'mon man, the patented "double dumbass pork chop on you" retort is a staple of his repertoire.

to liberal thinking, if a conservative idea isn't guaranteed 100% perfect, then it's useless, and it's never going to be seen as positive anyways

 

and for their own liberal ideas they accept anything they can dream up, never bothering to foresee the obvious negatives that show up 100% guaranteed

 

 

 

Liberals see liberal ideas that aren't more than10% guaranteed to work as being necessary to pass anyhow (so that we can know what those ideas are), then fixed over the next few decades through subsequent legislation. Think of the children! People are actually literally going to die!!!!111

 

Conservative ideas are evil, immoral, unworthy of mention, and must be opposed at all costs.

for war liberals and their media toadies demand you present perfect details on how many will die and how long it will take, and start complaining right at that moment that the whole thing is a fiasco

Trump opened his national emergency press conference talking about China. Then North Korea. Japan. UK. Opioid crisis and China’s role. Also the Dow and jobs. And threw in a few words about the wall. 

 

Nice “emergency.”

 

Imagine if George Bush had opened his 9-11 press conference talking about inflation. 

 

Congress could have passed this but didn’t. The presidential overreach continues. I’ll be curious if the Senate has the cajones to close off the purse strings for this grab. Some Rs will oppose this recognizing this as POTUS overreach.

On the one hand...presidential overreach.

 

On the other hand...Trump has a pen.  And a phone.  Suck it, Democrats.

Many people here are claiming that the majority of drugs and trafficked humans are found at the ports of entry rather than unprotected border areas. Thank you for making the case for border fences. Border fences are designed to force the people involved in drug/human smuggling to ply their trade at ports of entry. Just because more contraband is found at ports of entry does not mean that less contraband is coming across the border in unprotected areas. It means that it is easier to find drugs at ports of entry than in unprotected areas. So, who can argue the importance of forcing evil doers to come through out ports of entry?

I didn’t want Obamacare underwritten by Obama alone. He did it anyway. . . . . .Trump undid it.

 

I didn’t want Iran to get a pallet of cash, but Obama did it anyway. . . . . . Trump reversed that.

 

Obama’s already done what Trump’s discussing.

 

“What if a D wins” is moot.

 

They’ve already done it.

Call me when that happens because it won't. Immigrants make us better, create jobs and help businesses thrive and make goods and services cheaper. 

 

You guys acting like you you want to save lives is funny. Gun control, expanded health care and expanded public health campaigns would save a whole lot more lives, but the GOP is lock stock and barrel against any of that, so I think you are being a hypocrite and no one believes you. Hence, the 40 seat drubbing you guys took in the last election 

You're a complete moron.  Go ahead and become socialist and we will become Venezuela.  It will seem so sweet at first, everyone gets everything free!  Tax the 1%, then when they become the 20% then the 20% will be the richest and they'll get taxed to heck, then when they become the 40%...well you get the picture, everyone becomes equally poor.  Then we'll have to print money to try and make ends meet, and boom, we are in inflation hell, lines out the door, and not enough food to go around.  Uprising by the people, then the big communist hand comes down to squash the rebellion with an iron clenched fist.  That is always how it ends.  You're witnessing it in Venezuela, wait for the crack down, you'll see.  You idiots who want to ruin the country.

POTUS' declaration is legal + well founded.

To my Democrat colleagues complaining about executive authority: welcome aboard! Good to have you.

If you're ready to permanently rein in executive branch power and give it back to Congress, once and for all--I'll work with you. Today.

I do have to laugh at all of those nincompoops who seem to think that Trump is on "Next Level Thinking"

 

Pelosi and Schumer have his number here. It takes a Joint Resolution to undo the emergency declaration, and if it passes the House on a simple majority (Which the Democrats easily can bring to the floor and win a majority on) the Senate MUST vote on it. McConnell can't hide it like he did all of those other bills to end the shutdown. 

 

You've already had a bunch of Republican senators say that they are against the national emergency. You have a bunch, including McConnell, who are facing elections in 2020. There are legitimate worries that being forced on this will cause infighting in the party over an unpopular issue. And you only need four to flip.

In short, you have Trump picking a deeply unpopular and infeasible project as his hill to die on, and he gets to drag down the rest of his party down with him.

We'll see how it turns out in 2020. Which one of the morons that the left is turning out will oppose him? The wanna be Native American? The Jussie Smallete opportunist? Each one is more outrageous than the next.
