I remember hearing people say that Obama or Clinton were going to call a national emergency in order to stay in power/kill people injudiciously.

I guess they were right about the "what", just not the specific details about "who" & "why" lol.

It's okay now though because he's not black and/or a Democrat.

In Columbia until Tuesday. Been trying to stay level headed but I'm wondering if I'll even be allowed back in the states when I fly back.

Friends and family live in Oklahoma. Can confirm they've been borderline doomsday preppers for awhile and just itching at the chance to shore up with their guns, beer, and expensive 30-day emergency food kits.

Man, this is actually kind of sobering because you know he does NOT want to make that declaration.

So in other words, he's absolutely going to attack sanctuary cities and states like NY and California
He already is, states and cities are currently nullifying the immigration laws by refusing to enforce them. The feds can't force them to enforce them short of sending in the national guard (which is essentially a Rubicon) but they can and do send in their own immigration agents to act independently of the state/city infrastructure.

It depends on which type of emergency gets declared.

If it's under the Stafford Act, as it's expected, those broad powers only apply to FEMA and how funds are appropriated.

If it's under the National Emergency Act, then that's when the slope gets slippery.

What will all his idiot supporters who denied its existence do now??
Blame it on China and communism, declare war on China, pull a bunch of conspiracy theories out of their ass about democrats, elections and the deep state. Basically how any trumper deals with any situation, by finding a way to be horribly racist and completely stupid / ignorant about it.

Yeah it's crazy, will these tit-for-tat exchanges just continue while both countries are melting down due to internal mishandling of the outbreak?

The Right does literally horrible everything they claim the Left will do/has done. There's a very real reason why they come up with all that shit - they think to do it first and just assume the other side would too.

Do any ERA folk have some sort of remote home/cabin/bunker that they plan to retreat to? My partner does have a cabin up in rural Vermont...

After the previous one I'm actually more scared of his Teleprompter incompetence- when he misreads things - instead of doing what a normal person does and correcting himself - he doubles down on errors and makes them policy or throws agencies and citizens under his ego bus.

Deus Ex is a ridiculously intelligent game.

Informed Guard: Executive Order 10990. It lets us take over all modes of transportation.
New Guard: FEMA can do that?
Informed Guard: If the President declares an emergency. Executive Order 10995. We can take over the media.
New Guard: All of it?
Informed Guard: Any at all. Executive Order 10997. We can take command of natural resources.
New Guard: So it's all legal.
Informed Guard: The National Security Act also falls under our umbrella. And the Defense Production Act. If he plays his cards right, Walton Simons can pull off a bloodless coup.
New Guard: All the better. Then we don't have to fight.
Informed Guard: Exactly.

Remember:

Wait one hour after the speech in case the White House needs to correct any of the President's statements to the opposite of what he said.

Remember: This will be a press conference, not an address to the nation.

It's going to fly off the rails at light speed.

You'd think with all the word salads Trump spews to the American people we'd have solved the obesity crisis.
