What a fucking joke.
The GOP must be destroyed inside and out, top to bottom and its enablers need to be permanently dismantled.

He's running (and I'm all in)
Fucking disgusting administration. There's no depths they won't plumb.
Who knows. By all accounts Trump doesn't even know what a National Emergency even does. He might say he's doing something and just not actually do it. Literally nothing he says can be believed because he himself doesn't know what's going on.
Like Trump might just say he's preparing to declare a National Emergency and like so many other things he's "looked into" or "prepared" nothing will actually be done. But it'll get his brain dead base off his ass for a moment.
Maybe. As we've discussed, the way out of this seems to be to let him declare the emergency, sign the funding bill with $1.6 billion as he claims victory, and let the courts strike down whatever funding and manpower he wants to direct to the wall.
Didn't he declare the opioid crisis a national emergency and then do fuck all afterwards?
To him national emergency means picking on the helpless. He doesn't dare face iran, russia, saudi, etc
That strategy of him calling one over this and then doing fuck all when the new funding bills get signed seems all the more likely then.
Thanks, spineless news organisations.
no?
He did nothing wrong and AOC explained herself and her positions very well from the simple questions Anderson asked
"It's an emergency in that I really, really want it and they won't give it to me! MOOOOOOMMMMM!"
Ha!
My partner and I watched last night and at the same time we both said "I fucking hate Anderson Cooper."
Anderson asked her very basic questions that she would face anywhere else she was interviewed. He did his job.
I guarantee you declaring a National Emergency involves some sort of complicated bureaucratic process that neither Trump or his people understand at all. He's going to say the words "National Emergency" expecting that everyone now has to give him what he wants only to find out that nothing changed.
My problem with Cooper wasn't his questions. It was his condescending tone and the incredulity with which he was responding to almost everything she said. I've seen him treat Republican men spewing literal garbage to his face with more respect.

Trump's Oval Office speech tomorrow—in which he may or may not declare a national emergency over border security—is only expected to last 7-8 minutes, per White House official. The speech hadn't been written as of this afternoon. https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-to-visit-southern-border-on-thursday-white-house-says-11546881676 …

I didn't know that Anderson Cooper was a member of the Vanderbilt family and that he didn't inherit any money from his family. He earned $100 mil in journalism. His mother is worth $200 mil. It makes the 60 minutes AOC tax discussion a little more interesting.
Yeah, the most likely outcome is "declaring" a national emergency on TV, but it won't actually be real.
No. They don't.
First of all the Nazis did not win power democratically.
Second the Reichstag Fire Decree was not recognizable to what a National Emergency does in the US.
Third the Enabling Act, which is what Hitler did to solidify dictatorial power, was a piece of legislation that had to pass the Nazi dominated Reichstag.
Fourth, Hitler knew what he was doing and wasn't widely fucking despised.
I look forward to seeing Trump try to reconcile how border crossings are a time critical crisis to resolve immediately with the proposed solution being a wall that will take over a decade to build.
I don't think Anderson did anything wrong. He did a good job asking questions the average dumb voter thinks and AOC handled herself really well.
No, he's totally going to declare the opposition party illegal. That's why he's been sending goons to negotiate with them and has altered his definition of the wall several times. I definitely do that with people I intend to threaten with execution unless they make a me a dictator.
I wonder if Trump went in wanting more time but the networks kept telling him no until he agreed to make it under 10 minutes.
