Truly an example of a blind squirrel. Historically - and also over the past 2 years - they have been one of the least accurate.Quote:

In the meantime, we all know, even the libs here, that because it will be Trump declaring this national emergency it will be a "Constitutional crisis," never mind that previous prezzes have done so in the past, without destroying the Constitution. I also find it awfully hypocritical when libs decry concerns about the Constitution when they plot everyday how to thwart it!
In a political sense, it will be interesting how this plays out re: the 2020 POTUS campaign and other politics. Really the number of people still fence-sitting and who might be swayed, one way or the other, is so small....less than 5% of the electorate, it probably won't have any real effect.
Politically, this is his Green New Deal.
That's what the mainstream media wants you to believe. Anyone capable of independent thought sees right through their fake news reports.Quote:

And then there was the great illegal rough diamond epidemic when college students were jamming them up their noses. Death and destruction!!Quote:

But a dem POTUS won't...er, right? After all, dems are "good." Trump is "bad." Why would a "good" dem POTUS want to imitate "bad" Trump?Quote:

You guys that wanted Trump to burn it all down...you got what you wanted.
