One can only hope
That said, I take pleasure in the fleeting instance. I don't think, nor is it important to me, that I change anything.
One can only hope
I disagree. One can can enjoy the moment too.
One infers the other.
Trump’s Wall ‘Emergency’ Would Be The First To Overrule Congress On Spending
Trump and his defenders argue that every recent president has declared emergencies —
but none has done so because Congress refused to fund a pet project.

Not that Congress refused to fund it, but REPUGS refused to fund it.
70% of Americans polled as saying the wall was not worth 35 days of govt shutdown
a large majority of Americans are against the wall in any case.
American is now a dictatorship, with the racist dictator and his ethnic cleansing accomplices guided by Hannity, and his tiny minority racist cult base.
"Mexico wouldn’t pay for his wall. Congress wouldn’t pay for his wall.
So the “great dealmaker” simply determined to steal the money from other projects—
including those genuinely effective in reducing the flow of drugs into the United States.
Protect Democracy is standing by to file a lawsuit to halt Trump’s theft of $6.7 billion dollars.
Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chairman Joaquin Castro is ready with a resolution to end Trump’s declaration in Congress.
NBC reports that Trump is prepared to veto anything that reaches his desk.
But there’s little doubt that
court actions will keep Trump’s attempt tied up for months and prevent any actual construction on the border.
In fact, it may well confuse the situation enough that the fencing authorized by Congress in legislation is also put on hold."

The Alarming Scope of the President's Emergency Powers
From seizing control of the internet to declaring martial law, President Trump may legally do all kinds of extraordinary things.
More is at stake here than the outcome of one or even two elections.
Trump has long signaled his disdain for the concepts of limited presidential power and democratic rule.
During his 2016 campaign, he praised murderous dictators.
He declared that his opponent, Hillary Clinton, would be in jail if he were president, goading crowds into frenzied chants of “Lock her up.”
He hinted that he might not accept an electoral loss.
As democracies around the world slide into autocracy, and nationalism and antidemocratic sentiment are on vivid display among segments of the American populace,
Trump’s evident hostility to key elements of liberal democracy cannot be dismissed as mere bluster.
The moment the president declares a “national emergency”—
a decision that is entirely within his discretion—
he is able to set aside many of the legal limits on his authority.

There's nothing new under the sun
I already said I do it too.
Poor Philo, thought you found a contradiction. Not astute enough to get the point that it's not about sitting on the fence but what you're doing while you're there. There's really nothing wrong with not attaching yourself to a political party or an ideal. Just don't wring your hands over everything that happens.
Lawyer21 steady taking L's in 2019 so far. Thoughts and prayers ya'll.
Ann Coulter just brutally backstabbed Trump and pulled the hood off his emergency wall plan
Donald Trump’s idiotic national emergency declaration just cost him the support of the most bigoted woman in the far-right.
Ann Coulter responded to Trump’s uncons utional declaration in the worst possible way that any Republican can do:
she admitted the utterly painful truth about what the president is doing and shone a spotlight on the way he’s working over his base.

No, the goal of a national emergency is for
Trump to scam the stupidest people in his base for 2 more years.
Daniel Horowitz@RMConservative
The goal of a national emergency is to end illegal immigration and cartel smuggling. Building 100-200 miles of fencing gradually will not do it. With this new amnesty,they UACs will come anywhere including points of entry and not only get amnesty for themselves but for those here

Looks Anne C ain't no Trash fan anymore and
btw, she scams her base with inflammatory, ignorant bull everyday
just because you admit to being a hypocrite doesn't mean you aren't a hypocrite
