Trump Threatens ‘National Emergency’ If Deal Is Not Reached In 3 Weeks - I Did Not Cave To The DEMS!

Citizen Free Press ^

[ImpBill]

Ok. You didn’t cave.

What I want to know is what is your response to Chukie’s asking if you had learned your lesson?

[dfwgator]

Trump’s re-election hopes are not based on his issues, it’s based on his perception as a leader.

And that took a giant hit today.

I pray he can recover.

[DownInFlames]

Under Article II, Section 3, he should adjourn Congress till September 1.

[dontreadthis]

yes, “let him enforce it”

[MrEdd]

Or if Trump pulled the football away from the bleating Free Republic NeverT rumpers yet again. They will always fall for it even when the media makes the most absurd proclamations.

[Sgt_Schultze]

Exactly. If it is an emergency, you cannot wait three weeks, or so. If you can wait three weeks, it isn’t easy to call it an emergency.

[Lurkinanloomin]

I remain skeptical that Roberts is on our side.

[dfwgator]

I remain skeptical that Roberts is on our side.

He isn't.

[SmokingJoe]

The Dems already have a judge lined up(paid off by the Mexican cartels) to immediately suspended any Trump emergency order to fund the wall.

[MichaelCorleone]

I will take the President at his word.

[laconic]

Eventually, it sounds like a kid who double dares you, you take the dare and then he threatens really big consequences if you don’t give in the next time. Why he accepted this is beyond me; he got nothing and the other side got everything, including the opportunity to verbally spit on him and the angel families to the delight of the press. I don’t know who his political advisers are in the White House, but they seem to be lacking. This is very damaging; and what he does in three weeks won’t fix it.

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

Needs to just do it

[Dr. Sivana]

Never make a threat ... just DO IT!

There is a time to make a threat, when the battlefield is a courtroom or the court of public opinion. If you go into court in a tort or especially a contracts case, and you cannot show that you made any effort to come to an arrangement, it doesn't go as well for you. The lawyers for the Covington Catholic boys made the threat, and received a number of written apologies, which can be used to get most of the rest in line. Whoever remains gets sued.

[right way right]

“I will take the President at his word”

I will too.

He going to declare the emergency because nobody else can and it’s up to us to ensure his jellyfish spined political party supports him.

Otherwise, the next step after him is a nasty one.

The Left does not fear us enough and....who the hell else is there!
Jeff Flake??

[dfwgator]

The Left does not fear us enough and....who the hell else is there! Jeff Flake??

When I look around, there is only one out there that I see, and that's Governor Abbott. Forget Pence, I want Abbott, if it isn't Trump.

[mewzilla]

Guys, won’t Trump just ask for and get an emergency hearing before the SCOTUS?

No way a ruling on his declaration takes years.

[amihow]

And all the while the invasion continues.

[wiseprince]

He better shut it down again THEN declare an emergency. Without the shutdown they’ll just use the courts. Hawaii is already on call. What a joke of a country. Not governed by law

[amihow]

Unless he gets senate to o.k.it or a judge to give a prior declaratory affirming judgment.

That almost certainly would allow him to carry it out imho.

[wiseprince]

Yeah, he should shut it down again. Let’s see how many month long shutdowns a wall is worth to everyone. Just do it. They won’t accept that you won the Presidency but you did. Do it! Take control of the government!
