I’ve been thinking about the emergency powers that POTUS has and wondering when he’s going to use them. Listened to X22Report (excellent) last night and he went through a long explanation. Not time to play the Trump card, not time, not time, ...... now it’s time.

I have been wondering if Trump will EVER play it. I won’t be shocked if he does; it seems like we have been building up to this as he has been amassing the power. But what if he never plays it? What if he simply uses the power to exert influence, like having nukes that you never launch? The threat is often sufficient to keep your enemy in line.

As one example, the Cuomo brothers seem to be falling in line. Gradually. If they suddenly changed drastically, that would be suspicious and raise a lot of questions. But if they start saying things like C. Cuomo did: “admitting he doesn’t like “what I do professionally” or “trafficking in things that I think are ridiculous.”” then it looks much more plausible.

Another strong possibility to consider (especially in light of my previous post on deep fakes!) is that certain players are being taken off the board surreptitiously. This would mean that POTUS *IS* using his emergency powers in drastic ways, but not overtly, not visible to the general public.

In other ways, I believe he is exposing the unconstitutionality of certain Governors by letting them exert drastic power that Trump himself has not used. He is demonstrating his levelheadedness, his absence of dictatorial traits.

We tend to like concentrated power when it’s concentrated in “our” guy, but not when the other team has it. Is this going to demonstrate that? Will there be a future movement to reduce the concentrated powers? I’m grateful that Trump has those powers now; he is using them for good. But can you imagine Hitlery or 0vomit wielding those same powers? Yikes.

Appreciate your thoughts.

1. Another president would have to get all 50 states to sign off on the National Emergency; Wyoming just did the other day. So it’s not a common occurance to have a National Emergency in all 50 states plus the 4 territories.

2. Many other National Emergencies have happened and under Trump, but NOT “All 50 States and 4 territories”, from my (admittedly limited knowledge), that makes a HUGE difference.

3. We know from many Q drops, and many statements of Donald The Strong, that the bad actors are not getting off scott free or Scot Free! They will be served Justice. Just disappearing into the twilight is not the solution and won’t happen.

Just a few of my thoughts in connection.

You bring up some great points.

It seems that Trump is redefining executive power. Got to thinking about that last night and remembered Barr’s talk some months back about the proper role of the executive branch.

Don’t know where things will end up, but I trust The Plan.
