When all else fails, they go back to Hitler.

The typing stool-samples at the WaPo discovered the enabling acts of 1933? They didn’t say anything for any of Obama’s 12 national emergencies.

Occam’s Razor dictates that this is a manifestation of Godwin’s Law.
On the other hand, I shot Schrödinger’s cat with Chekhov’s gun.

At least 30 other times emergency powers have been used in the last few decades. But NOW it means “Hitler”.

Erm...Emergency powers are akin to martial law. A National emergency contains the word ‘emergency’, so it must be the same thing. If everyone could just panic and head for the exits, that would be great. Cuz, it’s like, you know, an emergency.

Hitler had only just one ball
Goering had two but very small
Himmler had something similar
And Goebells had no balls
At all!
Har!

Or in the case of horse dropping rolled in powdered sugar. A doughnut hole. Just saying.

Tell the gang of 8 about misuse of power. If they’re going to OK a coup then let Trump fight fire with fire.

Why wasn’t this an issue when Barrack Hussein aka Soetero aka Dunham was president?
Ever notice how the left always accuses others if what they do?
Right out of Saul slinsky.

America hasn't avoided them - we've declared emergencies since the Ford administration and there are over thirty federal emergencies currently in effect. And yet, we haven't elected Hitler. We aren't Germany.

Thank you!
I forgot the last line, that sounds like this:
Doo Doo Doo Doot Do Doo! At least, to my ears, but they’ve been Van Halenized, so my huh? may vary... Too much fun! Yay!

Hitler has only got one ball
Göring has two but very small
Himmler is rather sim'lar
But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all
