Once again, there is no emergency. It's the same tactic that he keeps on using. How is there no requirement to provide evidence of an emergency?
Because the assumption is that the president won't be a fucking dumbass, and will need to utilize the emergency powers immediately, because of an actual imminent threat they can't wait around for approval for.
You say that like this administration gives a shit about the law.
You spelled criminal regime wrong.
The CONSTITUTION says he can't do that.
Joke's on you! That kid can't read!
As if he would care about the constitution while putting the military in place for his coup.
The law only matters if there are those willing to enforce it. We all know that's no longer the case.
The supreme court has made TACO a king. Now we get to see the results.
Are you, are you, coming to the tree? Strung up a man, say he murdered three. Strange things have happened here no stranger would it be If we met, at midnight, in the hanging tree.
Are you, are you, coming to the tree? Where a dead man called out for his love to flee. Strange things did happen here no stranger would it be if we met, at midnight, in the hanging tree
Remember remember
well this is was meant as a distraction of the epstein files which blew up more than he could handle, which was itself a distraction from the protests/ BBB cuts. hes doing whatever he cans to bury the bbb, and epstein files in a mountain of outrage shit.
Idk. This particular thing is bad enough that I'm not sure it's meant to be a distraction. Trump is up to other actually bad things besides distracting from the files. Like, at this point I feel like if Trump went on live TV and declared himself dictator for life people would be like "nice try distracting us from the Epstein files!". At some point he ain't distracting, he's just getting back to his main tasks
That's because the majority of Americans think that he is not getting away with and or implementing the distractions. They think everything will get tied up in courts and nothing bad will happen. They have gotten too used to a normal functioning society and don't believe the klaxon alarms going off everywhere right now.
