The President Is Hallucinating and I Think We Should Be Concerned

Trump is declaring a fictional emergency to complete a wall he hasn't started in response to an incursion that doesn't exist. It's Wayne Hays in the White House.

What happens to Trump in the face of impending loss or defeat is that he feels humiliated and obliterated. Saving face literally feels necessary to survive, and in that state of mind anything goes. We are all hostage to his deep sense of internal deficit.

I give this moron credit for 2 things:
1- Helping us understand why that boring civics class in high school was so important.
2- He brought out the racists, now their masks have been ripped off, they are no longer hidden.Better that we know where and who they are.

.@realDonaldTrump-If there was an actual emergency, Republicans would’ve given you wall money when you still had the House. And you wouldn’t be going on another taxpayer-funded vacation to Mar-a-Lago today if it were a real emergency. But it’s not real. It’s a #FakeTrumpEmergency

Law only allows the use of a #NationalEmergency in two scenarios:
1. Declaration of war
2. Emergency requiring the use of armed forces

Not because you failed at negotiating & Mexico won't pay for your racist wall.

The American people will see you in court, @realDonaldTrump.

TOO UNSTABLE IS AN UNDERSTATMENT!

Former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld is exploring a primary challenge against Trump.

"Our president is simply too unstable to carry out the duties of the highest executive office in the land," Weld said.

https://www.politico.com/story/2019/02/1...t-trump-1170989

Former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld said on Friday that he is exploring a challenge to President Donald Trump for the Republican nomination in 2020.

“Our president is simply too unstable to carry out the duties of the highest executive office in the land,” Weld said as he announced the launch of an exploratory committee at Politics & Eggs in Bedford, N.H. The breakfast program is considered a must for 2020 hopefuls in the early-voting state.

“I'm here because I think our country is in grave peril and I cannot sit any longer quietly on the sidelines,” Weld added. “We have a president who openly praises and encourages despotic and authoritarian leaders abroad while going out of his way seemingly to insult and even humiliate our Democratic allies.”

Weld's most recent foray into politics was a 2016 run for vice president on the Libertarian ticket alongside former presidential candidate and New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson. By jumping in as the first Republican to challenge Trump's reelection, Weld is likely to draw attention. The former governor currently works at ML Strategies, and took a leave from the Boston-based consulting firm in 2016 to run alongside Johnson.

At the Libertarian Party's 2016 convention, Weld said he was a "Libertarian for life." He continued courting Libertarian groups after November, but appears to have done an about-face for 2020. Leading up to Friday's announcement, there was some speculation as to whether Weld would run as a Republican or a Libertarian. Just a week ago, Weld registered as a Republican, CommonWealth Magazine first reported.

I'm beginning to think that a "pee pee tape" is code word for a video of Trump & Alan Dershowitz at Jeffrey Epstein's mansion.

A lawyer like Dershowitz doesn't proclaim that the Constitution is "Unconstitutional" unless he's being blackmailed by someone, with something horrific.

Ann Coulter tweeted that "the goal of a national emergency is for Trump to scam the stupidest people in his base for 2 more years." Retweet if you HATE that you have to agree with Ann Coulter for once.

Trump employed undocumented immigrants for the last 50 years but all of a sudden it’s an “emergency”. Only the GOP would try and sell that to you. #FakeTrumpEmergency

Today, Trump lied, spurned facts, advocated for unjust Chinese-style executions, and abused emergency authorities to bypass checks on his power. He’s an authoritarian who has mostly been checked by Congress and the Judiciary, but this situation is the biggest test of both so far.

Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander says Trump declaring an emergency is unwise and inconsistent with the Constitution: "It is unwise because if this president can declare a national emergency to build a wall, the next president can declare a national emergency to tear it down."

Hmmm. No one told the Secretary of Defense that there is a “national emergency” at the Southern Border. Trump can’t even pretend he knows how to pretend he is acting like the President of the United States. Let us pray we have no real emergency while Trump is in the Oval Office.John Dean added,

Just in: Acting Sec of Defense Shanahan just told reporters he hasn’t determined if there is a military necessity for a border wall or how much money Defense will even spend. Shanahan said he hasn’t yet spoken to President Trump.

No way did Heather Nauert withdraw her UN Ambassador nomination in a mad dash on a Saturday night, simply because she once illegally used an immigrant nanny. In the Trump era, something so comparatively small wouldn't sink a confirmation. She must have an UGLY scandal coming out.
