McConnell says Trump will sign funding bill, declare a national emergency


Since I based my decision on what was in his post, no I won't. Your tendency towards strawman arguments is noted however. I'm sorry that you're more persuaded by emotionalist arguments than facts though.

Have a good day Tres. I do not see this conversation going any further. At least not until you stop with the strawmen and deliberately ignoring what I have plainly said and shown evidence of.

Hopefully it's for nothing.

Hopefully there are enough people like me in the nation to bring midwestern states into line with the will of the majority. I am so glad I left the GOP when I did. May I have many companions in taking the nation back from what the GOP has become.

What do you mean? He thinks he has the grounds to use it right now.
If he gets to use this toy once, I guarantee you he'll use it once a week from now on.

And? What is that exactly? New Militia? A battle cry?

You are on a message board bud,

But I want to get this straight, you parrot Trump, then yell about the language that he uses, that you now use,

Does Congress play any part to blame in your reality, or is it all Presidential?
 

Asking you to voice your opinion on what we're discussing is a "strawman" now. I love it. Even better than your "Obama......" answers to a question about what you think.

since it is still in court pretty well actually and the fence he put up is still there.
 

You're comparing the posts of an anonymous person on a message board with Washington.

You may have joined here assuming that Congressional members post here too, and model their behaviors on our posts. Sad to inform you that they don't.
 

Try to keep up...Blue State America will stand against trump...We have our own Congress Members fighting for us.....The America you think you knew............Is Over
 

I wish I shared your optimism.

Just calling it like I see it,

The country is just as divisive as Washington is, this is just a microcosm of that.

I just find it very interesting that, that one poster, starts parroting the language, of the person he vilifies.

Says Saladin from Blue State America who has the worst case of TDS on this thread so far with all the incoherent one liners...

Do yourself a favor, take some deep breaths, let the symptoms simmer a bit, and try again only let the brain work a bit before the mouth before you tap at the keyboard again!

Your question wasn't directed toward me, but I follow a lot of legal professionals on Twitter, and every single one of them to a tee believes that such a move is illegal and would fail in the courts.

I'm used to all these legal people getting into food fights on Twitter regarding one legal matter or another, and they're uncannily in unison on this one.

Because Donald Trump is the first and only person in history to use harsh language? Yeah, it must be that.

He is free to post as he chooses as long as he doesn't break any rules. If you have an issue with the rhetoric in Washington, you should consider contacting your Congressional reps and the office of the President.
 

So you are saying that a poster suffers from a mental disorder?
 

Sorry, did I indicate anywhere that he wasn't?

As of right now Trump would be unable to suspend National Elections unless congress delegates that authority to him.

In Wisconsin in 2018, Democrats won every statewide election. Only GOP gerrymandering stopped them from taking back the state legislature.

And in general elections, Democrats are typically stronger than they are in midterms.

So ... there is some reason to be optimistic in the midwest. Trump is hammering his voters here with his trade war. And now that sugar high from his tax cuts has worn off and it is clear that the tax cut winners are wealthy stockholders, GOP support should get softer and softer.

There is still a solid base who will forgive Trump anything, but he needs more than them to retain the White House. And Wisconsin at least will likely be voting for change. I doubt we're that different from the rest of the midwest so there really is reason for hope.

You're using your first 5 posts on this board to carry on about what he posts, and commenting on him "parroting" Donald Trump. Welcome to DP. Most people who join here tend to discuss topics, not other posters, when they first join here. I'm sure I'm not the only one breathlessly awaiting your thoughts on the discussion and not on saladin's posts.
 
Opioid crisis
Gun violence
Climate change
Single payer medicine

If President Trump is going to use his powers to set a brand new precedent, get ready for that precedent to be used again very soon.
 


I do have to say I love your posts. You are optimistic, and that's a good thing.

And I also think what you're saying here has a lot of merit to it. Wisconsin actually could point to a big problem for the GOP come 2020.

I understand but right now we're debating HIS talking points.
We will GET to the REALITY later.
Because right now, Mitch "marbles in his mouth" McConnell is saying that he will back Trump's national emergency, and that already sets one precedent right there.

Boiled frogs, mate.
