Nancy Pelosi’s Threat to President Trump if He Declares a National Emergency Rings Hollow
screengrab from https://youtu.be/XD7QUPK0yNk
President Trump seems poised to accept a suboptimal-to-disastrous spending bill (depending upon your point of view) to prevent another government shutdown and declare an national emergency of some sort in order to allow the reprogramming of existing funds to support construction of a border wall. Nancy Pelosi issued a warning on this:
“A Democratic president can declare emergencies, as well,” Pelosi told reporters in the Capitol. “So the precedent that the president is setting here is something that should be met with great unease and dismay by the Republicans.”
Pelosi noted that Thursday marked the one-year anniversary of the shooting at a high school in Parkland, Fla., which left 17 students and faculty dead. She argued that the real national emergency is not illegal border crossings, but gun violence in the U.S.
“Let’s talk about today: The one-year anniversary of another manifestation of the epidemic of gun violence in America,” Pelosi said. “That’s a national emergency. Why don’t you declare that emergency, Mr. President? I wish you would.
“But a Democratic president can do that.”
Gun violence is a national emergency
Climate Change is a national emergency
Income inequality is a national emergency
Access to healthcare is a national emergency
Building a wall on the southern border is not.

Let’s cut through the bullsh**. No Democrat and no place at no time on no subject has ever been constrained from doing what they wanted to do because a GOP president had not done it before. It wasn’t a Republican White House that chortled, “Stroke of the pen. Law of the land. Kinda cool.” If the Democrats thought they could get away addressing any of their goals of reshaping America into just another totalitarian Third World sh** hole they would have done so by now.
And no, the fact that Trump declares this particular emergency doesn’t have any bearing whatsoever on our ability to criticize future presidents declaring national emergencies we oppose. As they say, a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds. If you want an example of what a foolish but consistent hobgoblinish mind looks like, this is an example.
A lot of Democrats embraced Obama unilateral actions when Congress refused to enact his priorities – DACA, DAPA, climate regs, etc. Some Rs now saying, well Obama did X Y Z (which they railed about at the time)…

Building a freakin fence is not the same as giving 6 million legal residency by legal fiat. Reprogramming existing funds is not the same as restructuring the entire US economy based on the nitwittery of climate change models.

Pelosi is an absolute nut. Any President can declare whatever kind of emergency they want. None of which can have any effect on gun ownership. Executive orders have the force of law but only for the government. They can NOT be enforced as laws on the general public. Nice try though. I find it telling that she goes directly after private gun ownership. Why are Dems so afraid of our freedoms????
Can someone get this BIMBO off the stage??? Even dresses like a c untator! She is committing treason against a legal sitting US President doing his REQUIRED constitutional duties but did NOTHING when you had an unconstitutional Nerogro sodomite in charge as a usurper.
Arrest her, Hillaryous, and Chuckie boy for TREASON and possible hangings.
I am disturbed that 3 days later after Pelosi’s remark that there was a shooting of 3 children and a woman in MI: https://twitter.com/i/moments/1097612668842713088
