    Trump admitted he didn’t need to do this literally minutes after signing it. So how much of an emergency is it?

    To many it is a legit emergency.  millions of people breaking the laws of this country yearly and the government unable and unwilling to fix it.  Hence an emergency.

    We're going nowhere. You're on board with the cheeto. Rule of law doesn't matter as long as you get the "win".

    Look at the list of former national emergencies and decide for yourself how much of an "emergency" any of them are?  At least Trumps has something to do with the actual US

    All well and good, but the fact remains that "emergency" has a specific meaning in government (the one I gave). Using the legal definition, those are emergencies, this is a petulant man-child not getting money from mom and dad, and shoplifting the item he wants.

    what dont you understand about the word "national"?  Declaring a national emergency when something is happening in another country is not an emergency.  It is not putting in danger US citizens.  What Trump is declaring one for is way more of an emergency for the people in this country then almost everything on that list

    Was there something in my post that was confusing?

     

    Yea.....regardless of how fast something comes up in the middle of Africa......its not a national emergency to the US.  This action has been abused a lot.

    The definition of emergency in this context is that something came up so quickly that there wasn't time for congress to act. Clearly not the case here.

    Did you look at that list?  Most of those are foreign policy issues that had nothing to do with a "national" security.

    Unlike this one that actually is taking place here

  • THere was a national emergency declared for something going on in central America that had nothing to do with the US.  I think the precedent has been set for these to be declared for some dumb shit.  This is not one of those cases.  THe southern border is a national security threat

  • Unreal that these NY Dems are claiming some sort of victory that they "ran" out tens of thousands of jobs from the biggest business in the US out of their state.

     

    Just crazy logic.

    That’s also just one index. And an index is just a broad range picture of the market. Technically, depending on what gblock holds, he could be doing significantly better in his portfolio during those last three years of Obama versus first couple years of trump. 

    For example, if he holds a lot of international, he’s not happy these last few years. 

    Pointing out one fact about one index is also pointing out fact to fit YOUR belief. 

    If that is his profile then he deserves what he gets.

    I have stocks and they are doing fine just as they were doing fine for last 8-10 years. They were doing great last year, now they are back on the same trajectory they have been/should be. There isn’t some aha moment or anything special that I see, or have heard of but everyone’s situation is different for sure 

     

    Haha....... fine as in you didnt lose all your money?  The stock market and the economy was a wreck under Obama.  The ends dont justify the means in regards to the growth of the market under Obama.  Your money was hogtied and did not grow.  That profit with compounding interest will never be made up due to anti capitalistic agenda

    It’s not really an argument. It’s a fact that he uses a ton of tax payer money to go golfing. You’re ignoring that fact because Obama did, too. Which is blind partisanship 101. 

    I was pointing that out to another poster.  I wasnt ignoring it

    So every time I want to mention trump playing a lot of golf, you want me to put a little disclaimer that Obama did too? That will satisfy you? Fucking weirdo. You’re obsessed with Obama. 

    Sure....then everyone knows your argument is lame.

    Both Obama and Trump play too much golf and spend too much taxpayer dollars on their golf trips. 

    Now, what do ya got?

    Thats my point.  You dont get to post about trump playing golf and ignore the fact that Obama did the same thing

    If you are a teacher you have benefited exactly 0$ from trump being in office as compared to Obama.

    Lololoo loo Ok I.  The biggest single increase in any pay check i have gotten in a decade was from his tax cuts. You dont Know what you are talking about.
