BREAKING NEWS: White House says Trump will sign spending bill to avoid shutdown but will declare border emergency TOO – as Pelosi warns GOP a future Democratic president could use the same tactic to impose gun control..."I know the Republicans have some unease about it, no matter what they say. Because if the president can declare an emergency on something that he has created as an emergency, an illusion that he wants to convey, just think of what a president with different values can present to the American people,' she said.

'You want to talk about a national emergency? Let's talk about today, the one-year anniversary of another manifestation of the epidemic of gun violence in America. 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. [A] Democratic president can declare emergencies as well,' she threatened."

If ugly was an energy source, Waxman could power the entire L.A. metro area with his face.

Who do you think would be prepared for the ‘chaos’ and swoop in to restore order?

I’m just saying. It wouldn’t be a ‘house to house’ affair. The ‘shoot them on my doorstep’ approach is horribly simplistic and not very realistic either.

Pelosi should read the law, so she can find out what’s in it.

I’m actually not entirely sure of the outcome this go around. Technology is very different. The state has a lot more ‘tools’ in their toolchest than the stain on his head guy did.

Hardly. If a future President could, the last President would have.

Having an open season on the government officials and police is very different. It’s not good for them at all either.

Ai. She want’s a shooting civil war? The founders made positively sure that the clearest need for a revolution is when the second amendment was infringed.

Whether she floods the country with illegals, in order to change the electorate, or a future Dem President declares a fake emergency to take away our means of self defense, either way, the Dems have outed themselves as the domestic enemy, and the outcome is potentially the same. Changing the electorate will make it seem legitimate. So let’s declare the emergency and get moving on that wall.

I wouldn’t have the first clue where to start. Which is the problem most on our side has.

> Should what Pelosi is suggesting ever come to pass, banking or medical access will be just a sideshow compared to the main event.

Exactly.

Well let’s just HOPE some future Democrat POTUS tries that.

I can’t imaging a better set of circumstances for the Republic.

Our framers are a good example too. The colonists brought a world empire to its knees.
