Agreed, @RandPaul!

That’s why President Trump isn’t invoking his inherent Article II power to declare a national emergency.

Instead, he is relying on statutes enacted by Congress.

This isn’t a separation of powers issue.

Please, Senator, reconsider!
Really don't like watching good Senators weaken their own political positions based on principled - but mistaken - grounds
Pretty solid ratios on all of these tweets from @RandPaul

Totally unnecessary!

This is the very definition of a stupid rebellion

Theon Greyjoy Republicans
Normally when Republicans make some posturing vote that will have no real-world impact it's to signal that they agree with the base

Here they are pointlessly counter-signaling the President

Weakens them, weakens the party

Senator, that’s not what’s happening and you know it.

President Trump is invoking long-standing statutory authority to build the wall.

Want to repeal the underlying statute? Fine.

But your action today says that Trump can’t use this power - but that Democrats can.
When President Obama declared a national emergency in Burundi, you had nothing to say.

But when Trump declares a national emergency on our border, you object?

Respectfully, Senator, please reconsider.

Democrats - and the media - are gaslighting you.
Reading @RandPaul's full op-ed - it's clear he's trying to think through this question in an honest, forthright fashion (as we have come to expect!

That said - I think there are some serious problems with his argument, which I'll go through here.

What an asinine statement

“If it failed, it was foolish”
18 months ago - when Trump was calling KJU “Little Rocket Man” and threatening him with “fire and fury” - people were criticizing Trump for bellicosity

Now he’s too nice

Apparently the only appropriate tone is stern lecturing

Which just so happens to be Ben’s default tone
No substantive concessions have been made

The scoreboard still has us winning - all the sanctions are still in place, the nuclear tests have stopped, NK and RoK are talking

President Trump will support a sweeping budget and border compromise and declare a national emergency at the same time, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says.

Here's a thread on what has been written about declaring a national emergency⬇️
Without a bill funding the wall, where can the president find the money?

"Several places, it turns out," Mark Tushnet wrote on Feb 6: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
If President Trump declares a national emergency, Nancy Pelosi can jam Republicans, @ThePlumLineGS wrote on Feb 4.

Breaking: President Trump will support a sweeping budget and border compromise and declare a national emergency at the same time.

The emergency declaration could allow Trump to procure wall funding without approval from Congress. From @washingtonpost. bit.ly/2toyGR3

It is expected to face legal challenges and the House could pass a disapproval resolution that McConnell would be forced to put on the Senate floor. bit.ly/2toyGR3

1) This is my #Qanon thread for posts from February 5th to the present.
The theme of this thread is the transfer of wealth of the puppet masters.

Q posts can be found here: qcodefag.github.io
2) #Qanon begins with a screenshot of a tweet by POTUS responding to a tweet from Adam Schiff.

#Trump accuses @AdamSchiffCA of being a liar and a leaker, on par with James @Comey, @MarkWarner, @JohnBrennan & James Clapper.
3) #Qanon says Trump's BLUNT statement was made because damaging information is about to come to light. It involves Shiff, but t also the puppet masters: the Rothschilds, Prince Alwaleed (Dopey) and maybe even George Soros.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
