Schiff: Intel Chiefs' Testimony Means Trump Can't Declare National Emergency



“Schiff suggests will use intel chiefs’ testimony if Trump tries national emergency card.”


“The fact that none of the intel chiefs brought up a threat at the southern border as being one of the most pressing threats facing the country, that could be Exhibit A in a challenge to any kind of a declaration of a national emergency.” - PoliticusUSA

Watch Donnie of Few Smarts,attack Mr. Schiff before the end of the day. Little Lindsey seemed to set the table a bit earlier.

I think that Trump and his cronies are pushing Venezuela as their plan to eventually declare a national emergency.

Then the next Democrat in office can declare one and create a Medicare for all program not to mention a national emergency on taxes and increase the rate to 90% for corporations and people that earn more than 40 million a year.

I supported Hillary Clinton and I voted for her. The forces of darkness have their misogynist guns all lined up. Sadly, it is too soon for a woman candidate for POTUS. But a few years as VP and then on to break the glass ceiling.

This pushes drumpf towards a shutdown which is the worst possible thing that could be done. Let him declare a national emergency, then attack and win. Now, I fear our government will almost surely go back to suicide mode effective 2/15 or 2/16. Really don't think him coming out and previewing a Democratic response to a potential drumpf national emergency proclamation is smart and could end up being a terrible thing because I totally don't trust Repugs to over-ride a drumpf veto, don't think enough of them have the balls.

Heavy sigh!
