But there might not be many more presidents if Trump manages to do this end run around the system of checks and balances to give himself unilateral power to do whatever he wants. Vox has published an excellent write up of legal opinions about Trump's national emergency declaration: https://www.vox.com/2019/2/15/18225359/t...act-border

And they would be right. It's all just yet another stunt to deflect attention from the fact that he lost the budget battle so badly. The courts will never permit this to stand. The troops he sent there around Thanksgiving had nothing to do except twiddle their thumbs. If there were an emergency, they would have had something to do. They didn't. Trump can't lie his way into a fake emergency.

Here's an amusing snippet from another Vox article:
Trump doesn’t seem terribly concerned. He plans to travel to Florida mere hours after declaring the emergency from the White House. A president, in times of strife, would typically stay in the nation’s capital to oversee the crisis. This one wants to do so from the comfort of his weekend getaway. In effect, the president is preparing the country for a fake war, with a quasi-official war chief in place, as he plans to enjoy a mini vacation. The only national emergency here, really, is one of leadership.

In his latest Instagram post, Roger Stone attacks Judge Amy Berman Jackson, the federal judge overseeing his case.
There is even a crosshair in the upper left corner of the picture. ![[Image: Dztkn-RPWs-AANL0-J.jpg]](https://i.postimg.cc/ryN6qbdP/Dztkn-RPWs-AANL0-J.jpg)
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
What's a Roger Stone?
Why is his instagram surprising? My perception is that anyone who supports the current Whitehouse incumbent is able to rationalise literally anything

It stuns me (although it shouldn't) that an American president would use victims killed by illegal immigrants to justify border controls, but not use victims killed in a mass shooting to justify gun control.

IMO they don't give a flying fuck about either. It suits their fearmongering agenda.
Here's a great article about Trump having money problems.
https://www.motherjones.com/politics/201...h-problem/ Eric Trump is complaining bitterly that they can't make any money because of fake news and the Democrats. This family of carnival barkers deserves to be reduced to rags for attempting to use running for president as a publicity stunt.
