PostEverything it certainly is appropriate!

SenJeffMerkley PostEverything Yes it was. 400,000 illegals a year sneaking in that breaks our laws is an emergency Jeff!

SenJeffMerkley PostEverything How is this not National Emergency?

PostEverything BS people are dying at the border and a wall is required to prevent these tragedies from happening that is an emergency.

PostEverything Yes it was.

PostEverything The border is not a crisis/emergency situation. Any civilian calling in an emergency, where an emergency does not exist, can be charged with a crime and fined, jailed, or both. This should apply to Trump’s border wall.

gtconway3d PostEverything It’s irrelevant. If every lawyer he knows told him it was illegal, it would still be irrelevant. The sole purpose is to placate the lunatic fringe of the GOP that is his base. Courts stopping him serves that purpose just as much as them not.

SenJeffMerkley PostEverything The Border Patrol, based on their experience & expertise, gave details of types of deterrents, roadways (&where needed) for maximum effectiveness. They specified need for 17-foot wall in specific areas & contiguous roadways along border. Only Trump listened.

PostEverything Gosh. If only our founders had provided a governmental institution to write clarity into such things.. oh wait..

SenJeffMerkley PostEverything

PostEverything Hey fyi psa they swiped 2 pay checks aka casino bankrupt aka crooked developer style dont pay them let them work

SenJeffMerkley PostEverything Thousands are illegally entering our country every day costing American taxpayers billions annually. It’s an emergency. Secure our border. BuildTheWall

SenJeffMerkley PostEverything It’s an emergency Jeff

PostEverything Mappingthedeepstate👀.com QAnon 👍😁🤔

SenJeffMerkley PostEverything He wouldn't have to 'misuse his powers' if you Democraps USED YOUR POWERS TO LEGISLATE - IMMIGRATION/ASYLUM REFORM LAWS - would he? Is it a misuse of power if his actions make us more secure than ALL your lip flapping that helps do NOTHING BS?...

SenJeffMerkley PostEverything There should be no need for an emergency, if Dems put the country before their personal feelings.

SenJeffMerkley PostEverything The Washington Compost is Wrong.

SenJeffMerkley PostEverything

SenJeffMerkley PostEverything It’s about securing our southern border.

PostEverything Dishonest journalism.... governments first responsibility is to protect and defend our nation

PostEverything Well it should b because we r facing an invasion of people’s from other countries trying to enter our country without our consent as Americans. Can’t seem to take care of citizens here!!!

gtconway3d PostEverything Calm down Trump by giving him his 'wall' and build a barrier at strategic areas. Then christen it the Trump Fence. That should burn his big orange butt.

PostEverything Narrator: In part bc it isn't an emergency.

PostEverything That's not the point. It is an emergency on the border. A wall is needed - first line of defense. Kinda keeps terrorists out.

gtconway3d PostEverything and u were never meant to be in the news business...u r nothing more then a deep state arm

gtconway3d PostEverything Especially when he could have sent military to assist with the California wildfires which was a national emergency.

Kris_Sacrebleu PostEverything What hasn’t Trump watered down?

PostEverything If he does that he lets Pandora out of the box..trust me believe me..

gtconway3d PostEverything Not getting your way and throwing a fit isn’t a ‘National Emergency’ it’s an economic damaging Tantrum

PostEverything It was meant to protect the US, it can come in any form.

gtconway3d PostEverything Of course it wasn’t.

PostEverything Oh, I stand corrected, there are all the walls Trump is bragging that he has already built. One small problem, there not on the border.

PostEverything Being over run by criminals seems like an emergency to americans

PostEverything Also from Jackson's concurring: 'We may say that power to legislate emergencies belongs in the hands of Congress, but only Congress itself can prevent power from slipping through its fingers.'

PostEverything Yes it was who wrote this garbage opinion

PostEverything The General Welfare clause was never meant for Entitlement Programs, so what's your point?

PostEverything literally, yes it is

PostEverything J, nobody knows that you're a Russian troll. It'll be our secret.

PostEverything Also from Jackson's concurring: 'We may say that power to legislate emergencies belongs in the hands of Congress, but only Congress itself can prevent power from slipping through its fingers.'

PostEverything Apparently, you have no idea what it was mean for. Security at the Border is a National Emergency & a wall would stop 99.9% of crosdings at the Southern Border.

PostEverything If Comrade Trump try to uss TNEAct for that stupid wall then DEM should use the same tatic for the NRA

PostEverything BabyKillers RalphNortham AndrewCuomo

PostEverything Measles outbreak, polio like diseases, unknown infections, $115 billion EVERY year pumped into a slush fund of democrat voter hopefuls for primarily political reasons? 5k homicides EVERY year, 70k rapes EVERY year. How bad will it have to get before Democrats want protection?

PostEverything There are a number of ways Trump can fund the wall that are not subject to Congress’s “termination provision.” Democrats are screwed.

PostEverything Until NOW

PostEverything Possible upcoming national emergencies: Climate change Gun violence Could funds used for a wall during this national emergency be re-allocated by a future administration for their national emergency? GOP senatemajldr SpeakerPelosi POTUS

PostEverything The only emergency to be declared is Mr. O mouth is out of office, as well as other hypocrites.

PostEverything Was mining to protect USA and the wall serves this purpose

PostEverything It is if you are getting over run! So where is your Solution(s) MEDIA? You all have all the answers apparently..........lets Go - come on - Oh that's right, no Left if it's not Negative, it's not News.

PostEverything I'm going to eat Mexican today, and speak to my good friends, Hector and Gloria. Trumpers, what are some of your favorite Mexican restaurants, you eat at?

PostEverything Wrong again....

PostEverything Obama used it for aid the OTHER countries..Trump should be able to use it for his own. Why is the media NOT talking to BPS. In the open areas? NM is getting really bad.

PostEverything can a us citizen explain to me if you do not want all that problems with your president, why did you choose him or have such gaps in the laws?

PostEverything ProfJDickinson Oh, really

PostEverything You’re WRONG again... for heavens sake...does anyone research at that toilet paper rag?

PostEverything Ignorant Trumpers actually think that millions are coming, armed with guns and knives. You can't get any dumber than that. Invasion, are you kidding?

PostEverything I can't wait for Our President to declare a national emergency... cuz I want to watch all you snowflakes Fall Apart

PostEverything wapo if you don't agree with the President that only proves it is the right thing to do.

PostEverything Obviously Trump never meant a concrete wall, look at all those prototypes of steal slats in this thumbnail photo.

PostEverything It was never intended to be used for a 'political emergency'....to help get a candidate re-elected.

PostEverything no, it never had to be. Our elected officials used to care bout protecting US citizens. That is no longer the case. The Democratic Party is for open borders and that will be the end of the US.

PostEverything A clear abuse of presidential power .

PostEverything You mean it was meant for something like a foreign invasion? ...an invasion...of foreigners...from another country? I think this is EXACTLY why POTUS has emergency powers. When the constitution was written, it was the Canadian border they were worried about.

PostEverything We know.

PostEverything LindseyGrahamSC and all the experts at Fox says it is Whites Only signs will be going back up soon

PostEverything So that's where $5billion dollars is going?...Get me a bulldozer.

PostEverything I thought liberals believed in ' living and breathing ' interpretation of texts?!

PostEverything Just remember how the wall concept came to fruition and why---chat with Roger Stone.

PostEverything I hate those special powers Acts for the Office of the President. It's so anti democratic.

PostEverything Just like birth right citizenship was never meant for illegal aliens. BuildTheWall

PostEverything But if Trump can get this in front of one of his judges, there could be a ruling to go ahead and waste money until it hit the Supreme Court.

PostEverything yes it was and is

PostEverything When we have a Democrat for President and she can't get Congress to approve gun control legislation, and she declares a national emergency to seize all privately owned guns - don't start crying the blues

PostEverything Exactly, the Chinese had THAT technology 1000’s years ago but Everyone knows Something is Always better than Nothing... Silly Americans

PostEverything Correction: the National Emergencies act should be used to shut down propaganda like this.

PostEverything Misuse and abuse of power is not a new game for this president

PostEverything Executive Orders we’re never meant for creating things like DACA, yet here we are.

PostEverything He doesn't care.

PostEverything Yes it was

What The Raise The Wage Act Could Mean For WomenLegal and labor economic groups are following the new Raise The Wage Act closely because they believe it has the power to significantly improve economic security and workplace safety for working women. Here's why they believe this piece of legislation is so significant. The idea is to get people with lesser skills on the ladder, not turn them away. Do not let the minimum wage keep you from working.
