February 15th<\/sup> 2019<\/i><\/p>\n

I usually don\u2019t watch Trump on TV any more. It\u2019s not just because he\u2019s a vile jerk and a jackass\u2014after all, I watched George Bush the lesser for eight years\u2014but because he is so fundamentally dishonest the only way you\u2019ll actually learn anything is if he has an unguarded moment and blurts out a truth of some sort.<\/p>\n

Yeah, stopped clock and all that. Even the blind nut finds a squirrel.<\/p>\n

Sure enough, Trump committed a MUT\u2014Moment of Unintentional Truth, when he blurted out, \u201cI could do the wall over a longer period of time. I didn\u2019t need to do this, but I\u2019d rather do it much faster.\u201d<\/p>\n

OK, so it\u2019s not actually an emergency. It wasn\u2019t an emergency for the first two years Trump was in office, and with nothing materially changing on the border in the month since, still isn\u2019t an emergency. The only thing that made it an emergency was Congress changed hands, and Trump wanted to blame the Democrats for not getting his wall. But Trump has put it in terms that no court or Congressman can ignore: as an \u201cemergency,\u201d this is pure bullshit.<\/p>\n

Ann Coulter, now the moral compass of the GOP, had her own MUT when she blurted during a radio interview, \u201cThe only national emergency is that our president is an idiot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another blind nut, another squirrel. Will wonders ever cease?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure Ann has her own reasons for hating Trump, and I\u2019m equally sure those reasons reside in an utterly alien universe, but it is sort of fun watching her and Trump get in a pissing match. Two baboons, feces at five feet. Duel of the century, folks. Gitcher popcorrn here.<\/p>\n

As mentioned, I watched Trump for as long as I could stomach it. It was hilarious in the way that Rufus T. Firefly was hilarious, or Charlie Chaplin as The Great Dictator. Except this is real. Ann\u2019s idiot, burdened with dementia and underlying personality disorders, is the most powerful man on the planet, militarily speaking, with the ability to kill us all.<\/p>\n

But, overlooking his ability to ruin or end your life, it was pretty funny.<\/p>\n

He spent a fair bit of time praising Rush Limbaugh, pass<\/i>\u00e9<\/i><\/span> radio demagogue, for his ability to speak for three hours straight without taking a phone call. Apparently being able to rant for hours at a time is considered a virtue with Trump. Certainly some leaders have been noted for it: Fidel Castro, Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini all spring to mind. Limbaugh is only fair-to-middling long-winded by radio gasbag standards who are free to repeat themselves endlessly and make stuff up for the edification of their audience, whose IQs are generally measured in units of birdseed.<\/p>\n

Trump claimed (falsely) that drugs flowed freely over the border in those areas where there is no wall. Since most drugs come in by plane or through border crossings, that\u2019s sort of true, but Trump wants to stop drugs from flowing into the country, he says. To that end, of the $8 billion he wants to steal for his vanity project, $2.5 billion would come from the Pentagon\u2019s drug interdiction program.<\/p>\n

Very good, Donald. Next, you can shut down the IRS in order to pay for a committee on tax cheating.<\/p>\n

Trump admits that his declaration would do poorly in the courts, comparing it to his fatwa against Islamic immigrants. It would lose in the ninth, and then the appeals (he got the order reversed, of course, but “We’ll end up in the Supreme Court and hopefully get a fair shake and win in the Supreme Court just like the ban.” Yup, you have two partisan hacks who owe you in the Court.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s unlikely to even make it to the courts.<\/p>\n

The House will take it up, probably today, and will probably pass a resolution negating the Declaration of Emergency in the following days next week. Already, Democratic congressionals are sidling up to their Republican counterpoints and whispering, \u201cSay, I can\u2019t wait for President Ocasio-Cortez to Declare a State of Emergency in order to make the Green New Deal the law of the land.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Republican\u2019s face turns white and his pants turn brown at the thought of such a demonic presidential power unleashed. 2018 taught them the ability to steal elections is not absolute, and public will can thwart corporate design.<\/p>\n

Most of them have already realized the only thing worse than having someone other than Trump as a candidate in 2020 is having Trump as a candidate in 2020. It\u2019s an offal thought.<\/p>\n

They will decide not to give Trump this power. I\u2019m guessing the resolution might get 350 votes.<\/p>\n

So it goes to the Senate, where Mitch McConnell can\u2019t simply kill it by refusing to let it come up for a vote. The law mandates open debate and a public vote on this sort of resolution within two weeks.<\/p>\n

Mitch had already crouched and urinated a profession of undying love for Trump and his Emergency declaration, so I\u2019m predicting that Mitch is going to have a really shitty time of it, especially since many Republicans are either unwilling to give any president a blank check like that, and\/or are thoroughly fed up with Trump and deeply apprehensive of what bizarre stunt he might come up with next.<\/p>\n

So Trump will claim the $1.4 billion he got for border security is far better than the $1.57 billion he was offered in December, and far better than the $8 billion he wanted. That boy spins like the Tasmanian Devil on meth.<\/p>\n

Winning is his! Medals for Everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
