Who claims the win on the wall?

[Michchamp]

I called Tulsi Gabbard?s office in DC about an hour ago, looking to join her campaign to win
the California Democratic primary. I was forwarded to a different number, got a message and I left a message for them.

Well, that's a little off topic, but great!

Not getting on the Bill Weld bandwagon?

Since the Democrat is going to win in California in the general election, I am more concerned about getting the best Democrat on the ballot.

If I lived in a state where the Republican was virtually assured to win in the general, my perspective might be different.

Gabbard's not inline enough with the establishment so some are trying to say she must be having Russian support sound familiar?

Yeah I’ve seen this.

She wants our military to leave Syria alone. Enough with these crazy Middle Eastern intervention shit.

That makes her an Israel hating Russian plant.

That’s why both Putin and David Duke love her.

Well, thing is...Tulsi Gabbard is the guy now.

David Duke Endorsrs Tulsi Gabbard for 2020.

An endorsement she of course promptly rejected:

Tulsa Gabbard Rejects David Duke Endorsement.

Reagan also rejected David Duke?s endorsement.

As I recall, Trump was kind of noncommittal about the whole thing.

Whether Trump is a racist himself or not, it certainly seems he did not want to alienate the racist to vote.

I don?t know what is in Tulsi Gabbard?s heart, but she really doesn?t much fit the typical profile of a white nationalist.

I don?t know how much of a barometer David Duke is on political candidates and their values.

EDIT: After his initial waffle, Trump apparently finally did reject David Duke?s endorsement.

Clearly, Tulsi Gabbard is racist because logic.

I should probably clarify my position, that not all Spartans use the word 'barbecue' when they are grilling hotdog. Some, I assume, understand the difference.

Hotdogs plural - only a Wolverine would be so cavalier about the environment to fire up a grill for one hotdog. The rest is absolutely true though and the impressive thing about Spartans is they don't have to move to North Carolina to learn the difference.

Spartans would just grill the hotdog over a burning couch.

Trump likely to prevail in border emergency: experts

(Reuters) - Democratic lawmakers, states and others mulling legal challenges to President Donald Trump’s national emergency declaration to obtain funds to build a U.S.-Mexico border wall face an uphill and probably losing battle in a showdown likely to be decided by the conservative-majority Supreme Court, legal experts said.

After being rebuffed by the U.S. Congress in his request for $5.7 billion to help build the wall that was a signature 2016 campaign promise, Trump on Friday invoked emergency powers given to the president under a 1976 law. The move, according to the White House, enables Trump to bypass lawmakers and redirect money already appropriated by Congress for other purposes and use it for wall construction.

Peter Shane, a professor at Ohio State University’s Moritz College of Law, said challenges to the emergency declaration could end up as a replay of the legal battle against Trump’s travel ban targeting people from several Muslim-majority nations. The Supreme Court last year upheld the travel ban after lower courts had ruled against Trump, with the justices giving the president deference on immigration and national security issues.

Trump has painted illegal immigration and drug trafficking across the border as a national security threat.

“Courts are reluctant to second-guess the president on matters of national security,” Shane said.

Democrats, state attorneys general and at least one advocacy group have vowed to take the Republican president to court over the declaration.

The Supreme Court has a 5-4 conservative majority that includes two justices appointed by Trump, Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch. Chief Justice John Roberts has emerged as the court’s swing vote, and the decision on the legality of Trump’s action could come down to him.

“The handwriting is on the wall here,” said Steven Schwinn, a professor at the John Marshall Law School in Chicago. “The Supreme Court is almost certain to uphold President Trump’s emergency.”

Legal experts said the 1976 law gives presidents vast discretion. Trump plans to redirect $6.7 billion in federal funds to pay for a wall, money that would come from a U.S. treasury forfeiture fund, a defense counter-drug program and the military construction budget.

“The odds favor the president by a significant majority,” George Washington University Law School professor Jonathan Turley said. “He has the authority to make the declaration and he has the money.”

But the administration’s defense of Trump’s action may not be a smooth ride. Lawsuits could delay the use of funds the president is planning to tap, and legal experts said the bulk of funds may be tied up for years.

Trump is running for re-election next year and a loss would mean his presidency ends in January 2021. It is possible the legal fight over the emergency declaration might not be resolved by then.

Trump likely to prevail in border emergency: experts

As far as slippery slope arguments go, this is a big one. If this emergency declaration works, we might be looking at a significant presidential power grab and intuitively, it will work against the republicans long term. How many things are there democrats want to spend money on they could just declare to be an emergency next time they get the chance?

i thought David Duke loved her because she is a racist...

I think her wanting to disengage in these wars with Islamic countries makes her anti-semetic in his mind.

I think Trump went off the white supremacist reservation in Duke?s mind with his embracement of Israel and Netanyahu.

Looks like Dems want to get representatives on the record on whether or not they support Trump's emergency declaration.

Only 1 Republican signed up to cosponsor the bill to stop Trump from acting on this emergency declaration: Justin Amash, Michigan grad.

He's literally the ONLY Republican I know of right now who is not a corporate stooge.



He was actually in my graduating class (but I didn't know him). Maybe we had a class together... I dunno.

Republicans vote 182 to 13 in support of Trump emergency declaration. Bad move long term. Very shortsighted.
