okay i'm going to tie this all together

the conservative media obsession with the Green New Deal being THE REAL DEMOCRATIC AGENDA reminds me of how there was like a week back in the day where they all wrote articles/blog posts/etc. about Kucinich's Department of Peace idea being the MAINSTREAM OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, I think NRO had like fifteen blog posts about it and how it was support for Saddam and his 9/11 allies

Similar to the fear that Obama would reinstate the Fairness Doctrine.

Also the United Nations Millenium Development Goals meant the US was going to fork over hundreds of billions of dollars in new foreign aid.

And a ton of Republican operatives apparently thought impeaching Trump was going to be the first item on the agenda Democrats took the House.

"The film shines a light on a time when thousands of Americans fell under the spell of a demagogue who attacked the press and scapegoated minorities using the symbols of American patriotism," Night at the Garden director Marshall Curry said in a statement to THR.

He added, "It’s amazing to me that the CEO of Fox News would personally inject herself into a small ad buy just to make sure that Hannity viewers weren’t exposed to this chapter of American history.”

I mean, it doesn't. The whole thing is based around white people getting shook because the demographics in America are changing and migration across the southern border is a big part of that. Of course, it's already too late for Texas, where non-Hispanic whites will soon be [or have already been] passed up by Latinos/Hispanics.

Every nation has a right to sovereignty and borders. But when you dress it up as a racial issue that's when I disagree. Building a wall is fine. We've done it before. Illegal immigration isn't exactly chocolate and rainbows and I don't support it. At the same time, the need for it this is also completely overstated. El Paso, one of the main cities in this mess, is completely absolved from the fear mongering due to its lower than average population index crime rate and yet this racialized fear mongering continues. Be against illegal immigration all you want, but national emergency? Using funds for helping Ameriacan in time of need? What kind of fuckery is this? Does Trump really think this will be a popular move?

This man has got to go.

"Funding bill and national emergency give Trump and Democrats a clean slate to work together!"
JOHN BOOT - Trump and the Democrats can finally bury their battle axes (sorry Warren!) now that the migration issue has been solved. It is true that Trump has used near dictatorial powers to build his promised border wall, however this means that the issue of migration that has kept Washington in gridlock is finally off the table and Trump and the Democrats can start working together in earnest! The White House already signaled this week that it was ready to work with house Democrats to advance a common agenda. "After the Green Deal Drama and the Wall we can finally move on with priorities that matter to the American people." a person in the administration texted us. "Next week is infrastructure , all infrastructure . It's going to be great to watch the parties work together to make america great again just you wait.". Democrats we spoke to were not ready to celebrate just yet but they see steps towards compromise. "If the President is serious about infrastructure there is certainly common ground for us there" Chuck Schumer told our reporter.

So you are going to use the immediacy powers of a national emergency declaration to.....get bogged down in weeks, months, and years worth of bureaucratic wrangling and litigation over eminent domain claims?

it's all a farce. Whatever logistics prevent the wall from actually being feasible don't matter at all here. All he cares about is that he "kept his campaign promise to his base" and Nintex. Placating his base, like Nintex here, is all that matters.

People fall that garbage. hook, line qnd sinker. I hear randos all the time saying stuff like "you gotta hand it to the President, he's doing exactly what he said he would do."

Trump is an expert not in doing the things he said he'd do but making it look like he did the things he said he'd do.

In some cases his administration even forgets things they started such as the Kushner Middle East peace plan, joint cyber intelligence unit with Russia or making Kellyanne the czar to combat the opioid crisis.
Somewhere out there in Brussels an EU trade delegation is waiting for Trump to remember that they were supposed to make a deal on car tariffs and military planners are still waiting on the official word on the postponed parade.

The boycot on Qatar will probably not be lifted until the next President.

The weird thing with Trump is that he's actually doing what he was elected to do.

The only thing of his insane ramblings Trump didn't do was re-invade Iraq to take their oil and lock up Hillary Clinton.
Everything else, for better for worse turned into policies, executive orders and laws.

The national emergency thing is super dumb and in all likelihood will be tied up in courts forever.

There is A huge hole in his national emergency argument around the definition of “national defense structures around whether or not the wall is even able to be built under emergency powers.

The answer is probably no.

I love how Trump is trying to convince his base the wall is being built but no one believes him, even though his base believes in so much other bullshit.

Trump is never going to get his wall.

Yeah, I feel like we are just cycling through a never ending series of obviously contradictory narratives that his base clearly has no interest in confronting. Likely because(totally original hot take alert) it's not really about the wall but the cult of personality, fascist comfort of his rhetoric, and the underlying racial animus that his base is in it for.

Looking into the future here is what will happen.

1) trump will eventually win over th question of whether or not he can call this a national emergency
2) at the same time, trump will lose over whether or not he gets to call the “wall” a “military construction project”

Everyone will claim victory. Trump will stretch that 1.5 billion to build the wall at 10 feet per month and constantly tweet about how the wall is being built, but he will lie about how quickly.
