I watched President Trump's national address about the situation on our Southern border this evening (January 8, 2019) and I must admit I was somewhat disappointed. Obama had this country under national emergency from 2012-2016 and unless Mr. Trump declares a new national emergency over our border situation that will super-cede and therefore replace Obama's national emergency decrees then we will continue to be under a national emergency decree handed to us by Comrade Obama.
I had hoped Mr. Trump would do this in this evening's speech but he did not. He is going to give Congress yet one more golden opportunity to vote money for his border wall. I think he's kidding himself. This current socialist-dominated House of Representatives has already told him to go fish as far as funding his border wall and yet here he comes, back to them with the same identical request and he hopes that, somehow, this time their reaction will be different.
You've all seen the comment about the man who keeps doing the same failed thing over and over and over and yet each time he redoes it he thinks the result will be somehow different than it was the last time--and it never is--and he can't quite figure out why. I don't know if that's where Mr. Trump is or not, but you have to wonder.
I tried to update this once and it wouldn't take it so lets try again. Check out www.infowars.com for 1/9 and see the article about Trump no longer effectively being the President because the Deep State flunkies in Washington are countermanding all the directives he puts out there. Soft coup???
Update: Check out www.infowars.com for 1/9, specifically the article on Trump no longer being effectively the President because the Deep State flunkies in the Swamp are countermanding every order he puts out there. #Alex Jones
It has taken him two years to get some of the Deep State operatives out of his administration and he has by no means gotten rid of all of them. They infest his administration and they pass up no chance whatever to countermand his agenda on important issues. He decides to pull troops out of Syria and Afghanistan and bring them home and almost the very next day someone in the Pentagon decides he can't do that and so they walk back his directives. We can only wait and see what he does with that situation. I hope he doesn't just ignore it and hope it goes away--because it won't.
If too much of this sort of thing continues then the electorate that voted for Trump will begin to wonder just what is going on and why and that will make it more difficult for him in 2020. If Mr. Trump thinks he is going to placate his adversaries by "being nice" then he is dreaming. That will never happen. When he defeated Saint Hillary in 2016 he erased all possibilities of that for ever. If he got down on his knees before them and groveled they would still spit in his eye. Those people don't know how to forgive and the word "charity" was never in their vocabulary. They have one agenda--to turn this country into a third world socialist paradise and if they have to shaft the American people to do that, why that's just great by them. Seeing that so many of us failed to vote for "Madame President" it's only what we deserve, right? Of course if we had voted for her we'd have gotten the same thing!
Obama worked mightily at that but couldn't quite bring it off and so he was forced to pass the baton along to Madame President, except she wasn't quite up to the task of catching it so Trump got it instead. He has done some good things, but I get the feeling that when it comes to indicting Hillary and Company for the whole Uranium One scam he just doesn't have the heart for it. In fact, I get the impression that Hillary and Company are going to end up walking and never have to pay for their crimes in this life. Her payment for her political "indiscretions" will come in the next life, after she departs from this life and her final Judge will be one she cannot bribe or scare--and then she will pay the full price.
In the meantime I am not sure what Mr. Trump will do about his border wall and our national security, but whatever it is, it would appear he is not quite ready to do it yet.
