The attempt (going on two years now) to de-legitimize him because he wasn't the establishment's pick should not be something anyone tries to further, regardless of their politics or opinion on the man. It sets a dangerous precedent that we, the people, don't deserve a say in choosing our elected leaders. That's the end game with all this. Expand I don't agree that just because he was elected he is beyond reproach. If the dude uses false numbers and narratives tonight, the 25th should be immediately invoked( i think I have that correct). My disdain for the man has nothing to do with him being anti establisjhment..it is his moral compass On 1/8/2019 at 9:45 PM, DC Tom said: No. Because Trump does not know fantasy from reality. More than anything he's likely to use false numbers believing they're true. Expand You, i have never thought of it that way...another reason to use the Article?

No one else called for their heads. The point is the narrative from day one has been he's not a legitimate POTUS. Partisans support that view, without thinking through the consequences. He was legally elected. He's POTUS. Trying to remove him every day for invented scandals (like this one) or outright coup attempts (Russia Collusion), is dangerous to the country and proves to the establishment that we don't really deserve nor want a say in our elected officials.

I was half jokingly trying to make the point though that if he does it tonight..with the whole country watching, and cheat sheets put out, and Dems saying he will use lie and mistruths, and some pundits saying they should air later to have time to fact check(admittedly they are idiots)......if he does it in the face of all that.......his intelligence level and fitness for office has to be questioned no?

Expand The track records of just the past two administrations disagree with you.

billsfan89 Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 IF Trump is evoking his emergency powers to appropriate funds for a wall its a non-starter as it will get challenged in court and take years to get resolved. So I can't see it going anywhere.
IDBillzFan Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Holy cow. I can't believe how insanely the left is melting down about Trump's address tonight. It's incredible. How do you leftists have the ability to throw a perpetual hissy fit AND still find time to eat right and exercise? Never in my adult life have I seen an entire political party SO afraid of one man. 2

Expand Thank you. Finally, an honest liberal broker speaks here. Your moral compass can handle your own guy lying and spinning, but gets out of whack when someone else's guy lies and spins. Classic squeeze play in American political theater. Solve the border crisis, save some lives, he can dress up as Evita Peron and sing "Dont cry for me Argentina" and I'm ok with it.

Passepartout Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 Pelosi, Schumer, and the President himself are attention seekers as well as playing mean spirited is the way to go these days. Sadly this is what the world comes to. 1
