@TrishaElizbi5 Yes, it’s a tool, but it’s not unlimited authority. Courts have already invalidated or limited uses of emergency and military authority they found unlawful. A national emergency doesn’t let a President ignore the Constitution or Congress…
@TrishaElizbi5 Name one openly communist member of Congress or one major party candidate currently running for federal office. Just one. I’ll be waiting.
@TrishaElizbi5@LightOnLiberty If he can “do anything he pleases,” cite the constitutional provision or federal law that gives a president legislative power during a national emergency. Article I vests legislative power in Congress. You can’t cite it because it doesn’t exist.
@jehovahjirehLG@TrishaElizbi5@LightOnLiberty What does that have to do with the discussion? We’re talking about whether emergency powers let a president bypass Congress, and you pivoted to campaign slogans. Explain what you’re talking about.
@Marilee1980@NaClDroog@kapla1_kaplan@honeymoon250 You said you’re REALLY interested, so here you go… Medicare drug price negotiations, infrastructure investment, CHIPS Act, reproductive rights, and student debt relief. Which one do you want to discuss? There are plenty more as well. What has Trump done so far?
@CFHbonesaW@NaClDroog@kapla1_kaplan@honeymoon250 When did I mention “socialism”? Point it out. Point to where I attacked capitalism. You can’t. Why? Because you’re arguing with a strawman instead of what I wrote. 🤦♂️
@BuzzPatterson@PeteHegseth It’s funny how the party that talks nonstop about free speech suddenly wants punishment when someone criticizes their guy. Snowflakes.
@TrishaElizbi5@LightOnLiberty You people keep acting like “national emergency” means “the President can ignore the Constitution.” That’s not how it works. We still have separation of powers. Read a civics book…or watch Schoolhouse Rock. 4th graders have a better understanding than you.
@NaClDroog@kapla1_kaplan@honeymoon250 She’s a lawyer, former prosecutor, former District Attorney, former California Attorney General, former U.S. Senator, former Vice President… You can hate her politics all you want, but “retarded” is about the weakest argument you could’ve come up with. What’s your resume?
@kapla1_kaplan@honeymoon250 Josh Shapiro was vetted for her VP in 2024. I think Harris shouldn’t run if I have to be honest. The bad taste is still in the mouth of many.
