Trump floats circumventing Congress to maintain control of DC police

[Rawley]

The Constitution is so pesky

Good thing the courts will not make Trump follow it

The COnstitution?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

The COnstitution?

Yeah, it tells you what you can and can't do. Yeah, it is pesky that way.

in 200 years…

No other President found it necessary

You're point is pointless.

Obama ignored it and you idiots cheered him.

And? You were headed down the path of Trump not acting Constitutionally. That’s not the case.

Trump is acting like an autocrat
Creating imaginary crisis to expand his power

“Trump on Wednesday suggested that he could avoid congressional approval to extend his 30-day federal takeover of Washington’s police, amid his efforts to wrest control of the capital’s law enforcement.”

Of course he does – Trump is an authoritarian despot and fascist thug, an enemy of democracy, the rule of law, and the Constitution.

Grow up.

Here is what the President said:

“If it’s a national emergency we can do it without Congress, but we expect to be before Congress very quickly,” Trump said.

He's explaining the law, almost certainly as his legal advisers explained it to him.

Is it a true statement or not?

Big Balls getting beaten up by a girl does not create a national emergency

Do you live in DC? It is not an imaginary crisis. Born, raised, and doing work in DC I can confirm that Home Rule is a failure and the city needs to be run by the Federal Government. I’ve said this regardless of who is in the White House.

And you are wrong, as usual.

Until you provide facts or other validation, it is you who are wrong. First, have you ever lived in or near DC? What is your basis for your position?

Go Trump

Family living in DC. Visting DC several times a year for some years.

Trump is not you answer. He is such a loser that he is 38% popularity now.

Anchorage did not help him.

Until recent decades, it wasn't necessary ... since then, President Trump is the first President who cared enough to do anything about it.

 

[Billiejeens]

Lol..Democrats were given four years to end Trump once and for all.

They tried
Repeatedly

 

[Billiejeens]

You're point is pointless.

He's just a troll
All of his points are pointless.

 

[Billiejeens]

Go Trump

Oh
And slow horses is a clown troll

I guess you are right

When Big Balls got the snot beat out of him by a girl, Trump had to step in and do something

Trump is proposing Feds take over DC. That means Kamala or AOC could be the next President and I would still take Feds running DC over the failed Home Rule.
