If Trump declares a national emergency based on the "invasion" of "caravans" across

our southern border, that would seem to me to be an ANOTHER impeachable "abuse of power." The reasons that this is NOT an abuse of power are too numerous and obvious for me to bore you with. A reputable court will have to struggle to avoid laughing in his face when this is challenged.

And it's frightening all the new 'emergency' powers that he'd grab. Hitleresque to say the least. We may be without hope if he goes all the way. You know he wants to.

Gonna have to have some really fast setting concrete to meet the emergency. Can concrete trucks travel faster than the amazing cars filled with duct-taped women?

A nation of what, about 340 million people should be terrified of the less than 10,000 that want to come over the border and disperse across the country to build better, productive American futures for themselves and their children.
