John Dean "this is what an autocrat does in a democracy to create a dictatorship"

when asked about what trump is doing.

hard to believe that the 30% cult, with Coulter Hannity and Limbaugh playing Goebbels to brainwash the deplorables, will support this cretin no matter what.

Lawrence O'Donnell just reported it. Even she knows that declaring an emergency will go nowhere realistically. She is saying that we will now have open borders due to the votes and emergency declaration.
