"SNIP.....

Jonathan Swan: “Nobody knew it was coming, nobody knew how to handle it, and a week later, senior White House officials have their fingers crossed that the president won’t turn their week upside-down once again with another tweet about a Fox and Friends segment. As the week has unfurled, people inside and outside the White House described to me how a few pokes of a keyboard by the leader of the free world sent some of Washington’s most powerful political players scrambling for cover.”

“In at least one conversation with senior aides and another discussion with an outside ally, Trump entertained the idea of declaring a state of emergency in Baltimore — an extraordinary action that would potentially open up new federal powers and funding… The idea would be to say that the living conditions in Baltimore were unacceptable and that people were suffering because their Democratic representatives let them down. So Trump would take action to fix things.”

“Trump also discussed declaring a state of emergency in other cities controlled by Democrats, including San Francisco and Detroit.”

1. Abuse of office.

He must RESIGN NOW!

[sharedvalues]

9. He will keep abusing office till he is stopped.

Mueller did not stop him.
The DOJ is compromised.
The Supreme Court is compromised.
The Senate is compromised.

Democrats must make the case for impeachment. Hold daily hearings in the House about every aspect of his corruption and criminality.

And while they’re at it, investigate the Republican billionaires that support Republicans and keep Trump in office.
First, investigate Rupert Murdoch.

18. When Trump accepted the GOP nomination:

When Trump accepted the GOP nomination:

"I have a message for all of you: the crime and violence that today afflicts our nation will soon come to an end," he said. "Beginning on January 20th, 2017, safety will be restored."

16. Martial.

Not marshal.

[Thekaspervote]

15. I could be wrong, but to call for a ntl emergency which would require troops, has to be requested

By city or state officials. This was discussed at length here and other sites when he first illegally took office with all the threats towards Chicago

[GulfCoast66]

17. Well that would be fun. What's he going to do?

Call out the National Guard! Which the Maryland Governor would refuse to allow? And would actively block.

I used to dislike our federal system with the states having so much power. Not I see the founders were not totally off base. If we were like France with an all powerful central government, we would already see troops on our streets.
