Declaring Emergencies, Apoplectically, Falsely (D.E.A..F.)

WHEN YOU DECLARE AN EMERGGENCY, it is because an emergency already exists, and in most cases has suddenly appeared, unexpected. It is a situation that is currently taking place, and you are aware of. If you promise to declare an emergency at some specific future date, but not now, obviously no emergency currently exists, but you have reason to believe that one will manifest, at some specific future date, one which does not yet exist, but which you are somehow able to foresee. Therefore no emergency exists on America's southern border, and has not existed throughout the Trump administration because otherwise the president would already have declared and dealt with it, or if one existed throughout his presidency, is negligent in having failed to deal with it during the two years he has ben in office. The fact that the president's own words prove that he is lying about a national emergency is alarming, because either he does not understand the transparency and obvious fatal flaw in his reasoning, or he does not care. Either possibility is extremely worrisome. If on February fifteenth he takes this dubious step, it will quite obviously be an abuse of executive power; the fabricate an emergency for the purpose of implementing a policy objective, in this case the construction of the legendary but nonexistent Great Wall of Trump, a clear breach of presidential constitutional authority, would merit investigation, and further the already strengthening case for impeachment charges to be brought against Trump. This would beyond doubt result in millions of lawsuits being filed against the president, and it seems certain that at least one of them would not be throw out of court, and would result in litigation which would place a stay order on Trump's declaration, and delay the Great Wall's construction well beyond Trump's time in office, and quite likely bring the project tumbling down, almost as if a trumpet blasé had been sounded, a priori. We already know that all Democrats, most independents, and a vast majority of the American people, who already oppose the wall and Trump's tactics heretofore to obtain it, would vehemently, vociferously uproar. it is widely speculated that a larger number of Republican lawmakers would oppose the declaration, for the precedent it would establish. there will be, probably sooner rather than later, a Democratic president. using precedent, we would then face the very real possibility of having an emergency declared to fight climate change, which, by the way is a real emergency, here and now, or a declaration of emergency concerning gun violence, which is also a very real present time emergency resulting in mass confiscation of firearms. Another possibility is a democratic declaration of an emergency to end mass poverty and homelessness, once again, a situation which already exists, and can and perhaps should receive an emergency response. That response could, under an declared emergency, consist of the immediate imposition of wealth taxes on the wealthy, and the confiscation and redistribution of their precious, traditionally hoarded wealth. That vast hordes of hungry mothers and their children are arriving at the southern border is quite obviously a far less threat to the existence and well being of the United States than any of the other situations just mentioned. the only emergency taking place on the southern border is being created daily by the refusal of the Trump administration to offer the necessary assistance to desperate asylum seeking refugees, whose desperation is not, repeat is not, of their own making. These people are victims, not criminals. There is one fact we can bank on with absolute certainty. That the Trump administration, and his conservative Republican supporters will willingly, eagerly create an emergency to justify cruel, racist policies, but will never be counted on to properly address real emergencies, which exist in the real world, outside the realm of their twisted, nefarious, criminally insane minds.
