Trump Is The Constitutional Crisis
So after months of teasing it, months of threatening it,
months of wondering if or when he would do it, he finally did it.
Narcissist President Donald Trump has declared a “national
emergency” over funding for his ego-wall.
Why? Because he can’t
get the funding he demands.
Not from Mexico. From
us. From the taxpayers.
Because after he initiated a partial government shutdown –
which he previously said that he would do proudly and that would own and then
tried to blame it on the one party that had no political power at the time –
and after weeks of negotiations after he reopened the government, the most he
could get was a pittance of what he originally wanted, and it would be for a
few miles of fencing. Not a wall. And certainly not the ocean-to-ocean concrete
ego-wall monument that he dreams about while spending “executive time” on his
golden toilet.
Narcissist Trump has declared a “national emergency” so he
could override Congress – the sole authority as per the U.S. Constitution when
it comes to the budget – and move funds from other departments to pay for his
ego-wall, which he has told his base that he
is already building.
Normally when there is a “national emergency,” there is
something that you can actually point to as justification. The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001
immediately come to mind. The
devastation of Hurricane Katrina, which actually caused gas and oil shortages
nationwide, comes to mind. Massive multistate
wildfires come to mind.
What is Narcissist Trump’s “emergency”? The only things that he can draw on to
justify his “emergency” are anecdotal crimes as reported by Fox News, his
unofficial propaganda firm straight out of the fears of George Orwell, and
scenes from an ultra-violent
movie that you can see on HBO!
Talk about “Wag the Dog”! This is “Wag the Dog” on crack-coated
steroids sprinkled with LSD!
Oh, and the other reason for his “emergency” is that he is a
loser and a failure as a “master deal-maker”.
He couldn’t get his ego-wall money even after having two years of
uncontestable control of the Congress.
He couldn’t get Mexico to pay for his ego-wall, even after claiming it
would be “so easy, so easy” to get it.
He couldn’t bully the Democrats to give him the money, even after
shutting down key parts of the government.
So all that he could get after all that drama was a deal that was worse
than the one he rejected in December before shutting down the government.
Oh, and because those “mean people” were picking on him for
it. He was being ridiculed and mocked
because the so-called “master deal-maker” put himself in a situation that made
him look bad. He could either sign the
bill passed by Congress to keep the government funded and piss off his base, or
he could shut the government down yet again and have everyone pissed off at him
again. Oh what a problem for Widdle
Donnie! His widdle reputation got a
boo-boo! Now everyone knows that he’s not
the “master deal-maker” that he’s been pretending to be.
That is his “emergency”.
It’s an emergency that exists only in his head.
Narcissist Trump’s own people cannot support his
“emergency”. Statistics
from his own people show the exact opposite of what Trump claims is
going on at the border. Congressman Will
Hurd, a member of the GOP whose district covers most of the Texas border with
Mexico, has
publicly said that Narcissist Trump’s “crisis” is a myth. All nine representatives whose districts
cover the Mexican border have said as much!
Two state governors have recalled their National Guard troops from the
border after Trump had sent them there to stop a “horde” that only existed
during the 2018 mid-term elections and then conveniently vanished after the
elections ended.
For months now, people have been wringing their hands over
whether or not Narcissist Trump would put us in a so-called “constitutional
crisis”.
Let’s get brutally honest here… Narcissist President Donald
Trump did not put us “in” a constitutional crisis.
Narcissist President Donald Trump *is* the constitutional
crisis.
We now have a president who has assumed power he did not
have under the United States Constitution to seize funds that he could not
otherwise get through bullying and negotiating to fund an ego-driven project to
appease his minority base and his own narcissistic dreams. And he is using stories from a biased
so-called “news service” owned by a tabloid publishing company along with a
low-value crime-drama premium cable movie as the justification for it.
The real challenge is putting him back in check.
The supposed “normal” way is for Congress to pass a bill
rescinding Narcissist Trump’s declaration.
It would have to get past both the House of Representatives and the
Senate. Good luck on the latter. That side of the Congress is under the siege
of a slack-jawed turtle-dick sociopath who only cares about his own power. A failure of a man who thinks that letting
Americans vote is a “power grab”. And
even if they can get it past him and pass the Senate, Narcissist Trump would
then veto it. And I seriously doubt
Congress would have the wherewithal for a two-thirds vote to override it. And Narcissist Trump knows this.
But there is another way as stated in the U.S. Constitution
to call Narcissist Trump to account.
Impeachment.
The House of Representative can bring articles of
impeachment against Narcissist Trump.
Because assuming funds that you have no authority to take
for your own purposes is a crime. It is
called embezzlement.
The residents of Dixon, Illinois, know this kind of crime
all-too-well. Their comptroller, Rita
Crundwell, had
been stealing millions from the city for years to fund her personal
project, her prized horse farms. It was
tax revenue that was taken from vital government services to pay for her vanity
and ego. Roads and sidewalks could not
be fixed because of her vanity and ego.
Emergency equipment could not be purchased because of her vanity and
ego. City workers could not get raises
because of her vanity and ego. Year-in-and-year-out
she went before the city and she told the city that there was an “emergency”
that required them to continue to cut funding for things the city needed… and
all so she could secretly fund her horse farms.
Crundwell went to prison for almost twenty years for her embezzlement of
$54 million.
No different than Narcissist Trump’s so-called “emergency”. That money is being taken from essential services
to fund his vanity and his ego.
The House of Representatives do not have to wait for the
Senate to take action on this. They
don’t have to wait for Robert Muller to finish his report or worry if
Narcissist Trump would stop it. They
have an actual criminal act that they can bring articles of impeachment on that
was carried out with the whole world to see.
They can charge him with embezzlement.
Impeachment is not a one-time-only card. There is no set limit to the number of times
the House can bring articles of impeachment against the President. The House can pass articles of impeachment
against the President, and the United States Senate is then obligated under the
U.S. Constitution to bring those articles to trial. No slack-jawed turtle-dick power-whore can
stop that. And even if the Senate
acquits Narcissist Trump, he would still have a stain on his tenure as
President that only two other people in history had… and one of them was Bill
Clinton over lying under oath about oral sex!
Then he could never claim to be the “best president ever in the history
of America if not the world”. He would
only be one of the worst.
When America’s Constitutional Convention had finished
crafting the Constitution in 1787, a woman had approached Benjamin Franklin and
asked what they had created. Franklin’s
response was supposedly “A republic, if you can keep it.” It is that challenge that is upon us now. The course is clear. The only question is whether or not those in
office will have the courage to take it.
