It's Happening - The MSM Has Given Trump The Green Light To Call It A National Emergency.....

Listening to Hardball now the consensus is that Trump's only way out of this corner he backed himself into is to invoke a National Emergency. They are saying that Trump would come out looking good if he did.

They are basically in the process of normalizing Trump's behavior as an autocrat in this situation and green lighting him to do it.

So everytime Trump pushes the crazy envelope - the MSM let him get away with things and normalize his behavior.

Sorry folks - this democracy is on a pathway to demise.

They are egging him on to do this just like they hyped up that "red line" garbage, when there is no red line.

They want the ratings!

As a good move for the traitor in the oval. I wish I could say I am stunned, but I'm not.

Sit in at their offices. Talk to local resistance groups and urge them to up their game. I belong to several activist orgs and am seeing zero leadership from them. The revolution is not going to be tweeted.

his move is challenged in court and thrown out, Don's new talking point is he tried, but the "deep state" stopped him. He's a toddler who must be cajoled.

The only tv news I regularly watch is Rachel and Lawrence. Is this something from one segment on Mathews or are all other shows also indicating this?
