Trump's 'National Emergency' Is a Purely Dictatorial Action
It is an abuse of power. It is an assault on Congress's Article I powers. Mitch McConnell is complicit.

I am now convinced that there is absolutely no action that the president* could take that Mitch McConnell would not endorse. I don't want to hear about how mad McConnell was that Trump submarined him on the negotiations, the collapse of which led to the government shutdown. On Thursday afternoon, after infuriating Chuck Grassley by interrupting him, McConnell carried the message to the country from the White House that the president* would sign the latest funding bill, thereby certifying a monumental failure of his presidency*.

However, McConnell also told the country that, having done so, the president* would declare a national emergency and start moving money around to build his big, beautiful, stupid wall. So McConnell managed to get the president*'s permission for the Senate to do its job, as long as the Senate declares its complicity in his deepest and most beloved fantasy. Leadership!

Between Thursday afternoon and Friday morning, most of the Republicans seem to have made a kind of peace with the inevitability of the president*'s behaving like a tinhorn. We should be accustomed to this by now. The president* is going to raid the military. He is going to raid drug interdiction money. He is going to take money appropriated for one purpose and finance his own dark visions. He is lost in his own nightmares, abandoned in his own bigotry. His mind is a writhing ball of snakes. And there is nobody there to stop him. As Starbuck said of Ahab, he is a madman begetting other madmen. His speech was incoherent in thought, contemptuous of intellect, insane with bloodlust, and completely detached from anything that would be recognizable as reality even in Bedlam. Centuries after we ran a mad king off these shores, we now have one of our own.

This is a bill in response to nothing. This is a bill passed in order to address a delusion that the president* has shared with his most fervent supporters. There is no national emergency on the southern border. There isn't going to be a national emergency on the southern border, unless this president* has some other big, beautiful stupid ideas on how to boot brown people out of the country. Everybody voting on this bill knows all of this very well. The entire United States government has been placed in a freight car on the trolley that runs to the Neighborhood of Make Believe.

Trump's Campaign and McConnell's Leadership PAC,had similiar sources.

2. In all fairness to McConnell it's not just his job onthe line

but also his wifes. I don't know if he has any other relatives on the payroll but if you grift you got to protect it.
