Well, if Trump has any "unforetold" plans up his sleeve, now is the time to see them through.


quote:

“We have very strong emergency powers under the Stafford Act,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday. “I have it memorized, practically, as to the powers in that act. And if I need to do something, I’ll do it. I have the right to do a lot of things that people don’t even know about.”

Chuck Schumer weighing in:

quote:

As other actions are considered, President Trump must not overstep his authority or indulge his autocratic tendencies for purposes not truly related to this public health crisis.

Why Chuck, what on Earth do you mean?!

He big scared.

___________

Here is a list someone has put together of 136 new "powers" afforded to the President now that he has declared a national emergency over this virus. Including potentially taking over the FCC (media beware...) Interesting reading for those interested.

While researching Media responsibility during national emergencies I stumbled upon something that absolutely blew me away during national emergencies the president acquires 136 power that were currently unavailable to him I’m going to provide you a list of those options (1)

We have traded a season of spring sports and activities for the realization that the health of future generations could be jeopardy by not having the capability to provide, in country, the medical supplies we need in pandemic situations. I would expect a move to remedy that problem post-haste, and if such remedy includes knocking a few F-35's off the purchase order, so be it.

That was a very nice thing to see, no doubt.

I'm curious about something he said in his announcement though. He said they'll be releasing a paper "in about 2 hours" (I took that as 5pm central time) with "additional steps. Very important steps" about all of this.

So in about an hour.

Good post. I expect Trump to handle this thing very well and set us up for success in the future as well.

Gotta balance that budget!

It was this first big-ticket manufacturing item I could come up with. The MIC has a stranglehold on Congress that will be hard to break in my lifetime, however does Lockheed really care if $135 million in revenue comes from one plane, or 135 high-tech MRI machines.

He's going to use some of this money to build more border wall, and the proggie-commies are going to start intentionally infecting themselves to prove him wrong

I have updated the thread to include a list of 136 additional "powers" granted to the President under this emergency declaration.

Broad powers. Including assuming control over the FCC (media beware...) Interesting reading for those interested.
