Omar: Next president to declare national emergency on climate change ‘on day 1’
By Tal Axelrod - 02/15/19 02:26 PM EST

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) called on the next president to declare a national emergency on climate change “on day 1” after President Trump made the same declaration to appropriate funds for a border wall.

“Our next President should declare a #NationalEmergency on day 1 to address the existential threat to all life on the planet posed by Climate Change,” Omar, an outspoken critic of Trump, tweeted Friday.

Moron.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

She's right, this is exactly what will happen.

[austingirl]

They'll need a bigger body count than illegal immigration causes and some actual evidence one would think.

[skeeter]

Cool. Then they can defend their actions in court, just like Trump will.

The American people can decide how they feel about the rats' stupid tit for tat game, given that it will undoubtedly destroy their standard of living.

Courts are still too packed with activist Liberals judges.  They'll let something like that stand while striking down what Trump is doing.

The next Dem president is going to do such a thing regardless of what President Trump does...and quite frankly...Trump's Declaration on the border is in no way synonymous with a Climate Change or Gun Control Declaration. Arguing that it is makes you silly...or a Democrat...which ARE synonymous.

[dfwgator]

Meh, they would have done it anyway, regardless of what Trump did.

[Bill Cipher]

And that same president will take all the money that Trump claimed was now dedicated to building his wall, and he or she will spend it on climate change priorities. 

So, at the end of the day, no wall and a new-found way for the democrats to rule without having to go through Congress, courtesy of Donald Trump. 

Now that is winning.  Bigley.  Hugely, even.

Beats rolling into a ball and sucking our thumbs.

I do believe Trump, as has everyone before him who has cared about this issue and wanted to do something about it, has exhausted just about every other means to accomplish what we all know needs to happen to divert the country from its current trajectory. I favor something over nothing.

You must be joking. Why didn't Trump do something about this while republicans had both houses of congress?

It's always 10 dimensional chess with you clowns.

Moron. Racist, Anti Semitic, moron

@austingirl

Not really. They have control over all the major print and broadcast news media,so I'd say they have it covered just by pushing more rumors.

@dfwgator

Bingo!

Seems to me like most of the time the Republicans most effective enemy are themselves because they start out with the idea they are going to lose,so why bother to try?

When you start out as a loser,what are you going to be when the smoke clears?

@Bill Cipher

You need remedial 3rd grade math. Once Trump spends the money building the wall,the money is no longer there for the Dims to spend.

AND.....,you are assuming the alleged Republicans will just roll over and play dead to let them get away with stealing more money from the treasury/US taxpayers. By the time Trump leaves office there just MIGHT be a few of them awaken to the idea that they do NOT have to surrender to the Dims and fight the bastards instead.

@Weird Tolkienish Figure

Mostly because the JEB/CRUZ/MITTENS whiney-ass alleged Republicans had their widdle feelings hurten over their personal crime lord traitor not being elected,so they wouldn't back him. Unless of course you think that means "stick a knife in his back". They were and are on board for that because he came in and upset apple carts it had taken them generations to establish.

@sneakypete

The money will still be there because the wall is gonna be tied up in the courts for the next two years.  So if he is not re-elected....

@Axeslinger

MAYBE,but it doesn't HAVE to be that way. All it would take would be for a federal appeal court to rule there is no standing to hold the money up since it was legally allocated.

[RetBobbyMI]

Moron.

She is, but more to the point...it could happen and nothing to stop the declaration. However, there’s no basis to divert funds in the laws for climate change as their is for security of our borders.

Except you know this going right to the Ninth Circus.  I agree it doesn’t have to be this way, but it’s exactly how it’s gonna be.

You're right they act on rumors and ignore evidence. That should be their motto.

[jpsb]

Paul Ryan, and his inaction cost us the House. Ryan did everything he could to depress GOP turn out.

[Sanguine]

This is so cynical on Ms. Omar's part - I can't imagine she gives a damn about our climate except in that she can use climate hysteria to continue to break down our country and western civilization in general.

Fully realizing your limitations I won't bother asking you to reread what I wrote.
