    Today Trump claimed he will seize large swaths of land from private citizens at gunpoint and declare a “state of emergency” to build a wall without Congressional approval. In the face of tyranny, Republicans are outraged ... by a freshman Member of Congress using profanity.

        I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist...But, that part of his rose garden rambling was very unnerving. This is how martial law begins in authoritarian regimes. They are doing it for "your safety". #NoWall

        Renato question, this so called state of emergency could also keep him in power, correct,?

        There is no “emergency” that could lawfully permit a president to suspend elections or remain in power if another leader is elected.

        He could also declare himself King of no one stops him. Technically, he *can* do anything Congress lets him get away with. We shouldn't consider ourselves protected by our laws. The law only matters if it's enforced.

        I fear what may happen if he tries this but I think we all have an idea “deep down in places we don’t talk about at parties.”

        Is that like seizing legally purchased rifle stocks or magazines with capacities greater than X rounds?

        Seems pretty obvious that one is not like the other, but at least you got to do your false equivalency exercise for today.

        At the core: Government seizing private property in both cases.
