Nothing but emergencies

I swear, I will have to start using big nasty expletives soon trying to handle what is happening.

So Dear Leader has called out the National Guards in LA, claiming an emergency — a move that threatens to turn the LA protests into an actual emergency. California’s governor is suing tRump… But California shouldn't feel singled out about being labeled a state of emergency. Somehow, since inauguration day, everything is. Trump has declared more emergencies than a 911 dispatcher. We have an emergency at the border. We have an emergency in our economy. We have an energy emergency. Declaring these emergencies gives baby dictator increased executive powers to declare new policies like building walls, levying tariffs, and increasing fossil fuel production. If the emergencies escalate, he will too, possibly be invoking the Insurrection Act ("which would allow troops to directly participate in civilian law enforcement.") When are the ball-less elected officials in Congress going to find their spine and put a stop to that nonsense?! I feel like we are at a very dangerous inflection point…
