Well, someone told him that the time-slot is normally reserved for Law & Order probably. He might even start by mouthing the jail-door synth before starting.

redreader posted:IDK if this has been brought up here or not, but, what are the chances that trump will declare a state of emergency during the speech? It's a theatric thing to do. He's going to say 'emergency' a lot, 'lots of people are saying I should declare a state of emergency' and maybe even 'I intend to declare a state of emergency'. He's not going to actually fill out the appropriate paperwork to make it happen though.

KodiakRS posted:So assuming he declares a state of emergency what does that do? Will he just order the Army Corps of Engineers to go start stacking sandbags along the Rio Grande? As far as I understand it, declaring a state of emergency allows him to instruct the military to start building a wall. The problem, of course, is that they don't have the materials or budget for this, so much like all of the other grand things Trump has ordered the military to do, they'll make vague noises about doing it, accomplish nothing, and then Trump will forget about it.

And the difference between that emergency and the climate emergency vs the border "emergency" is that people are dying BECAUSE OF those first two emergencies, not because of the rear end in a top hat "response" to the third supposed/fake one. So actually legitimate in that sense.

as someone pointed out, there are thirty-some ongoing localized emergency states backing executive orders and whatnot (was this an eke out thing? I feel like this was an eke out thing) mostly pretty sane and hecka more limited than whatever wacky poo poo Donald might want to pull with the border it seems to be a go to for slamming sanctions on various lovely foreign kleptocrats, for example

This is so dumb. Everyone is waiting and anticipating tonight's thing that if Trump doesn't announce that we're going to close the border, anything less would be an extreme disappointment with a crappy speech filled with the same old racist poo poo we all already heard. Why did the networks agreed to give him airtime again?

I found out today that MassHealth is dumping me because I make too much money. I'm in a temp to perm position and the awful stopgap insurance doesn't cover mental health at all. I would have to pay $500 a month for mental health coverage from the marketplace. Somehow I have to keep my poo poo together until June. This tweet almost made me cry. Thank loving Satan for medical weed.

I don’t think there’s going to be a state of emergency announcement. Trump believes that polls are lies, and of course everyone loves him, and they only don’t like the wall because the evil media lied to them, so all he has to do go on TV and explain it directly to them. And it will completely sway the public, as they love Trump, and he is the greatest communicator of all time.

I don't know why you're making a big deal about this, Trump has made himself completely irrelevant by this tantrum. The only question that matters is what's McConnell doing. This is 100% his shutdown and anyone paying attention knows it.

I mean everyone already realizes he's just going to get up there and lie his rear end off like he always does. The only way this is meaningful is if he shits the bed way harder than usual, otherwise it's just another bunch of horseshit from president very-big brain that will be forgotten in 10,000 years next week.

How is this possible in MA of all places? I qualified for 160/mo health insurance through BMC on the connector while making too much for MassHealth. Low deductible, 20 co pay for mental health visits.
