I mean, he is the leader of the free world and has informal daily Presidential briefs with the Office of National Intelligence, National Security Advisor, and Agency Directors. Formal briefs take place at minimum weekly at his prerogative. I would tend to lean on their analytics versus some biased hack. Comical someone would question his sources.

You haven't been paying attention then. Trump hears statistics and if they don't match up with what he wants to hear, he throws them out and makes up his own version of what the "truth" is. He's always done this, even before he was president.

Pelosi warns that a Dem President could declare a National Emergency because of gun violence. In my opinion, this is an apples and oranges comparison to the current situation. Even so, what action is she proposing take place if a National Emergency were declared for such a reason? That has the potential to be one of the largest misteps in history if I’m being honest. Say you?

I say the left always cries foul when the other team follows the very precedent they themselves set.  It's great when their team does it, but off limits for the other.

At some point, the people should come together to say "no more" at some point.

But the truth is, those who say "no more" today will turn a quick 180 when their side does it tomorrow.

That's what she's advocating.

So this is where we are.
