Do you beleive border security is a national security issue or not? What is the President's role and responsibilty in these matters of national security?Trump’s role as Commander in Chief under the Constitution provides broad authority for him to fulfill his obligations to protect this country.
Last car I bought from a "dealer".Nice ride, Huggy Bear.
Most of my recent cars have been Fords, and since my FiL is a Ford retiree, I can buy the cars on the A/X/Z plan. Dealer has to show me the real invoice, on the invoice are three boxes for the A, X, or Z plan, and the dealer has to sell me the car at the price listed in the box. That price normally represents real dealer invoice minus holdback. IOW, real dealer cost. In addition, any incentives available on that car model at the time further reduce the price. When we bought our Fusion, the car listed for $31.5k, but after the Zplan price minus the $2500 cash back that was running, we paid $23.6k. And icing on the cake, Ford was running 0% at the time as well. Yes, please, I'll use your money for free!I used to pull the Edmunds books, figure out dealer cost, and negotiate from dealer cost plus a few bucks.
We have bought some non-Fords over the years, but it's really hard to go back to haggling when I can buy at real cost + incentives.
Perhaps monopoly is not quite the word to use. Here's a good article that can explain it better:No time to read an article. Since you and Steingar used the same word I figured you’d be able to explain it and defend it.

If I never stepped foot in a dealer again.......What is monopolized?
And you're right, dealerships are basically gov sponsored monopolies.
I'd bypass the dealer entirely, but they're the only game in town if you want a new car. Nice to have a government sponsored monopoly. That said, I got my last car and my bike from dealers, so I a ma bit of a chump. The said, though purchased used both are fairly unusual, so they weren't easily sourced from private individuals.What monopoly is that?
I believe you're confusing emergency with Executive action. They're quite different.Reading comprehension a little tough today?
No he’s not.
Here’s a list:

I think you're confusing National Emergencies with Executive orders.No he’s not.
And here is why the Dems want Trump to declare a National EmergencyThe Dems will do whatever they want to do regardless of what trump does. This establishes no precedent because the precedent has been set decades ago.

The entertainment world was aghast when Jessie Smollett calimed he was attacked by two white guys wearing MAGA hats.White Nigerians?
As seems always the case with progressives, it was a pile of bullshit, served whole to cnn and msnbc for ammunition to be used against all white people and anyone that voted for President Donald Trump.

It has been two and a half weeks since Jussie Smollett reported that he was the victim of a hate crime, and in that time, his story has fallen apart completely. Recent developments in the case have suggested that the Empire actor staged his own assault with the help of two others in a desperate attempt to stay relevant as his character was possibly being written off the show.
Not easy to draft a huge spending bill with a tight deadline. Try it sometime.Naive. This stuff is written LONG before the debate even begins.
It doesn’t have to be that big, nor passed without reading, nor subject to an unrealistic deadline.Ooooh! It’s not often that I learn something completely new to me, but I had not heard of this before. It is PERFECT! Thanks Becky.
