Well the reason why you know it's probably true is because they would have probably shot him or tried to kill him by now. That's what happened to Ronald Reagen he wasn't part of the establishment and didn't want to play ball, so they shot him.
It's not like there's audio of the feds talking to Malcom X and threatening that they "make people disappear".
The rules only protect us, if people play by the rules.

Remember how you ask how you and D were different when it concerns Trump? That sentence right there shows it.When D critize Trump, he doesn’t go out of his way to insult and demean Trumpers supporters by calling them names because they voted for Trump.
Who?
Saying "I love it when Trumpers eat each other." isn't insulting.
Also, you routinely insult people and groups of people. As noted:

So stop whining, k.
This is a bad idea. Really not a fan of the expansion of executive power. Seems whenever either party has the president and congress, their congress is like "oh yeah it's for the greater good because our guy is in power" so they allow executive power to be expanded. Well what happens when your guy isn't in power?
Looking at the gleam in Nancy Pelosi's eye about how she considers gun violence a national emergency, I don't think this is a precedent we should desire to set.

That's been noted and the precedent has now been set, Trump did it.
You people better pray nothing happens to Trump and Pence in the next two years. Pelosi is third in line 🙂

They do, for starters if they did it would start a Civil War Trump has too much support in the intelligance agencies to be assassinated like that.
IMO if Democrats put country before party they'd have just given Trump his wall money before it got to this point. My reason is simple: everybody knew this would be a fight. Everybody knew if he did this it would immediately be challenged.
This is going to involve a shitload of people who are probably better off doing more important things(like government lawyers), but now they're gonna being dealing with settling this bullshit. And what if Congress gets involved? Do they not have better shit to do? No, I don't care if you hate Trump or Republicans. The fact is the guy is president. You could have spared 5 friggin billion, which is not a lot in the grand scheme of things.
I say this as someone who is not in favor of a wall unless it is proven to work(and not gonna break the bank). I say this as someone who thinks this was a bad idea.

You do not understand how government works. It is not the role of Congress to give the President whatever he wants.

Nah there are ways for them to try to get involved in this, that's all I'm saying. I'm not saying the things would work, but they could try.
CEO: I am going to withhold pay from employees until the CFO agrees to give me company funds to build a wall around the office.
CFO: We have a contract with employees to pay them for their work. Their pay is not a bargaining chip you can leverage to get funds from Accounting.
Surtur: Nah, the CFO should work with the CEO to give him what he wants.
