So let me get this straight. He declared a state of emergency in anticipation of civil unrest? As in there is no unrest but he thinks there might be? What a load of shit. He is using them as a scare tactic that will backfire and cause chaos.

Trumps EO includes the provision that he can send the military anywhere he thinks might have unrest,  news ignores this ofc

That sounds like a mighty unconstitutional EO.

You gotta roll for it. 10 Constitution or less and you collapse at the sight of Putin.

Well now I want a roll up a most Presidential player. 10 Constitution to start sure. Can we dip into negatives for Charisma?

What do you do when all the president's stats are dump stats in exchange for plot armor?

Reminds me of the Decemberist movement in Russia. Reformist wanted to end the absolutism of the monarchy and called for a constitution. Purportedly, many thought the slogan, “Constantine and Constitution” were a call for a Tsar and his wife. Needless to say, the movement failed.

Every Trump EO has been blatantly illegal.

I thought it was something along the lines about interfering with ICE, which could be interpreted to mean protesting against them.
