Republicans are already publicly telling Trump he needs to obey the court rulings and do things the right way. Do you really think Congressional Republicans are going to stand by and let Trump make himself king? Do you think our courts or military are going to?

Trump has already conceded he will obey the courts and fight the funding battles the right way - in the courts. Does that sound like a fascist dictator?

1. Trump has conceded nothing. He has mouthed words to that effect, but he literally changes his positions by the day. His actions do not appear to be accepting of judicial oversight, nor the statements of his minions.

2. I don't know what Congressional Republicans are going to do. But if they can't push back against RFK JR as the leader of our public health agencies, despite being the worst nominee for any cabinet position ever in the history of the country, then what makes you think they will push back against anything else?

As for publicly telling Trump, seriously? I've heard Senators saying things like, "yes, that's technically a violation of the constitution, but I'm not losing any sleep over it" (I think that was Tillis). They are saying that the judiciary is acting unconstitutionally (Leavitt was merely reciting the current talking points).

3. The courts? You want us to rely on the judiciary? Literally what is happening right now is the Supreme Court's fault. It didn't just grant Trump immunity. It granted him more immunity than he even asked for. They were like, "nah, he's setting his sights too low; here's let's give him some more." I'm not making this up. ACB said as much, even as she rubber-stamped what Trump did ask for.

Maybe the Supreme Court will push back. Maybe. But how can we rely on that? I mean, they literally rolled out the red carpet for Trump to assassinate them if he doesn't like what they are doing. They have been a rubber stamp for Christian nationalism for years. When the facts are against them, they just make up different facts (again, I'm not making this up).

4. So I fail to see the basis for your confidence.

My favorite part was the part about not having another Democrat as president for the rest of your life, lol.

Democrats will have a great chance to win the White House in 2028 if they can drop some of the dumb stuff from their platform and focus on kitchen table issues.

Is Trump illegally creat8ng a third term with his corrupt Supreme Court in his back pocket, that is opposed to ANY ethics standard, one of those kitchen table issues? I am sure it is discussed at the kitchen table in trailer parks, in rural Murica, and among High School dropouts all over the country -- you know, MAGA types.

The 20+ states involved in the lawsuit should be receiving funds. The states not involved in the lawsuit may not be receiving funds.

But they aren't. None of the states are receiving funds. USAID isn't receiving funds. NIH isn't receiving funds. Trump can say whatever, but the fact is they are not receiving funds even though the court ordered for the freeze to stop.

I don't know what you're basing that on. The White House just held a press briefing a couple hours ago and funding wasn't brought up. If it wasn't restored, you'd think that would be a big topic.

All the people who are reporting that their funds are still frozen. I'd imagine some posters here have some insight, as they are direct or indirect recipients of that federal money.

As CarolinaFever posted, you are obtuse to a very annoying degree.

If you go outside and kick rocks, you literally would be so much more useful to society

Apparently it's annoying and obtuse to be asked to support your claims?

There's sources and sources. Professional liars are a terrible source.

What press people were there? Is this the one AP just got kicked out of? Is this the one all the new Trump toadies started coming to? I'm sure that there was some challenging interchanges today.

Well, I work for a company that contracts with USAID and people have been laid off because they don't have any funding. Is that enough support? The media has done plenty of reporting on the fact that the funding is still frozen despite the court orders to unfreeze them.

Why? You don't want to treat trash like trash? Eventually you will realize that is the only way to get back any semblance of your reality. I'm speeding up the process. Fuck them. You need to realize that right fucking now. I'm dead serious about that

We let a bit go here but saying you'll defecate on his face is a bit too personal and across the line. For future reference, the more narrow, targeted, personal, etc. the greater chances it's over the line and will be deleted, warning, banned, and so on.

I know emotions run high and all that but, just keep it a tad more civil.
