No we won't, I already told you 70% voting for reasonable decency won't matter.Uh....you'll have the House in less than 2 years. This is one of the reasons Trump/Musk are moving with such speed.
I have limited time online, as I am making real life plans to destroy rednecks.Where is Shenanigans when we need him to shit on somebody's eyeballs?
I'll be lurking with less specifics. Never let the rubes know your plans.I have confidence in very little these days, but I do have confidence that when Shena leaves (I'll believe it when I see it, MFer!), we'll have lost our one and only eye shitter.
Why not both?You are either really dense or a bad troll.
Impoundment has not been around in the US for centuries. The concept comes from the British royalty. The reason that impoundment is not workable in our system is that it makes it impossible for Congress to legislate on a bipartisan basis.1. Impoundment, which has been around for centuries, allows the president to refuse to spend money, right?
2. If we have a legal agreement/contract, I would agree. If not, why can't Trump legally impound money? Also, does the president have the power to stop funding, using impoundment, even if there is a contract in place?
There is no difference. If Congress allocates money for musicals, then the executive branch has to fund the musicals.I think there's a difference between not spending and changing where it is spent. For example, rather than waste $70k on musicals or a million on providing Sesame Street for Iranian children, it could be spent on something useful because Congress doesn't specify "spend xxx on musicals, spend xxx on cartoons for Iranian children", right? The specifics on how money is spent is done by the individual departments like USAID or DoD, etc.
For instance, if Trump were to be allowed to impound allocated funds he doesn't like, then how the fuck are Democrats supposed to negotiate? They can't get anything they want, because Trump won't spend it. And imagine what would happen with a Democratic Congress, or a split Congress. The legislature would lose all power, and the system would break completely.
Anyway, the constitution is very clear on this point. It's not an open question, except maybe in the hands of a lawless Supreme Court that pays little attention to the actual text or history of the constitution.
Ok... over a century.Impoundment has not been around in the US for centuries. The concept comes from the British royalty. The reason that impoundment is not workable in our system is that it makes it impossible for Congress to legislate on a bipartisan basis.
What you're talking about here has almost nothing to do with impoundment. When Congress allocates money in block grants to an agency, it includes the delegation of power to exercise discretion in spending it. As I said earlier, that's just ordinary legislation. The money can't be held back, and there's no authority by which the president can "undo" awards already granted (though admittedly I don't know of any authority specifically prohibiting it).Like I mentioned earlier, the requirement to spend/loan money allocated by Congress isn't the same as a requirement to spend it SPECIFICALLY on musicals, cartoons, condoms, etc aren't the same thing. Again, I really doubt Congress says to the DoD "You have to buy 5 Apache helicopters from Boeing. 400 machine guns from Sig Sauer", etc.
I agree. In case I haven't said it yet, I hate everyone on the right (and their Zen/OG enablers) with the fire of a thousand hells. Eventually everyone on the left will, but I already know exactly who they are. They need to be destroyed, through chaos, disownment, and intentionally offending them, and soon worse. It's the only thing they know and understand after Trump. Get after it. Enjoy your new world trumpers.Control of the House doesn’t matter, especially now that the executive has the power of the purse. Even if that wasn’t the case we’re still looking at a permanent reshuffling of the social order. The hatred between right and left is here to stay. Conservative kids won’t have liberal friends. Young liberals are going to leave your conservative churches/religions. Conservative young men will not be able to get a date with liberal young women.
You won the game now enjoy your prize.
Damn, I like this guy...I agree. In case I haven't said it yet, I hate everyone on the right (and their Zen/OG enablers) with the fire of a thousand hells.

Young people don't go to church anymore anyhow. Church is now for evangelicals, olds, and a smattering of others.Control of the House doesn’t matter, especially now that the executive has the power of the purse.

I was thinking about you when I saw the story on WRAL. Is your job still safe?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.
Yes, mine is a domestic contract, so maybe it will turn out ok.I was thinking about you when I saw the story on WRAL. Is your job still safe?
What you describe is what I think is going to happen. It's why we are about to have majority conservative rule for the next 50 years. They are going to cheat and lie and rig elections like their lives depend on it, and they do. Today's conservatives seek power above all else, and they are seizing that opportunity.Disownment? Sure, that's already been happening. All of the more aggressive stuff? Nah, most of what we'll see is people just trying to escape toxic relationships. There's a dream among conservatives that after all the trash talk we'll all be friends like fans of rival teams tailgating togther. That's not going to happen. But what I see is not a hope to return fire. What I see is a complete and total lack of empathy. The closest thing to giving a damn is enjoying some FAFO stories.
Some conservative's kid doesn't feel welcome because of the views they were raised with? There was a time when peole would have suggested reaching out and maybe showing them the error of their ways. There would be high minded lectures about engagement being the best way forward. I don't see any of that. Just a whole lot of not caring and people going back to their resepective corners. That conservative's kid can go find other conservatives if they want friends, no one cares enough to work towards anything else.
I recruit entry level technicians to service your mom. She pays well.Which technical school do you recruit for? Durham Tech was looking to add a recruiter.
You assume Elon is finding fraud, you assume liberals are the more untrustworthy ones in govt. Your assumptions are 100% wrong.Any evidence of such accusations?
I doubt people such as silence unwittingly voted for right-wing authoritarianism.You assume Elon is finding fraud, you assume liberals are the more untrustworthy ones in govt. Your assumptions are 100% wrong.
You never answered my question. Why do you trust trump, who has bankrupted multiple businesses and stiffed numerous contractors? Why do you trust Elon, the richest man in the world, who will be pocketing taxpayer money on anything saved from firing very talented, smart federal workers?
They just passed a budget including 4.5 trillion tax cuts to benefit the uber rich. 2 trillion in spending cuts to hurt people like you.
Why do you all not want to help yourselves? Increasing income inequality is only going to prove all of my predictions true.
You have installed unwittingly a conservative dictatorship, and now we all get to suffer from your stupidity. Thanks bro
Probably true for him. Knowing a lot of trumpers, I think a lot them did. They have no way to connect the dots to the point that right wing authoritarianism will hurt them personally. It's coming.I doubt people such as silence unwittingly voted for right-wing authoritarianism.
