So now that you know FEMA was ordered by Congress, through the very public legislative process, to spend those funds, you still think it's essential that DOGE be "bringing it to light"? Do you also think the president should defy Congress's direction on this expenditure?

I do think it's essential that it's brought to light just as the ridiculous USAID expenditures should be brought to light. As to whether or not the President should defy Congress is a question of whether or not he has authority to defy Congress. If he doesn't - no. If he does - yes.

I also wonder if Congress knew that immigrants were being housed in expensive NY hotels or did they just generally approve FEMA money to address housing, not knowing that it was going to be poorly used.

Who decided use NY hotels vs a Motel 6 in the Bronx or housing them in a vacant building or other fiscally responsible options.

Regardless of what you think of Trump, Elon or the whole DOGE project, I think bringing to light that taxpayers are spending hundreds of millions, and billions over time, to house illegal immigrants in NY hotels, is a good thing.

Do they? I'm not a lawyer, but if a district judge has no authority over Merrick Garland, why would a District judge have authority over the President?

Give it up. You don’t understand because you don’t want to understand. It’s called posting in bad faith, better known as trolling. And you’re not as good at it as you think you are. Just stop.

Along with gtyellowjacket and ZZLPHeels.
 


“…BUT there’s a lot of game yet to be played [appeals etc.]. … In the interim I agree wholeheartedly with JD Vance … I’ve been asked if I’m uncomfortable with what they’re doing in the Executive Branch … no I’m not …there’s a presupposition in America that the [President] is going to be a good steward of taxpayer dollars …” [we applaud these cuts by Trump notwithstanding our having authorized spending because we don’t like how it is being spent]

This sounds so dramatic, but I’ve been thinking about it all morning. We are witnessing, in real time, the destruction of America. Not only are they setting up the override of our judicial system, they are greenlighting corruption. If they don’t obey the laws and no one is going to enforce the laws unless it behooves them, there is no freedom and democracy. America is not going to hold. And I’d like to think there are principled people in positions of power, but the end of the day, the vast majority of people will always act in their best interest when they’re scared. That includes individual citizens, politicians, judges, etc.

This reminds me so much of early March 2020, knowing that the world was about to change but watching everyone just go about their lives like nothing was coming down the tracks…

You have been witnessing the destruction of America for a long time, most recently, an administration which encouraged an invasion into this country by millions upon millions of illegal immigrants from all over the world. You have watched drug cartels just over our southern border amass billions of dollars as a result of exploiting the millions of people funneled into the US by Biden and his cronies that they will in turn use to create more destruction in America. You have witnessed these same cartels flood this country with drugs which has led to thousands upon thousands of dead Americans as well as all the other damage created short of death while the Biden Administration told you over and over again how the border was secure.

If what you see now reminds you of 2020, what did everything you witnessed the 4 years prior remind you of?

Hopefully now we will have a president who will actually try to stop the spiral down. One who will secure the border, try and eliminate the massive amount of waste and fraud our country is involved in, try and keep the rest of the world from taking advantage of the US and the US taxpayer, and instead of stupidly sitting back and watching China rise towards the top over the last 30 years taking advantage of the US, like every president before, will actually hold them accountable for their decades long abuse.

Now, if only he can get a bunch of Democrats, who put their own self-interest aside in order to hate Trump, out of the way.

Lolololololololololololololololololololololololololol this is absolute art.
 


Asked if there will be any limits on or supervision of Musk when DOGE reviews the Pentagon given his obvious conflicts of interest, Hegseth dodges and turns to all the potential money-saving duplication of staff and efforts but focuses on responses to climate change as a wasteful use of Pentagon resources

“… look at a lot of the climate change programs that have been pursued … the Defense Department is not in the business of climate change if solving the global thermostat … the Defense Department is not USAID … pursing globalist agendas that don’t have a connection to America First …”
 
Did millions of illegals not enter our country under Biden? Did the cartels not make billions participating in Biden's human trafficking scheme? Are the cartels not pumping drugs into this country? Are thousands of American not dying as a result? Did Mayorkas not tell us over and over again the border was secure? Do we not have massive trade deficits with the majority of our trading partners? Are we not sending billions of dollars all around the world, much of which going to bs, while so many Americans are in need in this country? Please tell me where I was wrong and be specific.
