Say it with me:“the Executive Office does not have the power of the purse”
Yeah, but you didn't read executive order #261 where trump changed the dept of the interior into the dept of espresso, where under the idiocy act of 1847 allows him to now control all Congressional duties. Todd Blanche said it was all perfectly legal.

Fox news would not have even succeeded without DEI hires. You think they brought in all those blonde's, because they were better than everyone else? LOLOLOL.

This is him IN A NUTSHELL. His mentality is, 'if I thought about it, then it's a great idea'. He's moneyball without any data.

Naive or delusional? Tough choice...
The easy choice is transparency, but for some reason, I don't think he will make the easy choice. His fanbois will cheer that he didn't cave just for the sake of not caving. Maybe Musk can thank them for giving him plausible deniability with a free red checkmark. We'll call it the reichmark.

I know. I saw the whole clip (I don't do what Dems do and take things out of context) and was commenting on his "dick pic" poster of Musk yesterday.
I thought it was really bad decorum, but was funny as hell. I took a guilty pleasure with it.

The US isn't going to escalate this war. We would like to see it over. But it really isn't our fight.
Because it was likely "you must first agree to no NATO membership or there are no further discussions."
It's not our fight 'now', but maybe it really is, especially considering our president stands on quiet strength. You can't have that stance and appeasement at the same time. It sounds like you think that if we let Russia roll Ukraine, the world would be at no less risk than if they hadn't. That's kind of absurd actually.

Well seeing as it's only been 2 months since the change as far as the oil thing goes, it takes a lot longer than 2 months to get all the wells that Biden stopped drilling up and running at capacity again so it may be a year before the prices stablize because the first thing is the oil reserve needs to be replenished .
Oil production:
2016-2017: 8-9000 thousand barrels/day
2022-2023: 11-1300 thousand/day
Data from the Bureau of Land Management shows that President Biden approved more oil and gas drilling permits in his first two years in office than former President Donald Trump. From Jan. 20, 2021, to Jan. 19 of this year, the BLM approved 6,430 permits for oil or gas drilling on federal land, compared with 6,172 drilling permits approved during the first two years of the Trump administration.
Also, you fill the SR when oils cheap. There's no reason it must be filled first.
Not sure who's been informing you, but they're misinforming you.

That's nice. The SD was still all Biden's people at that time.
That's naive. Everyone knew what would be happening after Nov 6th. If we could get to the source of who finalized the deal, then we'd know all we need to know. Guess who has the ability to go into the federal database, and exonerate himself anytime he wishes?

I'd like to see where in the Constitution it grants the executive power to "rebrand" an agency. Could he rebrand the DOE into The Department of the Gestapo, and arrest all his political opponents, because his lawyers wrote a bunch of mumbo jumbo that says he can? LOL This document isn't worth the ink it's written on. It's simply here to make it take longer to adjudicate. If the judge isn't dumb, it won't.

DOGE now has full access to all federal data systems. So 'read-only' was a blatant lie. Thanks NC, you always come through.

Really horrible choice of words, but the follow up wasn't about inciting violence. It's right up there with trial by combat, though. Actual weapons=arms. He'll have to walk that back eventually.

No NATO membership was the starting point for Russia.
...and our starting point should be we just cleaned up billions of dollars in our government, that we'd be happy to use to blow your army in Ukraine to smithereens. Instead, trump is offering concessions. What happened to the tough trump, that this would never have started under???

AHAHAHAHAHHA
By short term, does he mean after we eliminate China from the global market, and restart our entire manufacturing base? Shouldn't take long at all. Maybe he means when Fentanyl is eliminated, because of course it couldn't be manufactured in one of the other 195 countries in the world. We'll never know, because we gut intelligence and law enforcement. More short-sighted trump BS.

Trump has proposed ending tax on tips
I'm really surprised more people aren't all over this one. It's income! Lot's of servers make DAMN GOOD money for unskilled labor. Would it only be restaurants? I could see other industries converting how they do business if not. How about adding a 10% gratuity to your oil change after lowering the price 10%. Things that never crossed trump's tiny mind.

Finally something we can all agree on! Just a bunch of white guys driving their corvettes, mustangs, and lifted diesel trucks. What could possibly go wrong?
It wouldn't be very white, conservative male at all of us to admit we drive crazier than everyone, but we can 'handle it'. LOL Rolling coal to prove global warming is BS, because the smoke disappears eventually(and goes back to the emissions Gods).

2 hours ago, Trump_is_Mentally_fit said:Yes, he is a very stupid man
“Does President Trump understand money? ... the answer would appear to be no,” the WSJ editorial board replied, going on to explain why doing such a thing might cause inflation to soar—and Trump’s approval ratings to plunge.
“Perhaps the president wants the public to look elsewhere when assigning blame for rising prices,” it said.
Under the headline “Trumponomics and Rising Inflation,” the WSJ team went on to systematically dismantle Trump’s mental abilities. “The layers of intellectual confusion here are hard to parse,” it wrote, before reluctantly going on to try and parse them anyway.
Seriously, when has he ever made sense in anything complicated, and when did his followers ever care. He could claim that he could jump the Snake River Canyon in a rocket, and they'd get all sentimental about Evil Knievel, and believe it. Then they'd say, well, maybe he couldn't, then a few minutes later, they would say well he might be able to.

Three minutes and two responses in, and I already regret posting to this site.
If it doesn't make you laugh to offset the frustration, it ain't worth it. The rest of the world is laughing at our politics, and unfortunately, I laugh with them sometimes as a personal defense mechanism.

Let me make this clear to the confused. Did soft power money get out of hand. ABSOLUTELY. Is throwing gasoline and a match on it a bad idea. ABSOLUTELY. Maybe some don't understand this, but strife elsewhere around the globe WILL be identified and taken advantage of by our enemies if we don't. If we provide assistance to a country, with American-made goods(that help American businesses/workers), and it helps us globally, then that's WORTH EVERY PENNY. What's that you need X materials from Y country, but they only deal with China now?

Okay, so you support the de facto end of American soft power in the worldMost people don't understand soft power, and there's no way to really objectify it, so that's why it's a good easy target to funnel money to the billionaires. Unfortunately, you'll have to wait for an administration that doesn't have billionaire's interest at heart, and hopefully nothing happens in the meanwhile. Hopefully, that new administration will be smarter than the ones in the past, who made it so awful, that it allowed for the dismantling.
6 minutes ago, JDHillFan said:I’m on board with humanitarian assistance. I suspect a majority are.
My point was a good chunk of that humanitarian aid helps US businesses as well. Those businesses are now left out, because they're earmarking that money for tax cuts to possibly create businesses. It doesn't even make an ounce of sense. The sooner you realize there's tons of politics and greed involved in these decisions the better.

Sure, but your outrage at the way its done shouldn't outweigh your outrage at the way our government spends our money. Fair?
That's fair enough, but illegal tampering with the Constitution is gonna make me maddest. That's the foundation, and w/o it, we have NOTHING.

7 hours ago, All_Pro_Bills said:An equivalency to these "threats" against the judicial might be threats to stack the Supreme Court with additional members if the court keeps ruling against the presiding administrations policies. Anyone remember the ABA raising concerns about that? No, right?
My guess is they're going to be willing to tank the entire economy and social system in order to keep the current arrangements in place. And then blame Trump for it all. So be alert.
If the Supreme Court becomes clearly and obviously partisan(in either direction), then stacking it to dilute the partisanship is probably the best idea out there.
Who's going to tank the economy and SS. The Republicans aren't even talking to the Democrats about budget, or anything else. They may as well stay at home for all the participation they're going to be allowed to have.

You mean AMERICAN food and medicine. Money that goes DIRECTLY back into the economy. Nah, let's give it to billionaires, and hope they create business, just like the one's they just took it away from. F'in clowns.

No, it was restored, because the sane, smart people showed the dumb, hasty people their mistake. That's the part Fox would leave out.
