I did not see anywhere @Matthewtravis08 saying he would “stop loving” anyone. Not going to put words in his mouth, but washing your hands of someone and “no longer loving them” are two completely different things. In fact love for our family/friends etc, is the main reason we can hold so much disappointment. If you didn’t care…you wouldn’t care. There is a difference between washing your hands of someone because they happen to hold more liberal/conservative values than you….and washing your hands of someone because they have made the choice to join and support someone who isn’t simply antithetical to what this country, our constitution and democracy are about…a LITERAL cult which is more closely aligned with the ideologies of Nazi Germany and Hitler, Russia and Putin, and even Radical Islam ISIS . That is not fear mongering and being an alarmist, but simply where this is at today, MAGA is a cult . Period. Not talking conservatism, which hell I have long considered myself a middle of the road conservative on most issues….but Donald Trump…he is not a conservative, he is an authoritarian tyrant and literally EVERYTHING he embodies and is promoting is CLASSIC Hitler nazi fascism. The reality now is….Family or not, if you today can stand by and support Donald Trump and his desire to DESTROY the very fabric of what makes this country what it’s been for 250 years….YOU are the one who has chosen the Anti American way of life. Not me. You have chosen fascism, greed, immorality. You have chosen to hate law enforcement, law and order, compassion, and truth. In 2016, even 2020 you could still claim naivety or ignorance….Hell , I voted for the man in 2016 . Now, there is no more “Oh I don’t like his behavior but I support his policies”. No. Policy has not one fucking thing to do w it. Anyone who continues to support Donald Trump today, supports fascist authoritarians and dictatorial rule. Anyone who supports Trump today, supports women and minorities being 0.5 or less than a man. Anyone who supports Trump today supports tyranny and lawlessness , and allegiance to ONE PERSON rather than ONE COUNTRY. Anyone with a clue, not brain washed by his phony gestures and empty words to a camera , has long known Donald Trump loathes military service and service members. His disgust and distain and flat out inability to even to begin to comprehend was true love and loyalty to country is about, has been CRYSTAL clear….but after what he did by pardoning RUTHLESS, VIOLENT, DANGEROUS criminals, who brutally beat law enforcement officers, some within inches of their lives and others who eventually died or took their own, due to the trauma experienced…..and then TODAY had the mother fucking audacity to direct DOJ officials to CALL THOSE OFFICERS and tell them “As of today, you are officially no longer a victim”…..THAT , THAT , was defining measure of what this man is. A weak, pathetic, spineless, amoral, Anti Democratic, Anti Law and order, anti justice, anti AMERICAN , PIECE OF DOG SHIT, who if there was EVER truly justice and accountability in this country again, should be hung. Period. Yes, if you support that man, a man of such ineptitude and cowardliness, who could not give one fuck about this country, much less you or any other individual and who is seeking to drive our democracy and nation off a cliff…..nah. Fuck you and every other America hating MAGAT .

So you are now insinuating that you may ACTUALLY attempt to REMOVE a Judge by order?? Ill make this very clear. Donald Trump has literally been riding the line for 3 weeks. Sometimes a foot outside, sometimes not. If Donald J. Trump, much less at the behest of @elonmusk, attempts to unilaterally remove a sitting federal judge….You will at that point have the collective of past and present US Presidents, previously high ranking officials, allies AND the courts, moving rapidly towards a “break glass in case of emergency” . It would be political suicide and unprecedented contingency plans immediately put into action, involving both our Military( got news for you….the people ACTUALLY giving the orders and moving men…will no longer follow Trump and Hegseths command. You would indeed be at the doorstep of a all out civil war ….and that would almost certainly not end well for anyone, most definitely not Trump. I expect SCOTUS would actually utilize an express lane to their doorstep and EMPHATICALLY rebuke and handcuff Trump(metaphorically) while immediately reinstating any such judge….but it would be too late. The line would be crossed and the US would be officially under siege from within and an executive coup officially announced world wide….

All he has the authority to do is petition congress for a review and he /White House must submit in writing, each any every “amount” and program/department/grant program/aid program etc asking to review. He cant just “shut it all down boys”. Has to give examples and reasons , not shutting down to go FIND reasons. Once he submits that request, it is still completely up to congress. They can either agree and also look to review this or that, OR if they do not believe its warranted or just, in 45 days it must be released in full to wherever it was originally intended for. The point is, there are processes, constitutional processes and checks and balances. Presidents have great power, they do not have the power to bypass the constitution or processes simply because they think its time consuming or requires EFFORT and actual WORK by POTUS. Not to mention working with the opposing party, all of which we know matter of factly Trump hates doing. Does not like anything that requires him to actually “work” or come together with Democrats or even congress in general. Unfortunately for him, he has no choice with the slim majorities his party holds, along with the almost certainty of losing at least the house in 2026 and possibly both chambers.

So HAD trump submitted official requests for EACH AND EVERY department/program/entity i.e. you have 5 different programs you are seeking to rescind disbursement to, you have to provide 5 official notices to congress. If you have 12, then 12 notices. He also has to name REASONS and need for doing so. Meaning you have to have identified an issue, you cant simply order a shut down en mass and then go looking for _____. Also, if a consumer i.e. farmer, has already signed for and been awarded subsidy or grants, you CANNOT simply “seize” and leave them out to dry the way Trump has done 10s of thousands of farmers. Aside from the additional legal liability he will face(and he will) for doing so, its simply as morally corrupt and tone deaf, dismissive of those who allowed him a second term. Without farmers , he would not have SNIFFED the White House again. There is a process and he has every right to petition congress , 100%. The way he has gone about is categorically unconstitutional and illegal. Its not even arguable. Plain as day.

LOL. ICA makes it EXPLICITLY clear that a POTUS lacks such authority or power….my guess is you are literally taking bits of talking points i.e. “Impoundment control act” and just repeating , without having any clue as to what they are. That act was written to STRENGTHEN congresses oversight and control of the purse and disbursement, not give a President power. ICA 1.) Requires POTUS TO submit a REQUEST TO CONGRESS in order to rescind any disbursement 2.) If Congress does not act within 45 days, even THEN , POTUS has no authority to stop or seize payments and they are REQUIRED to disburse the funds to their original/intended purpose. Lol the fact you just noted one of the most damning things to any Trump argument…..is quite telling.

LOL The type of leader that literally promises Putin a sovereign country (we now know that to effectively be true) along with a man so dangerous, the top cyber experts in the world(no, Elon nor anyone he knows is anywhere close) have said “Virtually no effective measures exist” that would prevent him from crashing and infiltrating ANY countries(including the US) most highly sensitive intelligence . As one FORMER TRUMP (and still loyal MAGA) intelligence and cyber security expert put it , “He is literally the 100 ton nuclear missile of the cyber universe. If he decides to infiltrate a system, whether that be our intranet , banking, defense , etc. he could accomplish so within 48 hours.” So no, Biden was not willing to swap a man UNIVERSALLY regarded as the most dangerous person in the world when including cyber warfare. Congrats.

FALSE. Elon MUSK waged a HORRIBLE pressure campaign on this individual , repeatedly DEMANDING they QUIT. It is CATEGORICALLY FALSE that it is “customary” for FAA chiefs to resign PRIOR to transition being complete. In FACT, it is rare. Resignation has USUALLY only become official once an interim chief is selected and at other times, remaining in that roll until confirmation of new POTUS nominee is complete . You are the one intentionally misleading, at least I would HOPE a tenured senator would not TRULY be that ignorant . President Musk BULLIED and DEMANDED they quit for months(we all know why) and ultimately they did. Accountability within MAGA is certainly a significant issue…but come on.

Name the “fraud” and “abuse” ? Also, if thats SOLELY what this was about, @realDonaldTrump wouldnt have illegally fired so many persons(many who fortunately will get their jobs back eventually) particularly an individual with over 22 years as inspector general , who had SINGLE HANDEDLY been responsible for uncovering nearly $20 billion in fraud ? No one is fighting against cleaning up the waste, or even the fraud and abuse when its there….but when its done without any transparency and via someone with MASSIVE conflicts of interest as well as ZERO CLUE as to what they are even looking for or at….is simply not ok. You go to your Doctor after experiencing consistent headaches after starting a new medication. The Doctor doesn’t simply proceed in pulling you off every other medication you have been on for years, as the negative implications of simply shutting off/down everything, risks far more harm than a headache. They evaluate the medicine and any potential interaction with any current medication which may have been missed initially and either A.) replace the recent medication B.) replace any uncovered medication likely interacting with the new. A POTUS does not hold the authority or power to unilaterally bypass congress and seize funds already allocated to ____. Thats not how this works. You want to examine and audit with transparency ? Absolutely, but you cannot simply “seize” moneys already passed and allocated via congressional approval. That is a direct violation of law and is LITERALLY the job of the courts in “checking”. Roll of the courts/Judges , above all else, is to determine whether an action or order given from the President, is infact legal or constitutional. Thats their job and for a federal judge to stay or intervene in executive orders, they must have been provided SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE that the order given, is in fact NOT legal. They DO NOT simply intervene without thought and belief that it is necessary. To that point, thats also what an APPEAL IS, and totally acceptable to appeal any ruling one feels is “wrong”. Thats how LAW WORKS . Very similar to medicine , if you get a diagnosis you have questions about, you get a second opinion. If that second opinion then differs significantly, you likely get a 3rd opinion and when all is said and done, the CONSENSUS opinion is what you typically go with. Judges do make mistakes, while RARELY intentional(Judges just simply are not political they are simply interpreting and applying the law to whatever is before them.) mistakes happen and you can appeal. Over recent history, the facts are, whether its absurd stolen election claims or Jan 6th sentencing, Judges have been overwhelmingly in line with THE LAW, constitution and JUST rulings. In fact the only Justice known to have DEFINITIVELY defied legal context and defied the law based on any sort of “politics” is Judge Eileen Cannon in Florida and we know this because whether conservative appointed Judges or Democrat appointed judges, virtually EVERY SINGLE JUDGE in this country, all but condemned her rulings. If a Judge is flat out wrong, not only will that be at MINIMUM suggested on appeal with higher or appeals court upholding and granting relief in the appeal, but you will have judges nation wide weighing in.

Oh the meltdown when Elon finds himself sitting behind bars and there is no amount of money, nor control of social media platforms, that can save him. Keep focusing on owning the libs(which 90% of this country could not give even ONE fuck about) and your little childish and immature games. Contempt of court may not ultimately end in 34 felony convictions (voted on by the American people) but it sure can put a can on your defiance and annoyance for a couple weeks. Oh, and no, POTUS has absolutely no powers or authority to get you out either. Presidential powers relating to “pardons” apply solely to adjudicated cases. So….you and Trump , please fee free to FAFO.

Can Iran simply give the green light already!!? Jesus Fuck this criminally corrupt , law defying tyrant is just beyond the scope of rationale. Hey Miller, you aren’t that stupid. Yes, a District judge ABSOLUTELY has the power and authority to strike down orders they believe to be unconstitutional. That is the PRECISE JOB of the courts/Judges—to determine if said order is ILLEGAL/unconstitutional or not. PRECISELY their job and power they possess via three CO-EQUAL BRANCHES OF GOVT. This argument is clearly intended for the generally speaking IGNORANT MAGA base, who lack ANY CONCEPT or actual understanding that the powers of a POTUS ARE NOT without limits and that they too, must abide by the LAWS and STRUCTURE of the Government. The only way around such is to amend existing or enact new laws—again, POTUS DOES NOT HAVE THE POWER TO DO. That can be taken up with congress and Trump is more than welcome to do that just as he is more than welcome to work congress in regards to spending/funding/etc. Also, little bit of knowledge for that ignorant Trump/MAGA base…..JUDGES DO NOT ISSUE STAYS/INJUNCTIONS/strike down executive orders without SUBSTANTIAL evidence of such orders BEING ILLEGAL. Does not happen. This Judge is the one on the right side of the law and properly executing THEIR POWERS. Whether you like it or not is irrelevant and whether its categorically FALSE “election fraud” claims or illegal orders and seizing of funds, shutting down of departments, it is LITERALLY the primary roll and job of the courts , to examine and determine whether such is illegal and if their initial review determines it is very likely illegal or unconstitutional orders have been issued , they have EVERY RIGHT to do what this judge has done until both sides present their case in full. That is TEXTBOOK rule of law and democracy. Should President Trump chose to subvert or ignore the rule of law and proceed to act how this POTUS has ….that is the DEFINITION of an executive coups and this country has every right to then do ANYTHING necessary to defend our constitution and the rule of law, no matter what that may entail.

LMAO. Just another attempt to distract Americans for reality that their ight bulbs, dishwashers, washing machines are all about to get price hikes, their gas is about to increase .85 -1.15 per gallon by May 1st and inflation overall is likely to approach 5-6 % by Fall. One more attempt to distract from whether its his mass deportations(and subsequent release of over 100 persons convicted of violent crimes due to overcrowded holding facilities) or “Guarantee prices will come down day 1” when in reality virtually EVERYTHING has gone UP from where it was in November and December. GTFO

Name the person trying to stop them from hiding it? Isn’t one. No one has an issue with a president committing to actually cut spending . A President cannot subvert the constitution and constitutionally afforded powers re:co equal branches of Govt and STOP funding already appropriated by congress, at his command. Thats simply illegal—hence why judges have issued stays on numerous matters involving this “audit”. The fact that you have NO transparency , none, and you have persons who literally have NO CLUE what programs are and no one providing any oversight , much less actually providing FACTS —Elon Musk posting on X that this amount went here or there and “fraud, fraud , fraud,” without SHOWING that…is not “facts” . Then you have the White House HIDING any info via the presidential records act, meaning they are claiming they do not have to “show” anything until 5 years after the Presidents term ends. When you are operating on the up and up, you do not operate in that way. No one is trying to block any review of our spending. They are simply not ok, nor should ANYONE be, by a voice of ONE and in violation of crystal clear federal and constitutional law, swooping in middle of the night and illegally seizing funding to already appropriated and in most cases PROMISED money. Whether its millions of farmers, now in an incredibly difficult position of not receiving money ALREADY GUARANTEED to them and are stuck unable to operate or starving impoverished and sick people, unable to recieve life saving food and medicine, that is LITERALLY sicking on docks throughout the world and in some cases now gone to waste. Trump absolutely has the right to push for cuts and changes and its called CONGRESS. Its called the LAW, which unfortunately this POTUS and admin have chosen to subvert and even now DEFY 100% legal rulings from judges who arent doing ANYTHING but their JOB. The roll of the courts , their #1 duty is to rule on what is legal and what is not.

You LITERALLY just copied and pasted about 1/4 of the list of crimes Trump and his admin through 3 weeks. And while you couldn’t care less….to DATE there has not been EVEN ONE allegation much less evidence of any “crime” committed of those connected to any of the programs illegally seized. Not one. That is matter of fact not assumption or opinion and we know that because Trumps DOJ has LITERALLY admitted this both in court and via filings/objections. Its all manufactured hysteria . No different than the categorically fake claims made via Trump and his minions to the cameras re election “fraud” in 2020. Not one claim accusing or providing ANY evidence of such when actually inside a court room. What is a 100% guaranteed to crime and GUARANTEED to have Trump and his DOJ facing serious felony charges? The CRYSTAL CLEAR extortion of Mayor Eric Adams. The most overt, blatant , case of extortion you will see. Directing the case to be dropped ….yet arguing, PRELIMINARY arguing and insisting the judge officially discharge the case “WITHOUT PREJUDICE” and LITERALLY submitting in writing “Due to the current Trump administration wanting to ensure Mayor Adams properly aligns with and carries out their agenda when and as it pertains to NYC.” They LITERALLY submitted a legal document, announcing an EXTORTION scheme and demanding the judge not dismiss “with prejudice” so that they can maintain a hold on Mayor Adams sack. Its going to be PHENOMENAL when the Judge castrates Trump admin in court and dismiss it w prejudice anyways, killing any ability of Trump to go after Adams.
