The Founding Fathers of the Republic never, ever could have possibly imagined, in their worst nightmares, all the bureaucracies we have today sucking tax money out of citizens.

It is unquestionable, the federal government, thanks to the communist democrats, is out of control. Trump is the fixer.

The only tool the communists have to fight Trump with is corrupt unelected judges who in essence are thwarting the will of the people that was clearly expressed in the last election.

I have to say for the record:

It genuinely looks like DJT never stopped working and that all of this is according to a well-designed plan written over several years. The wide breadth, the multifaceted approach and simultaneous attention across the spectrum from the office of the Executive...

Most impressed, I am.

But (yes, ‘but’) I’ve yet to see any action from RFK Jr on rescinding the covid BS. No Mea culpa whatsoever, no policy changes/statements. Only ‘food coloring’. Most disappointing (but expected). I hope that he’s replaced in the absence of looming actions in that regard.

If these Judges keep shutting down the efforts of Trump and Musk to eliminate the waste and fraud from the government, since the Republicans have control over House, Senate and Presidency, why not pass the DOGE spending cuts into law.

Just a simple bill put forward every 90 days with all the specific cuts and recommendations, pass it without amendments, send it to the Senate, since it’s a budgetary matter it may not require 60 votes and then pass it in the Senate.

The bill would be very specific and limited to just the DOGE cuts and recommendations, maybe 5-10 pages, repeat the process as needed or every 90 days.

[Uncle Miltie]

Love it.

"why not pass the DOGE spending cuts into law."

Because our elected representatives are a pile of gutless turds, most of whom are on the take or being blackmailed.

[srmanuel]

That may very well be true, doesn’t change my opinion, put these gutless turds on record as supporting the MAGA agenda or not, opening up the opportunity to primary a bunch of them.

[caddie]

He left out the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and many more things. But yes this is wonderful news and there are more EOs to come.

[dljordan]

Here come the judges.
