I didn’t notice the boot on no name - I thought it was Brennan when I posted it. A lot of truth bombs in that graphic!

Trump Mulls Legally Dubious Plot to Deny Aid to Poor Foreigners

Donald Trump is mulling a plot to nullify Congress’s spending power, so as to deny $3 billion in aid to economically disadvantaged governments and peoples overseas.

Specifically, the Office of Management and Budget is planning to leave $3 billion of its $40 billion foreign aid budget unspent, unless Congress takes action to release the funds before the end of the fiscal year on September 30, according to a memo obtained by the Washington Post. Given that the House is on break until Labor Day, the Senate has a Supreme Court nomination to process, and virtually no one in either chamber wants a high-profile fight over foreign aid just before the midterm elections, congressional action appears unlikely.
