FYI Budget Update
-President Trump just invoked the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 while signing the COVID bill, allowing him to redline areas that must be addressed.
-This sends it back to Congress forcing them to 1) repeal 230, 2) cut out the wasteful spending, 3) add $2k.
FYI BU 2
-This is a virtually unknown law and has taken Congress by surprise.
-It also signals his intent to invoke *other* laws in the coming weeks.
Stay tuned.
FYI BU 3
-PER FOX: The Senate will start the process that increases checks to $2k, repeals Section 230, starts an investigation into voter fraud, per President Trump's redlines under the Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (which Nixon signed).
-RINOs & Ds are furious.

Looks like a sleeper/troll account
From the same link:
The ICA defines a “deferral” as withholding, delaying, or – through other Executive action or inaction – effectively precluding funding from being obligated or spent. The ICA prescribes three narrow circumstances in which the President may propose to defer funding for a program: (1) providing for contingencies; (2) achieving budgetary savings made possible through improved operational efficiency; and (3) as specifically provided by law.
The ICA requires that the President send a special message to Congress identifying the amount of the proposed deferral; the reasons for it; and the period of the proposed deferral. Upon transmission of such special message, the funds may be deferred without further action by Congress; however, the deferral cannot extend beyond the end of the fiscal year in which the special message is sent. The ICA language on deferrals is long-standing budget law that allows the Executive branch to delay the obligation or expenditure of funding only for the specified reasons rather than policy reasons.
**************
Doesn’t the fiscal year for the US government begin October 1?
“Sadly Trump is done and over with this...He had them and caved...He won’t ever get another term...”
You should win an award for the most asinine post of the day.
“He had them and caved.”
You evidently can’t read.
*ROFLMAO*
You are correct. Pearl clutching has become contagious. We do not even know what this means yet.
Big mistake. For the life of me, I can’t fathom why he caved on this.
WTF.
-RINOs & Ds are furious.
That's our guy...best President Evah
Unexpected
Massive
-RINOs & Ds are furious...and the MSM, GOPe for good measure.
Who left the cat door open... dang
I never put my faith in man as they will always fail...Trump did many good things but from 2 weeks before the election to present he has really fowled up..
Someone that will be flushed with the rest of the turds at the great FR purge of 2021 . . .
You are correct. Pearl clutching has become contagious. We do not even know what this means yet.
If the left hates it, I love it.
Yes, it’s that simple.
Just read a couple pages of your posting history...Did you vote for Hillary in 2016 and Biden last month???
You sure do seem to favor their party...
“If their mad then it means Trump did a good thing...LOLOL”
They aren’t mad. That’s fake news. twitter doesn’t know what the Impoundment Act of 1974 does.

Wtf
LOL You clowns just get more stupid by the second I voted both times for Trump and would again...I guess you thing the GOP represents your views...NOT!
“Clearly Bonehead President Trump had them by the short hairs and had Public support behind him and should have never signed this POS bill but you are a true believer and never let reality get in the way”
You give yourself away by referring to President Trump in such a disrespectful manner. Who the hell are you? What have you done in your life that even remotely approaches what this man has accomplished?
Somebody put the cat out and shut that cat door
Republicans already control the states taken by fraud and have shown a disinclination to change things.
