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.

Does it still contain the insurrection act text?
Loyalty is judged by your actions in times of struggle. Has the President not shown strength in the last two weeks?
Go drink some hemlock and end it for yourself.
It doesn't force Congress to do anything; it invites them to. But the current Congress ends in 6 days.
Sleeper/troll accounts. I’ve seen a few before despite my short time here...
They feel emboldened right now. Report.
caved? He took the same Act they tried to impeach him over in ‘19 and threw it right back in their faces a year later. Like a blueberry pie. All sticky sweet with irony.
I love Trump.
In the past, Congress has simply ignored other Presidents citing the act.
Joke is on POTUS here.
I would like to know who talked him into this.
POTUS cannot fight Congress now if signed. They just take his signature and blow off the rest.
POTUS simply has no Constitutional mechanism to force Congress to do anything once he signs his me.
Whoever persuaded Trump to do this, is an enemy. But too late now.
By Trump signing this bill it’s a slap in the face of all Americans and all he has done, he didn’t have to sign it...
my bet is on Mark Meadows
Only trying to figure out how confident you are in what you say. Do you vow to give $1,000 to Free Republic if Trump proves you wrong?
“Strange characters at the ready to write Trump’s obituary have been popping up like bad mushrooms around here lately.”
Strange. I don’t know what to make of these people. Have they been here all along.
I don’t believe you.....
Another embarrassment to this site.
He already won his second term last month.
Check his/her posting history...He/she has posted maybe 40 times since 2009...
I can’t breathe, I am laughing so much.
President Trump can with hold the monies till mid February.
There is prolly more than 1001 ways to frame/compose a message to Congress to request a Rescission of the funds.
That is more than enough time for Nancy and Chuck to cave and submit a new spending bill to open the Government.
The left has 40 days to wake up and understand Nancy, Chuck and AOC short changed them viv a vis the rest of the world.
If so, that's a good thing.
A lot of people commenting should be spending your time in a remedial reading class. President Trump has not caved on anything. President Trump is fighting for the American people. This man has single handedly fought off every attack that has been launched at him since before he announced his first campaign. If you think he’s giving up now you are very wrong.
I want him in for his second term even more now. I’m anxious to see him unleashed and pissed off.
