10. No One Voted For This

11. How is this legal?!?
That money was allocated by Congress and he does not have the Constitutional authority to stop the funds mandated by law.

27. It’s not legal, but there’s nothing we can do about it. Law don’t apply to this person.

17. “Gave him a mandate?” To suspend and/or freeze every single fucking government service? Give me a fucking break.

He can’t just do this because he wants to. He’s not a king. That agency shouldn’t be going along with this. What am I missing?

23. If there were any justice I would put the author(s) of this on death row (as it will cause a lot of death), and give them 48 hours to either face the needle, or else produce solid proof that federal money was being used to “advance Marxist equity,” and define specifically what that even means, or, as an option, go on prime time national television and admit they lied and made it up, and on whose orders.

2. This is illegal. Where are Congressional Dems? This is a five alarm fire AND the sky IS falling kinda thing.

12. Block Grants? Medicaid, SNAP, HUD, Educational Assistance, Drug Treatment, Disability services, Transportation Assistance, Heating Assistance... They really tore it all down, didn’t they. I’m sure they’re going to equate it to ripping the bandaid off quick, and all those lazy elderly, disabled, and children will just suddenly realize they all need to get off their lazy asses and fix their own problems - or starve in a ditch...

1. it is extremely bad people will die.

It’s all blatantly a violation of separation of powers. They are blending the state with religion and big business. Governance by decree or EO’s is not legislation. This is like edicts from a Royal throne.

6. The media needs to announce we are in a dictatorship.

7. He’s doing this to instigate unrest and then he can invoke the insurrection act

11. Yes it’s a Constitutional crisis, I’m hoping someone is in court at 8 am to file an injunction. Trump is seizing the power of Congress’s power of the purse. It’s a violation of the Impoundment Act and needs immediate attention.

13. Your comparison to a tsunami is spot on. There is no one coming to save us. There is no high ground to run to. The only thing to do is hold on as best as you can and wait for the chaos to pass, hoping there will be something left that you recognize, that those you love and care about survive somehow.

(And on, and on, and on...)

I believe the debt limit has been reached.

Before Comrade Joe Biden and his merry band of unconstitutional communists left office they raided the Treasury so that his Treasury secretary announced ‘extreme measures’.

Democratic blocked increasing the debt limit for Trump. Therefore, he has to halt spending to make the nation solvent from the Democratic party spending spree. Democrats DID THIS, not TRUMP.

Trump has to stop spending, raise government revenue quickly (ie Tariffs). It’s simple, they need to blame themselves.

CONGRESS ALSO AUTHORIZED STUDENT LOANS

THEN BIDEN SAID THE LOANS DIDN’T HAVE TO BE PAID BACK

CANNOT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS.

But it was okay when Obams and Biden ignored the law (pen and a phone, school loan forgiveness).
