Instead of whining like little girls, the Democrats ought to introduce articles of impeachment.

Yeah, that's the ticket...

The rats must feel as if they’re on the receiving end of a fire hose.

“However, Democratic Senator Patty Murray called the White House order “a brazen & illegal move.”

“The law is the law — Trump must immediately reverse course, follow the requirements of the law, & ensure the nation’s spending laws are implemented as Congress intended,” she posted on X.”

He didn’t freeze “Aid” they made that clear in the press conference. They froze spending but not direct aid to people like SS, Medicare, Food Stamps, etc.

They are just lying again. Of course.

“”This is political vandalism. Taking a wrecking ball to federal agencies does nothing to make government more efficient but it is already doing grave damage to people and programs throughout the country,” Senator Chris Van Hollen said on X.”

"...However, the aggressive shake-up is also aimed at making sure that federal spending programs -- and government employees -- support his right-wing political goals..."

What?!! How terrible! What a monster!

God forbid money get sent to people burned out of their houses due to Leftist policies, be distributed to Americans who suffered terrible losses in a hurricane, be spent on border control or law enforcement, or heresies of all heresies, be allowed to keep more of it in their own pockets, but instead, send that money to protect the borders of Ukraine, support the UN, or NATO, or WHO, or given to countries like Colombia, Mexico, Iran, and yes, even Afghanistan who hate us and want us dead.

I hope in the next four years, these people get so breathless and worked up their heads simply explode and they go away.

Am I a bad person for thinking this?

(That is a wholly rhetorical question.)

"to dismantle large sections of the US government"

Dissolve the worthless DHS. The only need, was a central office for collecting info from various agencies, when our country is under attack.

Same as, there needs to be a central office, where the logistics and spending (egs.: "foreign assistance") data is collected, so the Chief Executive knows the information.

Instead of the current "system" that hides the logistics and spending activities of many "special executives" and bureaucrats . . . who have the extra-Constitutional notions, that they are branches of the federal government, answerable to their liberal media club.

Probably a good idea. We did afterall lose 500 billion in the Covid fund giveaway spree. Clearly we don’t have any controls in place.

One of our Tech Giants needs to do an analysis of all these programs to see what groups, ‘communities’ etc are getting the bulk of the money.

They’re mad because I’m betting the pause is to figure out where the money is really going.

It’s amazing. Once you realize/are clued in to how the Left is so interconnected in their responses, you can’t help but see it as plain as the nose on your face. “Talking points” all around.

This writer just doesn't get it. These aren't "right-wing" political goals-they're America First political goals.
