What would be your message to these people?


If you start veer of the side of the road don't over correct your steering. Try avoid making sudden, large adjustments to the steering wheel when trying to correct your vehicle's course, as this can easily lead to loss of control and potentially dangerous situations; instead, make smooth, gradual steering inputs to regain control.

Judges trampling upon the rights of the Executive branch need to be punished. Congress should pass a law that the President has the right to audit any agnecy in the executive branch with whomever he chooses and to stop payments that are wasteful and fraudulent. The dems who go against this are going to be scorched in the next election. Trump hasd the authority to take away security clearances and he has the authority to grant them. A political appointee who was appointed by an elected president has more right to review sensitive information than some bureaucrat who believes his liberal agenda trumps what is best for the nation's welfare.

Oh ok, so we’re don’t pretending I should be upset the federal government had an IT department and were onto “he only makes suggestions”

I mean besides the information he can now access that is protected by federal law, i guess I will take comfort in the guy making suggestions to the president having no idea how our government works.

Is English your second language? And yes…he is making suggestions. Do you think otherwise?

Which information are you referring to, specifically? And what federal law are you referring to, specifically? I guarantee you don’t know and you are just ignorantly repeating some msnbc talking point.

So….you prefer status quo? Yikes.

He didn’t freeze funds, the executive did. Doge is just auditing

And congress doesn’t allocate line item spending just budget

Lack of understanding on this is amazing. SFP certainly hasn’t grasped the concept

In those specific cases has the funds been shutoff?

You are right in some cases they do specify a specific item to be bought or a program to have certain funds

But how those funds are actually spent is not done by congress

So if both parties are moving this direction, we need to make sure we are the ones in power when the shoe drops. I wish I could say I’m joking about all of this.


Exactly. All this is ok if you agree with who is in charge. When you have a tranny that identifies as a dog on weekends as president and they are pushing their agenda on us it's not good.

What, specifically, is his conflict of interest?


He has open investigations and litigation that is occurring against his companies by 11 of the 12 federal agencies that he has attacked, so far.

He has just been awarded a federal contract worth $400 million for armored Tesla cybertrucks.

... and all of this is occurring while he's asserting some interest in "eliminating corruption" in the federal government.

Also, how does someone making a couple hundred thousand per year become millionaires over time? Where are they acquiring their wealth?


Is this a joke? How is someone making a couple hundred thousand a year NOT becoming a millionaire over time?
