Called blatantly unconstitutional, blue states plan to sue to block this order.

We do need to trim the fat but doing it this way is confusing and chaotic for all states.


Edit:

Move now stayed (stopped) by judge...

Federal judge temporarily blocks Trump administration freeze on federal grants and loans

A federal judge has temporarily blocked a push from President Donald Trump to pause federal funding while his administration conducts an across-the-board ideological review to uproot progressive initiatives.

It is also illegal, not that conservatives give a shit about the rule of law.

You know all those biotech stocks you like? They rely on the FDA working in order to start and run their trials, and to get drug approvals that make them money. Maybe you should be picking up the phone to complain to your reps about the incompetent Trump administration.

You don't need trials. FDA should be a paid service. Give them money and your drug gets approved. No questions asked.

I am listening to MSNBC and they are in panic mode.

Only works once and then the pipeline dries up.

Your thread title just proves you're still mostly a disingenuous schmuck.

As a Republican I'm up in arms too. This will probably be blocked. The president is required to spend money as voted on by Congress.

Trump himself claimed 3T in blocks which represents over 10% of the US economy.

is this a game of take backs? How can the courts, tell a man, who the SCOTUS gave full immunity to, giving him the power and authority, to do what ever he wants, that he can't do that?

I agree, electing Trump is confusing and chaotic for all states. Yet here we are. FAFO....

We are in the finding out stage. Congratu-fucking-lations to the dipshit conservatives who voted for this. You are reaping what you sowed.

Chuck Grassley called for a halt to this so maybe the OP title need to be modified to...

Republicans and Democrats are up in arms

Not just voted for this, but voted for years in ways that laid the groundwork for this insanity.

The idea isn't all that bad, the implementation is world class stupid. Major bungle by Trump.

Illegal impoundment isn't "all that bad"?

Can you point to where in the Constitution that the president gets to decide how legally appropriated money does or does not get spent?

This isn't a bungle, it's a coordinated effort to remake the US government that's about four decades in the making.

You're out of your depth.

Feed "isn't all that bad" into the nazi to normal people translator and it comes out, "doesn't appear to affect me, personally."

Don't call Greenman a Nazi or Nazi adjacent, or he might vote for more Nazis because you hurt his feelings.

IMO these things have to Hurt the Right People (TM) otherwise we're all just moving around a bunch of hot air.

Also let's not pretend that Republicans saying anything means anything. I'm sure pearls are being clutched for the cameras while balls are being fondled off screen on this and the rest of Trump's moves to log-jam the system.

They're gonna start hurting the people that have a 1.2:1 firearm to human ratio if they aren't careful.
