Trump resurrects the Liberal Party in Canada.
He's just following orders.
"But, I'm President, and their not."
Has Canada ever been this riled up
Trump did that.
the USA is less free than it was on Jan 19th
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/09/watchlist-decline-civic-freedoms-civicusThe United States has been added to the Civicus Monitor Watchlist, which identifies countries that the global civil rights watchdog believes are currently experiencing a rapid decline in civic freedoms.
Civicus, an international non-profit organization dedicated to “strengthening citizen action and civil society around the world”, announced the inclusion of the US on the non-profit’s first watchlist of 2025 on Monday, alongside the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Italy, Pakistan and Serbia.
The watchlist is part of the Civicus Monitor, which tracks developments in civic freedoms across 198 countries. Other countries that have previously been featured on the watchlist in recent years include Zimbabwe, Argentina, El Salvador and the United Arab Emirates.
Well, at least Trump loves the vets!...oh - wait!

One way to understand the problem of eggs is consistent with similar problems we’re seeing in other parts of the economy. From baby formula to cancer drugs to beef, shortages and supply shocks in concentrated industries are now routine.
In other words, the current egg crisis is what the Sovietization of American business looks like. We don’t have egg companies in the business of making eggs anymore. We have egg companies in the business of exploiting egg shortages, almost a private government of eggs. This dynamic is so extreme that the Agriculture Secretary had to go on something of a diplomatic mission to Cal-Maine last month to try to sweet-talk its executives into loosening their grip on the egg supply — and walked out of her meeting saying the USDA is going to pay egg producers to rebuild the country’s hen flock at a time when rebuilding the hen flock is going to be more profitable for them than it has ever been.

The Justice Department’s pardon attorney was dismissed a day after she refused to recommend that the actor Mel Gibson, a prominent supporter of President Trump’s, should have his gun rights restored, according to the attorney and others familiar with the situation.https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/u...Y.aDrJYwB6Jb5d
Elizabeth G. Oyer, the former pardon attorney, described the sequence of events as an alarming departure from longstanding practice, one that put public safety and the department’s integrity at risk. Mr. Gibson had lost his gun rights as a result of a 2011 domestic violence misdemeanor conviction.
“This is dangerous. This isn’t political — this is a safety issue,” Ms. Oyer said in an interview with The New York Times as she described the internal discussions about whether to give gun rights back to people with domestic violence convictions.
propping himself up on antisemitism to try to disappear legal residents has a bitterly ironic feel
we're already in bad king territory, threatening universities by decree doesn't seem all that radical next to the swiftly completed administrative coup
Anti antisemitism good now in your book, eh?propping himself up on antisemitism to try to disappear legal residents has a bitterly ironic feel
we're already in bad king territory, threatening universities by decree doesn't seem all that radical next to the swiftly completed administrative coup
Yeah, that old man don't miss a trick, huh? tee, hee.
Him mighty crafty for a gentile.
oh but this guy gets a presidential pardon
"Vote for the bill so that the president can refuse to spend the money you just voted for" is whole other level of saying the quiet part out loud.
of course, Congressional Republicans can always beg El0n/Trump personally to honor to the spending they passed a law about
Democrats probably won't have much luck with that
the dems should not vote for the CR
what's the point of Congress appropriating funds if it's up to the president whether and how to spend them?
here is the answer:
Lara Trump on hannity propaganda show suggests muricans should be kissing the feet of trump and musk!
Hey don't scoff - it has worked for trump for decades and it only cost him a mouthful of russian toes!
every perv magat trumper ought to be FORCED to sit and listen to these truth bombs about their boy musk and the evangelical christian hypocrite magats they idolize;
While Congress has the Cons utional "Power of the Purse" to allocate funds, the Executive Branch shares the "Purse" responsibilities and has discretion on the spending of those funds. The President has the Cons utional responsibility to ensure the spending of those funds is done without fraud, waste, and abuse. For example, I'm confident, and correct me if I'm mistaken, there was no line in the budget to specifically fund "Iraqi Sesame Street." The question will be, is the current administration obligated to expend funds contracted by the previous administration if it is determined to be the product of "fraud, waste, and abuse." The Executive Branch has a fiduciary responsibility to ensure the citizens' taxpayer dollars are spent as intended. Presidents cancel contracts all the time. Remember Biden and the "Keystone Pipeline?"
This is correct. Congress appropriates a specified sum for USAID to use for foreign aid, but leaves it to USAID to solicit grant applications and decide which grant applications to fund.
The Trump Admin hit the "pause" button to consider whether continuing to spend money on the approved grants over the remaining 6 months of this fiscal year was consistent with the new foreign policy goals rather than waste money on Biden Admin goals that are going to be abandoned.
it's impoundment, and it's illegal
