Democracy is disappearing right before our eyes.

Defying Congress, Trump Moves to Cut $4.9 Billion in Foreign Aid​

The White House has informed Congress it intends to cancel $4.9 billion that lawmakers approved for foreign aid programs, invoking a little-known and legally untested power to slash spending without their approval.

The 15-page notification, sent to Congress on Thursday night and reviewed by The New York Times, is the administration’s first effort to push through what is known as a “pocket rescission.” It is an effort to unilaterally claw back money that has already been appropriated by waiting so late in the fiscal year to make the request that lawmakers do not have time to reject it before the funding expires.

The fiscal year ends on Sept. 30, before the 45-day period in which Congress is required to consider a rescission request from the White House. Republicans could bring the matter to a vote sooner, but party leaders have shown little appetite for resisting the president’s spending demands and asserting their own prerogatives.

If supporters of all things Don weren't for this before they sure as shootin' are for it now. Usurping congressional authority on spending by means of a novel, dubiously legal gambit? It goes without saying, not a problem.

Diminishing our influence in the world, leaving a vacuum for countries like China to fill. Remember when Nixon said, ""Well, when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal." Ditto for Don for trump devotees.

But hey........

So Trump uses a little know power he has and this clown whines and cries about DEMOCRACY IS DESAPPEARING!!!!!!!!!!!!!


What a moron.

Show us in the Constitution where it says Congress has the power to take our money and give it away around the world.

Betcha can't

There are millions of ignorant jackasses who are too stupid to question anything Trump does. Plus there's a former political party who are nothing more then figure heads as his lapdogs scared shitless that they'll be primaried if they cross him & will lose their cushy job.

People wonder whether or not Trump is an authoritarin. The ones who are either blind or stupid.

Cry more, loser.

 

[TheGreatSatan]

Giving a boost to China's efforts in spreading its influence in the world is great news for Americans? The prez usurping what has always been the purview of Congress in yet another autocratic power grab is good for Americans? You sound like an enemy of America.

Congress?

Like swallowswell and his ccp handler fang fang?

It sucks for your propaganda too. You won't be able to pay YouTubers as much. The amount of tax dollars to fund propaganda and elections was sick. Integrity and all that.

And I thought I had heard all the looney conspiracy theories. You guys have a million of 'em.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

It's just an ugly, perfectly-timed match between a desperate segment of a population and the right con man. People aren't going to accept incredible flaws like this unless they're willing to delude themselves. How did such a large part of our population become this hopeless?

Well, it is a cult.

Normal people would have hung the traitor, and everyone else, that participated after the attempted insurrection on January 6th.

Now Trump and his cult are protecting child molesters.

I think about that dynamic far more than I think about any of the politics of this.

The extortion (politics) doesn't help, Trump's cult is fine with that too.

 

[berg80]

Congress?

Like swallowswell and his ccp handler fang fang?

The Repubs investigated and found nothing. But don't worry, there are plenty more right wing media lies to choose from to fill your day.

I heard Trump is going to use another power he has.

Revenge, rage, retribution.

This has always reminded me of the day after 9/11, when we learned that Al Qaeda was "at war" with us.

Huh? Who? At war? What? I'm not at war.

Two different worlds.

After that dickhead POS, had the gall to of course............. BRAG.

On 9/11 Trump bragged he now had tallest building in Manhattan​

'Forty Wall Street actually was the second-tallest building in downtown Manhattan,' Mr Trump said erroneously on 9/11. 'Now it's the tallest.'


Twenty-one years after 9/11, we can still hear Donald Trump’s reaction to the terrorist attacks – and it was a strange one.

That’s because on 11 September, 2001, the future US president called into the TV station WWOR to talk about the day’s tragic events. Then, oddly, he turned his attention to the height of one of his properties, which he falsely claimed was now the tallest building in lower Manhattan.

“Well, it was an amazing phone call,” Mr Trump told WWOR. “I mean, 40 Wall Street actually was the second-tallest building in downtown Manhattan. And it was actually – before the World Trade Center – was the tallest. And then when they built the World Trade Center, it became known as the second-tallest, and now it’s the tallest.”

 

[Man With A Plan]

A person has to be a conman of enormous skills to convince millions of people that as a failed businessman who doesn't read, believes he knows more about everything than experts in their field, is emotionally stunted, and makes mistake after mistake after mistake........never admitting to any of them.........he is qualified and capable to unilaterally make decisions literally affecting all aspects of American life from what universities teach, to what we see in museums, to how to run a city, to how to run an election, to who should run a company, to who law firms can defend..................

When in truth he's the last person who should be in charge of anything requiring knowledge, tolerance, patience, a willingness for compromise, a collaborative spirit, and a recognition his image of himself is a deluded fantasy.

How you portray Donald Trump is belied by the job he's done as President, Berg. He's not doing anything he didn't promise to do when he was running for reelection making him one of the few politicians who's kept promises.

One by one he's rectifying problems that the left have created and the Democrats can't seem to do anything to stop him. It's driving liberals into a veritable froth of frustration. Trump is fixing things and all they have are more of the same failed policies that broke things in the first place!

This midterm election could very well be the biggest political beat down one Party has ever had. The Democrat Party is controlled by the far left and it keeps veering further to the left which has millions of Americans leaving the Party in frustration.

A moment that perfectly encapsulates his approach to life, and his presidency. "IT'S ALL ABOUT ME."
