Democracy is disappearing right before our eyes.

[Nostra]

What the hell does foreign aid spending have to do with democracy.

You just don’t get it.

Trump did it, so it’s fascist, a threat to democracy, racist, homophobic, misogynist, and anti-puppy.

All you get from these clowns is the claptrap they are fed.

 

[berg80]

Moves to, as in using lawful means to achieve an end.

Putting aside your dubious claim that what trump is doing is lawful (see post 87), the obvious end he is trying to achieve is autocracy. If there was ever a doubt about it when he term began it's now been erased.

A laundry list of the corruption of the America hating Dimwinger party.

Hey berg80 , pick anything on the list and explain to the class how we should be spending money on it.

Then show us where in the Constitution is it allowed.

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.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/us/politics/trump-foreign-aid.html

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........

You clearly don’t know what democracy is. Wow

 

[scruffy]

It ain't democracy that's disappearing.

It's safety and security.

Trump is doing nothing more than every president before him, testing the limits of executive power. Unlike Biden, Trump has never defied the Supreme Court. This is just more silly TDS whining.

At some point, you get so tired of all of the obstruction and obstinacy that you wind up doing things yourself.

At what point does one go: "The 'rules' be damned. I'm doing these things for the betterment of my fellow man. I'll follow rules when they are just, but not when they are used or made to obstruct the performance of my duty to the people."?

Foreign aid doesn’t buy influence. Countries have come to expect it, and take it then laugh at us. We are borrowing money to give away to countries that don’t either like or respect us. It all needs to end forever.

 

[Dorian Mode]

You clearly don’t know what democracy is. Wow

You have to understand democrap Newspeak. Democracy to most people simply means that the people collectively decide their fate, while the Newspeak definition of democracy is authoritarian rule by a small group of vile democraps. So, for the democraps Trump IS destroying their democracy, in the Newspeak sense. Trump IS saving democracy in the commonly used sense.

Illegal immigration has miraculously stopped. You guys said it couldn't be done.

Where did you get that from?

Truth Social, FOX or Newsmax, etc.

We wanted to clean up government waste, well on its way.

LOL, with Trump and his cult?

You're delusional.

We wanted to quit being the patsy of every country on earth, how about that.

Your dear leader is a patsy.
TACO.

More private sector jobs instead of the ever ballooning government empire, well done.

WHERE?

I'm fairly satisfied. Bondi needs to get her butt in gear.

She should be in prison.

They say powerful people can't be prosecuted, but there needs to be a reckoning.

It is also nice that the FBI is no longer going after enemies of the Democrat Party.

LOL.

Well said. Just a note, watch out for the neo-leftists here, they are a very belligerent, militant group and have been driven psychologically insane by democrap propaganda. Don't ever give out any information they can use to hunt you down and kill you.

Poor Hillary.
Most qualified candidate in history and she lost to another amateur.

She's also the most hated candidate in history. She was absolutely hated by her peers when she was in the senate. Obama hated her. But she was the biggest power player in the DNC so she was untouchable. It's interesting that the only people who actually like Hillary Clinton are the same people that are hated by the rest of the country. I am sure when all the dust from the democrap crash settles, the truth will come out that the most influential people in the DNC who caused the fall of the democrap party were the Clintons.
