Dragonbreath has never been right on anything. Ever,

Completer idiot when it comes to how America works.

It shows.

 

[Foxfyre]

He said he was going to get the price of eggs down and that he was going to solve the Ukraine/Russia war on day one.

Promises made, promises not kept.

No he didn't say that.

 

[westwall]

It's already been established they can't do that. A judge will have it shot down within hours.

you keep saying that.....but they keep ignoring you.

Pam Bondi does not have the power to freeze any funds not directly coo trolled by the Justice Dept.
Nor does she have the authority to freeze money already appropriated by Congress.

So, if any aid is being frozen, it’s most likely to be aid to local law enforcement.

But she is following her boss’ example.

Making wildpronouncements like this that will turn into nothing other than a means to entertain the Trump knuckledraggers for another day.

Care to bet? Oh look, you already lost!

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Win or lose? fifty fifty. lol.

Potential legal challenges to Bondi's policies are here:

• Sanctuary Cities and Federal Funding: Concerns exist regarding the legality of withholding federal grants from sanctuary cities, particularly in relation to the Tenth Amendment, which is meant to protect states and localities from federal overreach[8].
• First Amendment Issues: As attorney general, Bondi opposed halting the Florida Constitution Revision Commission’s proposal of multiple amendments on the November 2018 ballot, and challengers of this proposal argued that it violated the First Amendment rights of voters by improperly bundling issues that should be considered separately[2].
• Conflicts of Interest: Critics have questioned whether Bondi will bring a "transactional philosophy" to the Justice Department, given her history of taking "donations and free travel" from targets of potential investigations when she was Florida’s Attorney General[3].
• Voting Rights: Bondi's actions and statements following the 2020 election, specifically her fueling of unfounded claims about voting conspiracies and election fraud, raise concerns about her devotion to the rule of law[1].
• Independence of the DOJ: There are concerns that the DOJ would terminate career lawyers just for disagreeing with the administration’s policies, given Bondi’s longtime fidelity to Trump and her work to further his political agenda through her work at AFPI[1].
• Prosecutorial Discretion: A memo from Bondi stated that prosecutors could face firings if they refuse to sign onto briefs or appear in court to argue on behalf of the administration, raising concerns about the independence of prosecutorial decision-making[4][7].

Given Pam Bondi's record and previous legal challenges, here's how the U.S. Supreme Court might view her decisions:

• Challenges to the Affordable Care Act (ACA): The Supreme Court previously rejected a challenge to the ACA that Bondi supported, and later dismissed another challenge on procedural grounds[1]. This history might make the court skeptical of future challenges to healthcare laws supported by Bondi.
• Voting Rights: Bondi's actions following the 2020 election, and her involvement with the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) in lawsuits that critics say would disenfranchise voters, could be scrutinized, especially given the court's past rulings on voting rights[2]. The Supreme Court has rejected claims made by Bondi regarding the 2020 election[2].
• Sanctuary Cities and Federal Funding: There are concerns about the legality of withholding federal grants from sanctuary cities, particularly in relation to the Tenth Amendment, which is meant to protect states and localities from federal overreach.

The Supreme Court's composition and views can evolve, influencing its approach to legal questions.

Awwww! Soiling yourself because a few pennies of your tax dollars (if you actually pay any) are being used to help feed poor kids, MAGA puke?

 

[Nostra]

Funny how all these "Sanctuary Cities" are only a sanctuary until illegals show up in their town. Then they get bumrushed out inside of 24 hours like at Martha's Vinyard.

Virtue signaling is all they are. And the idiot Dimtard Cult eats it up .

That is literally NOT what USAID does.

 

[Lastamender]

That is literally NOT what USAID does.

They don't care if kids eat. They care if they are not exposed to deviant ideas. The things they support ruin families.

 

[WEATHER53]

The biggest technical action thus far!

Well you seemed to think that Biden as a VP had the authority to freeze funds voted to Ukraine aid. Remember his open statements on TV to that fact? What's good for the democratic goose is good for the republican gander.

How is this going to hurt the sanctuary cities anyhow? These are all liberal utopias that love high taxes. They can just raise their tax rates.
