NPR sues Trump over executive order cutting federal funding

[Zincwarrior]

The chief executive can do a hell of a lot, SCOTUS has already ruled that.

Yes, but the executive has to obey the law and separation of powers.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Yes, but the executive has to obey the law and separation of powers.

Like potato did with student loan forgiveness?

 

[airplanemechanic]

Yes, but the executive has to obey the law and separation of powers.

But the judicial doesn't, huh?

Care to explain how Trump can't suspend money for NPR but senile child molester could appropriate funds that didn't exist to forgive student loans.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

“National Public Radio on Tuesday sued President Donald Trump over his executive order to cease all federal funding for the nonprofit broadcaster.

Trump’s May 1 order violates the First Amendment’s protections for speech and the press and steps on Congress’ authority, NPR and three other public radio stations wrote in the lawsuit filed in federal court Washington, D.C.”

Very good.

Trump is an authoritarian despot with nothing but contempt for the First Amendment, a free press, and the Constitution.

Government funded speech is called propaganda, not free speech

He tried and failed if you remember.

Yea, I think they forget about it supposedly being "free." If taxpayers are paying for it, it ain't FREE.

 

[airplanemechanic]

He tried and failed if you remember.

But not a single liberal on this forum said he couldn't do it. And yes, he did forgive some student loans so the question still remains.

It's trash. They rebroadcast DNC propaganda, racism, anti-Semitism, and violence.

My husband used to listen when he was alone in the car, and all I had to do is look at him and he'd slap the on/off control.

One of our daughters, she's 20 now, watched The View once. She told me it made her head hurt.

She's been raised right

Dude it's HORRIBLE. Literally, its like PMSDNC for the radio. CNN comes across as centrist compared to those ******* whackos.

I don't recollect saying he could do it. I don't recollect saying anything about it.
Now back to the actual thread.

I don't recollect a single liberal on here saying he couldn't. In fact I remember a SHIT TON saying he could because he was president.

But if Trump wants to do something, OH NO HE HAS TO ANSWER THE GODS OF CONGRESS.

Yep. Hubby used to watch what was on before The View, and if he was tardy about changing the channel while I was in the room, he'd scramble for the remote.

Commie fighting back!

But Trump goes...

 

[airplanemechanic]

He tried and failed if you remember.

In fact if memory serves me right, SCOTUS told Biden he couldn't do it and Bidumb told SCOTUS to **** off, and he CONTINUED to do it.

So what is this about Trump ignoring the courts?

Yet you admitted the courts stopped Biden also. He was able to get some through using existing legal authority at the time.

All COngress has to do, is just not fund them.

 

[airplanemechanic]

They tried. I admit Biden was told by SCOTUS he couldn't do it, and he said **** you and did it anyway.

I remember that well. Do you? Why were you silent about that but up in arms about Trump?
