Nevermind the fact that the Executive branch has no legal authority to decide how the US government spends taxpayer money. Only Congress had to power of the purse and decides where the money gets spent. Congresses inability to pass a long term budget does not negate the fact that monies have been allocated by them in the recent past. The executive branch has side-lined Congress by deciding the programs where cuts must be made. We have tolerated the expansion of Executive power for far too long.

Expansion of Executive power is a nice way of saying “we have tolerated a convicted felon Insurrectionist who should never been on the ballot and his immigrant Special K fanboy with his legion of cyber hackers to steal our money” An impotent Congress and Supreme Court has allowed this to happen.

So who are the stupid ones?

This important source of media is being threatened by Trump and others - if interested this link will take you to a page that will connect you to ways to contact your Congress member. If you aren’t American like me ( I am Canadian) - use numbers like 12345 for a zip code

An expert? At 19? What could he possibly be an expert in besides video games and jerking off? Crime. I guess he’s an expert criminal.

I thought the same when News reports came out that he was stepping back right as the legal questions and court challenges were giving them unwanted attention. I don't knkw how anyone would take anything this regime claims at face value.

Of course he doesn't understand the payment systems. Most of the data about who and how much and why is in a different system that generates the command to pay.
