Trump aid freeze stirs chaos before it is blocked in court

The Supreme Court better put on it's s-kickers. Imagine a Democratic president halting all funding to red states unless abortion restrictions are eliminated.

he just likes to act tough. that’s all he’s got since he did nothing in his first term for people.

lowered taxes for the wealthy and corporations. ballooned the deficit by $8 trillion. built less wall that mexico didn’t pay for than biden. deported less people than biden or obama. ordered no more veterans in wheelchairs at events because it looks bad for him. refused to go to d-day services and cemeteries because it was raining.

From pausing research on cures for childhood cancer to halting food assistance, safety from domestic violence, and closing suicide hotlines, the impact of even a short pause in funding could be devastating and cost lives,"

Of course it could be. And it will be! But that's what the MAGA crowd voted for. Pain and suffering for everyone to compensate for their own failures and inferiority complexes. And then there are the clueless doofuses who voted Trump "because the inflation!!!", who now not only have more expensive eggs, but also no Medicaid anymore. Great job guys!

The Supreme Court better put on it's s-kickers.

Why, he has the constitutional right to fire any government employee

Imagine a Democratic president halting all funding to red states unless abortion restrictions are eliminated.

Dems never cared about cutting anything, why would they? Look at California’s deficit which is now $2 billion.

Promises made, promises kept.

Surely this will be a focused pause and review type thing, typical for an incoming administration. Not hard to imagine the media are making mountains out of molehills on this one. The doctor is also ordering a full audit of the previous administration's spending.

They found $50,000,000 going to support Condoms for Gaza? Yeah condoms for Gaza! Unbelievable amount of money laundering

If only the left told truths! It doesn’t stop Medicaid but it does stop it for illegals! Cleaning house and that’s what the far left hate! Wait until he freezes the bank accounts of all the far left NGO’s and the Soros family!

This is the fine print that liberals continuously gloss over, hoping the average doesn’t notice.

quote: We don't live in an autocracy.

I think you do now.

In terms of democracy, a president is a bug, not a feature.

Foreign entities can pivot to China. Americans will have to crowd fund or call it a day.

Elections have consequences. As with Brexit, people who couldn't be bothered to vote can't complain.

Why does the far left hate financial accountability especially when we have videos showing many of these people bragging about sending money out of the government to hurt Trumps agenda!

a leftist judge just placed a pause on this but it will be overturned!

Keep going backwards..

Making easier the job for China..

What a comedy of country..

No.

Not mean spirited at all.

I used to think America was a generous nation....here they dont even care about their own

Keep going backwards.. 

Hardly

Making easier the job for China.. 

China has its own internal political problems it needs to deal with.

What a comedy of country..

But at least we have comedy…

Why does the far left hate financial accountability

Personally I love financial accountability, which is why I think Trump should be in jail for his New York fraud case.

If the Dems are saying it's hitting Medicaid, that means it's not hitting Medicaid.

That party has an undeniable history of lying and scaremongering about such things.

overhaul the federal government, which has already seen the new president halt foreign aid, impose a hiring freeze and shutter diversity programs across dozens of agencies.

The heart and soul of Project 2025 (minus the name).

Remember? That project that Trump claimed he didn't know anything about. The one all his followers claimed would never come to fruition.

Promises made, promises kept.

Lies made, lies kept.

Look at California’s deficit which is now $2 billion.

For a state that alone would have the world's 4th largest GDP of it was a country, that's pretty small.

But California has to subsidise all those poor red states that all love a bit of wealth redistribution when they are the beneficiaries.

“Trump should be in jail for his New York fraud case.”

You mean the fake case they lied about his properties? Oh that judge was removed from the bench!

The new FBI director is going to be investigating the other far left soros funded corrupt judge whose daughter made over $15 million from the case under her own NGO!

Your right about one thing accountability is coming!

You mean the fake case they lied about his properties?

No, I mean the real case involving his company defrauding banks and by extension the taxpayers. Maybe you missed it? Might be "404 Page Not Found" like your account.

Just one of the many "Project 2025" arrows aimed at the MAGA little guy...

They are going to be so screwed - jobs taken by H1B foreigners, no healthcare, no social security, no unemployment...

There's one truth in MAGA-world - the billionaire oligarchs get the goldmine, the MAGA little guy gets the shaft...

“I mean the real case involving his company defrauding banks and by extension the taxpayers. Maybe you missed it? Might be "404 Page Not Found" like your account.”

he did none of those things! Even the banks said he paid back all his loans! I know you missed that because the narrative had to be pushed!

The Lawyers and judges met with the Biden administration before their corrupt law-fair against Trump.

Prison is right around the corner for all of the politicians and far left activists involved

It's time to stop all the leaking. Tons of money are being spend and going somewhere. He did the right thing to see where all the money goes and if it's well spend or not. He has the balls to do something most would never do due to pissing off many powerful people. You have to be very naive if you think if most of the projects aren't just money schemes to fill the pockets of many people.

next up, republicans saying kids need to go work at mcdonald’s instead of getting school lunches.

trump needs to go after illegal migrants in agriculture, meat processing and construction quickly. and throw tariffs on every country right away. cancel everyone’s health insurance through the affordable care act (aca).

its so funny to see maga people being told that “obama care” they’re dumbfounded.

get this poop show rolling.

that “obama care” is aca.

This order was already blocked by a Federal judge even as the administration tries to "clarify" it. It is totally illegal and they won't get away with it. Trump has already violated his oath at least a dozen times. The question is, when will Trump start to violate court orders? Impeachment and the 25th amendment are the only ways to stop him.

The heart and soul of Project 2025 (minus the name).

Hmmm

Remember? That project that Trump claimed he didn't know anything about. The one all his followers claimed would never come to fruition.

It hasn’t

Lies made, lies kept.

No lies, libs are just angry, you’ll be fine

next up, republicans saying kids need to go work at mcdonald’s instead of getting school lunches.

Already happening in many states

trump needs to go after illegal migrants in agriculture, meat processing and construction quickly. and throw tariffs on every country right away. cancel everyone’s health insurance through the affordable care act

Give it time, that will come as well. One step at a time

its so funny to see maga people being told that “obama care” they’re dumbfounded.

It was, I have nothing to do with paying for someone else’s healthcare.

get this poop show rolling.

He is cleaning Biden’s poo up.

Around 5pm today, a Federal judge put a pause on everything related to this illegal executive order.

The President has limited ability to control spending that has already been approved by Congress and signed into a law. Many of the items he is trying to stop are for specific funds to specific programs and in funding laws already passed and signed.

Sorry Mr Trump - please go watch some more Schoolhouse Rock to learn how the US Govt actually works.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZ8psP4S6BQ explains how a bill becomes law.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHKJToDD0P0 is why the USA doesn't have a King. Confusing to the MAGA crowd, clearly.

Trump is good at bluster, but not logic. So much proof and far too many people allowing him to run wild with unconstitutional attempts.

I miss the days of a thoughtful President. You know - 3 weeks ago.

By blocking things within hours, liberals are just delaying the inevitable where we will get Supreme Court decisions in favor of things that have yet to be fully addressed by them.

don’t you think someone is super regretting questioning Presidential immunity or taking a candidate off the ballot, as examples?

I miss the days of a thoughtful President. You know - 3 weeks ago.

yeah it’s just terrible what Democrats did to him so that he couldn’t even run again.

He could have won, he said. Kamala too! (Huh?)

Impeachment and the 25th amendment are the only ways to stop him.

then you won’t be “stopping him”.

im interested in the “at least a dozen times” he has “violated his oath”.

for example? Don’t be stingy and just give me 1 when there are a dozen. What are they?

--The heart and soul of Project 2025 (minus the name).

Hmmm

Hmmmm indeed.

Have a talk with Russell Vought about that.

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/donald-trump-project-2025-previewed-federal-grant-freeze-118186265

It's project 2025 minus the nationwide abortion and pornography bans (so far).

get this poop show rolling.

He is cleaning Biden’s poo up.

Sure....like this....

"A North Carolina man who was pardoned by President Donald Trump for assaulting a police officer during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol is still facing charges of possessing child sex abuse material.

David Paul Daniel, 37, pleaded guilty this month to overwhelming a heavy wooden barricade at the Capitol and pushing it into the officers standing on the other side, according to a criminal complaint obtained by HuffPost. Shortly after the first breach, prosecutors say, Daniel led a second breach into the Senate Wing Door before escaping through a broken window. He was among 600 people charged with resisting, assaulting or impeding law enforcement — all of whom were pardoned by Trump on his first day of office."

Cleaning up Biden's mess by pardoning and releasing pervs, felons, and every other type of miscreant to pillage our communities...

Just what you'd expect from a convicted felon...

don’t you think someone is super regretting questioning Presidential immunity

Yes, sir!

All hail our supreme leader!

Foreign aid is one of the biggest sources of corruption and abuse from any western nation to the developing and third worlds.

In the case of the US so called NGOs and NPOs have used American taxpayers' funds to sterilise poor women who didn't give their real consent as they were misled and to move Haitian 'orphans' who had very real families out to the US after natural disasters. Without their families'/relatives' consent. A group of Haitian politicians kicked up about this but the mainstream media largely ignored it including those that are the mouthpiece of the so called 'progressive side of politics'. Only 2 examples, many more.

Infrastructure/other building projects line the pockets of families and individuals in the circles with influence and connections. Nobody should be surprised as this also happens in our countries with public money - contracts, often priced at abnormally high prices are given to those with connections to the party in power.

Many examples in the US from both sides of politics and in Australia ex PM Julia Gillard's school rebuilding programs gave contracts to Labor Party linked companies while local, independent businesses, sometimes family ones started from scratch, were excluded. And the pricing of this school infrastructure was abnormally high. Favors get returned.

Foreign aid is also funneled into armaments and in the case of the little dictator running the Ukraine, into a mulit million dollar home for his parents in Israel. These few examples are the tip of the iceberg.

And our Supreme Court!

"In the interim, to the extent permissible under applicable law, Federal agencies must temporarily pause all activities related to obligation or disbursement of all Federal financial assistance, and other relevant agency activities that may be implicated by the executive orders..."

So, rather than Trump's team doing their work to figure out which laws are applicable, they through out a wide ranging statement and expect a bunch of bureaucrats to figure it out.

There's a way to do these things and then there's Trumps - throw mud at the wall and see which sticks ... but threatening the wall with being fired if all the mud doesn't stick.

What a loser.

What a loser.

Who just won the election.

yep.

he did none of those things! Even the banks said he paid back all his loans! I know you missed that because the narrative had to be pushed!

The Lawyers and judges met with the Biden administration before their corrupt law-fair against Trump.

Oh, OK. I get it now. You're a far-right parody account!

On this- halt to money on these programs. 

I think the judge did the right thing. In government we have what’s called oversite and audit. 

If families who are qualified to get aid and road projects are stalled. For whatever reason. Or any other program that created for a better life fundamental improving the quality of life for Americans. Funding should continue. 

The funds need to keep flowing until a plausible solution to cut-backs is put in place. 

A third party non bias oversite group needs to be implemented. 

Made up of Democrats and Republicans. 

I am all for cutting spending, as long as progress is not affected.

make corporations pay some taxes and you’ll create revenue, most pay nothing or maybe 8% now.

don’t you wish you could only pay 8%? or get a tax credit and money back from subsidies.

and deduct every living expense. phone, rent, car, insurance, entertainment…

if corporations are in the eyes of the law a person, then people should be corporations.

The freeze followed the president's suspension of foreign aid, which began cutting off the supply of lifesaving medicines on Tuesday to countries around the world that depend on U.S. development assistance.

These countries that depend on the US for life saving medicines. Why can't they supply their own citizens with these medicines?

I am sure the drug manufacturers can take their money.

I'd like to think that among the non-cultists out there, we may soon start seeing the limits of tolerance being breached and people actually willing to take a stand. We can forget about MAGA; he could order ICE to go to their houses and take their relatives away and the MAGAts would be waiting in the front yard to hand them over. But among the rest of the populace, there has to be a breaking point at which even the most apathetic citizen says "hang on, this isn't right".

Or maybe not. Maybe, as a country, we just don't GAF anymore.

"Trump aid freeze stirs chaos before it is blocked in court."

Still dems using the courts for their dirty work? "the White House said funds for Medicaid, farmers, small businesses, rental assistance and the Head Start preschool program would continue without interruption." Jail every saboteurs more loyal to tribal sentiments than to the Nation.

Health care industry officials said the interruption could cause lasting damage. "If the federal government stops pushing funds out to state Medicaid contractors, the result would be a complete debacle, with Medicaid providers going out of business," said Sara Ratner of health care company NOMI Health.

This where Senator Warren had agreed with the Trump admin.

These types of particular issues. 

The Massachusetts senator said she is “ready to work with Musk” to make the government “more efficient” while saving the taxpayer money.

These Medicare & Medicaid contractors just feed from taxpayer’s money. 

Abusing the system and lining their pockets. These programs should be managed on the State level with complete control. 

“Here’s something President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and I agree on: the federal government throws away trillions of dollars on wasteful spending,” she wrote in the op-ed. “I have spent years trying to squeeze government waste out of our budget.”

These programs in New England and Connecticut have been on her radar some time now.

82% of the Countries in the world are currently getting aid from the US taxpayer. 82%! How is that possible? Where does the money go and why? Who is getting rich off my paycheck?

The "freeze" was based on the fact that bureaucrats (non-elected employees) are left in charge of granting aid to whomever they choose AFTER Congress approves the funding. The US is 37 TRILLION dollars in debt. The cash cow is dead. It must stop with this presidency.

Those tax cuts for billionaires and trillionaires have to come from somewhere, don’t they?

50 million for Condoms for Gaza?

Biden sent Afghanistan 15 million already for the same?

37 million for WHO, after we dropped out?

yep need a pause and review to align with our new priorities.

We can forget about MAGA; he could order ICE to go to their houses and take their relatives away and the MAGAts would be waiting in the front yard to hand them over.

MAGA doesn’t have relatives who we criminal illegal aliens living in our homes.

oh MAGAts, is that a pejorative?

…Who ARE criminal….

The cash cow is dead. It must stop with this presidency

Trump was a bit quieter on cutting the debt this time around.

Not a good sign for fiscal conservatives.

He piled on the debt last time around.

37 million for WHO, after we dropped out?

Japan still is in the WHO and Trump people working in Japan and paying tax are ok with that

MAGA doesn’t have relatives who we criminal illegal aliens living in our homes.

They are scammers like Trump and Melinia Coin . It's a legal scam though so no crime. MAGA suckers are giving money to Trump and Melinia by transferring their money to their coin

These Medicare & Medicaid contractors just feed from taxpayer’s money

Yes and same in Japan and Trump people living in Japan are fine with that

These countries that depend on the US for life saving medicines

WRONG! Lot's of medicine is also developed (and cross developed) in other areas Japan, EU, Australia, etc. Some Americans come to Japan and pay for stomach cancer treatment that is more advanced than in the for example. Remember MAGA people like the Japanese government healthcare system in Japan . Japan has some cancer survival rates higher than Japan and it's available to Trump people in Japan

Japan still is in the WHO and Trump people working in Japan and paying tax are ok with that

no, we aren’t ok with the USA sending our USA tax money to organizations we purposely are not members of any more.

Japan? can waste their tax money however they want, Japanese don’t seem to care.

These countries that depend on the US for life saving medicines. Why can't they supply their own citizens with these medicines?

To help avoid the next pandemic. Trump people think that it came from 5G cell towers though. Government healthcare is a good thing and Trump people in Japan enjoy using it.

Japan? can waste their tax money however they want, Japanese don’t seem to care.

But Trump people in Japan pay Japanese tax and that is still going to the WHO. Also, Trump people are forced to have government healthcare. Also, Trump people in Japan are forced to leave their guns back in the USA. Why would a Trump person want to be in Japan?

These Medicare & Medicaid contractors just feed from taxpayer’s money

Why do Trump people in Japan say this then if they get sick they are happy to rely on government healthcare?

You have to understand the cult mindset. The very notion that The Leader could be wrong about anything, ever, is literally impossible for a cultist to process, so they feel a compulsion to defend The Leader against every single comment which seems to criticise The Leader. 

For someone who likes to intimate that he's some kind of big shot business owner, he does seem to have a lot of free time.

I’m sorry, but what in the world are you talking about?
