When Trump Tried to Freeze Federal Funds, WaPo Saw Not Illegality But ‘Determination’
When Trump usurped Congress's power of the purse, the Beltway paper declared this "highlights" the administration's "determination."
Tried with EO, now that musk control payment system can't he just now freeze payments for current federal employees and force them to quit?
Not legally, but it seems that he has the ability to stop payments from a techical perspective. The government has put employees on furlough before, but never during a time when money was appropriated by Congress. I would predict that it will cost much more in the longer run to simply shut down payments illegally than to go through Congress. I fear that Congress is on board with removing appropriated funds for no other reason than tribal loyalty to the leader of the cult of personality.
I thought "democracy die(d) in darkness"? Guess they never specified who's turning off the lights ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Bezos has stolen all the lightbulbs in order to slightly increase shareholder value.
But but but the liberals are our friends!
Since when was Bezos liberal?
In the actual (global) sense? When not?
In the American sense? Ask the Democrats.
