Because nothing says American freedom like unconditional loyalty to a Jewish supremacist settler colony.
There’s no way in hell that ‘ideology’ that supports the executive branch, as a requirement for funding, will survive the courts.
- Allow me to introduce you to Unitary Executive Theory.
- Most likely not, but it is not costless to have to fight that battle for those who need FEMA support. Even if they prevail, they've been punished for not submitting to Trump's ideological demands.
- We live in a dictatorship with no rule of law.
  
  We still have SOME law. I want to see what they spin to make it legal to have FEDERAL LE pursue state senators for exercising their procedural and legal rights.
  I’m hearing ‘taking bribes’ as what they’re going to go for… but, I want to see that stated under oath and in a court that doesn’t have a stooge presiding.
Israel has cucked us so hard
- Being a professional blackmailer country makes that happen.
This is the policy of "America first"
- America first! ...after Israel.
  
  Yea they just neglected to finish the phrase. It's like "when in Rome" or "Make America Great Again... by raping children". You know the quiet part out loud thing.
States pay taxes to create federal funds.
I'm absolutely fine if blue states stop paying and just take care of their own.
Update:
Trump ‘regime’ backtracks. Removes loyalty pledge wording. https://archive.ph/ckg54

I barely know what to call this. We're beyond authoritarianism at this point, this is insane.
Nothing says being on the right side of history like forced thought does.
Good thing we avoided Kamala
- make sure you say it like kuh-MAH-la to make her sound foreign and scary smh

Genocide or die.
- 'God'
- If it's not Israel first then trump will not get his Gaza bungalow park, so everyone must be forced to work towards that ....
