Das Weiße Haus gibt zu, dass es Zuschüsse an blaue Staaten gestrichen hat, weil diese nicht für Trump gestimmt haben

I can’t wait for Democrats to cut off red states.

Wait who am I kidding?

what would be the equivalent thing for a democratic president?

maybe put a checkpoint on the road to the trump library or any trump properties

People don’t realize how dangerous evil Russ Vought is for the country.

Reminder that the Secretary of Energy stood in front of Congress last month and testified that „no decisions were made on politics“ regarding the grant cancellations. Now his department tells a judge that yep they did just that.

>I seriously doubt even the most creative Republican communications professionals could put a positive spin on developments like these.

They will point out how Biden politely asked social media companies to take down pictures of Hunter’s dick!

>White House that admits it withholds federal resources from states based on local voters casting ballots in ways the president doesn’t like. Not to put too fine a point on this, but that sounds an awful lot like an impeachable offense.

There is nothing that Trump can do that is impeachable for his party.

Damn, so no southern states would survive if democrats did this

At a minimum the states affected should be lining up to file suit seeking restitution and punitive damages. This alone is grounds for impeachment and removal from office. And we all know this is barely the tip of the iceberg of criminal wrongdoing by this orange Clown fuck.

There’s nothing more maddening than bad faith people living their best life because they know that the decent people wont do anything about it.

If I use traffic laws in a crowded city street as an analogy, when the assholes don’t follow laws, it starts looking like your average third World country and people can get run over and get killed in a heartbeat.

Both can be fixed by vigorously enforcing the law no matter how much money or privilege you have.

Treating the blue states like garbage. Damn these evil creeps.  I despise this current administration.  

This is an excellent justification for impeachment, possibly the best justification. It would bring this Administration’s illegality into the spotlight while also forcing Republicans to make a decision: Either impeach/convict for these obviously partisan actions, or indirectly approve a Democratic Administration in performing the same stunts

Trump is evil.

“
DOE accepts that the inclusion of grants in the October notice tranche was based solely
on the political identity of the grant recipient’s state, i.e., whether the recipient’s location
and/or place of performance was in a Blue State or a non-Blue State. DOE will not
contend that it looked beyond the prime grantee(s) to consider the political identity or
geographic distribution of downstream beneficiaries of the grant funds.“

Awesome….

California gives money to red states. I think that should stop.

It’s pretty on point that despite the millions of shitty Trump voters in those blue states, the admin doesn’t give a shit and will go out of their way to punish everyone inside those imaginary lines drawn on the map to prove I’m not even sure what point?!?

Blue states should refuse to pay federal taxes then

At what point do all of the sane states band together and say, you’re not our boss. 

A president for some is a president for none.

This whole by itself should be impeachable.

So many people need to go to jail. There is so much corruption in this administration.

Reason #12232 why I will never forgive any trump voter. I had each one of them responsible for this mess, IDGAF if they voted for ONE thing out of his agenda, you don’t get to pick and choose like a Golden Corral.

In a normal time that would result in impeachment.

Should be a much, much bigger story. Obama, Biden, and Clinton went out of their way to people even if they hated the Democrats‘ guts. Even George Bush’s dumb ass at least seemed to genuinely care about the American people (or he at least was wise enough to pretend to do so).

This is blatantly unconstitutional and flat out morally reprehensible. Don’t ever want to hear from any supposed „moderates“ how „both sides are the same.“ Of course, this is why the story is going to be buried by the likes of CNN and the mainstream broadcast networks.

„Denying resources and service to communities because of politics“ – that is a feature not a bug.

Entirely intentional.

The founders of our country created a President with limited and checked powers. they specifically put the power of spending and taxation in the hands of the Congress, because they had seen how Kings and Despots used spending and taxes to control their subjects.

British kings used spending to reward loyalty and taxation to punish dissent. Our revolution was spurred by the King’s use of heavy taxation of the Colonies to punish our push for self-governance. The King’s message was clear: stop protesting and I will stop taxing.

Trump is leveraging U.S. spending like a protection racket.

‚Nice program you have there – would be a shame if something were to happen to it.‘ Like having all your funding cut.

Healthy democracies rely on independent media to keep the public informed, an independent legal profession to maintain the rule of law, independent universities to guard objective truth and provide forums for dissent to authority, and independent State and Local governments to counterbalance a powerful Federal government.

Trump’s regime is attacking all of these pillars of democracy.

Trump did not invent these strategies. They are the playbook for destroying democracy. This is how a democracy becomes a dictatorship.
