    The American Bar Association (ABA) issued a statement Tuesday citing concerns with the Trump administration’s comments condemning court orders that blocked some of the president’s executive actions.

    “These bold assertions, designed to intimidate judges by threatening removal if they do not rule the government’s way, cross the line. They create a risk to the physical security of judges and have no place in our society,” the ABA wrote.

    “There have also been suggestions that the executive branch should consider disobeying court orders. These statements threaten the very foundation of our constitutional system.”

     

    At some point you have to entertain the possibility that you’re not 100% correct on your perspective 

    Well, the partisan past of the judges are what they are

    Expect domestic beer prices to increase, not to mention building materials. This will certainly help inflation. 

    buy bottles

    Looking forward to the $6,000 extra per car average ands layoffs in the auto industry.  And it turns out the Kansas farmers were the stickers and losers. We'll see who trump screws next? 

    domestic production should go up

    Is Musk going to propose that we spend the money on digitizing every single one of these records? 

     

    I mean that's fine, but it ain't going to be cheap. 

    At 10,000 documents a day, his kid will be dead before we can accomplish that. Maybe you send the scanner down the shaft...LOL

     

    Prospective digitization should start immediately.

    So it's alleged fraud/corruption then.  I wish they'd just quit playing politics, because there's no election for 2 more years.  The last thing this country needs is endless campaigning.  You found waste?  Fine fix it.  You found corruption?  Nail em.  You identify fraud?  Keep quiet and build cases.  Save the political theater until summer 2026.  

    I guess it's alleged by the OMB then too? OMB works for Congress. Why hasn't Congress pursued OMBs findings?

    Fraud is criminal, so if he found all this fraud, where are the criminal cases?  I hope he does find it, but claiming to have found it, without proof, is political theater.  So far most of what I've seen has been spending on things the trump administration doesn't like, but were appropriated through budgets.  Republican budgets mind you.  I wish they'd save the fraud/corruption accusations for when they can present their case to the people.  

    It's only been 3 wks for the shyt Musk is finding. But you ask a good question. Why hasn't our government pursued all of this fraud?

    Much like Trump, President Richard Nixon didn’t want to spend money on certain social and environmental programs that Congress had approved, so he just refused to spend it.

    “He was sued over that. He lost all the cases that were decided on the merits, including 9-0 in the Supreme Court,” Super said. “But Congress decided to pass a law giving him a legitimate path to propose impounding, or not spending, money.”

    That law — the Impoundment Control Act — says that if the president doesn’t want to spend money on, say, food stamps, upgrading infrastructure or foreign aid for whatever reason, he must go back to Congress and ask them to reconsider.

    So far, Trump hasn’t done that.

    Much like Trump? I'm not sure we know this yet, do we?

    Of course not. If Elon executed his plan as a systemic and careful review of spending, followed by a public report and recommendation to Congress, I’d really have no issue with it.

     

     

    His methods are unconstitutional, insipid nonsense designed to generate outrage. Why do you think Charlie Kirk and the like were foaming at the mouth watching the USAID signage come down?

    Again, Musk isn't shutting anything down. He's identifying suspicious payments and Trump is making the decisions

    What fraud? “Stuff I don’t like” is not fraud. 

    all it is currently is suspected fraud. 56 million in medicaid and medicare disbursements to the same ssn? Does that look suspicious to you? do you think we should pursue this or not? why are you willing to piss on this?

    DOGE is “identifying” what it deems to be “fraud” and bloat, then Donny decides to kill the programs. This is unconstitutional, which is why many judges have already halted the orders. 

    well, you said DOGE was cutting shyt and that couldn't be further from the truth. They are finding fraud and misuse of your taxes. It appears your anger should be directed at Trump. He's the guy doing all the shyt you don't like.

    I think we should know who is making all these massive (unconstitutional) cuts to our bureaucracy. But then I’m not a gigantic hypocrite so.

    What is DOGE cutting? Do you understand what DOGE is doing? It doesn't sound like you do!

    This has absolutely nothing to do with the journalist threatened for releasing the names of the DOGE employees. 
     

    You can’t scream about transparency and then also scream when we find out exactly who Elon’s cronies are. 

    Trillions in your tax dollars vs a stupid comment from a stupid youngster? Yeah, I think I actually can.

    So why are fundamentalists ngo’s not targeted. I read the article. It was about attacks on “liberal” religions that support migrants. You know, like Jesus said to do. 

    One needs to assume the liberal USAID funded a fundamentalist NGO
