Not at all. You just make it so easy to mock you. You're the Carlos Mencia of this place.
Trump planning to take power away from Congress...
- Thread starter Tom Paris
- Start date
You seem to have an unhealthy obsession with certain posters here, me being one of them. About 99% of your posts are filled with hate, anger, and vitriol which can only mean you aren't happy with yourself and probably your life in general. Your inability to take a joke or just have a normal back and forth is just more evidence of this.
So again are you okay? Is there anything going on at home that you want to talk about? Are you not satisfying your partner in the bedroom? How's your relationship with your father?
NOT Authoritarian at all, right? You checks and balances guys...you good with this or are we still burying our heads in the sand?
"His plan, known as “impoundment,” threatens to provoke a major clash over the limits of the president’s control over the budget. The Constitution gives Congress the sole authority to appropriate the federal budget, while the role of the executive branch is to dole out the money effectively. But Trump and his advisers are asserting that a president can unilaterally ignore Congress’ spending decisions and “impound” funds if he opposes them or deems them wasteful."
How Trump Plans to Seize the Power of the Purse From Congress
The second-term president likely will seek to cut off spending that lawmakers have already appropriated, setting off a constitutional struggle within the branches. If successful, he could wield the power to punish perceived foes.www.propublica.org
That sounds like a great idea. It’s sad that the D’s continue to spend money we don’t have.
Hahahahahaha. Holy shit, you’re nuts.
DEMOCRACY IS DEAD. That’s what nonsense you’ve been spewing. Democracy is dead. Again, are you more gullible or stupid to think Trump is going to single handedly destroy our Constitutional form of government. The Truitt’s that you want it to happen so bad. You can’t even wait until it happens (which it never will) to claim some sort of half assed victory on something you’ve clearly already moved the goalposts on.
You can @ me when Democracy is dead and then I’ll apologize all over myself. Until then, keep my name out of your mouth and cry to all the other dopes you keep getting likes from.
Didn't this happen in Wisconsin when Evers became governor?
What’s funny is people like you won’t have the means to survive his presidency unscathed. Book it.Poor Tom - Nobody cares for his party of sadness outrage.
It is difficult to state with certainty how frequently the Executive Branch has used impoundment. In perhaps the earliest example, President Thomas Jefferson delayed spending funds appropriated in 1803 for the purchase of gun boats, a response to international tensions concerning the port of New Orleans. After Congress made the funds available, the President negotiated the Louisiana Purchase, rendering the immediate use of the gun-boat appropriation unnecessary. Presidents in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries similarly signaled a willingness to delay or withhold spending appropriated funds.
Impoundments usually proceeded on the view that an appropriation sets a ceiling on spending for a particular purpose but typically did not mandate that all such sums be spent. According to this view, if that purpose could be accomplished by spending less than the appropriation’s total amount, there would be no impediment in law to realizing savings.
Legislature of Florida has appropriated over $617,000 dollars for me to provide internet connections for 30 sites.
I can buy MFN2 45Mbps up/down connections for a mere $1,715 per month, for each site.
But I can also purchase a $500 Aruba Remote Access Point for each site that will create a hardware VPN back to the internet facing Aruba controller providing access into our network. I can connect the Aruba RAP to a contracted provider's premise internet connection, or spend $36/mo for a 5G wifi device with an ethernet port to plug the RAP into.
Are you gonna be big mad if I don't spend all the money, but still connect all my sites?
This is what you guys do. Make insane claims like “democracy is dead” or “the next Great Depression” or “they’re horse whipping immigrants”. Then when it never happens and you’re proven to be idiot chicken littles every goddamned time….you pretend you never said it and move on to the next thing that’s gonna end the world if a Republican is elected. You’re only 0-386 as of now. So forgive me if I wait to freak out.
Not even inaugurated yet, but the crocodile tears have not failed to impress!! 😂😂💕💕🎅🎂NOT Authoritarian at all, right? You checks and balances guys...you good with this or are we still burying our heads in the sand?

But you will? Must be planning on going home will that ILLEGAL trash you’re so fond of!!
We’ve been over this. My resources >>>> your resources.
At what point would you be willing to exercise your 2nd amendment right to overthrow Trump’s (assumed) authoritarian government?NOT Authoritarian at all, right? You checks and balances guys...you good with this or are we still burying our heads in the sand?

You know the dude is a kickball coach, right? 😆❄️
So you’re going to just be a keyboard warrior? Or, its not that big of a problem worth fighting for?
So, just to be clear, you want to wait for him to successfully cut Congress out of the spending process before we should talk about it? These aren't random things left wingers are making up. These are things Trump himself or his administration has said. I guess it's better to wish you had done something when you had the chance than to try and prevent it from happening in the first place for you then.
My contention has always been with the “Democracy is dead” nonsense. That’s why I brought up TP moving the goalposts here. What Trump is saying and wanting to do here is insane. But not sure why I owe an idiot on a message board an apology for that. Especially considering I never voted for him and hate the man.
If Biden did this Rs would impeach him immediately.
Your butthurt is so evident. The only thing most of us wouldn't have survived is 4 more years of Biden with Harris at the wheel.
According to Google “Marshall Law” is the hunky lead actor in many of the gay pornos MAGAts watch.
If kickball coach is so worried, how far is he willing to go to fight for what he thinks is right?
A Dem voted with Dems?
Oh, the humanity!
That would only make her left - not even radical left - if the Dems actually supported lefty policies. I challenge you to name some significant lefty bills passed by the Dems.
If your quick response is the Inflation Reduction Act, you get a bonus point. But remember, that's when she was VP, not in the Senate. And, more to the point, remember that the IRA included a few good ideas from Bernie, and he actually is a lefty. But it also gutted most of Bernie's ideas, so most of what remained was more pro-business and centrist.
Oh, we have it. If by "we" you mean American people and businesses. We, meaning especially the rich and businesses just don't want to give it up.
Meanwhile, Republicans refuse to raise the revenues needed to pay the bills.
Remember: The rich pay more taxes, so taxes are bad. Borrowing is better than raising taxes for the rich. That's why the GOP is the spend and borrow party.
I've never understood why "spend and tax" is bad but "spend and borrow" isn't even discussed.
Politically? She's Hillary Clinton with a tan
Thank you! I’ve been saying this every time Chis and Tom P can’t understand how people voted for their GOP candidate over a Dem empty suit airhead. Not hard to figure out it’s a team game for 85% of the populace and bureaucracy.
In regards to the thread title.
The legislative branch has acceded more and more power to the executive branch since Teddy Roosevelt
They’ve willingly abrogated their responsibilities and power to the executive branch.
Just my 2 bits.
Interesting article on the subject
Older article but if anything executive power has grown
Here’s one from the Trump first term

I think he should declare Martial Law on day 1. Arrest thousands of Democrats from Biden’s criminal administration and have military tribunals.
