Hawkeye21 2,399 Posted January 28 The pause does not apply to Social Security and Medicare payments or “financial assistance provided directly to individuals,” and OMB could grant other exceptions on a “case-by-case basis.” Agencies must examine which programs conflict with Trump’s executive orders to halt government spending that falls under “financial assistance for foreign aid, nongovernmental organizations, DEI, woke gender ideology, and the green new deal,” according to the memo.

The Real timschochet 6,765 Posted January 28 A lot of the confusion is because of the language: for instance “green new deal”. There is no green new deal, there was one proposed years ago but it never passed. So what does this even mean? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It may be the strong medicine needed to heal the country. There is a lot of scamming the government going on, a lot of waste. Good for him for trying to stop the leaky damn. He's not trying to clean up waste. He just fired a bunch of people whose job it is to find waste. He's enriching himself and his friends and screwing over people he doesn't like. That's it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All of this spending being eliminated is a great thing. To liberals, it does not matter if 99% of the money earmarked for a specific thing is wasted, so long as 1% makes it through to its destination, it's all good.

MLCKAA 574 Posted January 29 Pro-freeze, anti-freeze…arguments and questions on both sides. What catches my attention is the reaction that goes kinda like this “Um, OMG, so we’re an org that gets this funding and now, due to the freeze, we don’t know if we’re gonna operate tomorrow.” As if they don’t have an annual budget and they just receive an EFT every day for their operating capital? If you’re an organization that will fold with 1 day of uncertainty about your future funding, then you might be telling me that you belong on the hitlist.

Clearly, liberals don't think one way and with one brain. Just like Republicans, there is diversity in thought. All the moderates have left their party. It looks to me like the Dems have got their insider corporate overlord faction that runs things. Sometimes they battling it with and sometimes making concessions to their woke idiot Antifa/terrorist faction. These two sides are further buttressed by homeless neocon never-Trumpers standing in the cold outside with a tin cup in their hand. Whatever they have, it's for them to figure out. They are left to scream and cry and lie and try to obstruct as much as they can, hoping the slim majorities will alienate a few REpublicans now and again to toss them a bone and thwart the president's agenda.

Rusty is trying to convince us the side that is winning is the one having a mental breakdown, not the side that is crushed and screaming and irrelevant. Let me self-diagnose because he is right, I did notice on Monday something very off with my mental state. This was not a typical Monday. I was beaming, happy, had an extra pep in my step. I couldn't wait to talk to my colleagues of all the wonderful things that had happened over the weekend. Mondays have no business being so cheery and wonderful, but this past one was. Since then, I'm just all sunny and happy all the time. Each day I come home and check the news to find that everything in the world is getting better and better. Wow, another royal flush. I've been dealt a royal flush eight straight days. Amazing. Will I be disappointed if I only get a Full House or four of a kind tomorrow? Life is supposed to be a roller coaster of ups and downs but I've never been this high before nor for this long. Apparently the name of this condition I have is LDS in bold, all caps, size 72 with a emoji. I don't even know what LDS stands for besides one thing but ... no, I didn't join the Mormon church...
