This guy is out to harm millions of Americans. If not corrected and just allowed to happen we’ll end up with a recession worse than 08. This is treason to willfully do this as president
Pfft, like this is the first time Trump committed treason
This is absolutely bonkers, halts 10% of the US GDP overnight and will spark civil unrest if it goes on too long.
… will spark civil unrest …
Don’t tease me.
I can’t stand comments like this. You act like civil unrest won’t get people hurt, or maybe even killed.
Birthing pains, bro. Birthing pains.
Positive change doesn’t come without sacrifice.
If you wanna make an omelette, some people gotta die.
Easy to say that on the internet. I don’t see anybody picking up their pitch forks to stop this.
Uh… have you been living under a rock? There have been multiple assassination attempts recently, one successful.
We tried back in November, but too many people were screeching about BlUeMaGa, bOtHSiDeS and gEnoCiDe jOe
So it is what it is
Or rather, people continuously excused the rightward shift of Democrats, resulting in them thinking they dint need to be responsible to responding to their base, which they largely abandoned.
But sure, keep blaming the voters instead of those that held power and could have actually changed strategy.
We already had an answer for that, RCV and other FPTP alternatives were spreading just fine, all that had to happen was to keep Orange Face out of office last election and the Democrats would have fallen later. After Drump was in jail and MAGA imploded
But nooo, y’all fell for quite possibly a right-wing propaganda campaign and now we’re all paying for it
But we sure taught the DNC a lesson at those polls amiright!
Yeah, a lot of this is congressional mandated funding. You can’t just take that away with the swipe of a pen. If congressional doesn’t act, or many lawsuits don’t get filed to challenge this, we really are living in the beginnings of a fascist regime, and we are meekly accepting it.
The thing is, you can maybe take it to court, but the suspension itself while a court examines it might be disruptive.
It looks like there are a number of federal loans preferentially extended to a number of groups (black-owned businesses, female-owned businesses, etc) by the Small Business Administration. If Trump intended to end minority-preferential lending, say, I could see that going over well with people who voted for him, but across-the-board temporary suspension while it’s evaluated seems to me like it’d make a lot of people out there who voted for him unhappy.
Jesus… This will directly and unequivocally shrink the economy. That money? It’s paid to businesses for services. He just fucked our GDP.
And it’s going to disproportionately affect red states, because those are the states that receive the most federal grants.
Everything he’s done so far, and most of what he will do, will be bad for our economy
He makes the ferengi look generous and benevolent.
