Protect the fetus and starve the living. That's the Republican way

Section 4 of the 25th Amendment to the United States Constitution outlines the process for transferring presidential power to the vice president if the president is unable to fulfill their duties.

Yeah ngl I want trump over Vance. Vance is actually semi competent and would be 10x scarier

shamanwallace.bsky.social•33 days ago

He's only as strong as the boss he's trying to impress. Right now that's trump.

ajmtd.bsky.social•33 days ago

I think it’s Thiel.

What a load of shit. Trump is a singular threat. ANYONE is better. I heard this same BS about Pence, too.

Trump inspires hate and chaos. Vance doesn't inspire shit.

apollotargaryen.bsky.social•33 days ago

I don’t think singular threat is fair. There are plenty actors on the right who I would be worse than trump in charge. It’s more that trump is the singular narrative for that side

apollotargaryen.bsky.social•33 days ago

To clarify: the singular voice of trump is what the bad actors on the right hide behind for their decision making

trevize1138.bsky.social•33 days ago

He's bad actor #1. You're only normalizing and excusing him. The bit players you claim to be afraid of are nothing without him.

trevize1138.bsky.social•33 days ago

Trump has the violent cult behind him. Vance does not. You discount that massive effect at everyone's peril.

Soon maybe soon, Grocery prices will finally drop 🤔

Wishful thinking says the egg - the beginning of 4 years of chaos 🥚

Robbing the programs. The coup is in progress

Isolationism because the rest of the world is laughing at The Felon. 😕

apollotargaryen.bsky.social•34 days ago

This is so dumb. Dude wants to hold the whole country hostage till his demands are met

jamieosy.bsky.social•33 days ago

…and we are only in the second week of a four year term.

azrobini.bsky.social•33 days ago

Maybe the criminals he pardoned will soon turn on him.

pitt1.bsky.social•33 days ago

This must be met with a firm, absolute, no. This is nothing short of a declaration of war upon the American people. Bring it

bjw7.bsky.social•33 days ago

The dictatorship is in progress. Wake up people!

fugazi80.bsky.social•33 days ago

He's treating coming into office like it's a hostile takeover. This is America! And we are being bought and sold, traded on the world market..

marksix.bsky.social•33 days ago

A president can't permanently halt funds already approved by Congress. That violates the Impoundment Control Act of 1974. But things can be delayed for weeks and the money diverted. This is bad.

joebug.bsky.social•33 days ago

More $$$ for the criminals pockets

kenyattayamel.bsky.social•33 days ago

They will be funneled into his Oligarchs pockets 🤬

goldshawfarm.bsky.social•33 days ago

Trump’s approach right now reads like a corporate culture takeover strategy: sow chaos, freeze progress, and scare employees into compliance.

hollyphantpants.bsky.social•33 days ago

That usually precedes the shattered company going bankrupt, leaving the new CEO with a lot of money and a lot of employees without jobs and shareholders without money.

rod-learmonth.bsky.social•33 days ago

Could somebody (maybe @newrepublic.com) tell me how the funding is actually received by the agencies? Is the $$ held somewhere that they can no longer access? I thought grants (like for research) were paid out in chunks and not something dripped out daily or held in an 'account' somewhere.

rod-learmonth.bsky.social•33 days ago

Or do the agencies have their grants (money), but are afraid to spend it because of these illegal orders?
