How much is your local "Trump at the Pump Tax?"

Well he hadn’t decided to become the ‘arsonist in Chief’ and follow the British example.

In the past, Congress would authorize and the executive implement. Not a mad King run amuck.

I am getting less amused at the maga bias. he isn’t done with the WH, he is going to redo the other wing too. After that I expect him to state the main house is not safe, as the wrecking crews are tearing it down on his orders, in the background. That’s what he did to the East Wing, tore it down before anyone could raise a finger. When they did raise a finger, it was too late.

 

I somehow can't stop wondering whether "don't worry, I've bribesourced all the funding" is as comforting as it's made out to be.

 

I guess we should just keep using tents for large state dinners and leave the hole in the ground.
THAT sounds better.

 

Maybe my memory's not what it once was, but I could almost swear I remember a time when it wasn't a hole in the ground.

 

"war we just lost".....

 

Maga cult flying on auto for it on everything. They even wear hats saying he’s right about everything. Makes it easy not to think. Gas up $2/ gal, “I gladly pay.”

 

Those "funds" SHOULD be held in escrow; since the damage has already been done. Guess who'll be holding that steaming bag then - US; USA tax payers. You don't want those funds to evaporate. He'll claim those same monies will be used to build the arch or rebuild the east wing when he knocks that down. Congress needs to do their job and stop advocating power to him. His sycophants has already been promised presidential pardons to back his play. Why would anyone need that; if they are a law abiding citizen or congress-person? They KNOW they are doing illegal sh*t; that would get any of us thrown in jail for.

Since negotiations are going so GREAT; tired of WINNING - Why don't we ask for say; 25% of the revenue generated on the tolls to pass through the strait. If it wasn't for us (USA); that revenue source wouldn't be available to them.. This would at least pay for some of those bombs and interceptors that was used in that "security action"; since ONLY congress can declare war.

I should write jokes for Kimmel..... I'd love to collect a paycheck for jokes that write themselves.

 

still $3.70 at the station we pass on the way to church every Sunday

 

$0.50 less than we pay normally. It's currently ~$1.60 - $1.80 over normal here.

Ah, must be nice to live where you can get 1) gas barely affected by Trump pump rump-dump shens, 2) Prime 2-day delivery taken for granted, and 3) roadtrips whenever you have spare time

Still, wouldn't trade this for scraping ice off windscreen / Prius mpg in the H-40s / CA Zoomer transplants on ASRs sliding into me because 'no one told me I had to buy special tires tire for the snow'

 

Let Congress pass a bill for that property.

It’s easier to list the laws he hasn’t violated. Is there any doubt he does not protect federal property, just for one of these?

“The law prohibiting private funds for federal property primarily involves constitutional and statutory limits on the use of federal funds. Key points include:

• Spending Clause: Federal funds must be spent as appropriated by Congress, and private funding is constrained by clear congressional authorization.
  1
• Appropriations Clause: Federal money should not be accepted or used without statutory authority, as outlined in Supreme Court precedent.
  1
• Government Property Regulations: Employees have a duty to protect and conserve government property, and misuse can lead to criminal penalties.
  2
• Civil Penalties: Violations of federal property laws can result in civil penalties, emphasizing the importance of adhering to regulations.
  1
  
  These principles ensure that federal property is used responsibly and that private funding does not undermine the integrity of federal operations.
