to clarify my statement: in my opinion, the wheels of justice are turning too slowly for a president that wakes up, waves a wand, and gets what he wants. his actions have real consequences for real Americans.
just last week, 10 billion dollars for child care was halted for states that are not republican. the effects malnourished children have every day they go hungry may last a lifetime.... and im just supposed to wait for the litigation you posted to get things sorted out? unacceptable.
I have no doubt the law is accurately tracking and will get things done, but the wait doesnt work for people that depend on social services
Well, yes. I agree on that. But it's what we have. And it's exactly why they move fast and break things.
They're hoping to demoralize the American public to get further power.
I agree it is what we have as well, but there has got to be a better faster way to clean this mess up that isn't violent.
demoralization is working too, and its the only thing I have 100% control of, but I just cant give in.
im sure everyone's social circle thats reading this has at least one person they know who only works to divide minds instead of unite them, and its absolutely draining.
OK im off my soapbox for awhile, thanks for the conversation... I feel better lol
You're proving the point that the courts work: just after DHHS blocked TANF funds to five Democratic states, a judge blocked it with a TRO:

Outside SCOTUS the courts are holding, and moving quickly where warranted. You could easily have linked this information yourself, but chose not to. Stop spreading misinformation.
?
I didnt choose not to post a link, do not make invalid assumptions when you know nothing about me.
It's not an invalid assumption, it's fact that you included only doomer, outdated news in order to support your wrong conclusion either a) without bothering to check to see if your information was correct, or b) you knew but decided not to mention it.
If you don't like false accusations then don't make them. I know that I have zero respect for that approach to posting, and between that and the lazy doomering that's enough of you for me to know. Blocked, bye.
