...WHAT is the Democrats' plan to deal with this?SHitler will give the power to his pet rat Eloon, Really Slimy, and Margie three-names. They'll decide which agencies are funded and how much, and for what, including the SSA and Medicare.
SHitler's plan is below. He learned it last time, and this time, they'll carry it out completely with his thug Russel Voigt (author of Project 2025) over OMB to carry it out.

(18,736 posts)They will certainly attempt something like this, but Im not convinced it will be successful.
Congress, especially senators, dont take kindly to being made irrelevant.
There is tough talk, and there is reality.
We shall see.

(14,443 posts)I don't think even the SCOTUS would go along with Been A Dick's attempt to usurp Congress's power of the purse.

(10,426 posts)....not beholden to any precedent as we know, and would overturn anything to do what SHitler wants. I trust them with absolutely NOTHING.
The US will be ruled by a tyrant king once again and his personal billionaire robber baron crime syndicate. We can hope the "rule of law" and courts will save us, but they have failed MISERABLY to stop his rise to power and instead enabled it. The billionaire robber barons and the MAGA crime syndicate unfortunately control them, too.

FEMA? Yea, that's gone.
NOAA? Gone, defunded.
PBS? Gone. Defunded.
Predatory lending. Everywhere.

(19,143 posts)Starting out with folk heroes like John Dillinger, Bonnie and Clyde, Ma Barker, Pretty Boy Floyd etc of the Depression era when Banks were stiffing people. He went on to say that tRump is going to face stiff challenges from the American people regarding the Economy and important departments in the coming months and how under Republican Presidents since Reagan, the US has had poor economies and Recessions. While under Democratic Party Presidents, the US have thrived.
Why? Because Clinton, Obama, and Biden raised taxes on the very rich who could afford to pay more in taxes and the economy boomed. The rest is History.
