Trump administration must pay debts to USAID partners by Monday, judge rules
A federal judge ordered the administration to pay what is owed to at least nine aid groups that sued after Trump paused all U.S. foreign assistance.
Dont worry it will totally happen and we won't need a functioning executive branch to enforce the judges ruling on the executive branch.
Yup. This is the current line in the sand. We've crossed several already, to be clear, but the important one right now is this particular showdown between the Executive and Judicial branches of government. Congress is working on getting their shit together, but overall the Legislative branch has not been effective lately at holding up its responsibility as a check on Executive or Judicial powers. The Judicial side has been checkered, at best. And the Executive side is led by a reflexive fascist.
We really need the whole "checks & balances" thing to work if we are going to try and convince the rest of the world we are still a functioning democracy. I'm losing confidence that the problems of our nation will be resolved diplomatically, and I'm equally worried that we're not ready to meet this moment in time to avert some very troubling times in the U.S. of A.
Trumps don't pay debts though.
Trump (administration) must pay debts
I'll take "when pigs fly" for 200, Alex!
Ha! I literally laughed!
Whats the over/under on how long til bye bye constitution? I noticed that he was declaring a lot of emergencies during his tirade. Just throwing spaghetti at the wall til something sticks, and then martial law. Not sure they'll go Sadam Hussein style and just read a bunch of names or what. I feel it coming tho.
Time to see what happens when he doesn't.
He didn't say which Monday!
I’ll gladly pay you Monday for a cheeseburger today.
