This is deeply troubling here. They want her punished just because she did the right thing with the Jan 6 investigation. They are going to be Germany in the 1930's if this keeps up.

How does the dept of Labor help anyone? The NWS can be funded with a 10% cut on its own

No way. If they do that they may as well cut them out. Give them a 10-15% increase while cutting off funding Ukraine. The Russians are going to win there, unless we join in with troops on the ground. Everything we send there is wasted.

We may be going to find out if he got treated unfairly or not after Trump nominated him for Attorney General.

And there you are. Im fine with cutting off Ukraine and cutting the military budget by 10% but as long as some programs are off limits, they will all be off limits.

This is certainly not needed either. Congress taking care of itself. If anything CUT their pay by 50%.

There's the problem. Having to pay a fortune to get something we get for free now, like access to this board for example. The NWS needs to be left alone. It is one of the few things the Govt does well.

You don’t get it for free. There’s the problem

It has not become worthless yet. Cuts need to be made, but not to the things that help people and that work like the NWS. Just fix defense for one thing. Do not cut troops in the field but fix the problems inside the Pentagon itself.

We agree there.

Same caliber as saying replace the fire department with private forces. It's public safety and should not be touched and should always be funded by taxpayers. It's a fair system that works in the interest of our entire nation.

I’m fine doing away with it altogether

Wrong. He BARELY won the popular vote and may be going to lose the House until new members can get elected. A speaker Jefferies will not give Trump any of the stupid stuff he wants.

Gonna have to stop you there. Winning the popular vote by a republican hadn't happened since 2004. Most of the Harris votes came from highly populated democrat strongholds. It was a landslide victory for Trump, as in terms of spatial area, it was overwhelmingly red.

Of course, the Democrats are trying to introduce bills to eliminate the Electoral College again ... The founding fathers were smart to have this balance in check so highly dense population centers that cover 10% or less of the US can't dictate what the rest of the 90% want or voted for.

Hopefully this does not take off, but if it does, we may have a 2020 repeat.

Gavin Newsom in California already declared a State of Emergency in California for the H5N1 strain. Already power tripping to government overreach again.

She didn't do the right thing. She tampered with evidence to fit their narrative.

Spending bill is dead apparently after Trump and Musk opposition. Musk said anyone GOP voting yes will be funded and primaried.

Musk needs to get OUT of Govt right now before the entire US collapses.

So much for any federal help in NC. Stein will not help the area either. You get what you asked far. Hopefully you know how to help yourselves because Trump and Musk are not going to.

Looks like Alex Jones and his friends are going to have their way. RIP USA.

You will not like Martial Law when it comes next year. Trust me, if Medicare, Medicaid, and SS are cut too much a lot of people will be in the streets marching. It'll make the 2020 Goerge Floyd protests look like child's play.
