There is quite a bit to parse through. Please share in the comments any relevant gems you may find. I'm sure more may jump out as time has passed and new revelations have been discovered.

Agreed

Even with federal law, the main thing that can be done is citting federal funding to bring states into line.

States have incredible power of autonomy, including and up to defying federal law (when done properly).

The Dems long ago figured out if you could deprive states of funding and make them go to the fed for money, they would be able to make states bend the knee and give in to federal shenanigans by threatening to cut funding.

Shoot, I'd take 0.1%. $217,000.00 is still a chunk of change.

Centralized power is dangerous, even with good intention. Elections should NEVER be controlled by the fed period.

Having said that, yes, most states are beholden to the fed for funding, so that should be enough for most of them to bring them in line. Outliers will be the ones that have blatant fraud and cheating, so he can go the rout of pushing to replace the governor with a patriot.

THIS IS THE WAY TO DO IT.

Accurate, and important to know.

Also important to know these judges are about to face a deluge of cases brought by ex federal employees. This is very important and is still a big deal.

What's amazing is how America can stop bird flu at the border, but Mexico can't stop illegals from the other direction.

If you don't like, block and move on.

Unlikely.

Most likely the money ran out.

...a lawyer shocked and disgusted by anything?

That's 99.99999% less likely than an abortion doctor giving up the practice, which I've heard of happening 3x ever.

Maybe not USAID funds, but similar: the money ran out, OR cannot keep his own name from being revealed.

Murkowski has been an embarrasment to her state for a very long time. They are fed up with her, but like California, there is a lot of cheating going on up there.

This exactly.

Someone was lamenting the opposite of this would happen to all the good employees. Glad to see the good ones are being saved.

I fully support this.

Yup, see that now. Kinda depressing IMO. Agreed it would be infinitely better just to axe IRS.

Grrrrrrrr.

Yeah, especially as there seems to be no strings attached, why would you want your tax money back? (/s)

.

Pretty sure the IRS going away is still on the table. Realistically though, never thought it would go away this tax season.

Trump would be prescribed a madman if he axed it now without first demonstrating beyond a shadow of a doubt it truly isn't needed for a balanced fed. budget, or to kill the deficit. I'm willing to wait one more year to have it completely gone (you have to show them).

Edit: If it does by some miracle go away this tax season, I'll happily eat crow.

Yet if you confront any of them or question the integrity (not even them personally) they act like it was the most heinous thing ever said in history.

The whole integrity of the post office thing is bunk. Yes there are good people. But you try and tell me these days there is much left? Forget it.

I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God’s throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books.

That stinks, sorry to here that. Our state has the opposite problem. Our state is doing great for 2A, it is neighboring blue states trying to throw us under the bus with the feds, falsely claiming our state contributes to their states gun problems, so they constantly try to drag the ATF and FBI into everything.

Exactly. "Oh noooo, we lost $32.57 in business......."

Ok, that one was good. Well done.

That is idiotic and roads have nothing to do with it. The point is no state is going to be intermixed with another state to the effect that you have one state entirely surrounding portions of another.

Granted, but this President's actions are unprecidented, IMO I think you may be surprised. A merit based system will go a ways to alleviate this issue.

Not to mention income tax is unconstitutional. Never should have been put in place.
