Well, at least you acknowledge your reckless regard for the truth. What you and others like you prefer is something called "Truthiness". "Truthiness is the belief or assertion that a particular statement is true based on the intuition or perceptions of some individual or individuals, without regard to evidence, logic, intellectual examination, or facts.[1][2] Truthiness can range from ignorant assertions of falsehoods to deliberate duplicity or propaganda intended to sway opinions.[3][4]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truthiness

Not just laws. But the Constitution. The President gets his or her once chance to deal with a law that they don't like but vetoing it. (Technically speaking it's a bill, not a law). But once that's done, the Executive branch is supposed to put into effect laws passed by Congress. If it's a funding bill, that means spending the money as the law prescribes. Now Congress has legistlatively given Presidents a means not to spend that money. It's called rescission. But it requires the approval of Congress.

More proof that reading seems to be an art lost by Trump supporters.

Now I see what you are referring to. So the question is why is what Musk up to part of a coup d'etat. I would call it rather what it is characterized in another topic as an autogolpe. Someone gains power legitimately but then takes it upon themselves to trample on the laws in such a way as to benefit themselves and endanger the rule of law and democracy.. Someone like Viktor Orban in Hungary. Or Vladimir Putin in Russia. That seems to be the model that Trump is pursuing. Actually J.D. Vance's former boss, and the guy who put up the big buck to get him elected to the Senate, espouses that. That would be Peter Thiel.

Actual, the typical tactic on display here is to claim that evidence that demonstrates an assertion is a lie is the same as simply calling it a lie. But, in fact, it's you and others like you who call simply engage in name calling without marshalling evidence. Just another case of right wing irony.

You think the rant you just indulged in here isn't a form of whining? And devoid of any content about actual issues.

Why are you asking a question of something that wasn't asserted?

The Constitution gives the President the power to veto laws. That is his one constitutionally permitted action to stop a law from taking effect. But once those laws are passed then he is obliged to faithfully uphold them. That's why it's called the Executive branch. It's supposed to carry out the laws.

Like violate the Constitution?

Says the party who consistently makes allegations about other members' personal life rather than address the issues raised by the topic.

Instead of addressing the information in an article about Musk's lies, you engage in irrelevant comments. That would be called deflecting and dodging. You might want to look up a psychological phenomenon called projection. Once again, thanks for the irony.

Had you read the article, you would see, for example, that my reply to the Appletons accurately reflects what was in the article. But you can post like you do, precisely because you don't read past the headlines. Thanks for providing yet another right wing source of irony.

Do you think that focusing on me instead of on the information provided proves anything except that you are impervious to evidence you find disagreeable?

If you believe that the man making fraudulent claims is exposing fraud, then you are a sucker.

It's not a matter of having it my way. He made and passed along also claims that were false. It's not about exaggerating numbers, it's about qualitative falsehoods.

No, Musk isn't just exaggerating some things. He's lying and promoting lies.

If you believe that the fraudulent claims made by that man who claims to be exposing the fraud, then you are a sucker:. https://archive.ph/InvFn https://www.forbes.com/sites/conormurray/2025/02/10/elon-musk-pushes-false-claim-ex-usaid-chief-earned-23-million-the-biggest-doge-hoaxes-spread-on-x/

Billionaire government efficiency chief Elon Musk has repeatedly spread baseless or false claims about the gutted U.S. Agency for International Development on X, including an unsupported claim the agency was a form of “money laundering” and that it paid celebrities millions to visit Ukraine. Many false and misleading claims about USAID spending practices have spread quickly on X, propped up by billionaires including Musk and Bill Ackman. https://archive.ph/InvFn https://www.forbes.com/sites/conormurray/2025/02/10/elon-musk-pushes-false-claim-ex-usaid-chief-earned-23-million-the-biggest-doge-hoaxes-spread-on-x/

Another rightwing mindreading act. You've got nothing.

Another apparently inexhaustible source of irony.

I'm going to devotemy time to reading a decision based on your assertion that it supports your case? Why should I trust you? If you have evidence from that decision to offer, offer it.

If you have evidence that what I've said is false point to it. I've provided a link to the evidence. If you can't be bothered to read what is linked to, there is nothing I can do about your willful ignorance. Stay ignorant for all I care. And the charge of lying is particularly entertaining coming from you. Remember your claim that 4 children in the elementary school you were attending died from measles vaccines in 1952? Even though there were no measles vaccines on offer until about a decade later? You truly are a lowlife.

I wonder what garbage dump of a website you got that piece of case law from. Myers is about the right of the President to remove appointed officials. That is not the issue in the USAID case. Clearly, you don't have a clue what constitutes relevant case law.

I can't help you and your apparently limited level of literacy any further. If you can't be bothered to read the article i linked to, there's nothing more I plan to do. Of course, if you are willing to pay me for reading lessons, we may come to some sort of agreement.

Actually, the Biden administration didn't take money from FEMA emergency funds to fund immigrations related matters. That honor belongs to the Trump administration Trump administration moved FEMA funding to immigration efforts When Trump was president, his administration shifted FEMA funding, including money from the Disaster Relief Fund, to address immigration. In 2019, the Department of Homeland Security announced it was “reprogramming” some funds Congress had set aside.The department said it would transfer $271 million to immigration efforts. That included about $155 million from FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund base budget. https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2024/fema-hurricane-milton-money-spent-immigrants/
