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.

Touché . Take away the baby blood and you've pretty accurately described the Diddy sex parties. Which is why they probably dreamed up and spread Pizzagate. So anyone who mentioned the Diddy sex parties would be scoffed at and ridiculed.

February 11, 20251 yr Remarkable how all these left wing Democrats hate democracy. Trump didn’t make people in America see things his way, he simply tapped into what the voters were feeling and wanting. And he read the room correctly, because the voters had had enough of all the woke nonsense, and being marginalised so that minorities could be prioritised. And they were fed up with America being played for the fool by the UN, NATO, UNRWA, WHO etc, etc, etc; and fed up with terrorist supporters taking over University campuses. He is changing all of that. And it’s no use all the left wingers on here telling people they voted the wrong way, and calling them morons or useful idiots, because all that does is confirm the suspicion that you only like democracy when it yields the result that you want; which make you look about as democratic as Kim Jong Un.
