There you go. Fighting Trump works.
Quote:White House rescinds Trump's funding freeze after massive backlash
"This is an important victory for the American people whose voices were heard after massive pressure from every corner of this country — real people made a difference by speaking out," Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), the top Democrat on the Appropriations Committee, said in a statement.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

These are just trial balloons. It will morph into something else and be back soon.

But I thought all the people wanted what Trump wanted.

Silly you, then - the people who voted for Trump don’t even want what Trump wanted, they just haven’t realized it yet.
This is called the ‘…and find out’ phase.

FAFO seems to have replaced the phrase "right side of history" as the sign of self-professed intellectual superiority.

It wasn't when Trumps lapdogs controlled it . It was when it actually held him accountable.

Actually both remain true . We are on the right side of history in long run you are on the losing side and you will also learn before long the folly of the MAGA cult.

You are a disgusting person. I pity you.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Trump remains at large, doesn't he. I feel like uncle joe would have gulaged him. As it stands, and just like in his two impeachments, there's no doubt he's guilty guilty guilty, and he's been convicted as such. We're just not going to do anything about it.
