RiskyFlush:

A little more… Wow.

As a result, we have repeatedly advised OMB officials that pauses beyond Aug. 19, 2019 jeopardize the Department’s ability to obligate USAI funding prudently and fully, consistent with the Impoundment Control Act .

“Do you believe DOD is adequately protected from what may happen as a result of the Ukraine obligation pause? I realize we need to continue to give the WH has [sic] much decision space as possible, but am concerned we have not officially documented the fact that we can not promise full execution at this point in the [fiscal year].

Despite repeated warnings from the DOD to the OMB, the OMB now returns to say:

OMB developed a footnote authorizing DoD to proceed with all processes necessary to obligate funds. If you have not taken these steps, that is contrary to OMB’s direction and was your decision not to proceed. If you are unable to obligate the funds, it will have been DoD’s decision that cause any impoundment of funds.

The DOD responds:

“You can’t be serious. I am speechless.”

Not to worry, bunch Never-Trumper Obama/Hillary donors on the Soros payroll, Trump will purge OMB of all people not absolutely loyal to Trump and get this straightened out.

Just classic Republican politics.

Step 1: Pass ridiculous laws at the state level to make the law of the land completely unworkable.
Step 2: Use the unworkability of it to argue for overrule of said law.

grunching… so the TV news says “new emails” “devestating blow” etc

this isn’t going to change shit is it? This just further confirms the stuff we already knew or is there something actually new here that might move the needle?

LikeClockwork · January 3, 2020, 12:15am

Goebs80: nothing moved the needle

Absolutely everyone already knows he did it. We’ve been in “dead girl, live boy” territory since inauguration.

I think there could easily be an argument made that this is the biggest cult America has ever seen. That’s actually probably a “duh” comment. We’re in uncharted territory here. A huge minority of Americans think God himself is the President.
