Trump threatens to withhold federal funding from universities that allow protests (9 Viewers)

[superchuck500]

Apart from this being a blatant First Amendment violation and highly fascist - the craziest thing about this whole "the president can cut off all federal funding for anything at any time" is that its going to come back around - and the next president will have a different agenda and do the same thing. It's illegal and just a terrible way to run a country.

You ignore reality in place of what you want to believe. You probably still believe Republicans are better for the economy too, despite all the evidence to the contrary.

GOP and MAGA forever ruined it for me

We don’t need to see, we’ve already seen

Okay Mr. Both Sides, tell us specifically what the Biden Administration did that is comparable to what Trump and Musk are doing now

Historically both parties have abused things such as the filibuster rules in the Senate especially when it comes to the judiciary. I have seen Biden and Schumer on both sides of this issue for decades. That’s one example.

Both parties have problems with corruption. Both parties have problems with sexual harassment in the workplace.

Lately the Dems are all worried about the weaponization of the DOJ and the FBI for political purposes. And yet Obama’s AG proudly and loudly proclaimed himself to be POTUS’s “wingman” while slow walking congressional investigations into the administration. The investigation of 501(c)3 applications of Tea Party organizations comes to mind. Sec Clinton caused the destruction of evidence under a valid subpoena. Biden had his share of abuses of problems with classified documents. Not to mention the various investigations launched into the incoming Trump administration with unsubstantiated and unverified evidence.

There is all kinds of abuse going on by both parties. You may pretend it’s one sided. But it is not. Republicans do not trust Democrats anymore than Democrats trust Republicans. They have both abused their authority in the past and neither party is ready or willing to stop the merry go round and hold everyone to the same set of standards and the same set of rules.

I have watched this go on for decades and to hear supposedly intelligent people pretend it’s only the “other” party is laughable. It’s like watching school kids in a playground fight.
