Trump Attacks 'Major Sleazebag' Jim Acosta Over CNN Exit: 'Really Good News!'

Wow, really good news! Jim Acosta, one of the worst and most dishonest reporters in journalistic history, a major sleazebag, has been relegated by CNN Fake News to the Midnight hour, “Death Valley,” because of extraordinarily BAD RATINGS (and no talent!). Word is that he wants to QUIT, and that would be even better. Jim is a major loser who will fail no matter where he ends up. Good luck Jim!

Late last night, Donald Trump's White House budget office ordered a pause in grants, loans, and other federal financial assistance. Experts say that the memo as written could mean a rapid halt to scores of federal functions already approved by Congress— from assistance to homeless shelters to financial aid for college students. Health grants distributed by the CDC, and state aid for disaster reconstruction, might also face delays.



This is arguably Trump's most brazen move yet since returning to office. The move also closely mimics plans laid out in the deeply unpopular Project 2025, which Trump tried desperately to distance himself from during his campaign. The mastermind behind the strategy is a key Project 2025 author and Trump's nominee to lead the Office of Management and Budget, Russell Vought. (He has yet to be confirmed — and if the Senate cares about congressional authority and checks and balances, it will vote him down.) Vought wants to resurrect the practice of withholding congressionally appropriated funds known as impoundment, which violates federal law and Supreme Court precedent. Legal challenges have already been filed by a coalition of states, and I'll try to keep you updated as they snake their way through the courts.



The bigger picture? This may seem like Trump just sowing more chaos and dysfunction as we've grown accustomed to, but it's deeper than that. It's all part of Trump’s plan to consolidate power — substituting loyalists for experts across the government, using retribution to intimidate others, purging the government’s independent inspectors general, giving the Defense Department more authority over civilian life (and putting a raving loyalist in charge), giving Elon Musk authority to cut spending and roll back regulations, and readying a massive tax cut for the wealthy and big corporations. Trump is leading a move to replace democracy with a government dominated by authoritarian oligarchs.
What are your thoughts?

I’m sure he’s going to do a podcast or something. Don’t watch CNN but I know he’s one of the few journalists who still takes his job seriously.

Typical centrist loser is here , biden pardoned his whole damn family and he wants to act like dems stand for the supposed purity politics

Going out like a real one. Getting cable news out of my watching habits has been an easy and welcome change and this just made it even easier.

@88m3 looks like the usual suspects strolled in doing their “what about ism” thing they got no shame to their game you have to respect it

I’m assuming most people recognize that. I thought it was pretty obvious everyone recognized it’s easier to destroy something than to build something. But apparently not.

One of them really came in to say "now is not the time to protest"

I'm guessing they're holding out hope they get issued brown shirts with this kind of fence sitting and soapboxing

I've got @Loose in another thread trying to convince me DEI wasn't worth fighting for because it is a "corporate scam" because Ryan Grimm and a light skinned brother who teaches at Bates College says so.

I'm not sure when/why they thought we speed ran the Civil Rights era and attaining racial equality but even living in NYC I'm not living under that notion


I'll keep trying to explain to them that the future they're making for the themselves and their children isn't the best one

after biden pardoned his brother don't want to hear about political purity

So is it wrong or naw….

On one hand you say you want the dems to start doing whatever the hell they want.

On the other hand you wanna cry about Biden protecting his family.

I thought you wanted some trumpism in the democratic party??

We already had Trumpism with the democratic party, biden pardoned his family and looked out for his own well being just LIKE trump. Unlike trump though, biden used some political purity excuse when it came to getting things done for his OWN constitutes ( student loans for example).
