He's not worth your effort.

Paladin doesn't even read the articles he ******* posts. Just sees a headline, or gets fed a rhetoric and comes here to scream at all of us about it, often times over the voices of people actually affected by the issues he thinks he's educating us on.

Some of them are starting to step up, even in small ways: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/co...d-trumps-state-department-nominees-rcna190470

WASHINGTON — Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, said Monday he’s placing a “blanket hold” on President Donald Trump’s nominees for the State Department, tamping down his hopes of quickly installing personnel in key positions.

Schatz, who is on the Foreign Relations Committee, said his move is in protest of Trump’s billionaire adviser Elon Musk’s declaring that he and Trump will shut down the U.S. Agency for International Development


“Dismantling USAID is illegal and makes us less safe. USAID was created by federal law and is funded by Congress. Donald Trump and Elon Musk can’t just wish it away with a stroke of a pen — they need to pass a law,” Schatz said in a statement.

“Until and unless this brazenly authoritarian action is reversed and USAID is functional again, I will be placing a blanket hold on all of the Trump administration’s State Department nominees,” he continued. “This is self-inflicted chaos of epic proportions that will have dangerous consequences all around the world.”

I think having been yelled at by people all weekend must have given them a bit of a spine.

Ironbite-cause it seems they're doing everything we asked them to do this weekend now.

Well, honestly there has been a lot of complaint about their supposed spinelessness, but he just took the oath 2 weeks ago and it was a blitzkrieg. I'm not surprised if it took them a second.

Yeah but this is only nominees for the State Department. Not all nominees. And Trump already got his Secretary of State two weeks ago. The same Secretary of State who is fully on board with what's happening to USAID.

I guess it's something, but this doesn't even stall anything Trump is trying to accomplish.

So Trump has said that America is going to "take over" Gaza and bomb it to the ground. All Palestinians should leave before they start leveling it.

Sure hope the purists are super happy with how things turned out. Good job fucknuts.

Congress needs to put a stop to him NOW before it's too late.
