Bet you he has no problem with Elon doing the same though

So here's what's pissing me off

You have literal government representatives sitting here tweeting talking about "This ILLEGAL act will destroy lives" but then just say we're working on it with no real substance beyond that?

Like hello?

Millions of people are about to not be able to get food for their families, pay for their education, or even see a doctor. Why do you F***ING DO SOMETHING INSTEAD OF TWEETING

It would be better if y'all didn't say s*** at all. Cut the fake sympathy crap, either don't say anything or TELL US HOW YOU'RE GOING TO HANDLE THIS.

Filibuster I guess (if Congress does get involved and don’t just roll over), judge issuing freezes, that’s all I can think of.

They don’t hold a majority in any of the 3 branches.

That dude is apparently a physician as well.

I mean aren’t lawsuits getting thrown out left and right, right now?

I keep hearing this, but like, actually what else do you propose they do when they have no power anywhere, like @CrimsonArk said?

This is shady asf.

They “say” it won’t affect individual aid, but can’t name a damn program that they are pausing.

I caught week mute on here for joking about this same thing

I just feel like on a communication front it's failing.

Like at least make it seem like you're going to try and stop it. If lawsuit are all they can do it is what it is but COMMUNICATE THAT

I don't know this past week has thrown me into some depressive spiral and now I'm looking for any semblance of hope but it doesn't seem like there will be any

Wait do we know what’s getting paused exactly since they walking it back?

They don’t seem to know, or they’re just gaslighting.

they will handle it by making racist dogwhistles about how this is somehow the fault of voters of color

Like bruh came out and said one thing then said “syke!” I’m in college so I gotta find out what’s going on

I feel you brother, but at the same time I feel like you’re letting your frustration get the best of you — your first post is asking for the opposition to “do something” and now your second post is asking for “better communication.” Those are extremely different things.

I feel like in reality your frustration would still be there if they said “unfortunately, we’re not able to do much more than sue at this point” — which is totally understandable.

But the reality is, getting frustrated at the opposition party that has no power is illogical. The true focus of your frustration should be directed at Americans who paved the way for this current situation (which is a very deep and nuanced thing, and tougher to focus frustration on).

Does he have gauze in his mouth

I hold frustration at those people you mentioned in the last point as well.

I think this action with the federal funding kind of is my breaking point in terms of my anger. Like holy s***.

The American people as a whole have been duped. 50% of the country believed that this guy was going to come in and make their lives better and he has effectively made them much worse in 8 days.

I used to have a lot of faith in this country. It began waining away in 2016 (once I started college). I think I have hit full disillusionment.

Wasn’t like this when I was in school (admittedly a long time ago) but if this has been changed that’s unexpectedly positive

Joking? I’m honestly shocked Trump knows this, this is basically true

I feel you man, we just gotta grind and do the best we can for those we care about at this point.

Unfortunately to your point about Trump voters though, I honestly doubt that they will ever see themselves as “duped”. The way people get their information via social media and through their bubbles these days means that they will buy whatever propaganda they are fed, regardless of what occurs around them.

i’ve let this stew in my head too long and i’m still pissed lowkey…they don’t know the sacrifices that some teachers themselves make to improve the quality of life for their students outside of the classroom. there are students who depend on those meals because that is their only way of eating for the day; s*** some of them can’t even buy a set of socks, underwear, and deodorant because of their living situation. this is why i look down on people who think teachers shouldn’t be paid more; they don’t know S***

Wait, the Press Sec. didn’t know about the Medicaid freeze?

Oh my God, they actually don’t know what they just did?

Bruh they shut down my kids whole preschool over this s***

Why yall bum ass niggas vote for this nigga

I wouldn’t trust a word they say about “not knowing” tbh

Tell that to the mods who care more about Snowflake than actual history
