The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) rescinded a memo Wednesday that had ordered a “temporary pause” on federal funding and unleashed major confusion across the country.
Why it matters: It’s an astonishing reversal by the Trump administration, a day after top officials defended the funding freeze — which a judge temporarily halted on Tuesday — as necessary to ensure all government spending was aligned with the president’s vision.
I don’t disagree that it matters. But I can’t help but think of every block of Cheetolini’s agenda as just temporary because he’ll simply keep taking it higher and higher until it hits the supreme court, and gets his way anyway.
That was his entire plan from the beginning. He knows that literally everything he tries to do is going to get challenged. And he knows that if he sticks to his guns and it gets to the SC, he wins every time.
If the SC was unbiased, I wouldn’t be so brazen about it. But we are at the point where nothing will make a permanent difference except dragging him and his cronies through the streets and damn the personal consequences.
The tree of liberty and all that jazz…
Edited to add: I should point out that I’m not American. I’m a Canadian who is terrified of your shit spreading north and dragging us into a fight we don’t want and literally begging you guys to fucking do something about it.
