Summary

Senator Bernie Sanders condemned Trumpā€™s order to freeze all federal loans and grants, calling it a ā€œdangerous move towards authoritarianismā€ and ā€œblatantly unconstitutional.ā€

The directive, exempting Social Security and Medicare, is expected to impact universities, nonprofits, food assistance programs, health centers, and disabled veterans.

Sanders emphasized that Congress holds the ā€œpower of the purseā€ and urged Americans to oppose the order.

Attorneys general are preparing legal challenges to overturn the freeze.

    I have my gripes with her policies, but no more or less than I do for any other politicians.

    Well, that says all that needs to be said. You donā€™t agree with her anyway and youā€™re just complaining when itā€™s not relevant.

    Itā€™s pathetic and insulting to my intelligence.

    Sadly, that have to appeal to people of all intellects, including the lowest.

      I said I have gripes. Do you agree with any politicians on every single stance they have??

        You said no more or less than any other politician. No less? Really? You canā€™t think of anyone worse?

        Youā€™re making a bad faith argument or you misspoke. Hopefully the latter.

          I bet you are exhausting to be around IRL. Obviously there are many politicians I agree with much less than her.

          I didnā€™t mean literally sheā€™s a 5 on my personal truth scale and all politicians are a 5 on my truth scale. I meant that on some topics I agree with her and on some I donā€™t. Which I could pretty much say about any political figure.

          I meant that to varying degrees I agree with or disagree with most politicians. I can probably find policies I like within any political figure. Hitler was a horrible fuckin person but he was weirdly protective of animals. I like what he did to protect animals during his lil hissy fit about getting kicked out of art school.

            This ā€œall politicians are equally badā€ nonsense is so worthless and ignorant. Just stop.

              I would really appreciate it you didnā€™t put any words in my mouth. I never said all politicians are equally bad.

              My stance would be more accurately described as all politicians are bad, but to varying degrees.

              Some are simply less bad. But all bad.

              Have a good day.
