Trump wants our Capitol to have less crime and homelessness. The left hates the idea

Or arresting Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff and Barack Obama.

Now THAT sounds like a plan....💯

Pfft, as if they want to work.

There are plenty of jobs, why don’t they take one?

I take it you haven’t had to try to find a job for a while. (You’ll get there, sooner or later you’ll be replaced by AI.)

And have never had to try to get one when you don’t even have an address, a safe place to shower, a way to wash your clothes, etc.

You would be wrong. It’s actually very easy to find a job. You apply for them.

If you are the kind that stand and screams “help“ when the escalator stops working rather than use your legs to walk off, then life will always be difficult looking for the next handout or free ride.

And because it was easy for you that means it must be for everyone else, right? Regardless of background, location, health, education, etc.?

Yes, it as easy as applying for a job which anyone without mental disabilities can do. If you are mental then maybe you should be in an institution.

Yes, applying is easy. (Aside from some of the sketchy bs some employers are now doing.)

GETTING the job is what isn’t.

Depends on the job and expectation. Some jobs are easier to get than others. An entry level job is pretty easy to get.

They can get money and food from the government and and charities as well as free cell phones. If they dont eat it’s because they buy drugs and don’t want to.

And you’ve clearly never had to apply for any of those assistance programs. They’re not the effortless handouts to anyone with a pulse that conservative media makes them out to be.

Must not be too hard, every homeless guy with a give me money sign has one. As a matter of fact they go out and look for them to give them free Bennie’s. Sounds pretty easy, because it is.

Of course hard is getting up everyday and going to work. Bet you can’t do it.

Lol I’d love to meet these people doing welfare housecalls. Must have missed them behind the unicorns.

Working EVERY day? You might be right, that might wear me down after a while. Fortunately we still have labor laws that mean I never work more than six a week.

Right, your against overtime pay I’m sure. Some people work more than one job to get ahead.

And Maybe your state doesn’t coddle the homeless and criminals, but I doubt it.

And some people work more than one job because they can’t afford a place to live with only one.

Why would I be against overtime pay because I’m against overworking people?

I sense you have never “overworked” a day in your life.

Except in this case the law is the one that holds the key.

Sure I support prisons who treat everyone the same and house and feed them.

Helping the homeless who actually want help is different than making excuses for those who want to remain on the streets and live without rules.

He's limited in where he can use money. For instance if $100,000 is allocated by congress to fund leftist media on NPR, he can choose not to use that money on NPR, but he can't spend it anywhere else.
Luckily congress allotted money for "emergency" powers like the ones he's using.

He can withhold money or freeze it or give it somewhere else ina department

Actually, he can only do that if that permission is written into the specific funding bill. That's why he lost so many law suits when he started freezing money. He didn't have the authority to do so.

Not spending the money is part of the balance of powers. Just like Biden chose not to charge people if they didn't pay their student loans. If congress thinks the president isn't doing his job, the answer is impeachment not a judge saying he has to do it.
Essentially he can just say "you've made your ruling, now try to enforce it."

No. It's not. The bill has to specifically say if the President can withhold or shift those particular funds.

This is why so many of those DOGE "cuts" ended up getting reversed by courts- because the specific bills funding that project/whatever didn't give the President the authority to remove/stop/change the funding.

Presidents aren't Kings. Their job is to carry out what Congress says to do.

Nope. Read the constitution. It says nothing of the kind.

Sure. Show me the part where the President is given the authority to decide where and how money is spent.

Because when I read the constitution Article 1 says Congress has the authority to decide how, when, and where money is spent.

No, it says
Article I, Section 7, Clause 1:
"All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills."
Article I, Section 8, Clause 1:
"The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;"
Article I, Section 9, Clause 7:
"No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time."

It says about the president
Article II, Section 3 of the United States Constitution:
"He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States."
What's funny is if they start talking impeachment he can just send them all home until his term is over.

So... where in all of that says the President gets to decide what money goes where?

Article I, Section 8, Clause 1:
"The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to PAY THE DEBTS.

emphasis mine.

Do you see that? PAY THE DEBTS. That means they pay the bills. The President does not have that power.

Not at all, but you asked if I support the government support the government spending money to house and feed people. I gave you an example of one circumstance I support it. There are a few others but not broad commie inspired guaranteed income bs.

Probably tariff money or maybe savings from border operations and free handouts to illegal crossers. Suddenly you’re fiscally conservative? You never asked where’s the money coming from when they were giving to illegals all the while denying it to needy citizens. You’ve been hoaxed.

"So... where in all of that says the President gets to decide what money goes where?

Read the part about the president, and then find the past in the laws passed that specifically tells the president to disburse the money. It allots the money but doesn't force disbursement. Therefore Trump can just not touch it and he's legally covered.

On Wednesdays we wear pink!
