Elvis Presley was paid $100 million by USAID to pose with Zelenskyy. Unbelievable!

I will pose with Zelenskyy that for 10% of that. That's a bargain. :03: We can even do a comedy skit if he likes although, that's extra. :03:

What’s the problem? The GOP has control of all three branches of government and should be able to pass a budget in line with GOP values. What’s not okay is this illegal attempt to cut already allocated funds by decree. Yes the president can change that but there is a procedure for doing so.

The legislative branch of the government controls the purse, not the executive branch. That’s in the constitution for those law and order types to think about.

Hmm...

Tried looking up that bit of "news", but haven't been able to find a $1000 million Elvis/Zelensky (there's only one "y" in his name, btw), so have you got any verifiable source for this apparent bit of MAGA nonsense?...

If the president can have it changed then it is not an illegal attempt.

Its Russian spelling Зеленский is romanized Zelenski, Zelenskii, Zelenskiy, or Zelensky, and originates from the toponym Zelyonoe (Зелёное), meaning 'green'. Its feminine counterpart is Зеленская (Zelenskaya or Zelenskaia). Its Ukrainian spelling Зеленський is romanized Zelenskyi, Zelensky, Zelenskiy, or Zelenskyy. Its feminine counterpart is Зеленська (Zelenska).

You're wasting your time. We on the other hand understand that in different parts of the world, things are spelled differently. For example, we spell Honor this way. In England, It's spelled Honour.


It's all good.

As far as MAGA nonsense, when a Political party, and it's followers, in this case, the Democrats, think that there are more than two genders, they are completely screwed up. One becomes stupid just by listening to their collective BS and nonsense.

When Zelensky was born Elvis had been dead for a year. Does that help?

:D

It is by using executive order. The president has to address congress with what specifically he wants changed in the allotments, not vague ideological ideas but pointing to what funding exact funding, and congress has 45 days to respond. They can agree to adopt the changes or reject the changes. It's how your government works.

I thought that too but was still hoping to get the 10 million if it was on the table. :03:

Then all executive orders are illegal. I'm laughing at the notion Elon is not an elected official and is swaying policy. Truth is a lot of billionaire are not elected officials and have swayed policy. Difference is Elon is not hiding it.

Soros. Billionaire. Sways policy. Not elected.

I thought that Trump got elected because eggs were expensive? :hmmm:

Partially. Bird influenza is driving prices now.

Which reflects my point exactly; there is so much nonsense being sprouted by MAGAts and the real hazard is the gullibility of the Trumpettes to go along with it blindly, nodding their vacant little heads like bobblehead dolls; it was obvious to me the post was bogus, but, unfortunately, there are those who would lap it up like mother's milk...

BTW, are you all set to be the 51st state, yet...?... :03:

Or maybe people just played along with it for the joke that it was. Satire and sarcasm can be lost on some. As far as Magna crazies, let me ask you something, since you follow the Liberal BS spouted by the Democrats.

How many gender's are there ? Simple enough question.
