Federal officials said in court documents that they halted billions of dollars in funding for energy projects to states “based solely” on whether they backed President Trump in the 2024 election.

    Remember folks: they’re making these admissions because they don’t want the judge to order them to turn over even more damaging documents in discovery.

    States That Did Not Vote For Him

    It is very funny to tell California, a state with some of the party’s biggest donors, to fuck right off because only 6M of its residents voted for you.

      The donors are rich and some combination of complete fucking morons and eyes-wide open supporters using fascism to achieve their interests. They probably love it.

        They’re thrilled. People like this love to see others suffer, especially people that they know personally.

      Unfortunately, he strongly disagrees, and does so with the implicit agreement of the Congress people also voted for.

        Yup. And not only does he not give a flying fuck, but he’s demented and probably doesn’t even know where he is right now.

          The fuckin pedophile thinks he’s in a perpetual state of reality TV where he’s the main character… and the world gives him that pleasure by constantly giving him attention day in and day out. If we could go a week, hell… even just one day without giving the disgraceful pedophile pile of shit a spotlight, he’d probably die of an aneurism. That’d be a gift to the world!

      There are 5.8 million republican voters in California, a state that didn’t go to Trump.

      5.8 million republicans, that’s 8 times the population of Alaska, 10 times the population of Wyoming, 5 times the population of Delaware.

      This is why we choose presidents for the people, not for the states that voted for them.

      We really need to get rid of the electoral college and make sure that 1 vote in California equals 1 vote in Vermont.
