He could give it away. But giving it away implies that you get nothing in return. He’s trying to buy things illegally with it.

She’s figuring out why families 200 years ago had a dozen kids.

If we stop thinking about what what he is doing from a “he thinks this good for the country” viewpoint and start thinking about it from a “he thinks this is good for Donald Trump” viewpoint it all makes sense.

Every military golf course I’ve known about have been funded through non-appropriated funds. Meaning that they, like most MWR functions on a base, have to pay for themselves and are not provided money from Congress to exist. The golf course at the base near me shut down recently because not enough people played to pay for it.

There are probably exceptions but probably not many.

The Republican playbook has never been to make government better. Their goal is to make it worse so they can get more people to agree that it just needs to be privatized.

I live in Louisana and personally know at least 5 people who have traveled to DC specifically for the inauguration. He might not have enough people to sate his appetite but there’s going to be quite a few people there.

I can’t even be excited for the awesome things some of his compaines are doing. The engineers ar Space X are doing amazing work but all I think about when I see it is Musk.

Biden didn’t weaponize the DoJ. At no point did he use it to attack opponents who hadn’t committed crimes as decided by grand juries. During Trump’s trials he was, at least publicly, hands off and let the AG do his thing.

Don’t confuse Biden giving his son a pardon after conviction with Nixon firing multiple AGs until he got to one that was fine with him being a literal criminal and Trump trying to find one (and succeeding) that wouldn’t release a report on how Trump is corrupt.

This is not a both sides thing.

The Attorney General leads the DoJ and is a member of the president’s cabinet. The DoJ is also part of the executive branch. While it is “bad form” for the president to order the AG to do something, the president can fire the AG. Look up what Nixon did to find out more.

Biden is in charge of the person in charge of the DoJ.
