It is not a grey area. Trump is openly violating the law in several different areas. Republicans have the office of President and the House and the Senate. If they want to make changes do so legally otherwise Trump is simply adding massive costs to the system.

What grey area did the Clinton's not jump?

You conservitards have to learn, even in rudimentary fashion, that there's nothing intrinsically wrong with government spending. If you don't have government spending, you have Somalia. Very little government spending there. It must be a veritable paradise! Likewise, debt is only a BAD THING if the cost of carrying that debt exceeds the benefit gained from acquiring said debt--wouldn't you agree (if you're honest, you should)? For instance, Biden's infrastructure bill includes trillions in expenditures that must be financed by debt--but isn't it worth it (and pleeze, let's not have any stupid debate about sustainable energy right now)?
There won't be an end to government spending unless there is an end to the government (quite possible if the Turd keeps on living). Any reduction will be gradual and incremental, not melodramatically catastrophic. Stop being a lock-step conservative for a moment or two and look at the situation realistically. Conservitards have been bleating doom and gloom since WWII. Then they vote for tax cuts that exacerbate the problem they bleat about.
Damned right..PROFLIGATE (wasteful, eg) spending in my eyes. And in the eyes of over half the electorate ..your stances were rejected by the majority. Find a way to adjust to that..your side was resoundingly rejected and part of that was due to debt, inflation, and government spending.. There's your "intrinsically wrong" pill..take your meds.
Your eyes are still covered; it's not the spending per se..it's the spending beyond our means and foolish expenditures on nonproductive programs for the majority. Every govt accounting agency has been decrying this situation for years; hell you like govt agencies, right? Then why don't you heed their assessments? You think you're smarter than they are, just like you think you're smarter than anybody else on the planet who happens to not support your stances. You really isolate your arguments and their sway factors when you can't see anything beyond your own concrete shoes. Take your myopic arguments elsewhere..here's a quarter.

Nope. Sorry. The electorate voted with their rice bowls and nothing else--all butt-hurt by the cost of groceries and somehow stupidly believing the snake-oil saleman that he would wave his arm and make it magically all go away.
I also won't let you wriggle free from the fact that blaming US policies and leadership for WORLDWIDE inflation that was FAR WORSE elsewhere and has largely abated is STOOOOOOOPID. I don't care what percentage of the electorate was that idiotic.
But yes, Nines: I am indeed smarter, much smarter, than anyone who voted for Trump...and you.
There has never been a more Orwellian effort in our government's history.
Draining the swamp and getting rid of waste/fraud abuse is the motto of DOGE.
So far the've
-fired all the inspectors general whose job description is to find fraud.
-They've put a freeze on hiring new IRS agents whose job description is to recover tax fraud.
-They shut down the CFPB whose job is to recover bank and financial fraud
-dissolved the humanitarian agency in the government suing the DOGE leader's company
-Even upon finding our about massive fraud payments with the entitlement programs they are asking people in charge of recovering those payments to resign.
Dont listen to what they say. Watch what they do.

I find it insanely ironic that we're in this specific forum trying to define intelligence. You're routinely offensive, vulgar, insultive, and you have exactly zero humility and/or respect for real liberty..eg flexibility toward views differing from your own. None of those traits you often exhibit here lend themselves to some sort of mensa category as you consistently profess to be a member of.
There are some others on the left in here , most of whom have at least some thread of reasonability, that one can have an occasionally sensible conversation with despite huge issue disagreements. That's impossible with you; and you think that's due to your inherent intellect? You think that represents an individual with some deep thought processes in action? Post somebody else besides me, please. I'll avoid posting you..reciprocally..because you're too smart and arrogant to talk to. Have fun.

I made no claim for particular intelligence (though I am, by any objective measure, quite intelligent); let me refresh your memory as to what I actually said.
I'm smarter than YOU. A low bar, indeed. I'm also smarter than MAGAs. But that just means I'm smarter than a potted plant.
You're entitled to your political/social/economic views, as I am to mine. I can't help but notice, though, that when prodded to defend those views, you devolve to platitudes, shibboleths, slogans, trigger words, and party prattle...which happens most often when your positions aren't logically defensible. That's better than you screaming LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR like Millerscum does, though. A sign of weakness either way.
Oh, and since you want to do a Boilerboob and put words in my mouth, let me assure you: yes, I can't and won't try to reason with your kind, but that's not because of the yawning gulf between our levels of intellect. It's because YOUR KIND ARE UTTER ASSHOLES AND MAY HAVE FUCKED UP THIS COUNTRY FOR GOOD, AND AT THE VERY LEAST HAVE INFLICTED YEARS OF MISERY, SUFFERING, AND DEATH ON US AND YOUR OWN STUPID, EVIL, PETTY SELVES AS WELL.
Is the distinction clear?

Typical lying liberal DemocRat response - scream, berate and degrade others, claim superiority- all the while demonstrating why he is a disgusting, lying narcissist. This is the POS that ruined the Sink.

Really? Each and every time you do not post here for several days the Sink, each time, reverts back to a place of sane, cordial comments and discussion - the moment you return and post, the sink is flooded with filth, disgusting rhetoric, hatred and lies. You are solely responsible for the exodus of many former members who tired of your manic, uncalled for, filthy rhetoric. Many other members have complained multiple times about your behavior in the past, with many of them stopping to post again because you have been allowed to continue, even after being banned multiple times. The Las Vegas Advisor has been adversly affected by your actions - and you don't care.
