0·13 hours agoHey everyone, this is a place to discuss issues. Don’t feed the trolls, but especially don’t invite them to come here. I get it and have done similar things myself, but this isn’t fighting. This is exactly what they want.
Phillip, let’s not attract people to fight here.
As I told another poster, you have to mark it as sarcasm now. Us mods on Lemmy are few and far between and I honestly can’t tell after handling shitty trolls. People are unironically saying that stuff, so go easy on me please. It’s only a temp ban in case I goof up. No one was permanently harmed.
He’s trying to take away Congress’s purse, so it’s pretty alarming. I think it’s more that people aren’t falling for his bs as much this time. We’re not freaking out over the little things so he’s going for the big things to get his name in the headlines.
Unfortunately, these really are big things. Universities and colleges getting shut down is pretty bad. All of the non-profits that depend on that money isn’t great either.
I marked the reason wrong accidentally, it’s troll baiting.
Turns out this isn’t hyperbole, more discussion here:
all “grant, loan and federal assistance programs” for at least 90 days. This appears to include everything the federal government does beyond the salaries of federal employees, direct checks to Social Security and Medicare beneficiaries and the US military. Mainstream media journalists are calling this “temporary” or a “pause”.
In practice, it amounts to the executive illegally seizing spending authority from Congress.

We’re attracting the good trolls, I’m sorry that I have to lock it.
It effects those 1000 people and they might not have even come from that country. Our country is depopulating because our birth rates are so low. We’re just going to be Disneyland for the rich and most of us just their servants.
I’m getting reports on you. It’s a fine line between disinformation that sounds “smart” and breaking the rules. I’m pulling it because it’s not being excellent to the people it effects.
You’re muddying the waters. If you want to have a discussion, stop giving it a volatile label. Regardless of your point, your label has me involved now.
Something fucky is going on. Did it not happen or are they trying to make it so others don’t get the same idea?
Judging by the schedules they keep, I’m pretty sure it’s people outside the US. I really don’t know who it is though, but they’re pretty good ones. Every now and then, we get the really good ones. I don’t know why a little place like this community on Lemmy would draw that caliber, but it is what it is.
I can’t find any articles saying they still refuse to leave. If anyone can provide something other than a screenshot, please do. Is this still the case or have they left?
It’s not about making a dent, it’s about striking fear. That part is working.
I appreciate that. I can’t find any articles talking about it still, even on Politico even though they’re hosting that letter. Very odd.
I didn’t tie those together as being the same thing. I can’t find confirmation of this, do you have a link? Even the wikipedia page doesn’t update that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_dismissals_of_inspectors_general
Hey my guy, it seems like you’re trying to stir up some stuff. I’m happy to give you a timeout for a day or two. You’re welcome to your opinion, but we’re treading into troll bait territory. Let’s end this convo here.
Do you mean the ones who didn’t carry out raids while Biden was in office?
This is not good. How are the guys who do evil so healthy? He has a steady diet of hamburgers and adderall.
This was done by republicans to strip desantis of his power and give it someone else. Was the little d not doing as he was told?
