The Constitution explicitly requires that any disbursement of funds from the US Treasury must have congressional approval. But Scott Bessent is plucking down $40 billion to bail out one of his investment buddies' bad bets in Argentina, and he isn't even briefing Congress about it.

The glutinous orange pedo would rather give $40 billion to Milei than help Americans who are struggling in his lousy economy.

@#1 ... The glutinous orange pedo would rather give $40 billion to Milei than help Americans who are struggling in his lousy economy. ...

That looks to be the case here.

Which raises a major question ...

Why does the President of the Untied States seem to be more concerned about Argentina than the American people?

Don't trust people who habitually punch down and revel in inflicting pain on others.
Never.
Ever.

The point of this entire administration is to inflict pain on people deemed unworthy of surviving.

If King Trump can move money around to pay troops, why isn't he moving money around to keep these benefits accessible?

Oh right. Because he's full of s*&^ and the rubes continue to lap it up.

ICE is still getting paid though. We can all see that the American people are still the Trump administration's lowest priority.

How much hate can Trump generate before GOPhers in the House finally can't take any more from their constituencies?
