Dotard Threatens Indiana Over Gerrymandering

Thursday, December 11, 2025

Heritage Action @Heritage_Action President Trump has made it clear to Indiana leaders: if the Indiana Senate fails to pass the map, all federal funding will be stripped from the state. Roads will not be paved. Guard bases will close. Major projects will stop. These are the stakes and every NO vote will be to blame.

Sort of thing that makes me actually curious how BELLRINGER will respond.

His response would be that Kamala would have been magically worse. He doesn't do accountability for his vote.

He needs to stop with his extortionist BS. Fact is Congress appropriates funds, not POTUS. If he actually tries this a judge needs to slap an injunction right quick.

Republicans are bullies who think it's funny to hurt people.

Even funnier if you can make them cry.

Grab 'em by the -----, if you want to.

Did congress approve the money we sent to Argentina?

The answer is no. Trump has already neutered them.

Well that is what federalism is.

Why do think the US K-12 education system is so horrible?

Fact is Congress appropriates funds, not POTUS.

Both sides do this to coerce federal policy/opinions, just Trump is more explicit.

I figured out that Argentina scam a few weeks ago thanks to A_Friend.

Argentina has reneged on IMF loans twenty times. Libertarian loser Javier Milei is going to skip to Israel in a few years with his pockets full of American taxpayer cash and Tel Aviv won't extradite him.

The headline from that article...

Indiana Senate rejects GOP-drawn congressional map in a major rebuke of Trump

It looks like Pres Trump's extortion attempt didn't work.

#9 | Posted by LampLighter at 2025-12-11 05:14 PM

The Trumpf junta's mafia extortion and threat tactics didn't work this time.

More and more state leaders of both parties ought to pay attention to this because there will be a "tomorrow" when the GOP is out of power.

This is a lesson from Pashtunistan. For centuries, the different warring ethnic groups in Afghanistan (e.g. Pashtuns, Tajiks, Hazaras, Uzbeks) always left an "out" for their enemy because they knew they had to live with them "tomorrow." A group can stay and fight to the bitter end in that battle, or take that out 'inadvertently' afforded them.

That's how Usama Bin Laden (UBL) 'miraculously' escaped the 2001 winter Battle of Tora Bora. He and his cadre took that 'out' afforded them.

There is not enough spray tan in the world to disguise the awfulness of the day Donald Trump just had.
The House rejected one of his executive orders; another grand jury refused to indict Letitia James; a judge freed Kilmar Abrego Garcia and called out the Administration's --------; Kristi Noem faceplanted in congressional testimony; his concept of a health care plan crashed in the Senate; and his poll numbers continued to crater."

"But all of this was merely prologue to Trump's humiliation by the sort of Republicans we are thought were utterly extinct."

"Despite a vicious pressure campaign, the Republican-dominated Indiana Senate overwhelmingly rejected Trump's demand that they gerrymander the state's congressional map to benefit the GOP."

"What happened yesterday " an outburst of Republican courage " was as rare as a sighting of Bigfoot, Lindsey Graham's spine, or natural breasts at Mar-a-Lago."

Obama: to strong-arm the education establishment to accept more charter schools and performance pay for teachers.

the Trump: to strong-arm the legislative establishment to make more Congressional districts for Trump.

No wonder you couldn't tell the difference.

You both lack empathy, but are both overflowing with Rationalisierungen fr den lieben orangefarbenen Anfhrer

Danforth,

Reminds bell boi of the murder of Melissa Hollman, her husband, and their dog... all in front of their daughter.

#21 While Patricide Jeff laughs and laughs and laughs at ICE kidnapping fathers, zip-tying kids, shooting priests, ripping moms from carpool lines, and terrorizing entire otherwise peaceful cities.

Yep.

That's bell boi for you.

"I've been clear that I oppose this."

Hardly.

Where are your comments about North Carolina? Or Missouri? Or the absolute worst, Wisconsin?

FTW, Wisconsin has gerrymandered to the point Democrats could get 75% of the statewide vote, and still not control the legislature. (For comparison, the largest landslide in Presidential history was ~61%.)

And North Carolina?!? Boaz refuses to answer my question, If Republicans get the majority of votes statewide, should they control the legislature? He feels it's a "gotcha" question.

#26 | Posted by Danforth at 2025-12-12 09:53 PM

"I've been clear that I oppose this."

Like when you voted for it?

#27 | Posted by snoofy at 2025-12-12 09:55 PM

"He needs to stop with his extortionist BS."

But why this time? This is his usual MO. All his BS is extortionist BS.

ICE consuming ten billion dollars of taxpayer money to build camps and fly detainees around is simply extortionist BS against the taxpayer with extra steps.

You ever hear of the No Child Left Behind Act?

en.wikipedia.org

To receive school funding from the federal government, U.S. states had to create and give assessments to all students at select grade levels.

Just pointing out you're an ignorant ----

Oh and as for Obama

Obama's objectives also entailed lowering the achievement gap between Black and White students and also increasing the federal budget by $3 billion to help schools meet the strict mandates of the bill.

So, Obama actually HELPED states meet the mandate

Now how again is this worse than what President Piggy is doing?

Of course. Another W admin creation that was terrible.

Sadly, no. And it's gotten far worse with DEI.
