Cuckoo Clock Sales Are Up!

A federal judge has decided that Elmo can’t shutdown USAID because he doesn’t have the legal or Constitutional authority to do so. This prompts Senator Blackburn to show you her ignorance.

This is more of your Trump derangement syndrome. This is more of these activist judges,” Senator Blackburn declared. “So here you have a judge who is standing up for wasting taxpayer money. It is not the judge’s money, it is not the court’s money. This is money that hardworking taxpayers have earned and sent to Washington, DC.”

“And if they’re going to decide, they don’t want to pay for Sesame Street in Iraq, or DEI education in another country, or trans surgeries in another country,” she claimed

They can do so through their senators and representatives, as the Constitution provides.

Unlike Sen. Cornpone Kennedy, she’s not faking it.

On Saturday, The New York Times in an extensive, interactive report revealed, “An estimated 1,650,000 people could die within a year without American foreign aid for H.I.V. prevention and treatment.”

“An estimated 500,000 people could die within a year without American funding for vaccines,” the report added. ” An estimated 550,000 people could die within a year without American funding for food aid.”

Also, nearly 300,00 could die from Malaria, and 310,000 from tuberculosis, the Times reported.

The World Health Organization (WHO has estimated that the USAID shutdown, as THEM reported, “could cause as many as 10 million additional HIV cases and three million HIV-related deaths.”

Elmo wants to know, from his high perch, why he should care if some of those dots stop moving? He also says he’s not in charge, he’s just an adviser, but he thinks it’s Trump Derangement Syndrome for a single judge to decide the Constitution doesn’t allow Elmo to fire any government employee he wants to.

Stephen Miller has thoughts:

There are nearly 700 unelected district court judges. If the most extremist of these judges on any given day decides he is in charge of the executive branch then Article II, democracy and government itself cannot function.

Pretty sure democracy functions first and foremost through Article I. Whether Congress wants it to, or not.
