  1. ““No President—Republican or Democrat—can withhold federal funding authorized and appropriated by Congress and paid for by Maine taxpayers in an attempt to coerce someone into compliance with his will,” Mills said. “It is a violation of our Constitution and of our laws, which I took an oath to uphold.”

    Who and what will he target next? Will it be you? Will it be because of your race or your religion? Will it be because you look different or think differently? Where does it end?” Mills asked.

    She added, “In America, the President is neither a King nor a dictator, as much as this one tries to act like it – and it is the rule of law that prevents him from being so.” — Gov Martin

  2. Tell me how this isn’t the weaponization of government.

  3. I’ve only been to Maine twice. and both times i found that it was full of really independent people who had a harder than average living and as a result did not quite like anybody bothering them or telling them what to do. like an east coast Alaska. it’s almost like the admin wants a skirmish. i don’t understand!

  4. Anonymous republicans from Maine have been quoted as expressing “concern” with furrowed brow over these events

  6. What happened to “states rights?”

    That’s kind of a rhetorical question considering that the MAGA agenda is fueled almost entirely by Republicans’ irrational and ideological convictions, which means that any rights, freedoms and privileges that get in the way of this agenda are fair game.

  7. Finally we get to see that ‘lawfare’ and ‘weaponization of the government’ we’ve all been told about, but haven’t seen.

  8. Fuck Donald Trump with an unlubed flail. Traitor to the world. The most degenerate person currently alive on earth.

  9. Now more people need to stand up to him to his face like this. Power in numbers.

  10. Trump is outpacing Hitler’s 53 day record at this point

  11. Weaponizing the gov’t. Remember when the idiots said the dems were doing this?

    every accusation is an admission.

  13. “investigation”? What’s to investigate it’s on video in a public meeting. More accurate to say federal government announces their intent for reprisals.

  14. So we are just investigating states now when they express an opinion that differs from tumps?

  15. America knew Trump was a bully when they voted for him. America has watched him lie about his bullying right after it he did it live right in front of them. All this could of been prevented with on simple rule, NO FELONS FOR PRESIDENT!

  16. We all knew he would weaponize the DOJ. It’s like the cheater accusing his wife of cheating. He repeatedly said the dems were doing it because that was what HE would do.

  17. The investigation is dumber than fuck. Who cares. He’s an asshole and I’m glad someone talked back to the fuckwad.

  18. Trump will do this over and over again and no one will ever mention what an enormous drain of resources this crap is.

  19. Any normal administration and this would be an abuse of power.

    I’m so over this timeline

  22. I found the waste, fraud and abuse. It is this administration

  23. This is all Lincoln’s fault, shoulda hanged all the traitors.

  24. This literally would have been an Article of Impeachment for abuse of powers if this was the Nixon Administration.
