The leopards are quickly becoming morbidly obese
Suspiciously well fed leopards of the USA
The rate they're eating at, they're not going to have a chance to get obese, morbidly or otherwise, before they burst like a bunch of Mr Creosotes.
"But Sir, it is wafer-thin." "Fuck Off, I couldn't eat another bite"
I'm so fucking glad that the letter specifically calls out Trump's EO. Its the only way to breakthrough to these people.
The letter in question
wow. they're actually taking the money back after the program funds were distributed to the participants' utility accounts.
hahahaha brilliant! Can they read though?

Where's that rugged individualism?
Exactly! They should pull themselves up by their bootstraps. And cut out all that avocado toast.
"Damn immigants stole ma' bootstraps!"
Hundreds of people in Alabama were recently notified that their energy bills will spike thanks to President Donald Trump‘s recent executive orders.
Alabama went for Trump in the 2024 election by more than 30 percentage points.
“Donald Trump promised that, as president, he would drastically lower Americans' energy bills. But hundreds of Alabama residents are receiving a $100 surcharge on their energy bills as a direct result of Trump’s actions in the White House,” wrote Judd Legum on X, along with a letter from Huntsville Utilities to its customers.
“Community Action Agency of Huntsville/Madison & Limestone Counties has notified us that the grant you received for $100.00 on January 23, 2025 is no longer valid due to President Trump’s executive order to rescind the funding behind the grant,” the letter read.
Americas energy, not the citizens. He owns America now so it's his bills he's lowering, not yours.
'Civilians hate this one trick'
If Democrats ever get back into power, they'll get yelled at for not fixing all this shit fast enough.
You mean like how they fixed the corporate tax rate, where Trump took it from 35% to 21%, and Biden campaigned on raising it to 28%, before ultimately not raising it back at all?
anything biden wanted to do would have required significant support from republicants in the senate. 60 votes for cloture, i.e. avoid or end a filibuster and bring the matter to a vote. at least for now it's still 60--and 60 is not needed to revise or eliminate that. i suspect they'll "need" to do just that in order to ram the really bad shit through congress.
I don't see a problem with that. They're not doing much that matters right now and now's the time to find their balls. There are a few saying the right things but we still had an illegal alien from South Africa holding a press conference from the Oval Office while his little kid mouthed off to the supposed President who in turn mostly just sat there making weird twitching motions.
You actually believe Democrats are going to fix this? hahahaha
lmaooo have fun with that, Alabama. Nothing like having voted for the asshole who’s now fucking you in the ass.
The other source in the comments says this only impacts about 250 customers. I suspect the Trumpies among them will quickly talk themselves into thinking that's money well spent for one more Let's Go Brandon. After all they're conditioned to double down on taking it in the shorts and liking it.
They will blame Democrats for it. Because anything bad in their lives is caused by a Democrat, and only a Republican can solve it.
They won't even attempt to rationalize how it was caused by Democrats.
Why do they need NASA if their utilities are making rockets
click bait headline...
this is what the same company (advance publications) posted on their alabama site (the post link is new jersey):
Trump executive order leads to $100 charge for 250 Huntsville Utilities customers
This affected 250, I’m guessing poor, people.
Damn that’s crazy
