The jackass can’t stand the fact that Colorado doesn’t kiss his flabby white ass, sooo…he’s out for revenge.
December was a busy month for retaliation. The president announced he would dismantle the Boulder-based National Center for Atmospheric Research, vetoed a unanimously-passed bill to finish a water conduit to southeastern Colorado residents, rejected emergency funds for fire and flood disasters in western Colorado, canceled $109 million in transportation grants for Colorado, and issued a fake pardon to Tina Peters.
In January, the administration notified the state that it would withhold funds for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, the Social Services Block Grant program and the Child Care and Development Fund pending “review.”
In February, the administration announced it would take back $25 million in health funds from Colorado.
Colorado isn’t just standing up for itself but for the constitutional provisions that ensure the division of power between the federal government and states known as federalism.
In the words of that inspiring November video: “Don’t give up the ship!”
