WE KNEW Trump would not EXCLUSIVELY F*CK OVER "libs." Lauren Boebert, apparently, assumed otherwise.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) is firing back after President Donald Trump issued his first vetoes of his second term, including against a measure she sponsored.

Trump rejected a bipartisan bill on Tuesday that cleared the House and Senate to finish Colorado’s Arkansas Valley Conduit, a decades-long project aimed at delivering water to dozens of communities in the southeastern portion of the state. The bill would specifically lower payments residents within the Arkansas River Valley are required to make for construction of the water pipeline.

“Enough is enough,” Trump wrote in his message to Congress. “My Administration is committed to preventing American taxpayers from funding expensive and unreliable policies. Ending the massive cost of taxpayer handouts and restoring fiscal sanity is vital to economic growth and the fiscal health of the Nation.”

“Nothing says ‘America First’ like denying clean drinking water to 50,000 people in Southeast Colorado, many of whom enthusiastically voted for him in all three elections,” Boebert wrote. “I must have missed the rally where he stood in Colorado and promised to personally derail critical water infrastructure projects. My bad, I thought the campaign was about lowering costs and cutting red tape.”

She's an idiot so this is kinda predictable. Best part of his 'fiscally responsible' yammering is that he and his clown posse administration have blown a HOLE through the federal deficit. Hypocritical turd that he is.

When power is based on it, it's agnostic about what it eats, where it comes from, or who gets hurt. He's probably not being mean per se; he probably has other plans for those resources, and that's the end of the discussion for him. Run cleanup, and move on to the next conquest...

But, "...he probably has plans..."?
I don't think he ever has a plan.
Others pulling the strings may, but there is little evidence he's capable of planning.
You don't really think the SPAC or crypto platform were his ideas, do you?

Taxpayer handouts to the richest Americans in the form of MORE TAX CUTS is just fine though?
