No. Federal funding is allocated by Congress. Here's the problem, Congress isn't going to stop him until the red states are hurting from these stupid policies so badly that the constituents start loudly clamoring for their representatives to do their freaking job.
Republicans love to shriek about states rights until they are in power. Then they are all federalist, all the time. Just one of their endearing hypocrisies.

It was a mistake to be lenient on the traitors to America since the Civil war.

It's a good thing it's not illegal to protest so the tweet is moot.

Except he doesn’t follow laws.

Define Illegal Protests.

Any protests against der allmächtige Führer, or his policies.

Thank god we still have the SCOTUS, who will never let this clear and obvious violation of the 1st amendment stand.

Don’t protest without exercising your 2nd Amendment right, HEARD.

What is an illegal protest?
rbudrick
Whatever he doesnt like.

It's when protesters are speaking against anything the republicans do. They're even targeting lawmakers in some states https://www.newsweek.com/tennessee-bill-would-prohibit-voting-against-trump-immigration-policies-2023749

Imgur should warn Agent Orange regarding the offensive nature of such extreme stupidity, and threaten to cut off his Nadgers.

The nazis and other terrorists will still get to wear their masks, I bet. https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/21/us/columbus-ohio-neo-nazi-march/index.html

By definition, the right to protest is assured. Trying to get others to break the law FOR him is a regular occurrence for him...
GanjaPlanet
Mark my words, the jack booted thugs beating protesters will all wear masks.

And get federal pardon if they are just vigilanties reacting to his dog whistle.

What a president is allowed to do and what this one does has been two entirely different things since he entered office
djevelen
nothing like 1A Violations to start the morning huh?
FaecalJacksonPollock
Meanwhile the fuckers who are always harping on about 2A are on his side, even though this is the exact tyranny it's supposed to prevent.
djevelen
Of course it is, but to understand that you need a like a 6th grade level of reading comprehension, and well... we all know why that isnt the case.
