One of these billionaires who says they care about democracy is going to have to set up a legal defense fund to pay the legal costs for all the people who are fired, prosecuted, and targeted by this regime. Normal people don’t have the money to fight it and the regime is counting on that.

Quite a first week of chaos. I do wonder when the American people come together and say no/enough. Seriously people need to wake up this is going no where good. Last trump term good people were around him....this time it's all yes men and women. He's getting rid of anyone who goes against him or he thinks will. People need to feel alarmed-now not later.


Most Americans clock out from politics after the election. Many people have no clue this is even going on.


Plus right wing media where many get their news is just pretending this didn’t happen


WSJ just posted this story and it is a well balanced article, and I say this as a Dem. At least their news side is doing its job even if most MAGA don’t read it.

No, actually almost all of them are Trump picks from his first term. Unlike Trump, Biden followed the law and didn’t fire them

LOL, yeah, right. All of the dismissed IGs were not doing their jobs? All at the same time? Please.

It may be technically illegal, but according to the article he did the same thing during his first term. I don’t believe anything happened then in response so it’s unlikely anything will happen now.

“
Trump ousted five watchdogs in quick succession during his first term in 2020, starting with Michael Atkinson, the intelligence community inspector general who alerted Congress to the whistleblower complaint that led to Trump’s first impeachment. Trump had appointed Atkinson. The president also removed the State Department’s chief watchdog, who had begun investigating alleged misconduct by then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.”


Five in ‘20 not 12 in ‘17.

Facts.

??? Why does MAGA reflexively spread disinformation? You know nothing of the details. I doubt you have any interest in learning the details.

It’s not one, it’s multiple.

Please tell me you know nothing about good governance…oh, but you did straight up.

No, actually several of them were Trump picks.

Oh, he definitely is an unprepared fighter. He is doing many unconstitutional things, such as this one, and we will see if the judiciary is okay with it. The ball is in their court.

He has dementia. His ideas are going to get worse and worse.


But the people who are drafting these docs do not. Trump is not acting alone. He has outsourced this to Stephen Miller et al.

He's moving so fast because he will be gone in four years. Vance will continue the reforms.


What reforms?

People doing criminal shit.


Yawn. Apparently nobody cares about oversight in DC anymore. Biden just pardoned his whole criminal family. That’s literally the worst case scenario for why we need oversight and you don’t care about that, so spare us the hysterics.


Tell me you know nothing about government oversight…but of course you are. You clearly have no idea how good governance works.

How do the children of these posters pass tests, get admitted to college, and find jobs? Or is this why MAGA wants to cull the federal work force? So they can DEI hire these non-serious people without a shred of critical thinking skills?
