[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a family member work in first Trump administration but is not returning due to J6. Person was in a non controversial position doing policies even Obama had wanted. Career staff was blatantly uncooperative and stalled projects.

I can’t wait for the end of the Deep State nonsense. Maybe this time around career staff will actually do their jobs. [/quote]

Once again for the people in the back, there is no Deep State. The first Trump administration was like this one, just much more subdued - a bunch of EOs of dubious legality and zero practicality that the career staff had no idea what to do with. Politicals who had no idea how the agencies and laws were set up and didn’t understand appropriations. No budgets passed. And the bureaucracy is designed on purpose to thwart the kind of thing that is going on now, but setting into law procedures and protections to ensure that someone doesn’t just come in and raid the treasury or some weird thing like that. [/quote]

Oh, like the student loan EOs of no legality that Biden then doubled down on and openly said he would push through just to see what he could get by with?  Both sides play this game, you just don’t like this one.  We’ve been there too and had to lump it, so do you.[/quote]

Not remotely similar. Biden tried to do what he wanted and stopped when a court told him he couldn’t. Then he tried again. And again stopped. Trump has given an unelected, unvetted billionaire who takes billions in government subsidies access to all of our sensitive systems and personal information. He has made our systems vulnerable to cyberattacks. He is allowing that person to cut things funded by congress. He hasn’t followed court orders to unfreeze grants.

While I probably wouldn’t agree with his choices, Trump is entitled to make cuts within his purview. But he isn’t entitled to disregard the constitution like he is a king or dictator. He needs to work through the intentionally slow process set up by the constitution. And it’s troubling that so many maga are so quick to give up on the constitution.[/quote]
