Voting for Trump doesn’t necessarily make you a bad person, but you have horrible judgment.
So much for protecting our nation’s intelligence officers, particularly those who were hired undercover.

Under what legal authority does DOGE have to cut off congressional approved funding?
Speaking of sunlight, the taxpayers purse has been handed over to Musk and his privately run team.
How do we know what he and his team are doing with the funds and the data?

Under what legal authority can an executive administration oppose the orders of an elected president
You are fighting democracy.
So a shadow executive branch can unilaterally shut off congressional approved funds?
Did you graduate from 8th grade Ned?
Even a President...and especially a President...is bound by the laws of this country. He's just
issued his 'orders'...he's about to face the actual laws he's trying to avoid. Those who abet him are also bound by those laws...this could be very interesting as the weeks and months unfold.
BTW, you are such a xenophobe.

Great argument against USAID.
I suspect the other bureaucracies will go down fighting as well. They shouldn't be able to fight for their own existence, and yet here we are, they are fighting the results of the election, and so are you.
Why do you hate democracy?
There are no “great” arguments to demolish USAID.
They control the entire government and budget and have personal data about millions of Americans?
Who knew? Again do better.
No. Why would you ask that question? Weird.
(no message)
No, what’s weird is you equating USAID with DOGE.
(no message)
They are different in 2 very important ways.
1) DOGE will only do what the elected president lets it do. USAID will do whatever it wants.
2) DOGE wants to save tax payer dollars. But USAID wants to set up a slush fund for your side to pay its cronies with US taxpayer dollars while promoting a wacko liberal agenda.
So, no, they are not equal.
One is good, and subservient to elected leaders. The other (USAID) is not.
You are of course correct.
Why would you ever respond to that TDS ridden whacko?
Good question.
(no message)
Untrue and you know it.
DOGE is not a constituted agency of the govt. USAID only spends money that has been duly authorized by Congress. Don’t like it. get Congress to change it or eliminate it. Or let an Un constituted so called advisory group just eliminate it illegally by autocratic edict of the executive because they will illegally do what you can’t get Congress legally to do.

Democrats Warn Trump’s Unelected Shadow Government Is Dismantling Their Unelected Shadow Government

Except the current government agencies have been set up according to our laws. Like DOE and USAID.

How are they doing that? And if they are we have laws on how to deal with it. Not whims and fiats
of an oligarchic narcissist who paid 290 billion to use them, and has billions in contracts of his own with the govt, some with agencies he’s DOGEing.
Someone had to step up and protect women. Trump just did. Good judgment.
Democrats say they are "at war" because of the dismantling of non-democratically accountable bureaucracy, while Trump protected women.
Ought not the President first protect the rule of law and US Constitution?
Trump has brazenly and openly violated the rule of law and US Constitution since his inauguration.
But, Ned gives him a free pass because Ned feels such commodities are for suckers and losers, correct?

Overturning Roe v. Wade doesn't protect women...just ask the leaders of Baron's OB/GYN specialty,
ACOG, representing 60,000 physicians, nurses and other health professionals in that field. As for Trans persons, they should still have existing mental and physical care options fully available to them...and when it comes to sports, more careful study and discussion can and should be taken regarding participation.
As expected...horrible judgement on DJT's part...and those who support him.

Matt Labash as usual has excellent insight.
And yet, even with all this tumult, comes the news that Trump, while still the most unpopular president ever, or at least since 1953 when such measures started being taken, has attained his highest favorability rating. Leaving me with some existential questions like: Who am I? Who are half these people I call countrymen? What alternative universe do they reside in, and is there any chance we could make them stay there, then build a wall and make the aliens pay for it? They often remind me of those stories we’d read during the worst of COVID, when patients who had been propagandized to within an inch of their lives after being told by their conspiracy-slingers of choice that it was all some giant hoax, would be in the ICU on respirators, their lungs failing, arguing with their doctors on their deathbeds that surely they don’t have COVID, since it doesn’t even exist.

You might have a point if it were a referendum. But it wasn't. Harris was the other option.
If it were Trump or not, you might have a point.
But, it was Trump or Harris, and the choice was very clear for people who don't want to encourage the mutilation of genitalia of children, imprisonment of conservative protestors while allowing liberal protesters to run amok, corrupting the justice and intelligence systems to go after political opponents, among other issues Harris was on the wrong side of.
Perhaps Harris was the right call for people driven by their emotions. But, Trump was the right call for people driven by their intellects.
You really believe that after watching what this clown has done and is doing in less than a
month? Sheesh. Like she would put some unelected billionaire oligarch goon who makes billions in taxpayer money, who gave the jackass 290 million bucks to worm his way in, and who is subject to no congressional oversight in charge of the agencies of the government. And also give said oligarch goon all of the employees personal information as well as letting him delete agencies that are the province of Congress? And give the oligarch goon all of the payment information for payroll of employees of the government?
Nothing he's done has changed that. I'll keep an open mind. Of course the election was last November
So far, so good, though.
Funny watching people get upset about Musk not being elected, when USAID is totally not responsive to democratically elected leaders. Decides its own spending...refuses to provide documents to Congress...totally unaccountable...until now. Finally it is accountable to democracy, and the Democrats and you go insane.
Keep supporting child genital mutilators. I will continue to oppose them.
USAID isn’t running the U.S Govt. Musk is. You really saying that what he’s doing hasn’t changed
things? This guy is a govt contractor who paid 290 million to your lord and master to get control of these things. You see no problems with that right?
But yeah, just think of all the “child mutilations” that he has stopped. How many actually last year that now can’t be done?
Obviously Musk is not running the country. Of course Trump is changing things. Duh. For the better
Nothing he has done has changed the good judgment that his voters showed last November.
