Trump has set his sights on USAID because he knows it has no legal foundation to stand on. The Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (FAA) merely granted the President broad discretion to structure foreign aid programs as he saw fit. President John F. Kennedy exercised this discretion through Executive Order 10973, formally establishing USAID as an administrative agency under the State Department. The legal distinction here is crucial: Congress authorized the President to create an agency, but it did not mandate its creation by statute. USAID was established solely through an executive directive, making it purely an executive entity, subject to modification—or termination—at the discretion of the sitting President If you can read more than a paragraph before your attention span wanes, continue here

There are reports = Someone over at the dispensary told me this was true.

So True. I recall so many discussions with libs who were praising Musk as recently as '18 because he was saving the planet by lapping the field with electric vehicles, willing to fire up a blunt on a podcast (he is so hip!), was dating Grimey or Grimes or whatever her name was and rambling about Roko's basiliks (he is so rad!), and singing his praises as he impregnated her and opted to name the poor kid X Æ A-12. The hypocrisy is mind numbing.

have fun on bluesky. May want to purchase good quality ear protection, as echo chambers can be harmful to your hearing (hearing, hearing, hearing)

The oversight body you seek is in Congress, where oversight is vested per the Constitution. Article I, Section 8, Clause 18 https://oversight.house.gov/release/comer-oversight-committee-is-working-with-doge-to-improve-government-efficiency-eliminate-rampant-washington-waste/ Now you and F-Nord can proceed with your screeching that everyone in congress in an oversight role is a knob licker.

She'd started 2020 as the top non-Bernie candidate? Really? She had dropped out of the race on Dec 3, 2019 with virtually no support, even in her own party. She never once during her campaign polled in the top position, and at no point in any poll was higher than 8th or 9th, even when the poll choices were very limited early in the race. At various points during 2019, each of these individuals polled better than her amongst Democrat voters: Bernie Sanders Elizabeth Warren Joe Biden Pete Buttigieg Michael Bloomberg Julian Castro Andrew Yang Cory Booker Amy Klobuchar Beto O'Rourke Tulsi Gabbard Michael Bennet Tom Steyer John Delaney And during 2020, 3,979 delegates were awarded during Democratic Primaries to these 7 Candidates: Biden Sanders Warren Bloomberg Buttigieg Klobuchar Gabbard Kamala Harris received ZERO delegates.

Unelected - Musk has never lost an election. Many argue, including CNN hosts, that a material % of the electorate actually opted to vote for Trump because Elon began appearing with him on the campaign trail in '24 after the Trump assassination attempt. Unappointed - appointed Nov 15, 2024 while Trump was President-elect. Similar to how Biden appointed David Cameron and countless others of the Teamsters (who later refused to endorse him in his '24 campaign) while he was President-Elect. Unvetted - Musk and SpaceX received multiple clearances from NASA, the Pentagon and the FCC throughout 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 to launch 7,500 Starlink satellites which the Federal Government continues to rely on. Each of these clearances required multiple layers of vetting, in particular the Pentagon clearances. Unsupervised - House of Representatives Oversight Committee is supervising DOGE work efforts

CNN says that US AID was created by Congress. Facts say otherwise. The Secretary of State established USAID as directed by Executive Order 10973, signed by President John F Kennedy on November 3, 1961.

All those millionaire waiters who earnestly report all tips will be deca-millionaires in no time

Is that still a concern, I thought Joe fixed the cancer problem.

TDS kicking in. Making it too difficult for you to think clearly.

Except the most strategic spot on the globe for an air force/'naval/space force military outpost to protect vital interests such as: - Keeping the Suez canal open and available for international shipping, free from Huthi rebels, ISIS combatants, pirates and others - Monitoring Iran and other regimes hell bent on developing nuclear arsenals

Israel will. Turkey likely will. Others may fall in line. We will see.

100% true. They know nothing else as the males are taught this "death to Israel and the West" from the age of five. The females are not allowed to learn anything. They have no way of easily reversing the brainwashing, especially if they are left to their own devices in yet another "newly resettled Palestine". That generation can be resettled in Muslim countries and treated as wards of the state in some fashion. The next generation can grow up seeing there is a better way with significantly more influence from Judeo-Christian values and less Islamist hate baked into their impressionable minds. It does NOT have to be an exclusively USA led effort, either. Enlist those that claim they spend all their time spreading love and charity throughout the globe. All of the fired U.N. Workers will need a new mission. Let some of the Jesuits get in their and teach, etc.

Don't get lost on the "first announcement". Trump's team is already looking 3 to 4 moves down the chessboard. Expect something along these lines: "Oh, by the way, China, you want these tarriffs lifted, you will help fund the construction and rebuild, as well as staff an international security force in Gaza for the next 10 years, I'll await your answer". "Oh, by the way, NATO, you want us to continue to fund your organization to keep Russia from picking off your eastern flank one by one, each of your member states will contribute to the Gaza rebuild and your militaries will enforce security in that zone over the next decade". and so on. . . .

Pretty sure I know what they will be doing next week. Standing in line at the unemployment office.

Could be quite interesting. In FDR's fourth run, he won the electoral college count 432 to 99 Trump already has 3 consecutive elections with sufficient valid votes to win the electoral in each one. Could he surpass 432 in 2028?

Firing of the IG's may merely be "incremental progress" . . .

Critics and scholars. LMAO. Scholars like this and critics like this ?

Turns out firing those with high level oversight responsibilities that neglect, mis-use or abuse their position before irreversible collapse occurs is actually a good thing. The action below didn't happen until Feb 13, 2002. It was too late. Enron had already declared bankruptcy on Dec 2, 2001. Enron CEO Stephen Cooper said in brief statement that chief risk officer Rick Buy and chief accounting officer Rick Causey have been dismissed effective immediately What is the Inspector General's (IG) mission? Per the Inspector General Act of 1978, as amended, the Inspector General's mission is to: Conduct independent and objective audits, investigations and inspections Prevent and detect waste, fraud and abuse, Promote economy, effectiveness and efficiency, Review pending legislation and regulation, and Keep the agency head and Congress fully and currently informed.

OP should simply lobby his/her/xe congressman to partner up with Rep. Andy Ogles and slightly modify the proposed change to the 22nd amendment. Then you could get Barack Hussein to run alongside first lady Michelle and the other first lady Jen Anniston in '28 vs DJT/Melania. It would make for the ultimate showdown that leftists really want. Think of the TV opportunities . . . a proxy debate between Oprah vs Dr. Phil. Biden facing off against J D Vance on a special edition of Constitutional Jeopardy and so on.

Be careful and dress warm if you are headed to any of the cold weather playoff games. KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Some of the people who attended the record cold Chiefs vs Dolphins playoff game in January of '24 had to undergo amputations after suffering frostbite, a Missouri hospital said Friday. Research Medical Center didn't provide exact numbers but said in a statement that it treated dozens of people who had experienced frostbite during an 11-day cold snap last January. Twelve of those people -- including some who were at the Jan. 13 game -- had to undergo amputations involving mostly fingers and toes. The hospital said more surgeries are expected over the next two to four weeks as "injuries evolve." . . . a statement from Dr. Megan Garcia, medical director at the Grossman Burn Center, saying the center treated nearly 30 patients and several others in their outpatient clinic during the 11-day cold spell. "To date," the statement to the AP read, "12 patients have undergone amputation(s) surgeries primarily impacting fingers and toes. Some of these patients attended the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Miami Dolphins game on Jan. 13." https://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/43406126

When they are being paid $$ by NGO's to approach the border on inauguration day, in full view of CNN Camera's and hysterical activists masquerading as journalists, they take the $ and walk right up!
