They still see value in defying him outright. The reason becomes irrelevant, its more about the act.

It will not matter what he does. That is the thing. Given that fact, he should just do what he wants and fock them....right? I mean, if no matter what he does.....they will find a problem with it, then why consider them at all?

Yep, as he is allowed to do. They can still be part of most of it, along with the rest, there are some instances where they will not be invited....I did not complain when Biden did it, and I wont complain now.

Indeed. I feel as though the media has been rather well engaged as it pertains to corruption on the right.....less so as it pertains to the left..... I might add, this creates by extension another problem.....the maneuver by the media to be effective in covering conservatives actually tends to make them stronger.....and then to be less critical of those on the left, ultimately weakens them. JMHO

If you are a Democrat then you will want your ideological folks to not be held to account.

Fine by me, I hold all media as equal in this.....with the lone nuance being that at least Fox has admitted its opinion journalism, while the rest keep pretending they are not....unless they sued... So yes, all media, as I have repeatedly stated.

Redact the names if they want, I do not care, but if those on that list can be proven to have participated.....jail....period....end of story,.

I worked closely.....with DOT.....now FAA is semi-autonomous....and not like a "line of business" as the other elements are. BUT.....there is one word that defines DOT....immaturity. Immaturity of process, tools and people. As an agency, they are among the worst I have been asked to fix.

Yes, even you my friend. Eventually.....your ideological masters will lie enough, harm enough.....and perhaps be exposed for their corruption enough......that you will have enough, and no longer blindly obey.

Agree. Now, they are in the fold, I mean, I love it that Democrats have a role and voice in this administration.

If I may, no...that is not who you should want to be. Your move and behavior here, on this, is perverse.

You may be correct. But I want to believe that everyone can be saved. Hell, Tulsi Gabbard and RFK jr are in a Republican cabinet dude....I mean, that is unreal.....

Here is that rare moment, you and I should savor. This situation has the political context whereby you see a problem, as do I. So here we are, once again in concurrence. Later it might arise that this is instead associated with a Democrat, and we will once again disagree....but for now....lets enjoy this.

I think we need to have compassion. We should see them not unlike someone who is controlled by a cult. We should empathize that they are unable to escape what holds them. Though, recently, some have.....

Not the worst abuse of government systems I have seen

For the same reason I would speak with Joy Reid or some other racist. No one is beyond help. I think people who think as he does have been indoctrinated and manipulated by a system that wants to exploit him for power. Would we give up on someone being controlled by a cult? That is what liberals are after all....

Ok with what?

The quality of a "whistleblower" is often the value of their accusations politically..... you should not expect liberals to support ones that call out liberal malfeasance any more than conservatives trust those who call them out. That being said, it sure seems like the part of law and order....and the constitution....loses that stance once their weaponization of accusations is pointed back at them

Correct. My question is.....if the program was not generating flow at $1million....why would it generate flow at $5million; unless they sweeten the deal with other stuff?

They are not sidelined. They are still able to do most of what they always have.

I did like Hackman......

Let's wait for legacy media and their Democrat masters to tell us how this is Trump's fault....

Consider....your first move is not thinking about the kids....nor even assailing anyone on the list....your first move.....is "Republicans will cheat"....think about that.....is that who you want to be??

Yes, but that war is coming to an end....no more vilification of parents, those of faith...no more insane fomenting of inflation....none of it....its all ending.

Absolutely, a position I have held for all media....and maintain to this day. The media is creating terrible divides in this nation with their political pandering.
