Even HUD is hyper-partisan now

[Marener]

Sorry, but that doesn't work when you work for government as a civil service employee. The whole point was to have a bunch of apolitical cogs executing the will of the elected President based on the laws passed by congress.

Your question is a strawman.

Has the Hatch act ever been successfully applied in the past decade or two?

Most federal employees can campaign for a candidate of their choice when they are on private time and acting as a private citizen. Sorry if that makes you mad, but its a free country.

You think that Trump can ignore the Hatch act and you think that they must do whatever the president tells them to do.

So can Trump order federal employees to campaign for him?

 

[postman]

You see this as a bad thing?

Absolutely.

Especially when what they put on the site is wrong

 

[Dorian Mode]

We can start with the Dept of Ed.

Ironically, if the democraps want to gain popularity they need to STFU in the schools. Nothing tells people "that's not me" more than these angry psychotic teachers.

 

[Missourian]

It takes a lot to shock me at this point, but this one came pretty close. HUD is the Department of Housing & Urban Development. HUD's current home page:

I know that MAGA will defend this because it speaks their language, but there was a time when federal departments stayed completely out of partisan politics. For obvious reasons. Now, it's just another partisan organization.

Our Founders warned against this kind of division, but We the People evidently just don't care about that any more.

The Democrats just refused to pass a clean CR and shut down the government and you're complaining about an ACCURATE message on a homepage???

Good grief.

 

[WEATHER53]

I honestly think that's one of the government's responsibilities, to let the people know who or what led to the shutdown. The Democrats are to blame here, and it doesn't really matter if it's "hyper-partisan" or not.

Truth telling To libs always draws name calling From libs

They have absolutely no idea what I'm saying in the OP.

This is completely normal for them. Happens all the time.

Your remarks about “they” and “them” - as if you are so above it all - just reeks of arrogance.

And really….someone like you who has been manipulated to think of Trump as the Devil incarnate is hardly one to make judgements of others.

 

[Billiejeens]

Bullshit, this is propaganda 101.

Propaganda- ideas that you loons dont agree with it.

It is just that simple

Because you are so brilliant
You know that.

LOL, like they care if it's private time or work time.

Ask me when he actually orders them to do it.

Oh, it's so so right.

All on Dems, none on us.

This is a CR, a "clean" CR, the ones Dems used to ***** for all the time.

He ordered someone to change the website and have this partisan messaging on government resources.

That’s okay with you.

Where are the limits?

That's the government's message, not the person typing it in. And right now the Government is Trump and those he has appointed.

Again, civil servants are supposed to be cogs, not policy drivers.

So if Trump decides the governments message is to promote Republicans in a partisan fashion, the cogs should just do that.

Right?

The website is telling people what Trump wants to tell them. He's the government.

Dems can end this simply by voting on the CR.

It's not promoting any single candidate; it's telling people what needs to happen.

He’s using government employees and government resources to attack Democrats.

How far are you willing to let him go with these efforts?

Politicians do that all the time, both sides, but it's only wrong when Trump does it, right?

Your example of Obama doing it wasn’t the government doing it.

Do you want to try again?

Every press conference is an example. The life of Julia is just an egregious cause of the government mommy and daddy all progressives want.

Evidently there's nothing unusual about an official government department website calling one of the two major parties "radical" on its front page and specifically blaming a partisan political issue on it.

Happens all the time. Totally normal. Biden and Obama did it eleventy thousand times.

I didn't know that! Okie dokie!
