Federal Judge Blocks Trump's, Musk's Government Buyout Ultimatum.

[pknopp]

"The Defense Department and a few other agencies already could offer buyouts under existing law."

Seems judges so far don't realize that but all the same there is the difference in Clinton and Trump. Trump is unable to actually put in the work.

He seems to be working very hard at dismantling the deep state as we speak.

All well and fine but he can't just waive his hand and do it.

It's all the government employee unions filing the lawsuits.

Because they don't want to lose membership.

This case and others will end up in SCOTUS. Then we will see if we still have a Constitutional republic.

Temporary.

It’s illegal. The government is only funded until the first week in March. Trump cannot make financial commitments that have not been funded by Congress.

Furthermore, any employee who excepts the buyout, is required to sign a waiver, giving up all rights to sue the government. If they accept the buyout and the payments are declared illegal, or if Trump decides not to pay them they will be SOL

It’s illegal.

You don’t have a constitutional republic now because your president is ignoring it.

 

[Crepitus]

These trite piss ant obstructors should simply be ignored and let them try and run Trump down.

That's not the way it works here, kid.

You're welcome to go someplace where it is, though. Russia for instance? or Iran? I here Saudi Arabia is nice this time of year...

U.S. District Judge George O'Toole Jr. ruled Thursday that the administration cannot carry out its "so-called directive" until after a briefing and oral arguments take place, according to ABC News and POLITICO.

"I enjoined the defendants from taking any action to implement the so-called directive pending the completion of briefing and oral argument on the issues," said O'Toole. "I believe that's as far as I want to go today."

/----/ No one is surprised by this. What's wrong with a voluntary separation?

ooopsie, looks like deadbeat don won't pay up again ....

/---/ You do realize the president can grant anyone a security clearance, don't you?
And why do you think we need to continue paying people who are scamming taxpayer money?
Set up a GoFundMe page if you feel sooooooo bad for them.

Stop making excuses for what is doing or giving him a pass or claiming that everybody else did it because nobody else has ever attempted to do anything that Trump has done in the past two weeks.

Lol, you are the one making excuses. I condemn Trump's actions but you have to lash out because you can't condemn those who came before.

As I often note, anything you refuse to condemn your guy for will only get worse with the next.

Gee Biden tried to end student debt. Let’s end US foreign aid.

Biden tried to help the US economy so that young people can buy homes cars and start families instead of living in their parents basement paying their student loans. What an asshole!

Trump is going around tearing down all of the departments that can investigate him or charge him or his cronies with crimes, so that there’s no one left to prosecute him them when they commit crimes.

Turns out that USAID, was behind a large number of programs to end apartheid in South Africa. No wonder the South African Billionaires behind the Trump Administration want it gone. That’s in addition to investigating Musk’s Starlink contract with the Ukraine.

One of these things is not like the other.

Elon Musk has security clearance.

do you have a link to that? he may have clearnaces for space X ... but this is a whole other animal. seems donny's fembot press sec didn't know, & i can't seem to find whether he does. perhaps you can enlighten me.

Besides, the CCP and the dark web have just about everybody's SSN for some time now.

& that makes it ok, how? elon is a private citizen & so are his incels, one who just left his new gig because of online posts.

 

[playtime]

/---/ You do realize the president can grant anyone a security clearance, don't you?

i do know that. in fact, that's how donny's pantywaisted son in law jared got his. elon musk most certainly has not been vetted, nor his little league of incels as evidenced by big balls leaving the gig due to his social media posts that were outed. no one has been vetted b4 hand.

And why do you think we need to continue paying people who are scamming taxpayer money?

who said i do? but for fuck's sake, a ketamine induced african immigrant ain't the best choice to do the job.

Set up a GoFundMe page if you feel sooooooo bad for them.

oh just stfu.

 

[Meister]

no doubt those that take donny up on his deal are humpers. they believe they will get paid all the way thru. we'll see.

Not like the Feds haven't offered early outs before. Just remember, Senate-House-President are from 1 party.
