"Flooding the Zone"

[rightwinger]

And always it seems corrected later in the direction that makes it worse for Democrats.

Actual numbers don’t support that
Sometimes up and sometimes down

Same for Trump

 

[rightwinger]

The Resistance begs to differ.

Insubordination is a fireable offense
Reporting what Trump says or does is not

 

[Lastamender]

The Constitution’s framers were obsessed with the quality of American public officials. Thomas Jefferson extolled "a natural aristocracy among men[,] the grounds of [which] are virtue [and] talents. … [T]he natural aristocracy I consider as the most precious gift of nature, for the instruction, the trusts, and government of society." He argued, "[M]ay we not even say that that form of government is the best which provides the most effectually for a pure selection of these natural aristo[crats] into the offices of government?" Similarly, in the Federalist Papers, Alexander Hamilton recognized that personnel is policy, predicting that "judicious choice of men for filling the offices of the Union" would determine the "character of its administration," while John Jay predicted that “when once an efficient national government is established, the best men in the country will not only consent to serve, but also will generally be appointed to manage it.”

trump is obsessed with nominating loyal hacks, not qualified public servants.

What and who served under Biden but hacks and loyalists? Do you know what happened the last four years? Nobody is or is going to forget the lawfare and the dual justice system that saw dissenters punished without due process and no regard for the rule of law, Memory holing seems to work for assholes. You are just one of them.

Many on this board think that when the rights of others are taken away, that the spoils will shift down and cover them.
The actual facts are that the TAX cuts will hurt all Working folks. RETIRIES CHILDERN those with Disability's
Clinics & hospitals in RURAL areas will close.
Close to half the tax cuts will go to the wealthiest .

Those who held their nose and voted for him because the price of eggs was too high -- and that's not a small number of people -- may end up having to look in the mirror.

Check you facts, and curb your feelz,

Smarter thing to do, Look at All sides of a situation.
We can lean strongly in either political direction.
Yet MUST stay keenly aware of what BETTER serves WORKING & RETIRED WORKING PEOPLE.

 

[Meathead]

You're wrong, the FBI is not beholden to the President, but they are now. They will not investigate crimes of anyone close to Trump.

Lawfare?

 

[struth]

No they don't. There were just as many revisions when Trump was in office. And mostly, they were bad news for Trump. Trump is so thin skinned that he thinks every piece of bad news is put out just to denigrate HIM.

Job-creation numbers hit Trump as he campaigns on economy

New numbers show job creation, GDP and consumer sentiment are lower than previously estimated.

Trump Calls a Routine Revision of Job Numbers a 'Lie' - FactCheck.org

Each year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics revises its monthly employment figures, which come from a survey of employers, based on more comprehensive data it obtains later from state filings. But former President Donald Trump called this year's revision a "total lie," baselessly claiming that...

Bad shit happens, and it happens a LOT when Trump is in charge.

Nothing wrong with minor routine revisions

The problem was the xiden admin just blantantly lied and gave false numbers that needed massive changes to reflect the reality of his failed employment numbers

I'll take the side that isn't contaminated with Marxist Leninist ideology.
Thanks.

Since unemployment was low, inflation was low, GDP was growing, I’m not sure anyone needed to do anything except not screw it up.

But Trump promised much more, didn’t he?

UE was on the rise, trump will have to reverse that. While the inflation rate had calmed down since the gop took the house it’s not as low as it should be…Trump is working on that as well

He’s also fixing the broken xiden border

Xiden and the dems left a massive mess, not just here but around the world

Federal employees take an oath to the Constitution, not to a President.

If they are convinced that an order -- even from a President -- is unconstitutional, they might choose to refuse it.

If they refuse it in error, it will be at their legal peril, and they will pay the legal price after due process.

That's how it works, Trumpsters. Your God King™ is not above our Constitution. Their Oath is to IT, not HIM.

And you know it. Or maybe you don't. Maybe you're just flagrantly ignorant. I really don't know any more.

The oath of office and what it means

Why do public servants take an oath of office? The reason is simple – public servants are just that – servants of the people.

federalnewsnetwork.com

"One thing that federal workers often hear is a career supervisor or political appointee talking about loyalty to the agency or the boss. One purpose of the Oath of Office is to remind federal workers that they do not swear allegiance to a supervisor, an agency, a political appointee, or even to the President. The oath is to support and defend the U.S. Constitution and faithfully execute your duties. The intent is to protect the public from a government that might fall victim to political whims and to provide a North Star – the Constitution – as a source of direction."

And the Constitution vest all executive power in a president

but you are right about illegal orders this is why xiden had to give out so many blanket pardons to his admin, family and friends on the hill

Trump’s ‘Flood the Zone’ Strategy Leaves Opponents Gasping in Outrage​

So what?

 

[sartre play]

WE are retired working folks.
We are not rich but comfortable.
food prices are a bummer,
Gas prices Always flex.
What has happened with the price of housing? (an American dream)
We have felt secure because we own. NOW
PROPERTY tax up... INSURENCE up.. UTILITYS up
cost of everything UP. MEDICAL cost up but services down.
MANY of the purposed cuts are to programs that help working people acquire a road to their dreams.
What is the answer?
What happened? why is Working middle class life not good enough?

You would be right except for the fact that revenues to the federal government rise when taxes are cut.

 

[Marener]

The thing is the revisions always seem to help democrats hide bad news.

You only hear about downward revisions. It’s called reporting bias.

So easily manipulated.

Please name some of those programs that will be cut. An opinion piece from the NYT is not proof.

The voices they trust have convinced them that wealth equals contentment, when that is demonstrably untrue. Heck, even the Bible they claim to follow tells them that. They've sold their soul to a billionaire who is so miserable in his own skin that he is constantly, 24/7/365, patting himself on the back and craving more adulation.

Trump knows to keep them aggrieved, miserable and jealous, and in conflict with anyone who doesn't fall for that lie.

It's worked like a charm.

That's the problem, There are so many proposals
And no clear view on the end results,& how they will effect the Working class.
Sorry it may be rude but I REALLY do not care about those who so rich
they can just move some where else if things are not working out for them.
Sorry We live in the mid west, & don't read the NYT.

So that’s a no. You have no proof Trump wants to gut SS. Carry on with your hysterical rant.

 

[Nostra]

Employment numbers are always corrected
It has always been that way

Under Tater they were ALWAYS revised down, bigly.

 

[Nostra]

I surely don't know how this turns out, but when services start being removed, we'll see what some lower income people who voted for Trump think about it.

Because it's coming.

You Dimwingers have a horrible track record regarding predictions.
