"Flooding the Zone"

[The Duke]

There is no executive agency independence in the Constitution, all are responsible to the elected executive.

Serve at the pleasure of the president.
^Learn that. Know it. Love it.
Like with the FBI, they're going to try to keep the good and do away with the crap.
Yeah, Trump's on it!

Restoring Accountability for Career Senior Executives – The White House

January 20, 2025 MEMORANDUM FOR THE HEADS OF EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES SUBJECT: Restoring

www.whitehouse.gov

From Day 1!

 

[Mac-7]

Serve at the pleasure of the president.
^Learn that. Know it. Love it.

Libs are making up the rules as they go along

 

[martybegan]

Libs are making us the rules as they go along

And the problem is we let them, or at least the National Republican Party let them.

One of the many problems with hyperpartisanship is that everything becomes a zero-sum game.

So if things are not tangibly "better" in two years -- especially inflation and home prices -- all the blame goes to the GQP and suddenly the Dems can say it was all a failure. That gives them an excuse to stall everything Trump wants and to push everything in the other direction.

Since we're no longer capable of collaboration and innovation, only half the country has skin in the game at any one time. The other half wants it to fail. We don't fucking learn.

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.

 

[martybegan]

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.

So what elected position gives them their authority?

They are part of the executive Branch, the President is the source of all authority in the executive branch, as the elected person for the branch.

Are you saying the FBI is not beholden to the people via their elected officeholder responsible for said branch?

Mac1958 has me on ignore so this a general comment to anyone thats interested

Mac1958 has dedicated his life since 2016 to the defeat of trump

So when he speaks of bullheaded partisan obstruction he knows what he’s talking about

Although in his case it doesnt hurt that he’s a biden voter who is naturally for the far left agenda

Otherwise this would be an excellent time for members of the Superior Class to reach out to trump on issues they can agree on

 

[Marener]

This will bring prices down.

That and the cutting of government bloat.

There’s that gas lighting.

 

[MarcATL]

Harder to shill for the dems now is it?

Republican bootlick post right here folks.

 

[martybegan]

There’s that gas lighting.

It's my opinion, and time will tell if it is correct or not.

 

[The Duke]

Republican bootlick post right here folks.

Mac1958 is a Democrat shill.
100% Orange Man Bad for years.
Cult, blah blah blah. I'm not dumb, I'm smaht. MacFredo.
Golfing Gator was of the same ilk, but he's gone now. Funding cut, maybe?

 

[Marener]

It's my opinion, and time will tell if it is correct or not.

Is it going to bring prices down in 2 years or when midterms come are you going to say “it hasn’t had enough time to work yet”?

 

[martybegan]

Is it going to bring prices down in 2 years or when midterms come are you going to say “it hasn’t had enough time to work yet”?

Doesn't matter what I say, if he doesn't deliver, he will get creamed in the midterms and you clowns can start proposing your lefty commie bullshit in congress.

Have you ever heard of the expression "justice is blind"?

Probably not.

I also don't think you understand how the law works.

What do you understand?

 

[martybegan]

Have you ever heard of the expression "justice is blind"?

Probably not.

The FBI isn't the judiciary.

Neither is the Department of Justice.

That statement applies to the courts.

Again, if the FBI isn't beholden to the President, who are they beholden to?

 

[Mac1958]

Again, if the FBI isn't beholden to the President, who are they beholden to?

The Constitution.

My goodness.

I can't believe I had to say that.

 

[martybegan]

The Constitution.

My goodness.

I can't believe I had to say that.

And the Constitution vests all power for the executive in the hands of the ELECTED President.

I can't believe you didn't actually know that.

So the FBI gets to decide policy above and beyond the person elected to do so?

You're welcome.

You have some deluded vision that the Emperor has a Praetorian Guard.

This has obviously been a dizzying few days since the Inauguration, with too many actions and orders and proclamations to mention. The incoming team was clearly pretty freakin' busy once victory was secured and preparations were being made to get (back) in. I don't think the country (planet?) has ever seen anything like this.

My guess is that, in addition to "flooding the zone" so that keeping up with and/or opposing any individual thing is pretty much a waste of effort, this administration figures it has to muddle through all of this (getting past teriffs, installing loyalists throughout the government, and making all the other myriad changes) and show actual tangible results before the mid-term elections. Clear outcomes to which they can point to make the chaos worth it. This kind of complete overhaul of, um, everything isn't going to show results, one way or the other, for a while.

Thoughts?

Trump Floods The Zone, Leaving Opposition Drowning

Donald Trump's opponents have spent the days since his inauguration playing political whack-a-mole over a torrent of orders specifically calibrated to overwhelm and bewilder, say analysts, as the new president gets to work on his radical policy agenda.

Great minds think alike.

Flooding the zone.

The High Price Of Kakistocracy As we inch toward the holidays and the news slows, I wanted to step back and offer a bit more context on the slew of absurdist Trump nominations. The sheer number of unqualified miscreants that Trump has chosen to cast for his second season is overwhelming to the...
