Is there an end game to all the illegal firings?

How does that delusional opinion piece in Musk from well after the election show Trump ran on fascism, Dumbass?

Major fail!

It shows my point.

You obviously didn't read it

No, it doesn’t.

Post a fascist policy Trump has in his platform.

Betcha can’t.

Ocare was a failure. The only good thing about ocare is that the penalty tax is gone.

I wanted it overturned. Trump's mouth stopped that from happening and he moved on because it would have taken actual work from there.

Is there an end game to all the illegal firings?​

The idiotic thread headline ^ would require that there had been any “illegal” firings.

There haven’t been any.

Here's another to add to the growing list.

Democratic FEC Chair Ellen Weintraub says Trump fired her. She says it's not legal.​

Ellen Weintraub, the current Federal Election Commission Chair and one of three Democratic members on the committee, posted a letter on X Thursday night from President Trump that says she has been removed as an FEC member.

The brief letter, dated January 31, 2025, reads, "You are hereby removed as a Member of the Federal Election Commission."

On Thursday night, Weintraub alleged her firing was not legal.

"There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it," she wrote in her social media post. "I've been lucky to serve the American people & stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon."

Democratic FEC Chair Ellen Weintraub says Trump fired her. She says it's not legal.

Weintraub, one of three Democratic members on the Federal Election Commission, posted a letter from Trump terminating her.

I just watched her be interviewed about the "firing." She notes the legal way to remove a FEC board member is to replace him or her after their term has expired. In its 50 year history no prez has tried to illegally fired a board member as trump has.

Weintraub's is not the only example of a government official being illegally fired. The list is actually quite long. In most instances they aren't really close calls. The legislative acts creating the agencies established the ways in which members cab be removed. trump is not following those procedures.

So, the end game is..........? I would say trump is attempting to take over all government functions by installing loyalists in all the key positions, while removing anyone who might object to his agenda. The FEC is primarily the agency monitoring campaign contributions. The motivation for having friendly board members seems clear enough. Its mandate calls for the 6 member board to have 3 Repubs and 3 Dems with a D and R rotating as chairman each year. It's designed to be apolitical and therefore is antithetical to Don's desire to politicize everything. Should he get away with it just because he won an election

Cleaning the swamp.

In the MSM;s heads there have.

We should cut the budget by cutting all the benefits the politicians in Washington get, but I bet they ask for more not less, even the MAGATs.

That's coming soon....

So Biden, 0bama, etc, can hire loyalists in key positions, but Trump is required to keep Democrats on?

There was no Muslim travel ban, liar.

 

[Nostra]

the racist Muslim travel ban for starters.

So it is fascist to ban travel from a handful of countries that harbor, train and fund terrorists?

I don’t think fascist means what you think it means.

Oh, and only one country on the banned list makes the Top 10 countries with the most Muslims. Looks like your “Muslim ban” talking point bullshit just got shoved up your ass.

Muslim isn’t a race, you blithering moron.

Holy shit you are stupid.

Will that $ go back into medicare and Medicaid or will it disappear into the hands of a few?

Medicare/Medicaid and Social Security benefits are the Largest line items in the Federal Budget. EVERYTHING else are small potatoes by comparison....always have been.

And Social Security has NOT kept pace with inflation. EVERY year the benefit shrinks by 2-4% as inflation doesn't go away with fiat monetary systems.

Consider that the average payout was only half the current size in the early 70's. Meaning that recipients got $12,000/yr then when retirement was allowed at 55. So only a 100% increase in 50 years? Pretty pathetic IMHO. If it was the worst performing mutual fund available we would have, at a minimum, 500% more $$ in payment every month than SS is providing. Just an S&P 500 index fund would have done many times over that 5X. Most retirees would be millionaires with $60-70K annual incomes.

As it currently stands....our government has an over-the-top spending problem with all the extra spending.

330 million Citizens with 57 million retired. Soon to be 80.

We need people to make FAMILIES great again with CHILDREN. Not a bunch of transgendered, homosexual idiots that can't tell you the last time they had actual intercourse with anyone but they are proud of whatever gender they profess of they/them.
