Is there an end game to all the illegal firings?

[davebb]

It’s illegal.

You're illegal.

 

[davebb]

So.........no regard for the law?

You want to do crime, that's up to you.

It's about damn time.
Most common sense Americans think he should go MUCH further and not be so kind in undoing the damage the Left has done to America.
You people are a plague and curse upon mankind.

What's the damage, that requires this lawlessness of his, at the FEC?

y'all seem completely brain dead, void of thought or reason....please prove me wrong and give your reasoning! Elon Trump (Simon Says) doesn't count!

Much farther than breaking the law? The FEC was established 50 years ago as a non-partisan agency tasked with keeping track of campaign contributions. What's the problem?

 

[davebb]

Some of these govt workers are rooted in there like ticks.

With looks to match.

 

[JGalt]

No, it's their racism that they finally feel free to run with.

What "racism"? She's white, monkeyboy.

There's no such thing as "non-partisan."

The way to keep your job is to be an avowed racist and be willing to defend it.

 

[Lesh]

No its not. I saw several govt workers get canned and lost on appeals. Ultimately, they will lose.

It’s illegal

 

[berg80]

And rules have been made, and Trump ignores them. The courts will follow the rules.

Will they? trump judges have no problem with ignoring precedent and the law. Look at Eileen Cannon. Or the conservatives on trump's SC. That make it up as they go.

 

[JGalt]

"Non-partisan" only means the Democrats found some Trump-haters to join up with them.

You're illegal.

Firing of the chair of the NLRB was illegal too.

Maybe, but there are not just Trump judges out there. And the Supreme Court, are they willing to go against the Constitution?

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?

Is she in a union or something? How is firing her illegal?

 

[berg80]

Maybe, but there are not just Trump judges out there. And the Supreme Court, are they willing to go against the Constitution?

They already have. There is no constitutional justification for making the prez immune from prosecution. The conservatives just made it up.

 

[berg80]

Is she in a union or something? How is firing her illegal?

By virtue of the act establishing the FEC and the rules it established for replacing a board member.

Consider the above chart.
Ok....we have roughly 57 million Citizens eligible for Social Security. By 2050 its expected to grow to 80 million.
Meaning $24k+ per retiree will literally bankrupt the USA. (Baby Boomers)

We need to be extremely careful and efficient with Government spending to survive as a nation as well as pay what was promised.

The massive firings of non-essential Government employees is an expected part of that process in order to pay both the huge increases in interest expenses and Medicare/Medicaid costs.

Things like USAID and the obvious money laundering and grants to politicians and their family members needs to absolutely stop.
