Is there an end game to all the illegal firings?

[SweetSue92]

"As the only agency that regulates the president, Congress intentionally did not grant the president the power to fire FEC commissioners," wrote Trevor Potter, the founder and president of the CLC and a Republican former chair of the FEC. "Trump is free to nominate multiple new commissioners and to allow Congress to perform its constitutional role of advice and consent. It's contrary to law that he has instead opted to claim to 'fire' a single Democratic commissioner who has been an outspoken critic of the president's lawbreaking and of the FEC's failure to hold him accountable."

IF this is true, then won't you hate these rules when they're turned on you?

FEC commissioner can't be fired by anyone. GREAT! We'll get a bunch of crooks on and you will have to suck it up.

Your game.

Your rules.

You will HATE it

 

[SweetSue92]

"This is unprecedented. It wasn't contemplated. The statute has a clearly laid out task for replacing commissioners and this wasn't it," she told CBS News. "There has never been a firing. There is nothing in the statute, in the Federal Election Campaign act that authorizes a firing."

You are conflating being fired with being replaced according to the rules.

No I'm not. What I read said she can be fired but he needs to find a replacement.

A Purge By Another Name Is Still A Purge​

As we come to the end of the third century week of the second Trump presidency, I want to highlight a failure of language that is subverting the coverage of the lawlessness. It’s so pervasive that you may not have noticed it, and it may already have creeped into the conceptual framework you’re building in your own mind to help explain what is happening in Trump II.

It’s about the purges of civil service employees throughout the federal government.

There is really no such thing as unilateral mass “firings” or “layoffs” in the federal government, and yet most of the coverage headlines Trump’s purges using exactly those words. Unilateral is the key there. Congress can pass laws to cut funding, to eliminate positions, to zero out programs, but it hasn’t. The president is doing this on his own in contravention of the laws Congress has already passed to fund these positions and to give them civil service protections.

Calling them “firings” or “layoffs” when Congress hasn’t voted on them in any way shape or form isn’t just imprecise; it concedes way too much. It bestows a powerfulness and a decisiveness on Trump that he neither has nor deserves. It gives the purges a conclusory gloss of lawfulness when the lawlessness is the whole point.

“Firings” and “layoffs” belong to a different body of language. They’re imported from business and pasted haphazardly on what is going on here. You may have also seen “hostile takeover” imported from the business world. Likewise, the misnomer “buyout” has been used to describe the dubious effort to encourage government workers to retire immediately even though no business would recognize the offer terms as amounting to a buyout.

This Ain’t The Apprentice. Stop Calling Them Firings. They’re Purges.

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.

These dolts would rather the fatcat bureaucrats get theirs rather than receive SS.

I mean, how stupid do you have to be?

 

[Delldude]

Your numbers are highly suspect.

For instance there are currently just over seventy million on SS.

As the Bany Boomer wave crests, that number will increase… and then decrease

You missed that part

Think you mean decrease.

So will the contributions......to the degree of not being solvent.

That's YOUR opinion. Most Americans are really great with all this govt rot being cut.

Why do you LOVE it? Are you a bureaucrat?

 

[berg80]

IF this is true, then won't you hate these rules when they're turned on you?

The rules governing the replacement of FEC board members has not been a problem for 50 years. They wouldn't be a problem now if trump followed them.

 

[BluesLegend]

Trump can't fire my ass.

No need, you are irrelevant.

 

[mudwhistle]

Do you know how you assure yourself of a job?

Be a racist.

‘Grow up’: Vance, Khanna spar over rehiring DOGE staffer

Attend a diversity seminar? FIRED.

Post outright racist stuff? Well, we can't lose a guy over their beliefs.

Yahoo news. LOL



Nobody knows if this imaginary person even exists.

Why don't we try this.....stop falling for every hoax USAID money pays for and maybe you'll stay better informed.

All of these fake news sites are starting to shut down because they're running out of money.

They have to resort to planting fake stories in Yahoo.

Planted news stories that Democrats use for their smear campaigns.
