When we say trump is stifling dissent, this is what we mean.

[Marener]

They aren't doing that. They are complacent when Dems are in power, and then become all about resistance when Republicans are in power.

Get rid of it and go back to the spoils system.

They are only the resistance with Trump because he wants them to do things that corrupt, politicize and degrade the functions of government.

What was political about their letter?

FEMA fires employee who told workers to avoid homes with Trump signs after hurricane

A Federal Emergency Management Agency worker has been fired after she directed workers helping hurricane survivors not to go to homes with yard signs supporting President-elect Donald Trump, the agency's leader said in a statement Saturday.

www.pbs.org

One supervisor told her charges to do that. She was fired and no one with a Trump sign in the yard was denied assistance.

It's not unusual for trumples to broad brush the admin, or all Dem's, for the actions of one person.

Government is not a private enterprise. DHS employees are charged with keeping the country safe. If the discharge of their duties means being critical of Dotard's decisions it is their right and their obligation to let the public know he is making the country less safe.

Apply the same standards to ICE. Nevermind. I know you won’t.

No, they don't agree with the Policy, so they make up shit like you do about corruption.

Everything was political about the letter. They need to be fired. **** them.

And also, **** you.

Do you not understand how employment works? Can't help you if your knowledge base is that so lacking.

So you have nothing. BTW, it's the regime that is breaking the law.

2) We oppose the ongoing failure to appoint a qualified FEMA administrator, as required by law.

Since January 2025, there have now been two individuals placed in charge of FEMA who lack proper qualifications and the authority to lead this agency. Hurricane season has begun, yet FEMA continues to lack an appointed Administrator with the mandated qualifications to fulfill this role.

The dangers of unqualified leadership were a significant lesson learned from Hurricane Katrina. PKEMRA §503 (6 USC §313) requires that: “The Administrator shall be appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. The Administrator shall be appointed from among individuals who have a demonstrated ability in and knowledge of emergency management and homeland security; and not less than 5 years of executive leadership and management experience in the public or private sector.”

I bet you do.

Of course you don't.

When Trump and his cult were blaming Democrats for being child molesters, Trump and his cult wouldn't shut up.

Now they find out their dear leader is one, it's..........."Move along, nothing to see here".

What we have seen on what Progressive aligned people have done to Republican voters the last 17 years is reality.

 

[SeaMajor7]

The **** they are. Trump is the corruption and politicization of the state. There's no doubt about that anymore, but you ******* love it.

Are you posting from a DDI facility?

You ever notice how you just say shit without backing it up.

That's because you're just making it up to feel better.

Trump really does own you.

They don't agree with the policy because they think it'll harm Americans. You want them to keep silent about that? You think we shouldn't know what's going on in our government?

 

[berg80]

I listen to a WIDE variety of conservative media every single day, all day long. I dont hear ANYONE talking about Epstein. I know that bums you out, but its the truth.

IOW, the diversions worked.

They don't get to decide policy, the elected President does that.

 

[Meathead]

Those people work for we the people, not trump. You folks seem to forget that essential fact. trump is not the government. He is a temporary steward of the office of POTUS who will be gone soon.................though admittedly not soon enough.

No, they work for Trump and Trump works for us. That's how the executive and the federal governments work.

I know liberals don't lie. North Carolina didn't get the help it needed. If it wasn't for locals helping out. It would've been a lot worse.

Example--

I live a mile down a private dirt road. I have maybe a dozen neighbors that also live this far out. That road is the only way out and a huge section of it washed away. No way out. The very next day the Forestry Service bought in a temporary bridge, it was so cool. Everyone moved their cars to the top of the road. Then the local volunteer fire department built a walking bridge across the gap with donated lumber from Lowe's Hardware.

Sure, it kind of sucked, having to walk a mile each way to get to your car. But in less than two weeks, with FEMA grants and local donations, a new culvert was installed, gravel was laid down through a huge portion of that dirt road, and it was better than before. It was a government response, a community response, and volunteers all working together that made that happen.

Corrupt was when Trump asked the DoJ to say the election was corrupt.

Illegal includes telling ICE to deport people based on the Alien Enemies Act. Most of the illegal things he's told people to do were never done.

We could come up with lots of examples.

They didn't decide policy, they're just telling Americans what that policy means. You don't want us to know. Why's that?

This is about FEMA.

And what was illegal about Trump using the AEA?

Looks good to me.

 

[Meathead]

Aren't you folks all in a tizzy over Dem's remaining silent over Biden showing his age? Haven't you asked why they didn't speak up?

If someone in the Biden admin had gone public with concerns over his mental acuity.........

No one did. That's the point.

 

[Marener]

Using the AEA is illegal because we are not at war with Venezuela, which is a requirement of the law.

Why are you so upset that Americans get to hear from the civil servants about the policies of this administration and the potential ramifications?

 

[Kondor3]

Being in Federal -level civil service is a lot like being in the US military in some ways...

One of those ways is that when you have a complaint or need to blow a whistle you need to do it within proper channels...

Fail to properly "color inside the lines" and you can get *****-slapped for it...

Like the military itself...

US Federal civil service is designed to SUPPORT democracy, but it is NOT a democracy ITSELF...

And FEMA is part of the Executive Branch of the US Government, with the President as their ultimate boss...

Pi$$ off the boss and you may very well bring trouble down upon your head...

It's the same in the private sector, so, spun from that angle, none of this should really come as any surprise...

As far as whistle-blowing directly to Congress is concerned... that's for specific reasons... not disagreement with policy...

I will be curious to see how this one plays out.

War isn't required. read the actual law.

They are supposed to be apolitical policy implementers, not people who decide policy. **** them.
