All I know is that I don't believe a word that the Dems or media says. I believe the opposite of whatever they say.
Didn’t hear your outrage when the Biden admin weaponized the DOJ?
Another very nice deflection. You don’t even need to bother answering my question as I already know the answer.
They were oppressed from across an ocean when it took a month to cross the ocean. We are seeing the start of dictatorship and oppression from inside, from inwards, by a crew that was elected but who are now breaking their promise to protect the country.
No. His stance is that he’s advocating a dual. Old kind style. May the winner win. While my shotgun skills are pretty good, my pistol shots aren’t worth a shit.
He’s saying he could kill you with a single shot. So you should listen to him.
Democracy under attack numnuts. All of this. You blow it all off. No big deal. Meh. Good little German soldier you are.
Yessir - should I salute?
Honestly I don’t believe so. I know from History books that FDR was very busy early on but it doesn’t compare IMO.
His kind of thinking really extend beyond that kind of personal experiences. Also. He’s never experienced a dictator personally.
No. I asked the first question. You first. You know what? Nvm. I know your answer as well. You clowns are such cowards.
I'm having a hard time sanitizing this by calling it an audit. But to your point, Pillen shifted all the HHS case workers to COVID tracing and then was shocked to learn that there was a huge spike in mistakes and fraud. Sometimes cheap aint cheap.
Oh yeah, add not believing Project 2025 was going to be implemented to your constant failed thinking. The Heritage Foundation loves people like you.
Did I say anything about dissolving? No. This is what I said below. You were incorrect in your statement, and I corrected you because precision matters.You're missing information relevant to the question. Established as an agency in 98
Can the President Dissolve USAID by Executive Order?
Congress established USAID in statute, and the president may not unilaterally override a statute by executive order.www.justsecurity.org
Can the President Dissolve USAID Without An Act of Congress?
No, not lawfully. In 1961, USAID was created by an E.O. issued by President John F. Kennedy (E.O. 10973), based in part on authority provided in the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. But a later act of Congress (The Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998, 22 U.S.C. 6501 et seq.) established USAID as its own agency. In a section titled “Status of AID” (22 U.S.C. 6563) it states:
The key language here is “there is within the Executive branch of Government [USAID]” (see sections 6562/6563). Those are the words Congress uses to establish an agency within the executive branch. It would take an act of Congress to reverse that – simply put, the president may not unilaterally override a statute by executive order.
"If you're referring to USAID, it wasn't created by Congress no matter how much you all want to point to the funding of it done by Congress that's not how it was created."
Trump folded it into the State Department, so no point was missed because you're point has no validity because no one dissolved it. Your point is moot. Move on.
Actually you didn’t ask me first. You asked another poster. So I asked you first.
So Go ahead. Do you think the DOJ was weaponized to any degree against Trump? I’ll give you an honest answer to your question to the other poster if you give me one.
I stated:
The executive branch has certain powers prescribed to them, it's a question of whether or not they're able to actually shutter a congressionally created and funded agency. (it doesn't seem they do)
Your response:
"If you're referring to USAID, it wasn't created by Congress no matter how much you all want to point to the funding of it done by Congress that's not how it was created."
I responded then with a link that showed that congress turned it into an agency in 98. So it seemed to exist as a congressional entity. That it was created through EO doesn't matter -- it's now a congressional entity.
Far too many Republicans are pissing themselves over a primary challenge inspired by Orange Jesus, or financed by Eloon.
Dems should be aiming all of their fire right now on House districts won by Trump that have historically been blue, and purple districts. Those are the reps whose feet are going to get uneasy first. Johnson won't risk primaries in vulnerable districts.
Bullshit. The “oppressed” aren’t oppressed at all. They’re just a bunch of spoiled brats who can’t take losing.
How are you still arguing? Then you make ANOTHER incorrect statement on top of it? Congress didn't create the agency. Period. The 1998 Act reorganized the ALREADY CREATED agency that was part of the state department, as a separate entity of the Executive Branch (not a congressional entity as you incorrectly state). Furthermore, your link is an OPINION PIECE of the writer who contends that the words "there is" makes dissolving without Congress illegal. She may be right, she may be wrong. No one dissolved it.
From the 1961 EO
"SEC. 102. Agency for International Development. (a) The Secretary shall establish an agency in the Department of State to be known as the Agency for International Development (hereafter in this Part referred to as the Agency)."
From Your Link
"Unless abolished pursuant to the reorganization plan submitted under section 6601 of this title, and except as provided in section 6562 of this title, there is within the Executive branch of Government the United States Agency for International Development as an entity described in section 104 of title 5. (emphasis added)"
You douche. I know exactly what your answer is regardless what I say. Get lost, traitor.
You don't see him firing the people in government who were in charge of investigations against him-FBI, DOJ, etc? WTF do you think Hitler started to do. Number one was sideline political enemies. The next thing he did was control the press. You don't remember his buzz phrase, "Fake news"? The press has already been neutered for various reasons but what stands for press these days (social media) is already in his pocket. Musk, Zuckerberg, etc were all there by his side in the inauguration.
Trump is soooo old. Hitler took power in his 40's.
Trump won't be around politics another 10 years.
I said I would answer honestly if you did. But I also know that you wouldn’t answer or if you did, you wouldn’t answer honestly. Very predictable once one resorts to low brow insults.
I see him firing a ton of government employees. I see him investigating the people that investigated him. I also feel like the DOJ WAS weaponized and an investigation is in order.
Blue sky. The truth is the truth.
This can't be serious thoughts in someone's head after what we just went through with Biden and what he did. No self reflection here.
"Audited every year," for what? Their books could be perfect, doesn't mean they're spending money wisely. This work is well overdue.
It's OK if they go too far to begin with, it'll be very short term pain for long term gain.
I do believe to some extent Trump is just the useful figure head. The forces behind project 2025 and the heritage foundation have been working towards this outcome for a long, long time.
I don’t necessarily think Trump is the architect of all of this. But it’s happening none the less.

My source claims it is 69, 000. Show your source or it never happened.
