@AverageJoe1 saidI was talking about HEGSETH not TRUMP. Try answering THAT question.
OK, I looked back and you asked if that was my idea of good governing. Yes, I think that Trump is a great governor. You also said something about Korea and I do not study enough on the forum to get into the nuts and bolts of country relationships.

What about my question.
Do you think it is a good thing the FBI deputy director has ZERO experience in the operation of the FBI AND is a former Fox talking head AND an ultrarightwing blogger.
Hegseth told the senators in his confirmation hearing he would hire the most qualified and experienced FBI employee within the ranks of the FBI.
Instead we get a conspiracy theorist ultrarightwingnut with ZERO experience with the FBI instead, just a buddy of Hegseth.
Again, is THIS good governing?
@sonhouse saidI have not read qualifications, I have no reason to as I am not voting. I did elect people to vote for me, the American way. A representative government. Get a grip. You need a frisbee. And a Border Collie. He will listen to everything you say.

I cannot imagine reading the qualifications. I think there are 22 people being voted on?? Jesus sonhouse. 22. What do you do when you have a candidate that you cannot possilby accept? Emails? Phone calls? Carry a sign on the Capitol steps? Whatever you do, is it satisfying? The main question...Does it change anything????
@AverageJoe1 saidDid you even get the bit where NEITHER of those asssholes have ANY FBI experience? What part of THAT do you not understand?

@sonhouse saidSonhouse says that the people who were chosen by our elected representatives have no experience, yet they were approved. A real brainteaser. I can only think that they DID have some experience,,,,,,I know Bongino, and trust me, he knows the FBI inside and out, may have been a better choice instead of Patel.

But that's just old AvJoe chiming in.
No qualifications, Shouse? A bit of a stretch, don't you think? Watch those creds.
@AverageJoe1 saidYou really think a political decision to pass those idiots through means they were QUALIFIED? And you claim to have a lawyers license?

Did you really think we would let THAT dodo sentence slide?
You spout of BULL S H I T without even looking at the creds of those jerks.
And I bet you don't know who actually issued the orders to fire a fuuking FOUR STAR GENERAL who is CHAIRMAN of the joint chief of staff.
Just HAPPENED to be black and just oh so coincidentally replace by a junior rank THREE star who has ZERO experience in the top job but of course you can be sure he signed the I Kissed the Trump ring NDA.
Even worse is the firing of all the JAG lawyers, who oversea the actions of the brass.
They advise the top brass what is ethical, what is legal, what is illegal in the military.
Now just so coincidentally there is NOBODY to tell the idiots who are actually in charge now OOPS, better not do THAT, it is against the law AND against the constitution, siting a hypothetical violation that JAG could have advised against so now they can do whatever the fuuk Trump wants.
Trump goes, send ten thousand troops to Greenland, I want that island TOMORROW.
And OF COURSE nobody to advise it just MIGHT be against international law so off they go on a highly illegal operation. Hypothetically speaking.
The fact Trump fired something like TWENTY INSPECTER GENERALS is a clear sign he want's NO oversight, so he can do whatever the hell he wants just like he said about Putin, HEY RUSSIA, you can do whatever the HELL you want.
Giving himself permission to illegal BS himself.
Like the Quantanamo debacle, now the weakness of Trump is showing yet again, the Q operation is off, really bad conditions that WOULD have been reported by press AND some of those WORSE OF THE WORSE had ZERO criminal record.
So another dodo project retracted just like the retraction of the 8 BILLION dollar claim of savings by DOGE, it was really 8 MILLION and yes there is confirmation on both those issues, look them up yourself.

And it seems you think that our leaders put people without qualifications in high positions of the government?
Never mind, don't answer these questions!!
@AverageJoe1 saidYeah, it takes a fuuking ROCKET scientist to see grift when it appears,

And OF COURSE Musk would NEVER use the financial data absconded to analyze such things as what his competitors are doing with their money, what deals they are making, all of that in the financial data but of course Musk is SO altruistic he would NEVER stoop to that kind of thing now would he?

@sonhouse saidExactly. It's overkill. We know waste and fraud is there, we know where to look. Joe even shared the chart. They are pretending they need to reinvent the wheel and gain access to private data, and then even when they get access they don't find anything. It feels like a bank heist.

@AverageJoe1 saidTrump IS the despot. He LOVES ALL the dictators, North Korea, Russia, China, Hungary, he WORSHIPS them, wants to BE one. When he DOES take over you wlll say WELL DONE MY LORD.

As the old adage goes, if you want to know what government is up to look at the spending.
The charade of Trump and Elon has not saved the government any money. None at all. In fact, spending to date is increased compared to the same time frame of the Biden administration last year. Smoke and mirrors, as always.
".... hundreds of contracts DOGE claimed to cancel were actually already finished, resulting in absolutely zero savings. . "
Probably Foxnews isn't reporting this?

@AverageJoe1 saidYou posted the link.
""This article says that USAID spending is not a large source of waste.""
uhhh
well any way, thie wildgrass poster said exactly that. The libs are SO uncomfortabel withe Musk and Trump success.
Do you read your own linked articles?
Apparently not.
@AverageJoe1 saidBecause you're not interested in the truth?
You know a lot of stuff. You say you are a tech whiz, do you have bugs secreted here and there in the halls of Congress.?

Do you wonder why we call it a clown show?
Look at who's involved.
Liars and grifters.
Almost no one on Trump's list has experience in the jobs they have been headhunted for. You cannot deny this.
