Better study up before you make a bigger ass out of yourself,

"On Friday night, President Trump removed at least 17 inspectors general, the executive branch watchdogs who conduct audits and investigations of executive branch actions. The removals are probably lawful even though Trump defied a 2022 law that required congressional notice of the terminations, which ...[text shortened]... utional."

Read the article. The premise is that what he did was legal because the AUTHOR believes the law is unconstitutional. That’s not how the law works. The law is the law until a court decides it’s not in effect or unconstitutional. Until then the Fuehrer broke the law. He can ask the court to declare the law unconstitutional at which point he can LEGALLY fire the IGs. Until then, no.

One: the ILLEGAL firing of ALL 11 inspectors general in all government offices.
The LAW for firing ONE inspectors general is to first give congress a THIRTY DAY notice and provide reasons for such firing.
Trumps reason: '' they don't line up with Trump POLICY''.
But IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT, firing ALL of them, NO notice to congress and NO reason other than that stated, first ...[text shortened]... there ANYONE on the right with ANY balls to push back against these obvious anti democracy agendas?

Actually he can’t. There are positions that are covered by laws like the IGs. There are civil service positions covered by the law. As President he can’t do what he wants as long as he follows the law. He can’t just make up things to do because he’s President.
actually he did

That’s the point. He did it illegally. Just because the Fuehrer says something doesn’t make it any truer or legal even if you want it to be.

No. Not legally.

I’m assuming by your response that you are okay with the Fuehrer doing anything he wants, legal or not.

Yeah, for a minute there I thought the dude was Keith Richards🙂 and of course voter suppression will never be proven, all legal and such.
Funny how the ultrarightwingnuts don't get any further than did we elect Trump POTUS? Yes? So he can do what he wants.
I said so voters voted him in to become a dictator and no answer to that but maybe a raspberry or two.....

This is what draining the swamp looks like.

Trump has full authority over IGs
A word for you to look up…PLENARY

Congress CANNOT constitutionally give itself powers over the executive branch.
So when fraud in government happens who will report those violations? You think some random whistleblower is going to find traction for ANY kind of fraud while your deity Trump is POTUS?
That is the whole POINT of firing all those IGs.
Trump wants NO oversight, those pesky bastards who can push behind the scene and uncover fraud. Trump HATES that kind of person with that kind of power.
I guess you forgot or never knew what Trumps very first action as POTUS the FIRST time, and that was an attempt to kill the ETHICS committee. Can't have that stinking ETHICS thing going on when I AM POTUS.
So now being even more radical than he was last time, this time he goes for the throat, get rid of ANYONE who can report fraud or waste.

Yeah, well, check out new thread, about press briefings, he is letting every denomination of the media, press, podcasters, the works, to break through the democracy veil!!!!!!!
If you mention dictator anymore, your cred will tumble. But I will click on your posts, I promise. But you gotta give’em some meat!

I tried to watch this lib video (is that you Sonhouse?) , but King….the hat!??!? I can’t seriously take in, or focus on any info from a guy who wears such a hat, what a queer looking man. His first two sentences were enough for me.
Don’t bother telling me what he said , I most surely do not care
