@DeptofDefense @SecDef Banks, insurance companies, oil companies, and any corporation subsidized/contracted by the government must provide America 5 bullet points of what they did last week
@tony_vandongen@Politics_PR@DataRepublican I come in peace. I’m curious your interest and ability in following the money from the budget savings/cuts when realized. Bloated gov and wasteful spending is no secret. Yet I think it’s a valid concern re: what happens with the savings? Who benefits?
@Amy_K_Nelson Similar to someone with lots of money not being read in to federal employees’ employment terms and then making up lies about them as a whole. I’m sorry that happened to you. Let’s hope it stops from all angles, where it’s targeting ordinary Americans.
@SHornbeezy@elonmusk@DOGE Right and in private sector people can just spend and do whatever but in public sector there’s so many rules/regs cautious to ensure we avoid a “gift of public funds” etc the rigors just to get travel approved, for example. Can’t just swipe a card!
@elonmusk Wait so is it an audit to determine if employees are actually in positions? Or is it an accountability check? Hmmm. Are you that disconnected? You don’t think agencies are audited or have internal accountability tools?
@elonmusk Here’s the thing. *Good* leaders already have good accountability tools in place. I could answer this for each of my direct reports and my boss could answer it for each of hers. It’s the aggressive delivery over social media (the good) peeps probably take issue with.
This will piss some people off but...
In my opinion the psychological damage caused by the kind of blind faith promoted by religion is why Trump's lies so easily spread. It conditions people to accept authority without question. When individuals are taught from an early age to believe in something without proof, to surrender critical thinking in favor of “divine truth,” they become more susceptible to manipulation.
Trump has exploited this mindset, demanding unwavering loyalty while flooding the public with lies. His supporters don’t require evidence; they’ve been conditioned to reject it. The same mechanisms that demand faith in religious dogma now demand faith in political falsehoods, creating a world where truth is secondary to belief, and where reality itself is dictated NOT by facts, but by the proclamations of a self-styled savior.
Blind faith, whether in a religious figure or a political demagogue, is corrosive to democracy and to the human mind.
For MAGAs who don’t understand the constitution.
1. A judge cannot overturn a law as written.
2. An executive order is not a law.
3. A president cannot create a law without Congress.
So a judge has every right to overturn an EO if it’s found to be unconstitutional.
Acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll is demonstrating himself as someone who is an authentic patriot and that his loyalty is to the U.S. Fucking Constitution.
