President Elon Musk
He probably deserves his own thread at this point, discuss accordingly
Also ya, having a beer with trump if nothing else would be a very interesting experience.
Trump is a teetotaler - you'd think the US would've learned by now what **** goes down when you elect one of these guys (see: GWB)
Let's throw Vance in the mix and do marry, ****, kill.
To be clear I’m not saying at all that trump is a guy I wanna have a beer with, I very very very much do not. But if there’s a compulsory choice between him and Leon it’s clearly trump
Tech is one of the most worker salary based industries. Something like the social security administration would s responsible for 73 million peoples benefits. Cutting the workforce even by 100% is not a huge deal when you look at the amount of money they are responsible for. But I don’t think too many people claim trump will actually reduce government spending. It’ll just
Running a government like a business is a crappy idea, because while business can be adept at handling crises and faults, its answer to catastrophe is usually to shut down.
That was already the case as I told you guys repeatedly being mocked about it by people here which didn't understand the ongoing dynamic.
It was already the case. Secretaries/heads of agencies had the last call on everything affecting their department/agency
I guess you should have told Musk and Trump because Musk was running the show and Trump said he was on two occasions.
In other news, Captain Obvious, the President has last call on everything regarding the executive branch. Bet you didn't think that was the case during Biden's term, eh?
DOGE: We command you agencies to give us full access to your systems, fire all probationary employees using our form language, and cut all the services and contacts we tell you to. Do it now, or else you’re fired. Here are examples we’ve made of some agency heads who have been fired for disobedience.
Agency heads - Ok.
INDEPENDENT DECISION accomplished!!

LOOOOL the bold was people that were placeholders before trump nominees got approved by the senate.
Name me one Trump nominee that was fired?

Uhhh those are the people who are relevant for this discussion? You’ve said this before and even now the vast majority of these heads are actings that have not been senate approved yet. The only stuff that is really all done is the cabinet.
How about the rest of it? You call that an independent decision?

I always said that Trump nominated heads are in charge. That was my claim, you can check it.
When you had no Trump nominated heads of departments or agencies ofc DOGE played the crucial role to avoid anti-trump-agenda people act against the administration will.
I hope you agree DOGE (or any other entity which does Trump bidding) is better for democracy at making any choice rather than a previous admin pick, or a "career servant" not aligned with the elected administration agenda in full right? From jan 20 on any decision by any agency or department that doesn't strictly reflect the priorities of the Trump administration is a complete violation of democracy.
Vast majority of the heads have been senate approved already, not sure what you mean.
So you at least agree that DOGE was running the show for the first couple months?

More than anything you have a bunch of incompetents managed by other incompetents so nobody knows who’s in charge or what is even required or lawful.
As always it remains confusing to me that a fascist from Italy who believes non-natives have less than no right to dictate terms in a country they are not born to (or apparently be allowed to live in that country without being abused up to their own murder) wants to tell Americans how they should live
Trump was with DOGE being just one of his tools.
For approx one month, while Senate confirmed people were taking place.
and immediately in every department/agency when the trump nominee got in he/she got full power and DOGE became just an advisor to those entities.

I guess it's that Italy is so weak and he worships power so much he looks for a USA tyrant to worship.
it's a little boring to answer the same question(s) over and over especially when asked by horrible people in complete bad faith like rainman
then, stop please

Great. I’ll just agree with you for the sake of argument.
Why is the Trump administration denying that this ever happened in court?

Because of the technicalities involved with the validity of the decisions during that interim period.
Which, note well, is also why many/most (?) of the lawsuits have been dropped (by either the plaintiffs or by the judges' decisions) after the properly nominated heads re-affirmed many of the decisions.
Man I must be doing something right with my life when a foaming at the mouth incel nazi who can’t stop posting on the internet about his foaming at the mouth incel nazidom calls me a horrible person

Your mistake is in answering the questions.
Look the at the MAGAts and Trumpists of the forum, they don't really answer questions. They re-post tweets, call people libtards and get off on pretending the debate is a joke. The more refined might adopt a "holier than thou"-attitude and pretend they are above it all, lest they dirty their hands with all the silliness.
These views you spend hours consuming and later defending aren't intended for debate. It is just content. There is no intellectual value, connections to reality are arbitrary, facts are cherry-picked and arguments are replaced by slogans. Any objections are met with complete and total hysteria, and people voicing objections are treated as paper cut-outs.
If you disagree, feel free to explain the
and why suddenly nobody cares anymore. It is a perfect case study in how this eco-system you have decided to dedicate your life to works.
People like BJ and PB think that Haitians were really eating pets. People like Luciom can't see the similarities between obvious crap like that and stuff like "wealth and income inequality isn't actually a problem and it's not getting worse."
They're both ridiculous lies, but the first one is for crayon munchers and the second one is for pretentious incels.

Not hard to believe , as long those non U.S. born are not leftish it’s all good .
Especially with fascist tendencies!
U know true freedom and justice equality which is represented by only 1 side of the spectrum -> my, myself and I ….
Others do not matter.
All those having different opinions and values should be put to death , they are ennemies ->true freedom of speech !
Nono I’m not a fascist ….
