Not surprising. He ignored all IG reports in his first go around

deirdredonovan.bsky.social•28 days ago

They will be purging all documents that prove his corruption. Believe me!

cooperloops.bsky.social•28 days ago

Just another day.

tangomeister.bsky.social•29 days ago

Jeez... what took him so long?

He's the fraud, waste and abuse, but that's the only thing they conveniently will not identify.

eiora.bsky.social•28 days ago

Dictators do what dictators must.

joeleneoooo.bsky.social•28 days ago

Has anyone filed to take him to court over this yet ?

therealauntymel.bsky.social•29 days ago

The way things are going, he’ll put Hannity in charge of selecting future Independent Inspectors. Country’s being run by Murdoch people & Musk, no Americans!

burnetcountydems.bsky.social•29 days ago

Scary.

papasmurf152.bsky.social•29 days ago

That’s what authoritarians do!

birdcorp.bsky.social•28 days ago

The rise of shitler 🤦‍♂️

scdem916.bsky.social•28 days ago

He hasn't done anything he said he'd do first day, except make lives unbearable. Is this his first violation?

rigor-motorist.bsky.social•28 days ago

Yup, this is all going pretty much as expected.

kenroggemann.bsky.social•28 days ago

Soylent Green!!! Yummy!!! No more regulations on food!!

fluid-like-water.bsky.social•29 days ago

They said Project 2025 implemented within the first 180 days. Here we go.

suomikim.bsky.social•28 days ago

The evil never stops...

phillyfilly.bsky.social•29 days ago

So he can INSTALL waste and abuse. Just like last time when he drastically mishandled the ‘global episode’ resulting in 1.7 million excess deaths in US

mstraat.bsky.social•29 days ago

ilyakuriyaken.bsky.social•29 days ago

And by the time anyone actually tries to stop them it will be too late.

cyditmoon.bsky.social•29 days ago

Some of them were his appointees from his first term in office. I am sure he has no clue as to who they are and what they do only that were in place during the Biden administration. Pure madness.

mbusby.bsky.social•29 days ago

He plans on breaking up NOAA, home to the Hurricane Forecast Center, National Weather Service, and bunch of other offices. Without oversight, he'll sell them off to the highest bidder or give them to cronies.

He'll probably sell off the Census Bureau, USGS, Forest Service, USDA.

Heavenly Father, hear our prayers for our brothers and sisters in Ukraine🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

experimental22.bsky.social•28 days ago

The MAGA attack on the United States is far more brazen and destructive than the attack on Pearl Harbor 12/7/41.

munrog.bsky.social•28 days ago

He wants to do the abusing.

stephstags.bsky.social•28 days ago

He can't just fire them There is a process. He has to give Congress specific reasons why. THIRTY days in advance.
The question is will the two houses hold him to it?

ronnybarboza.bsky.social•28 days ago

Or... just handicap♿️ the system & have a massive STRIKE to FUCK trump administration & render him #POWERLESS

He can't get anything DONE, if #WE just strangles his presidential authority

Inclusive of DEMs/INDs in Congress, Judiciary, & all Fed Employees

#WEthePEOPLE are the WORK FORCE

Be #DEFIANT

dufc1976.bsky.social•29 days ago

the night of the long knives

maniczebra.bsky.social•29 days ago

That’s not until they begin purging their own. Which I expect will start happening shortly.

okguy.bsky.social•29 days ago

They’re racing against time, to subvert this country into an Autocracy, before the 2026 midterms. Because, if Republicans get wiped out, like Obama’s first term. Democrats would have the means to have investigations into his administration. And if necessary impeach then convict. That’s our focus.

aprildiana.bsky.social•29 days ago

Well, maybe they’ll have just enough time to get really dirty then get found out right in time for midterms.

fluid-like-water.bsky.social•29 days ago

Spot on!!!

blueistheway.bsky.social•27 days ago

Nah bro, we’re at the war phase. Get your war paint ready, my Liberal, disenfranchised Republicans and Independent brothers and sisters. We could be a powerful coalition! Resist!

paoulo.bsky.social•28 days ago

Mid terms can’t come soon enough, hopefully enough smart democrats to tie him up in red tape and legals in the mean time

oldgammon.bsky.social•29 days ago

This is really not good.

blue25boy.bsky.social•28 days ago

Democrats need to start making a list of Trump loyalists who are being installed because when they get back into power (and they will, the pendulum aways swings back) there will be another purge.

lexvil.bsky.social•28 days ago

Record the names and faces of his insiders.

david425.bsky.social•29 days ago

Our country will never be the same again

marylaursen98.bsky.social•29 days ago

None of this is surprising

backlitkeyboard.bsky.social•29 days ago

That's not what they are going to be looking for.

democracymuse.bsky.social•28 days ago

Pure, unchecked corruption.

lsmartin1.bsky.social•27 days ago

He did it to help enable his own and wealth and that of his Oligarchs.

bluebirdssing.bsky.social•29 days ago

He’s on a roll. With everyone bowing the knee, permission granted.

joaquinmurrietta.bsky.social•29 days ago

And his drunken rapist gets to be the boss of a multi-Trillion dollar department. He is robbing is blind in a biblical fashion. And we can't do anything. Thank you Merrick Garland.

aprildiana.bsky.social•29 days ago

Exactly. I can’t believe the dems let this happen, that there was nothing they could do. A simple law requiring truth in political ads would have helped enormously, since lies are what won the election. It wasn’t Rump: his rallies had low attendance with people leaving halfway through.

bohdan32.bsky.social•29 days ago

Heavenly Father, hear our prayers for our brothers and sisters in Ukraine🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

oldgammon.bsky.social•29 days ago

The Democrats attempted to conceal the fact Biden was unfit to serve. Harris was deeply unlike but still imposed on the Party. Their policy's did not reflect what the country wanted, cut immigration, end of woke, security. They have only themselves to blame.

urziel99.bsky.social•28 days ago

All Trump had to sell was grievance. And he used that to make people think he's on their side, even in reality it was all to avoid the jail time he knew was coming. He banked on his cult being gullible hateful rubes and it worked.

joaquinmurrietta.bsky.social•29 days ago

Racist hate is the reason for the his win. Trump took the most base of all human emotions - FEAR - and manipulated his uneducated base with hateful lies. Racist fear is driven by hate. Spending millions lying about Black immigrants eating cats sure scared the bejeezus out of those inbred buffoons.

vguyen.bsky.social•28 days ago

itsmissyvonne.bsky.social•28 days ago

Yep. We all knew he was lying through his teeth when he claimed to know nothing about Project 2025, written by his cronies and toadies. I've read the manifesto; I am not surprised at any of it, but more horrified all the time as the manifesto is directing Trump's choices.

amateur-philosophy.bsky.social•28 days ago

kurtwhittet.bsky.social•29 days ago

This is totally fucking unacceptable and a total abuse of power - Republicans need to stop being cowards and speak out against this - we are losing our country

snow1nsummer.bsky.social•29 days ago

Repub are only out for themselves. They care more about keeping their jobs over the people who voted for them. They simply do not give a 💩.

donnanoose.bsky.social•29 days ago

How are those egg prices doing?

aenavyveteran.bsky.social•28 days ago

Sneaky schmuck.

Wow that's crazy this men is reckon havoc

sassyqueenv.bsky.social•28 days ago

Project 2025 in action smh we told the rest of these so called Americans not to vote this man in.

jeepk.bsky.social•28 days ago

I read on Rachel Meadows page that they need to give a 30 advance notice to congress. But hey, we are living in the wild, wild west now.

winniethepoodle.bsky.social•28 days ago

He is destroying America. This is only the first week. What will America be in four years! Very very very concerning! A maniac that is above the law. How did this happen! He should have been in jail with the rest on the insurrection losers!

dream-waker.bsky.social•29 days ago

So basically he wants to go full speed ahead on republican fraud, waste, and abuse...

draznnl.bsky.social•29 days ago

Who needs experts in identifying fraud, waste, and abuse when you are trying to make the government more efficient? Am I the only one this doesn’t make sense to?

gaiasngbd.bsky.social•29 days ago

Treason. From within.

livingthedreamz.bsky.social•29 days ago

We have a TREASONOUS SEDITIONOUS POS PRESIDENT sitting in the Oval OFFICE making decisions for WE. THE. PEOPLE.

gaiasngbd.bsky.social•29 days ago

Agree.

livingthedreamz.bsky.social•29 days ago

He is a FUCKING domestic terrorist! And now we know which REPUBLICANS are also complicit with him ! This is getting ridiculous!

gaiasngbd.bsky.social•29 days ago

Agree

baronandy.bsky.social•28 days ago

The USA has a mafia extremist government that only cares for their own. They are clearly trying to promote resistance across the board to then impose their brand of a totally fascist state where everybody who even criticises their actions will be under surveillance.

proftinkerbell.bsky.social•29 days ago

One correction: that "will" clear the way.

paulrogers.bsky.social•28 days ago

"Kamala isn't experienced enough"

I didn't realise the type of experience voters wanted.

luxintenebrislucet.bsky.social•28 days ago

Criminal president wants a criminal goverment.

nativetexan4.bsky.social•29 days ago

The party of big government doesn't work continues to break it to ensure that's the case.

carole-62-angel.bsky.social•29 days ago

Fraud, waste and abuse of government is all trump and his band of feminine bitches will be doing, not stopping.

pburns81.bsky.social•29 days ago

I can 100% confirm this.

bohdan32.bsky.social•29 days ago

Please support Ukraine 🇺🇦

anonymustruth.bsky.social•28 days ago

Trump has had 4 years to plan all this. Just like his other plans, he has become obsessed with them for years, patiently waiting for the day when he could carry out those plans.

Project 2025 is underway.

begemot13.bsky.social•28 days ago

Nut case in the White House.

Fear not “DOGE” will replace the OIGs. I definitely have full confidence in shady billionaires to keep an eye on fraud and corruption..

bankingonchange.bsky.social•29 days ago

This is what the oligarchs paid for.

This site really needs to add a facepalm to the standard reply options.

Loving God, We pray for the people of Ukraine, for all those suffering or afraid, that you will be close to them and protect them🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

katieleeb.bsky.social•28 days ago

Project 2025- also illegal only Congress can and they must be given a 30 day notice

elizmadsen.bsky.social•29 days ago

I hope there are some restrictions in place to protect the fired IG's.

grandpasaid.bsky.social•28 days ago

why is anyone surprised?

citizen12345.bsky.social•29 days ago

He be a full blown dictator now.

bryceg73.bsky.social•29 days ago

So basically the USA is running independently of government for at least next two years? What is other search engine Duck Duck Go to rely on? Can’t trust Google for information with CEO being butt kisser

cooperloops.bsky.social•28 days ago

Maybe he can actually get fired and Drump can accidentally appoint someone that is good and competent.

lrvelaa.bsky.social•29 days ago

I'm using Brave, and it is fine for me.

bryceg73.bsky.social•29 days ago

I don’t know it.

Lord we ask for peace for those who need peace, reconciliation for those who need reconciliation and comfort for all who don't know what tomorrow will bring🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Absolutely INSANE PEOPLE. RED flags everywhere! When is ENOUGH ....ENOUGH. What's it going to take ? PATRIOT front marching in fron of JD Vance and Johnson today ? Enough is enough.......

factsmatter5319.bsky.social•29 days ago

The coup continues.

skip93.bsky.social•29 days ago

Independent? If they were independent how does Trump have the authority to fire & replace them?

max-n-lu.bsky.social•29 days ago

He's planning to rob the country blind. He wants to be America's version of Putin. With no watchdogs, he'll probably get away with stealing billions.
