All Biden people, he stacked a lot of courts with Alot judges and a lot of people. I wish they were crooked like Republican judges we would be in good shape.

It’s gonna be really bad. Really bad.

mark-luftig.bsky.social•29 days ago

Like during his first term, always the worst on Friday night.

desertmage65.bsky.social•29 days ago

And of course the New York Times doesn’t mention that the move is illegal.

heatherand.bsky.social•29 days ago

Suffering is coming for us all.

I choose to suffer with purpose.

I will bear up under the burden of fascism so my immigrant, queer, black, disabled, poor and in danger neighbors may suffer less.

But we coulda had free school lunch you unfuckable fascists.

Hey, NYT. Aren’t you glad you sanewashed old Miracle Ear?

Of course they are! Look at all the clicks! Straight ad revenue.

He really doesn’t like facts or intelligent people does he?

Reminding me of ‘70’s Cambodia

Project 2025 in action. How were so many so damn blind!

susanjstone.bsky.social•29 days ago

We were warned for years and now project 2025 is happening in full force and it is terrifying because it will get worse every day...heartbroken for my children, grandchildren...for all the most vulnerable who are living in fear. I am so angry at all of those who did nothing to stop him.

We collectively cash out our 401ks. They are trying to back the treasury with crypto which only the rich can afford. And our money will be worthless. We only have a small time to do this.

liberty2bfree.bsky.social•28 days ago

Well everyone knows

A FELON like DJT can’t get away with doing lots of CRIMES with

INSPECTOR GENERALS watching, inspecting & collecting FACTS & EVIDENCE to present to AMERICANS & JUSTICES of all his vicious CRIMES!

Thanks!

Everyone will, or should, be reporting on this so you'll get the details soon.

corona-limes.bsky.social•29 days ago

Thanks!!

starrynites.bsky.social•28 days ago

It makes me sick to see them salute that felon

littleweebit.bsky.social•29 days ago

On Friday of course

thatothergirl.bsky.social•29 days ago

I think this is a good time for Americans to familiarise themselves with the former South African president Jacob Zuma and his state capture project. And how the country resisted this through our strong independent courts. I think the US is in trouble because your Supreme Court is captured…

thatothergirl.bsky.social•29 days ago

We actually managed to convict and send Zuma to jail for breaking the law, even if he didn’t spend a long time there

ladyclaresussex.bsky.social•29 days ago

US Inspectors General are crucial for detecting and deterring waste, fraud and abuse. Their hard work has led to the identification of billions in savings and the prosecution crooks.

This is a coup d'état by a racist, rapist and crook. #endfascism #rem

Attorney Generals, you’re on! You were chosen for this fight. Calling all heroes. It’s go time!

donpbenz.bsky.social•29 days ago

No sleep. That’s good.

fightlies.bsky.social•29 days ago

Undoubtedly more political firings. Which are illegal.

madmacs.bsky.social•29 days ago

So. . . he's not allowed to do this, legally, but. . .
the Supreme Court will let him anyway?

vegaskat.bsky.social•29 days ago

He gave an illegal order and everyone obeyed

Literally a violation of law

Don't act surprised when he orders Americans killed and his henchmen obey

studentsdemocracy.bsky.social•28 days ago

he fired those who are truthful
and
hired LOYALISTS who would not
expose his crimes

and now he's doing it again... ARE WE STUPID ???

During his first term (2017–2021), Trump dismissed several inspectors general, particularly in 2020.

THIS TIME HE HAS 'IMMUNITY' FROM
MAGA SCOTUS

marytorgersen.bsky.social•29 days ago

Putin is delighted, I’m sure. They must be popping the champagne bottles inside the Kremlin! 🥂🍾🎊

kurtwhittet.bsky.social•29 days ago

By doing this, Trump has made it very clear that he is a total fucking fascist - Republicans need to pick a side: fascism or democracy - history is watching

marytorgersen.bsky.social•29 days ago

I think you missed it. They’ve already picked. They went with the fascist. They just confirmed Hegseth for SecDef, after all. The same day they fired all the IGs! 😵‍💫

gopherface.bsky.social•29 days ago

At this point they'd point out that we aren't a democracy because we're a republic. And they don't understand why that's laughable

welshielady.bsky.social•29 days ago

They have chosen fascism.

suvro1776.bsky.social•29 days ago

Merrick Garland

suffy57.bsky.social•28 days ago

They are not going until the fat court sings! Way to go f-ing IGs!!!

emi8ime.bsky.social•29 days ago

Why are people so surprised?

Project 2025 is a pretty long read

digitalnomadx.bsky.social•29 days ago

They have a road map this time.

thegreenonion.bsky.social•28 days ago

mamabodes.bsky.social•29 days ago

So scary!! Vengeance!

chrislovespugs.bsky.social•29 days ago

This is insane. The rest of the world is horrified.

billjarrett.bsky.social•29 days ago

Well rest of the world - we have a drunk for sec of defense, intel is being destroyed from the inside out and we are putting our best troops on the Mexican border to be a pony show.

czdave.bsky.social•28 days ago

Yeah… but who did he KEEP?

mzmazz.bsky.social•29 days ago

I Find it most interesting that one of the IGs who were fired was the one at DOD. That means a Trump lackey can take the position and Haygseth can install a bar and a "casting couch" in his office

dogthropology.bsky.social•29 days ago

Long knives. On track.

jr-fellow.bsky.social•29 days ago

We are seeing the end of the Republic and the rise of the Galactic Empire. No New Hope yet…

justtaoit.bsky.social•29 days ago

When the Dictator POTUS brazenly breaks the law, the rule of law is broken. This is no longer a democracy.

mirmoy.bsky.social•29 days ago

It’s full-on banana republic to have a late-night purge.

citizen12345.bsky.social•29 days ago

This seems really bad.

bluetranslation.bsky.social•29 days ago

You certainly don't want Inspector Generals watching when you hit the ground CRIMING and don't intend to stop. 🤷

broccolee.bsky.social•29 days ago

Why is anyone surprised? He’s a convicted rapist tax cheat insurrectionist felon - he doesn’t want any witnesses

paulaptb.bsky.social•28 days ago

Where are Joni Ernst and Chuck Grassley, who just founded the Inspectors' General Caucus last week? https://www.grassley.senate.gov/news/news-releases/grassley-joins-senate-inspector-general-caucus

jjmbknyc.bsky.social•29 days ago

If you think this is going to save $, you'd be dead wrong. These were the people that kept us in the know about gov. agency expenditures, follies, misdirection, misappropriations, etc. It's like the police not having a civilian review board. Not a good idea and definitely bad for everyone else.
