Trump Aides Explore Boosting Musk Effort by Wresting Control from Congress

That effort, if successful, could give Trump far greater authority to remake the federal budget on his own, altering the balance of power between the branches of government.

Biden could derail the "Antichrist" (/s) train. The SC gave the office of the president immunity for official acts. Arresting tRump and his cabinet picks as a "clear and present danger" to the US would be an official act.

Dictator and his oligarchs plotting out the next hundred years, where the investor class, at least the 1%, are in fact American royalty living in great luxury where the rest, certainly the poor, live in global warming hell. And no poor person can afford a Tesla, few if any will be going to Mars so that is just a distraction and how Musk can grab at taxpayers funds.

Firing federal employees who haven't come back to work since Covid should be a start. Kamala can offer McDonalds training.

Looking forward to the IRS disappearing almost entirely If no one is there to audit our tax returns, why would anyone pay?

@#8 ... Firing federal employees who haven't come back to work since Covid should be a start. ...

I'd agree. Any Federal employee who does not work should be fired.

But your comment seems to place a location upon whether or not an employee is working.

Having worked from home in my career (back in the 1970's, as I have said here), I am not convinced that location should be a sole criterion for firing an employee. Indeed, back then I was lauded for working from home.


I'd say that there needs to be more specificity provided before an employee is fired.

I mean, Pres-elect Trump is pro-workers.

Shouldn't he proffer that level of judgment before a worker is fired?

But meanwhile I'll not be reading any articles fromthe Washington Poat. Sols out newsapers aren't worth the paper they are printed on.
