Thank you. I hope the results are ultimately to your satisfaction as well.

Lauar Mohr,

This is along the lines of these czars'. They aren't actual cabinet posts and do not go through advise and consent within the Senate. I've never liked the concept of these czars. Problem is, the precedent has already been set. Musk has no real power other than what the president grants him at his behest. All of these agencies serve at the pleasure of POTUS. I would much prefer our Constitutional structure. Sadly, over the past few decades Congress has eroded that structure away. These days bills are 1000+ pages that spawn thousands of more pages of regulations written by alphabet soup agencies that ostensibly are part of the executive branch

People like me have been warning about precedent. We were mocked when the left was controlling things. Now the tables have turned and we have an administration clearly willing to take advantage of what has been laid at its feet. This is a bed that has largely been built by the left. Now you all can lie in the bed you all constructed.

I'd like to see a 2 pronged approach. Short term, utilize these levers of power the same way the left has in order to achieve ideological goals. At the same time take steps now to put legislative impediments in place to greatly limit this type of governance that moves us back toward our traditional constitutional structure in the longer term.

" taking over critical parts of the government"

Help me out. What parts of the government has Musk taken over?

I'm being serious.

Twoothy,

You hysterically made end of the world claims over the overturning of Chevron.

What happened? According to you our country should cease to exist right now based upon that ruling alone

You are a hyper-partisan, hyper- emotional permanently emasculated cooze.

It's also amazing that I've yet to see mainstream outlets that love to promote trans do any kind of reporting on this. Did you make any effort beyond the one source you found to corroborate these claims, Twoothy? Did you find any kind of analysis that shows passport difficulties as a whole - the process is a pain in the rear.

I'm guessing no. I'm quite confident it's a no.

" Trans people are being refused their passport regardless of the gender they put on the application"

It's not a result of the EO.

" I am not going to connect obvious dots for you.

I don't care. Results and outcomes. That's what I care about.

" Yes, we already know that if you didn't see the reporting then (for you) it didn't happen. Unless it's something you "feel" has to be true. Then no matter what, you won't be swayed."

Your link showed an informal agreement on both sides.

Nothing about 10,000 troops being sent to the border. Good on the Biden admin to take a measure to try and reduce fentanyl coming in. This recent deal was about more than just fentanyl. It was about strengthening the border as a whole.

Yav, your link is weak sauce. I see this most recent handshake as a net positive from a policy standpoint. As we move forward I don't care whether deals and outcomes make Trump look good or bad. I care about results and outcomes.

" That was committed to under Biden"

Did it happen? Not that I'm aware of and I never saw reporting about it.

Words without actions are meaningless.

" Yes, you dumb ass ----, that is right it is a violation of their rights. The ------- YOU support and got elected is doing this.
sfstandard.com"

Right in your link:

" President Donald Trump signed an executive order Jan. 20 declaring that the U.S. government would recognize only two sexes. The order also bars people from changing their gender on federal documents."

Their federal documents must list their actual sex. So, no. They are not being prevented from traveling abroad. I knew you were making this up.

" Even if true, that still doesn't justify putting someone in charge who is unelected and unaccountable to anyone and who has massive conflicts of interests of his own"

Musk is not in charge of the USAID funds. The State Department is.

" What is the outcome?

Basically, just more of the same.

With Canada - pretty much.

Mexico? They are moving 10,000 troops to the border to tighten up control. That is definitely a positive outcome.

So, the price of eggs was considerably lower on January 19 than it is today?

" They're a waste of money and resources to let the gullible rubes get their faux patriot feeelz.

Sorry, they are cool. Any honest person would acknowledge it. Are you opposed to air shows too?

Despise the Blue Angels?

Your math skills are commendable. I'll give you that.

Way to cut off a bunch of line items, Canucktard.

Equal protection.

" Trans people are have their passports denied regardless of the gender they put in the passport"

WTH are you talking about? That's an equal treatment violation.

" No. Just STFU you civics illiterate dumbass.

I said it CANNOT be undone by EO you illiterate dumbass.

" Trans people are not able to get a passport and thus are unable to travel"

Sure they can. They just need to state their sex.

Nope. You are the one who thinks black people are incapable of getting photo IID's.

Once again LGH elevates the discussion with eloquent prose.

Flyovers are cool. And you absolutely hate patriotism.

Those Twitter links were Chip Roy. Who posted documents showing how some of the money has been spent.

I've never decried people posting Twitter links, BTW.

Then we can point and laugh at you for getting your news from twitter

The act established foreign aid. The EO created the agency to disburse the aid. Another EO ended that agency and moved the responsibility to the State department. The aid that Congress is required to appropriate via legislation is still being disbursed.

I don't see the issue here.
