President Trump's Executive Actions (orders, proclamations, etc.)

I just got the answer to my question.

The dismissal is being done in such a way that it can be brought back up if he doesn't dance to the Trump Administration's tune. You can't do that with clemency. If he had pardoned Adams, Adams would have no incentive to assist Trump with his immigration policies.

It's almost as clever as it is corrupt. I can see why the prosecutors are resigning.

He is what he believes his opponents are. I and many other conservatives complained about how some things were handled the past four years and they turn around and (waves hands around) do all this.

There will be a reckoning eventually. Some of the other GOP members better wise the **** up, this dude is a lame duck and they are going to be tied to all of this.

Get ready for Randy Wittman, folks! IU is not a destination job for top coaches. Bob Knight was Indiana basketball. The program died when he left. There is nothing institutionally that creates an environment for coaches to have success, unlike a Kansas or Kentucky.

And what institutionally does Kansas and UK have or do that IU does not?

Or do you just like to bitch?

JD Vance is taking a lot of heat for his speech in Munich. The speech itself was fantastic. There's nothing he said in this speech that I disagree with.

His major theme is that if you embrace democracy, you have to embrace ideas and votes for things you don't like. And he excoriates (but doesn't name) Thierry Breton for having cheered the annulment of a Romanian election under EU pressure...and for musing about the possibility of doing the same thing in Germany (if the AfD were to prevail).

But, of course, the obvious rejoinder to this would be that Vance's own boss, uh, quite famously objected to, dismissed as rigged, and sought to have overturned an election he didn't like. And I think that's 100% fair to be throwing that back in Vance's face. In other words, Vance doesn't occupy the moral space to be the one to be saying this. It's really something that ought to be coming from somebody like Kamala Harris or Joe Biden.

But would they ever give this speech to Europe? Given John Kerry's odious remarks about social media not long ago, I seriously doubt that they would. I fear that Biden or Harris might be just fine with the idea that a Romanian election should be annulled if it didn't turn out the way they wanted (they claimed Russian interference, natch). Because the entire enterprise of this is thwarting populist political parties in Europe.

Shouldn't Europe instead be addressing the underlying causes that are driving people into the arms of populists?

Anyway....you be the judge. It's 19 minutes long.

I'd be interested in your explanation of calling a $36Trillion debt, growing by $10 Billion daily , a small inefficiency, blown out of proportion....

Honest question...do you read your own posts?
Click to expand...
You think DOGE is going to get anywhere close to 36 Trillion? They won't get within 35.9 of that. The Republicans just announced they are adding another 4 trillion this year. Any of the savings DOGE finds are just going to that.

Do you read your own post?

My parents were both public school teachers for almost 80 years combined. Not one has ever heard of a single teacher ever being fired for poor performance. I assume it’s the same in federal government.

Wrong. When I was active duty and had civilians working for me, I fired two for poor performance. My guess is that most teachers are wimps when it comes to that sort of thing.

Yet a far cry from at will. Which applies to most of America. You come work for me. You don’t get probation. Notice. Nothing. If tomorrow I decide I’d rather buy a car than payroll you’re out. And that’s how most of the country lives
Click to expand...
Probation means they can be let go at any point during that period. They can be fired almost immediately for misconduct. They can be fired for poor performance, but the government has built in a process that allows them a chance to improve. If they don't, they're gone too. That's different than the private sector but Congress wanted those workforce protections in the law. If a union is involved there are some additional constraints like in the private sector. I don't think unions should be permitted in the public sector. The government isn't exactly like the non-union private sector, but it's a total myth that government employees can't be fired.

ClownTown Banners NEVER gets anything right. Hell, someone linked to a thread from there about Woodson being forced out just the other day and that thread started a week AFTER it had already been posted on here. Why does anyone pay attention to site anymore?

I'm fine with transferring those responsibilities to another department. Just have a plan in place for that before going in like a wrecking ball.

Point is moot. Sounds like Trump is already back tracking on the department of Ed stuff.

Randy Wittman, Steve Alford… ??? WTF.

Jeff Goofman puts out a tweet and you people fall to pieces like little girls.

Highest NIL in the BIG, talent rich geography, bleeding fan base. Duh. Just an adequate coach has this rolling again.

Don’t you understand?! This is proof that IU is not an attractive destination for top level coaches. Stevens is just waiting for a destination job to open like UNC (oh, wait), or Duke (oh, wait), or UK (oh wait), or L’ville (oh wait), or UConn in 2018 (wait, that’s not it, either). Is there a destination Stevens is waiting to open up?

If Trump was smart more than arrogant, he'd realize that he screwed up royally here and reverse course on this.

Trump actually is a pretty smart guy. But his arrogance almost always gets the better of him. So he won't do it....and will be oblivious to how much this sort of thing will derail his presidency.

He says he had nothing to do with ordering the case dismissed.
