You're nothing, period. You don't know jack about IGs. You know next to nothing about me. Your ignorance has never stopped you from spewing nonsense. You should ask yourself a question before you post: Do I know anything about this subject? If the answer is no, as it obviously is much of the time, you should not spew nonsense about it.
You have uncovered the true meaning of TDS.
Don’t mess with me Aloha, I just watched Trump in Las Vegas! I am pumped!LOL! You would never post if you heeded my advice.
We definitely need independent reviewers in government. But given the massive fraud in Covid relief, and Medicare, the * accounting errors “ in Ukraine aid and student debt relief, Fauci’s gain of function research funding, the FEMA mess in North Carolina, the migrant housing funding mess, and the unaccounted for missing funds in many agencies, I think we need a different system than the 72 separate IG’s and their staffs.
It flows from deliberate wrongful conduct by governments officials , or seriously gross incompetence. IG’s ougtbto be in a position to address pr these problems.
IGs point out issues constantly and report them. It’s why the heads of agencies and departments aren’t big fans generally. They’re an important part of oversight.
Horowitz (one that Trump did not dismiss) documented a number of problems at the FBI and the Justice Department. Not much happened, at least not publicly.
This will head to court.
This will be an interesting question. Are all those IGs presidential appointments (I'm guessing not, see below)? Some IGs are appointed by agency heads, and in theory, the power of removal rests with the appointing agency head, not the President.
Maybe a challenge to the Impoundment Control Act of 1974?
I doubt anything is off the table. There is all this hand-wringing over P2025, and all the things it (supposedly) stands for, but I think Trump's handlers are really interested in one thing above all else: the unquestionable supremacy of the Oval Office over all aspects of the executive functions of the government. Everything else is window dressing to get the base fired up or pwn the opposition.
I think the opposite on this one. IGs represent the interests of the executive and legislative branches - really our interests.
And maybe they can learn to code.
Absolutely. Because we know that the biggest Trump donor, the largest government contractor and the richest person in the world will act selflessly and exclusively in the public interest.
We need something.
Even if you are correct, who is to say Musk’s interests don’t align with the public interest?
So, you're guessing and don't know any more about why these IGs are being fired than anyone else and won't unless we see the congressional notifications. More broadly, you're saying it's impossible for government workers, including military, to work in a nonpartisan manner? If that's the case, we might as well pack it all in. We're doomed.
Internet rumor. Don’t know about reliability.
I never said “including military.” But I will say that workers focus on “The Mission.” Some see their mission as opposing Trump and obstructing annd resisting any initiative he proposes. IG’s included. It’s impossible for people to ignore their biases. How those influence their work is an individual thing.
IGs don’t work for the agencies and departments they’re assigned to. They focus on the agencies and departments and investigate tips from employees about possible malfeasance of various kinds. The heads of the agencies and departments generally don’t care for them if they’re doing their jobs.
I have a serious question for you. Do you actually know anything about anything?
Jimmy Carter government jobs project to reward pols...started out with 12....now with 74 plus staffs....like all government..grows geometrically with little regard for results.
