Trump fires 17 independent inspectors general

Payback, mcnutty, for my comment in another thread? You’re nothing if not predictable.
Let me explain something, not that you’ll understand it. Trump’s the current President. He’s also a former President. In between, he was running for president while his business organization was convicted of crimes and he personally was repeatedly indicted and later convicted on 34 felony counts. He is the most controversial and talked-about figure of our time. My concomitant posts are somewhat more relevant than your drivel about clothes, your favorite Bravo shows and your unending, fictionalized accounts of your life.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. There’s an easy solution that will prevent your triggered episodes. Put me on ignore. I highly recommend this, as I’m just getting warmed up with my Trump commentary.
Bwahahaha continue to support what most of us already know. You’re both dumb and mentally weak. Feeble old man shouting about trump.
Looking forward to your next little triggered indirect attack. See I’m direct pussy boy. I’d smash you old man
Take jdb’s advice. Introspection
LOL. In this case, they're being removed because they can't be counted on to further a political agenda.
From where do IG’s derive their constitutional authority and why is it so hard for Presidents to fire them?
Reagan and H.W. both tried to clean house on IG’s as well. Except they were more or less cajoled into submission by congress. Reagan was more successful.
Look. Congress has their own subpoena power and investigatory powers. If they want to look into a department, they can do so.
If IG’s serve at the pleasure of the President, then canning them should be made simple as a stroke of the President's pen.
We CANNOT have people running amok in government with no defined entity to report to. Even if they are supposedly rooting out waste, fraud and abuse.
Lastly, since ‘78 when the first IG went into place, have we seen a precipitous drop in waste fraud and abuse?
The answer to that is no we haven’t. Time to end this charade once and for all. Jimmy Carter continues to rat f*ck the country from the grave

Not your usual post, Lucy. Any chance you forgot to change screen names?
36 holes in the last 24 hours and now an audience with the HOR.
The man is indefatigable.
And he made a deal with the Columbians between shots.
What deal did he make with the residents of the capital of South Carolina?
I was talking about student unrest at the university.
I feel sorry for anyone stupid enough to believe that's how anything works. The last time such ignorance reigned in our nation was 1930.
These IGs were apparently uncovering too much fraud, waste, and abuse.
These firings don't eliminate the departments, so I'm not sure how much of a fresh look is going to happen. Maybe there is more coming?
If your concern is that the IGs aren't doing enough to check Presidential/executive action, I'm not sure how placing loyalists in these spots or solidifying the unitary executive theory could possibly alleviate that concern.
If Trump and Republicans are successful in this endeavor to remake the executive branch, I wonder if anyone is thinking about what the Democrats will do with this precedent the next time they are in office. Do any politicians ever consider that anymore?
I firmly disagree with you that people can't "ignore their biases," if by that you mean they can't compartmentalize their job from their political positions, and act to execute at their job without being moved by those political positions. That's pretty much the definition of a good judge (and lawyer), isn't it? Go too far down this road, CoH, and you're going to be an illiberal postmodernist.
What was the old joke, if you’re stuck on the course during a lightning storm, just hold up a 1 iron. Not even God can hit a 1 iron.
My best friend, who is a way better golfer then me, has a 2 iron in his bag.
I hit it once last year... went about 230 but probably never got higher then about 15 feet off the ground. It also went right, which i tend to hit a little baby slice. Never again.
The flatter the stick, the farther right I go when trying to find my ball.
