What do you think of another t0000 2.0 thread specifically dedicated to laws broken?
One broken law has to do with designating a new agency:
DOGE = Department of Government Efficiency. You know the one to be headed by the muskmelon and Vivek. But Vivek somehow didn’t fit the bill so he’s already exited. While the cucurbit will actually be stationed inside the White House! [Update, 1.25.25: t0000’s chief of staff, Susie Wiles, apparently has a say in who occupies offices in the White House. She insisted that musk be removed and he will now be in some moribund building nearby! Is the honeymoon over?]
There are laws about how new agencies are created. There are requirements having to do with transparency and other things I’d have to look up.
IDIOT Trump FALLS into his OWN TRAP with LATEST MOVE [Meidas Touch;1.23.25]
Blurb: “MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on how Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s creation of a fake agency brought on an avalanche of legal issues.”
Another broken law is what t0000 did at around midnight last night. He
fired at least 12 Inspectors General.
Trump Accused Of ‘Dismantling Checks On His Power’ After Firing Inspectors General—Here’s What To Know [Forbes;1.25.25]
This was from an article on the same topic, in the NYTimes: “The White House appeared to have violated a law that requires giving Congress 30 days’ notice and detailed reasons before removing the watchdog officials.” I think the firing was instructed to be effective immediately. Is this a case where they should not have left their offices? Will Congress act? Will anyone hold him to abide by the law?
Btw, most of those fired were people t0000 had appointed in his first term who Biden left in those positions, which are not political.
For now, I’ll just indicate laws broken by using
yellow-orange type.
OMG! Trump FIRES his OWN IG’S in Friday MIDNIGHT MASSACRE [Meidas Touch;1.25.25]
[Update, 1.26.25: Inspectors General are not taking this lying down.
Trump Hit with MASSIVE LEGAL THREAT by IG’S he FIRED [Meidas Touch;1.26.25]
Adding this, an interview w one of the fired IGs. He talks about the job, its apolitical nature, and the importance. As well as his own path to the position.
BREAKING NEWS: 1-on-1 With Fired Inspector General [Talking Feds with Harry Litman;1.26.25]
Blurb: “Harry talks with Mark Greenblatt, one of the Inspectors General fired suddenly in the “Friday night purge” of the vast majority of Senate-confirmed IG’s. They discuss the origin, function, and nature of Inspectors General, who have saved taxpayers nearly $700 billion. Greenblatt talks about his own 20-year + service in the IG community, during which he rotated through several agencies and was elected by his peers to lead the IGs’ council. Then they zero in on Friday night and exactly what happened before moving to Greenblatt’s current thoughts about how the IG community, Congress, and country should respond to the purge, and whether and how it is possible to safeguard the paramount goal of oversight with integrity and credibility. It’s the longest and most detailed and nuance discussion with any of the fired IGs, going well beyond quick sound bites to an in-depth examination of who IGs are and what the country has lost in the purge.”
Of course, there are more! I just can’t think of them right now.
