Is this true, Winester? If so, T S A just cleaned your plow.
tee, hee.
USAID wasn't created by congress, USAID was created by Kennedy through executive order. Judge is an idiot.

It was mandated by Congress. You bootlicks are idiots.
Your stipulation is duly noted, Blake.
Winester? You've been called, loving man.
What TSA says is misleadingly true. USAID started as a creation of JFK.
It was rolled into a US agency with a few other en ies by the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1997

JFK just created an agency out of the clear, blue sky. I didn't know the President could do that unilaterally.
Can you imagine if Trump tried that? Judges all over the land would line-up with cease & desist orders.
no no
JFK conjured it, then Congress solemnized it in a law
Trump should try passing a law, is that still possible?
I could be wrong, but I think there have only been 2 laws presented for a vote so far...
This business where the president rules by decree is getting tiresome
He can't. He made President. That was the death knell for him passing laws. He figured that out twixt the 1st time and this last time he made President. It's all Executive Action now, + beating Judges at their own game.
That's what happens when a man is shot and lives to tell. He gets mad, mean mad. That's Trump...he's mean mad.
He can't makes sense out of him not being dead.
It's like that episode on Hill Streets Blues, where one of the cops/detective has a pistol pointed at him an inch from his face and it dry fires not once, but twice.
He tried to brush it off and continue his regular day...but finally breaks at the end of his shift in the Precinct locker room.
Trump ain't broke yet. But, he will.
your legend and lore is nonsense
seems you're swept up nostalgically in the old megavisual paradigm
as a man born in the 20th century, I can understand the allure
Autistic african is ing up the money.
Did anyone tell him it's not a car company?
Lol at the thought of a hostile takeover of the non car company
He's supposed to have his head blown off, Winester. And the schnook knows it.
He can do whatever he wants as long as it's an official act
why can't y'all pass laws?
the mass firings were fraudulent and they knew they were fraudulent
https://www.propublica.org/article/t...ob-performanceTrump administration lawyers insist that the IRS and other federal agencies have acted within their authority when they ordered waves of mass terminations since Trump took office. But according to previously unreported emails obtained by ProPublica, a top lawyer at the IRS warned administration officials that the performance-related language in his agency’s termination letter was “a false statement” that amounted to “fraud” if the agency kept the language in the letter.
The emails reveal that in the hours before the IRS sent out its Feb. 20 termination letter, a fierce dispute played out at the agency’s highest levels.
Joseph Rillotta, a senior IRS lawyer, wrote that “no one” at the IRS had taken into account the performance of the probationary workers set to be fired. Rillotta urged that the language be struck from the draft termination letter.
If the falsehood wasn’t removed, Rillotta said he would file a report with the inspector general for the IRS.
No one appeared to respond to Rillotta’s first email. In a follow-up email, he said he was “pleading with you to remove the clause,” adding: “It is not an immaterial false statement, because it is designed to improve the government’s posture in litigation (to the detriment of the employees that we are terminating today).”
Because it was not true, he wrote, “That renders it, as I see it, an anticipatory fraud on tribunals of jurisdiction over these employment actions.”
A high-ranking Treasury Department official instructed a senior IRS personnel employee named Traci DiMartini to identify all probationary IRS employees and fire them “based on performance,” according to an affidavit DiMartini later filed in court.
DiMartini had “never heard of mass probationary employee firings,” she stated in her affidavit.
When DiMartini asked the Treasury Department official why they were firing so many probationary employees, she was told that the order came from OPM, which was staffed by Trump appointees and members of DOGE.
In her affidavit, DiMartini confirmed what Rillotta wrote in his emails — that it was false to say probationary employees were fired for performance. DiMartini’s office “did not review or consider” any probationary employees’ job performance or conduct. Nor did the Treasury Department. “I know this because this fact was discussed openly in meetings,” DiMartini stated in her affidavit.
According to DiMartini’s affidavit, OPM drafted the IRS mass-termination letter. While Treasury officials made several changes to it, the IRS’s personnel office where DiMartini worked “was not permitted to make any changes to the letter,” DiMartini’s affidavit said.
DiMartini refused to sign the mass-termination letter, according to her affidavit. The then-acting commissioner of the IRS, Douglas O’Donnell, also refused to sign the letter.
When thousands of affected IRS employees finally received the letter, it arrived from a generic email account. No agency official’s name appeared anywhere in the do ent.
hahahahaha! karma!

DOGE is cancelling building leases without notice to tenants to inflate its purported "savings"
Plus which, it's de able to treat people this way
https://fla erfreepress.org/doge-...ross-nebraska/DOGE is terminating leases and other contracts so it can claim premature and inflated savings figures, said Charles Tiefer, a professor emeritus at the University of Baltimore School of Law and federal contracting expert.
It’s also, he said, leaving a wake of wreckage for federal agencies and the people they serve.
“It’s chaos. It’s amateur hour,” Tiefer said.
Local critics say closing the public-facing buildings on DOGE’s list would hurt federal workers, farmers seeking guidance on conservation programs and visitors to one of Nebraska’s natural wonders.
Saving taxpayers money is an admirable goal, but DOGE’s approach is beyond reason, said George Johnson, who leases out the National Park Service visitor center in Valentine to the federal government.
“I think a lot of that inefficiency could have been cured with just a scalpel instead of an ax, and everybody would’ve been happier,” Johnson said. “The way it is now, most people are gonna be pissed off about it.”
