Trusting the Washington Establishment 

was a learning process the first time around!

Trump fires many Inspector Generals but keeps Horowitz.

trump hired many of those fired. What he is doing is replacing appointees with those who will swear loyalty to him. A component of his overall attempt to be "king". trump has taken the first steps to destroy democracy in the USA and government institutions. It's very sad to see US citizens applauding these efforts.

Quote from the linked article: "Most of those dismissed were appointees from Trump’s 2017-2021 first term"

You mean like Biden and Obama did? Isn’t that a good thing in your book?

Taken steps to destroy the left’s contorted idea of democracy you mean.

I’m sorry this has affected an emotional abject of many on the left, but feelings as a foundation is no way to run a country.

Get used to it, it’s going in this direction for many reasons, one of which is to create reactionaries such as yours.

Why would he want treasonous snakes like Milley that went behind his back to conspire with Xi? Do you have any idea how stupid and dangerous that was? Xi isnt his bestie, he will have thought Milley and team woke utter morons.

Strength and logic is back(clearly not in Oz mind). And Thank Goodness 

 

 

LOL....

I do not understand this thread, and I am sure the press is lying, Trump didn't hire those people! We all know that Trump only hires the best people, and he is an expert finding the best people.

I suspect you're an expert on trash, as in 'takes one to know one'.

 

Grow up.

That is so he can be seen as a strong man when he subsequently fires them!

Has Milley been charged with treason? NO. Trump wasn't in power when Milley look the action he did, he was endeavouring to ensure their was no misunderstanding between the US and PRC based on trump's unauthorised communication. So far as I know until the president elect is confirmed on Jan 20th he is actually acting unlawfully by trying to influence a foreign power The actions by trump in communication with PRC were treasonous and spiteful regards Milley.

Please, please, please, Lord.  Let the lefties keep denigrating half the population.

 

It worked so well for HRC and Kamala.  If they stick to that strategy, we may never see another Dem in the White House.

Not surprising. During his first time, Trump made government employees sign Nondisclosure Agreements. Which was obviously blatantly illegal. As others have pointed out, Trump isn't merely demanding loyalty. He's demanding fealty.

I think there is a mandatory 30 days notice to Congress required for this. And in that notice 'cause' must be mentioned. Firing st will as seems to be the case here is most likely not allowed.

Announce the firing, notify congress, keep them on payroll for thirty days.

Apparently many of them were his appointments from his first attempt at being presidential.

Good point well made.

 

And someone also pointed out that when he pardoned the J6 rioters he was actually pardoning Antifa, CIA, FBI and other ne’er-do-wells of the extreme left.

It is so refreshing to see a president admit he appointed trash in his first term. 

To The Gop Senator ,Ms Collins, how many billions upon billions are in ?

Which programs had the most payment errors?

“About $186 billion (79%) of such errors were concentrated in five program areas: Medicare, Medicaid, Pandemic Unemployment Assistance, the Earned Income Tax Credit, and Paycheck Protection Program Loan forgiveness”. 
same source from above

So much tax revenue abused! The USA Govt

is like a criminal organization with a license to steal.

If I had to fault the first Trump presidency, I would say he was entirely too trusting of the "establishment."  Then again, you can hardly fault him for that.  In DC, that;'s all there is. 

 

Imagine having no real experience in the political arena, and then being elected to be the President of the USA.  Even before day one, the vultures descend.  Lobbyists, donors, lawyers, NGOs.  They're always there.  Mistakes were made. 

 

This time around, Trump has had plenty of time to reflect and improve.  He'll still make some mistakes, but I'm sure he learned a few lessons.  He'll have a better team this time.

“I don't understand why one would fire individuals whose mission it is to root out waste, fraud and abuse… I don't understand it.”

 

It's simple! Because he doesn't want them to investigate his intended waste, fraud and abuse! 😆
