POTUS should execute a similar current day operation. What MSM and big tech have done and continue to do to our country over a “Corona Virus” and “No Significant Election Fraud” has become a national security issue. The outright lies, censorship, fraudulent editing and selective reporting is not only a manipulation of and danger to everyone it has undermined our national security. MSM has become the enemy within!
☝️ Gets it
Always have been
Now do Zuk, spez, and Bezos.
The President was much more powerful then, they had total control of the executive.
The President is as powerful as he chooses to be.
POTUS: "Fire everyone in the FBI, hire these people, start investigating election fraud."
WH Lawyer: "I'm sorry Mr. President, but 28 US Code 531 subsection 33 paragraph J states that employees in class Q divisions are hired under consent of congress and require a statutory 6 month probationary period and the approval of two supervisors before we can transfer them to an attached division where they may serve for a year before they can be terminated."
POTUS: "Fuck you. Carry out my orders."
SCOTUS: "We have ruled that the president does NOT have the authority to carry out that order. The law says these employees can't be fired, and the the president cannot conduct investigations, and this other law we just made up says we get to approve of anyone he hires to make sure the department is diverse enough."
POTUS: "Fuck you. Carry out my orders."
It's that simple.
No it isn't.
POTUS: "Fuck you. Carry out my orders."
Career employee: "No. Here is the court order saying I don't."
POTUS: "You're fired."
Career employee: "You can't fire me. See civil service law enacted by Congress. You need cause and a lengthy investigation to fire me, and I have a court decision backing me up."
President keeps firing until he hires the one who carries out orders.
Congress wails. Court issues meaningless documents.
That last one is BS.
Something something Unitary Executive.
All executive authority in the federal government either needs to be executed by the president himself, or within his chain of command.
Not that he can Individually fire every member of the executive branch, but he can fire the person who can fire the person.... who can fire every person in the executive branch.
That’s like Article II, Section 1 shit.
Basically, if Congress grants the authority for the government to execute an action, it shall be done as the President wishes.
And if you don’t agree with that, you’re fired.
The presidency is way more powerful now, except when someone they don't like is in office. Biden would wave a wand and oceans would shift for him.
The problem is the civil servants. The "career" employees. There needs to be a 12 year term limits on everybody in DC. Including federal employees.
These rubbish are the real Deep State.
Also known as the Entrenched Bureaucracy.
I guess scotus judges too because they suck apparently
EXTREME PARALLELS
he fucking DID what he had to DO --------- awesome
Just read the command/order. Abe gets/had gotten it. MSM is the traitor to the US.
Hint : Trump gets it too !
Libel and Slander Laws have become watered down. The media gets to lie with little recourse. This should be on Trump's 2021 Agenda.
Can we do this again?? That would be GREAT!! Anyone else vote Yes? We will use dominion anyway, so the winning votes will be yes. Lol
But Muh free press
Fuck twitter. Arrest those commies. Strip them naked and glue a $100 bill to their foreheads and drop them off in the ghetto with a sign that says I hate black people.
