Day-One Dictator: Trump Orders Democracy Invalid Re: Musk & Ramaswamy Ideas

 

Should be named DODGE not DOGE

Trump's TV show gave him new name

MAJOR UPDATE & BREAKING NEWS:

Just in this hot news from The Independent with this very concerning headline:

“Marjorie Taylor Greene tapped to work alongside Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy on DOGE panel”

Taylor-Greene, the ultra far-right firebrand will chair a House GOP sub-committee to recommend mass firings and government cuts. 

MY NOTE: How can that possibly be legal? If so, fire her own raggedy ass!!! (Pardon my French).

Main Post Follows:

Another huge Musk plan or gimmick to run our government structure the way Trump wants it run:

More on the three maniacs now setting up and redesigning our government and thus the entire Federal structure in their images and not one for “We the People” as the preamble to the current Constitution says that they want to rewrite.

Those three are so-called leader DJT and his two lapdogs Elon Muck and Vivek Ramaswamy as this article from THE HILL headline lays out in stark concerning terms:

“Musk, Ramaswamy lay out plans for ‘mass’ federal layoffs, rule rollbacks under Trump”

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy said their brand-new government efficiency panel (DOGE) will identify “thousands” of regulations for Trump to eliminate, which they argue will justify “mass head-count reductions” across government. 

Musk and Ramaswamy preemptively addressed arguments about civil service protections that could potentially block Trump from firing federal workers writing:The purpose of these protections is to protect employees from political retaliation. But the statute allows for ‘reductions in force’ that don’t target specific employees. The statute further empowers the president to ‘prescribe rules governing the competitive service.’ That power is broad. With this authority, Mr. Trump can implement any number of ‘rules governing the competitive service’ that would curtail administrative overgrowth, from large-scale firings to relocation of federal agencies out of the Washington area.” 

Government workers are already mobilizing in the face of potential mass cuts, reportedly hiring lawyers and preparing public campaigns while also hoping Congress will step in (Reuters reporting). 

DOGE also hopes to take aim at “unauthorized” federal funding, which could impact everything from veterans’ health care and opioid addiction treatment to NASA (Washington Post reports). 

There is widespread skepticism about the ability of Musk and Ramaswamy’s panel to enact change. As an outside-of-government commission, it would be limited to an advisory capacity, meaning it could face numerous obstacles from within the executive branch, as well as Congress.

Musk’s close relationship with Trump could be influential. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO played a key role in Trump’s campaign, contributing millions of dollars to his own pro-Trump super PAC and getting out on the campaign trial.

Musk has remained close at hand; the billionaire tech mogul joined the president-elect at Mar-a-Lago on election night to watch the results roll in and later received a shout out in Trump’s victory speech. 

Musk also has spent much of his time at the Palm Beach, Fla., resort over the past two weeks, reportedly weighing in on Trump’s Cabinet picks and attending meetings, including those with world leaders.

Original post below more updates later I’m sure so stay tuned:

See earlier posts here, here, and main post that follows below. 

Topic: New & Largest Volcano Ever is Building. It’s Name: The Donald

Now building up pressure and expected to fully erupt full strength sometime after noon on Monday, January 6, 2025 across the whole nation and perhaps even the entire planet??? 

Some of the damage of the basics here from the WASHINGTON EXAMINER with this troubling headline:

“Trump taps Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead Department of Government Efficiency”

The newest from that trio of total crazy lunatics: President-elect Donald J. Trump has now rewarded billionaire owner of “X” Elon Musk and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy with plum positions heading up the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)

(NOTE: I renamed it DODGE as seen above).

Trump in his announcement said:I am pleased to announce that the “Great” Elon Musk, working in conjunction with “American Patriot” Vivek Ramaswamy, will lead the Department of Government Efficiency (“DOGE”). Together, these two “wonderful Americans” will pave the way for my Administration to (1) dismantle Government Bureaucracy, (2) slash excess regulations, (3) cut wasteful expenditures, and (4) restructure Federal Agencies – Essential to the “Save America” Movement.”

Musk in turn said:This will send shockwaves through the system, and anyone involved in Government waste, which is a lot of people!”

This is a breaking story and will be updated. 

Now the story in question as an update here from BLOOMBERG NEWS with this headline:

“Musk & Ramaswamy Eye Five-Day Office Week for Federal Workers”

Example of the Musk & Ramaswamy garbage: There are more than two million federal workers and over 400 agencies across the country. Eighty percent of federal employees work outside of Washington, according to the Partnership for Public Service.

If officially embraced by Trump, the return-to-office has the potential to set off a wave of fights between the White House and the labor unions that cover employees at many federal agencies. 

Some workplaces have longstanding tele-work arrangements that predate the Covid-19 pandemic.

Musk, the CEO of Tesla Inc. and SpaceX, has panned work-from-home policies, telling CNBC in 2023 that tech workers: Get off their goddamn moral high horses with the work-from-home.”

Here’s the latest on two more of Trump’s harsh & wild plans:

#1 from USAToday: Musk and Ramaswamy outlined a plan Wednesday for Trump to oversee a massive reduction in the federal workforce, arguing the employees won't be needed after Trump eliminates “thousands of regulations.”

Musk and Ramaswamy have now singled out in a Wall Street Journal op-ed federal employees “who view themselves as immune from firing thanks to civil-service protections.”

The duo pointed to recent Supreme Court decisions to argue the “incoming president has the executive power to nullify many regulations, pursue large-scale firings of federal workers, and relocate some agencies outside of Washington. 

They also said:A drastic reduction in federal regulations would require vastly fewer federal employees.”

#2. Trump now opposes the Constitutional First Amendment, which in part guarantees and protects “Freedom of the Press” with a new Press Freedom bill now circulating in Congress – the very bill that he urges Republicans to block.

What is the full story on that bill?

Trump wrote in a post to his Truth Social network which linked to PBS News Hour video that discussed the “Protect Reporters from Exploitative State Spying Act” (Acronym the; “P.R.E.S.S Act) telling the GOP: “REPUBLICANS MUST KILL THIS BILL!!!”

Musk, the CEO of Tesla Inc. and SpaceX, has panned work-from-home policies himself saying on CNBC in 2023 that tech workers should “…get off their goddamn moral high horses with the work-from-home mindset [sic].”

My 2 Cents: I’m sure, with no positive evidence of the destruction being laid upon the pubic since Trump won on November 5th in his one-day dictator for only one day spewing.

Folks, it’s here now and right in our collective face and it is uglee… 

Prove me wrong – bet even MAGA types can’t or won’t even ‘fess up and other than by spreading more of you know what.

Oh yeah I wonder if anyone regrets voting for Trump. Whew, that’s the $64,000 question isn’t it?

Thanks for stopping by.
