Why do you support government corruption, funding terrorism and theft of tax payer money?

Would Trump putting the label "czar" on him like Obama did with over 30 appointees who had the same powers make you feel better?

Time to investigate these AG’s campaign financing.

Absolutely, if you don’t want to weed out waste and fraud, it’s probably because you are complicit. They were not to concerned when Clinton and Obama did this but now since it’s Trump, and he knows the truth, it’s bad!

Could the head of the executive branch of the United States federal government not contract with say, McKinsey and Deloitte, to perform audits of certain offices of the executive branch of the United States federal government?

I’m confused about the constitutional crisis this would present.

Musk has NO authority!!!! He is just an advisor. Case dismissed.

Either they changed their mind at the last minute or were misleading the public. My sense is they changed it at the last minute and I suspect that’s why the first GC resigned after three days.


Now who is making stuff up?

They absolutely want that. Those states give more money to the US than they get back. They would be instantly richer...until we invaded them and took it all.

Elon Musk has more intelligence in one of his farts than Biden or any political leader in the US yet you had no problem with them working in the executive branch. You don’t like it because he works for Trump but just remember you enthusiastically voted for a geriatric retard

So did they change their mind or were they always misleading the public that this entity would be outside of the government ? What’s your sense?

There’s a certain time you radical leftists become curious about the government.

I just can’t quite figure out what the trigger is though.

If you don't know how federal contracts work, just say you don't know.

No doubt they will find a judge who will give them what they want.

You think the head of the entire executive branch of the federal government of the United States has to follow some procedure set up for his underlings? Honest question.

Here is the Constitution if you need it:

Article 2 - Section 1

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

-------------------------

This isn't relevant to this discussion, but I found this language interesting. If I'm reading this correctly, the President doesn't have to be born in the US, as long as they are a US Citizen, 35 years old and been here at least 14 years.

Am I reading that right?

Perhaps Elon the Magnificent could be next?
I know he doesn't want it.. just saying hypothetically..

Many, including me, thought this type oversight would never be done, till we were in a depression and there was no money left… This is awesome

Elon gets billions in federal contracts, and he's now in a position to frick with direct competitors, using the federal government as a weapon.

I'm old enough to remember when Republicans had a problem with that.

There is a reasonable position here that Trump is giving access without an appropriate amount of vetting

Musk has had high security clearance for years.
Trump can give anyone security clearance.
Trump can declassify whatever he wants because he is the President.
