When the Executive branch violates the law, how are they to be brought to justice? The DOJ is supposed to do it, but it is part of the Executive. The courts and the Congress have no enforcement powers. So what is to be done? The traditional answer is to leave it to the people via the next election. But (a) that is a long time to wait in this case, where we have a 5-alarm fire; and (b) what if the Executive ignores the election results? What's to stop them from doing that?
"The trees were the worst loss and damage, for at Sharkey’s bidding they had been cut down recklessly far and wide over the Shire; and Sam grieved over this more than anything else. For one thing, this hurt would take long to heal, and only his great-grandchildren, he thought, would see the Shire as it ought to be."
The "Rasslin" Lady assures us today that funding for schools will now be handled by other agencies. What does this mean? It means that purchase will need to be requisitioned and re-ordered through the other agencies which will have no idea what they are doing. In the meantime the funds will not be saved but simply stagnated for probably a year. Businesses will go under and thousands of people will lose jobs while the money sits in limbo, creating an artificial "budget surplus" for which Trump will claim a huge victory. Stupid voters will believe him.
When the government entity that manages federal buildings ordered agencies to drop a long-standing clause from new contracts, it prompted some concern that the Trump administration was trying to legalize segregation.
The clause, banned by the General Services Administration last month, prohibits maintaining or using segregated facilities. It made explicit what the Civil Rights Act of 1964 already outlaws — discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex and other identity traits.
Dropping that language in the contracts doesn’t change the fact that segregation is illegal in the United States. But the directive is still symbolic, legal experts say.
Does my fervent desire for Elon's face to slough off in a weird rejection of some smrt booster drug make me a bad person? Yes, yes it does. Slough, face, slough.

We should probably be thankful he’s not having the already-planted ones chopped down, like some demento George Washington.
I've posted this before, but...

It's time to go all Mount Doom on these assholes.
Fuckin' techno clueless dicks.

Well done, sir.

Crap like this can not bring about a surplus. Just sayin'.
He must be dragged out in handcuffs. This bullshit must stop.
This sounds like a good, positive program. No wonder they had to destroy it.
I hate this regime with fire of a billion suns. They’re awful monsters deliberately destroying everything good for nothing.
No they are doing it to satisfy the black hole that is PABs soul.
This is really starting to seem like we have Cthulhu in the White House.
As a teenager I helped my dad plant thousands of seedlings. It is now a fifty year old forest.
What does it feel like to know that millions of people hate you to the point of *redacted*?
Pussy Ass BITCH knows....

Did y'all know that Orange boy brought back segregation on federal contracts? Back in February. No one was reporting this.

Thanks for the clarification.

I'd certainly cheer at his rapid unscheduled disassembly.
His brains are already doing that.
Sports are the next DEI.
I'd love for professional sports to go back to mediocre white guys trying to replicate what's happened since 1966.
They don’t want us to have urban forests or public land forests.
Public land clearcuts are OK, tho. What, you do not like open spaces? By the way, here is your rake.
Somebody had to be the one who read that as pubic lands, but I am not admitting to that.
Lots of wild growth.
The movie is over if you'd like to join us there for OT.
We've been keeping ourselves entertained over here.
And we were keeping ourselves entertained over there. Now let's come together like the Beatles sang and we can entertain ourselves together.
Thank you for the earworm… I think…
