There's no extraordinary mandate to do anything. What are you feeding yourself?

A president doesn’t need an “extraordinary mandate” to hire and fire executive branch employees to execute his agenda. It’s literally the bare minimum core of his constitutional authority.

Users flagged it. We can only guess why users flag things, but in this case it seems unlikely to have any chance at a thoughtful conversation. It has the Ultimate Troll Ingredient but little actual information.

You have the ability to unflag stories. This is critically important. Please do the right thing here.

Yup, every time something important gets gang-flagged he leaves it flagged even though he can unflag. There's zero transparency and a heavy bias in moderation here. I stopped contributing here and moved to lobste.rs

Because you have two parties of HN users that happily flag, which is enough. Those who are Trump supporters and those who just don't want any politics / the discussions surrounding it on HN. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Doesn't seem to be a duplicate, so dang might unflag it and remove the filter if he sees the thread.

You can always email dang about Flags you think are unjust. He's pretty responsive and fair. Just checkout the contact page linked at the bottom

You cannot fix government by breaking laws. We are a country of laws not men. If you don't get that, get the fuck out.

Laws suddenly have a meaning after years of streaming millions of illegal migrants into the country?

Ideologue AGs that give silk gloves treatments to violent criminals and looters because they're black.

President who wholesale pardons his career criminal son and his entire family as an afterthought because they're so bogged down in so many illegal deals that they've forgot the specifics long ago.

But the US is a country of laws? Lol, how does it feel ferrying that Scorpion across the river Mr Frog?

Lmao.

Lovely sentiment except the guy is breaking laws left and right. This is a hostile takeover of the government.

Why care about laws?

Million of _illegal_ immigrants just walked across the borders, for years, and the law took the back seat.

Why should Musk care? Just turn the law off for whatever suits him, your party started the practice, now reap what you sow.

Don't think it's funny anymore? Well I find it hilarious, enjoy the bed you shat in.

Biden violated the law to forgive billions of dollars in student loans for his voters, and we are supposed to be upset about some 30 day notice requirement?
