Nothing to see here. Just a massive conflict of interest from an unelected foreigner exacting power over your government.

#82Are there any good blogs that are chronicling the USA Federal gov's slow descent into facism and overt corruption, just collecting and archiving pieces like this with a classiciation/categorization etc.? I think it's an unprecedented opportunity to record the history of a downfall using modern tools, and future generations might benefit enormously. When I learned about the disruption of the Weimar Republic in highsch…
There's lots of them, but I respectfully submit that doing something about it in the present - whatever you determine that to be, given your skills and inclinations - is a far higher priority than the educational byproduct for future generations.
Using your Weimar example, I would not argue that Germany or humanity is/are better off for having gone through the cataclysm of WW2. In terms of building context, you might find it helpful to read this dry but very detailed examination of the nazi administrative state, and how it delivered economic resources to its political clients through a combination of reorganization, financial engineering, and striaght-up theft:

On a more abstract level, try 'The logic of political survival' by Smith & Bueno de Mesquita. both books will give you a useful framework within which to assess the contextual significance of ongoing news events.

#87I wonder about the purpose of many of these actions. Since they’re done via EOs they can easily be reversed.

#88The US is starting to look like Berlusconi's Italy 30 years ago in this regard... The only difference is that Berlusconi was Italian and could be elected, when politicians were not obeying as he expected.
Uh what? If I got fired from a private company security would also remove me
If you were at a private company there would probably not be a rule that the board (qua Congress) had to be given 30 days notice of your termination, with documentation of cause.

#89Nice truncating the title and removing context. If you got fired from literally any private sector company and refused to leave your office, security would escort you out immediately.
Except that the rules about firing public officials and inspector generals in particular are different, by law. Accusing the headline writers of omitting context while ignoring that key difference makes your comment reek of hypocrisy.

#90Earlier quoted context omitted.
The people spoke very clearly in November: they wanted this.
This is my big struggle with all of this. His first term I felt America was duped by a con man so protested and made a fuss on social media. Americans saw the first four years and astonishingly decided they wanted more of it, by a decent margin. So while I absolutely hate what is going on right now this seems to be what the people wanted. I question each day whether that needs to be respected or we should resist. I a…
