this back and forth is more about you pretending to know things you do not.

No its not. Its about my skepticism over the conclusions of professional liars. And your unwavering believe in "experts".

I've been around many scientists for most of my adult life.  I can think of only one that I would consider intellectually dishonest.  Conversely, i've been around magas here for a couple years and find most to be so.

“In the US, we appeal rulings we disagree with – we don’t ignore court orders or threaten judges with impeachment just because we don’t like the decision. This is a coup, plain and simple,” Arizona’s attorney general, Kris Mayes, said.

Trump and Musk, the world’s richest man and Trump’s largest single donor, now face multiple rebukes from judges and legal experts to the regulatory and staff cuts they have engineered at the treasury department, the US Agency for International Development and several other agencies.

Incongruously, as Trump has touted Musk’s cost-cutting work as vital to curbing spending abuses, one of Trump’s first moves in office last month was to fire 17 veteran agency watchdogs, known as inspectors general, whose jobs have long been to ferret out waste, fraud and abuse in federal departments.

Judge Rejects Bid to Block DOGE’s Access to Labor, Health, and CFPB Data

A judge has upheld DOGE’s authority to access data at three federal agencies.

by Kimberly Hayek

 

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) can continue its de facto audit of certain executive agencies, according to a ruling Friday in the District of Columbia. U.S. District Judge John Bates in Washington on Feb. 14 declined a request by unions and nonprofits for a temporary restraining order (TRO) to prevent the DOGE team from gaining access to records at the Department of Labor, the Department of Health and Human Services, as well as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. In denying the plaintiffs’ request for a restraining order, the judge noted that the plaintiffs failed to show a substantial likelihood of success on the merits of their claims,

which centered on the idea that DOGE’s data access policies were illegal because they were implemented without proper rulemaking or legal authority.

Bureaucracy supports democracy. Without a functioning government apparatus, you have anarchy.

Our government sure is functional, just not how it was intended. We can definitely do better with less. That seems to be the part that upsets you.

It was leaked from a lab. Fauci lied and you ate it up. You regurgitate any talking point they tell you to.

 

They don't want to acknowledge the lab leak because of all the unsavory things it means for Fauci.

Yes, no doubt I’m damned for caring for sick, dying highly infectious patients before any vaccine or treatment was available. F off. 

 

 

No you freaking dolt, there's a special place in hell for people using their self-proclaimed expert status to deny the sinister nature of the bio-weapon that was released upon humanity.

Do you support the Covid vaccine that Trump created using Operation Warp Speed?
