The Trump-Vance Administration

Doug Mackey is a former RVF member who was convicted for memes posted online in the 2016 election. The charges were some "election interference" nonsense that only applies to the right. Well, he's done his time, he's out, and he's not just meme-poasting, he's naming names of people he thinks need to get run out of gov't.

First up:



WILLIAM SWEENEY, James Comey’s henchman and the man in charge of the FBI’s New York Field Office.This man was in charge of the Witch Hunt against Trump supporters in New York City

Next:



SETH DUCHARME, a Trump appointee and the acting US Attorney who kicked off the weaponization of the Justice Department by rubber-stamping the Biden regime's assault on free speech by launching the prosecution against me.

To add insult to injury, DuCharme also assaulted the principle of anonymous speech, which is as American as apple pie, stating in a congratulatory DOJ press release that “With Mackey’s arrest, we serve notice that those who would subvert the democratic process in this manner cannot rely on the cloak of Internet anonymity to evade responsibility for their crimes. They will be investigated, caught and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.” (https://justice.gov/opa/pr/social-media-influencer-charged-election-interference-stemming-voter-disinformation-campaign…)

DuCharme also wholeheartedly endorsed the Deep State's assault on free speech disguised as concern for "misinformation/disinformation," stating that, "There is no place in public discourse for lies and misinformation to defraud citizens of their right to vote."

I don’t understand : if he were so pissed and angry with Israel why is Trump ramping up the sending weapons to Israel?

This is impossible to do. Israel already gets all the weapons they want and need from their client state.

Also: Trump has not taken office yet, so he can not do anything official regarding US policy.

In the checkout aisle today I heard two middle aged (.mil retirement aged) female veterans bemoaning Hegseth. "He's unqualified, hasn't even been to War College or blahblah school. Never managed anything big. We're even more qualified than him." Just what you'd expect from their types (homely f officers).
---------------------------------
These appointees know the Deep State already loathes them. They better be hard core, as many will be gone in mere months. They are about to find out how petty .gov employees can be, and they will be set up to "break the law" in countless ways, then thrown into endless lawfare.

Deep state SES: "oh, you want to make XYZ changes, sign the memo." Appointee signs.

Deep state SES: "Congressman, I'm whistleblowing on appointee X for violating (labor, procurement, budgeting, whatever) laws. Protect me, he's vicious."

Deep state SES: "you must help our BFF ally, release the dogs of war." Forgets to mention pertinent operational reasons not to do so. Appointee releases the dogs. Failure ensues.

Deep state SES: "see, this is what happens when you let these guys govern."

These appointees need sharp and loyal Chief of Staff and Inspector General. I'm sure Trump has thought of this, and his guys are smart, but they are still green. This is how the bureaucracy treats green bosses they don't like. For each appointee, there are thousands of GS employees that will slow roll and subvert them.

Edit: I have my grumbles, but I consider these appointees brave and admirable. They are trying to save the Country at the same time their employees and much of the country are undermining them. It takes a lot and they are at great risk. Here's to having the guts to try.

For my Republican colleagues in the House and Senate,

If we are going to release ethics reports and rip apart our own that Trump has appointed, then put it ALL out there for the American people to see.

Yes..

all the ethics reports and claims including the one I filed

all your sexual harassment and assault claims that were secretly settled paying off victims with tax payer money

the entire Jeffrey Epstein files, tapes, recordings, witness interviews

but not just those, there’s more, Epstein wasn’t/isn’t the only asset

If we’re going to dance, let’s all dance in the sunlight.

I’ll make sure we do.

This is fire!

I think there's a decent chance all of this comes out. I hope so. So many of these uniparty members of the House and Senate have tons of skeletons in the closet. They got mysteriously rich in office. They have sordid sexual peccadillos all over the place. Many of them are legit traitors that need to be shot.

Let's see every bit of it come out into the public eye now, from the details of JFK's assassination, to the details of 9/11, Covid, J6, the Epstein list, and the details on every Senator and Representative.

Our nation was founded on the basic idea that the people we elect run the government. That isn’t how America functions today. Most legal edicts aren’t laws enacted by Congress but “rules and regulations” promulgated by unelected bureaucrats—tens of thousands of them each year. Most government enforcement decisions and discretionary expenditures aren’t made by the democratically elected president or even his political appointees but by millions of unelected, unappointed civil servants within government agencies who view themselves as immune from firing thanks to civil-service protections.
This is antidemocratic and antithetical to the Founders’ vision. It imposes massive direct and indirect costs on taxpayers. Thankfully, we have a historic opportunity to solve the problem. On Nov. 5, voters decisively elected Donald Trump with a mandate for sweeping change, and they deserve to get it.

President Trump has asked the two of us to lead a newly formed Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, to cut the federal government down to size. The entrenched and ever-growing bureaucracy represents an existential threat to our republic, and politicians have abetted it for too long. That’s why we’re doing things differently. We are entrepreneurs, not politicians. We will serve as outside volunteers, not federal officials or employees. Unlike government commissions or advisory committees, we won’t just write reports or cut ribbons. We’ll cut costs.

We are assisting the Trump transition team to identify and hire a lean team of small-government crusaders, including some of the sharpest technical and legal minds in America. This team will work in the new administration closely with the White House Office of Management and Budget. The two of us will advise DOGE at every step to pursue three major kinds of reform: regulatory rescissions, administrative reductions and cost savings. We will focus particularly on driving change through executive action based on existing legislation rather than by passing new laws. Our North Star for reform will be the U.S. Constitution, with a focus on two critical Supreme Court rulings issued during President Biden’s tenure.

In West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency (2022), the justices held that agencies can’t impose regulations dealing with major economic or policy questions unless Congress specifically authorizes them to do so. In Loper Bright v. Raimondo (2024), the court overturned the Chevron doctrine and held that federal courts should no longer defer to federal agencies’ interpretations of the law or their own rulemaking authority. Together, these cases suggest that a plethora of current federal regulations exceed the authority Congress has granted under the law.

DOGE will work with legal experts embedded in government agencies, aided by advanced technology, to apply these rulings to federal regulations enacted by such agencies. DOGE will present this list of regulations to President Trump, who can, by executive action, immediately pause the enforcement of those regulations and initiate the process for review and rescission. This would liberate individuals and businesses from illicit regulations never passed by Congress and stimulate the U.S. economy.

When the president nullifies thousands of such regulations, critics will allege executive overreach. In fact, it will be correcting the executive overreach of thousands of regulations promulgated by administrative fiat that were never authorized by Congress. The president owes lawmaking deference to Congress, not to bureaucrats deep within federal agencies. The use of executive orders to substitute for lawmaking by adding burdensome new rules is a constitutional affront, but the use of executive orders to roll back regulations that wrongly bypassed Congress is legitimate and necessary to comply with the Supreme Court’s recent mandates. And after those regulations are fully rescinded, a future president couldn’t simply flip the switch and revive them but would instead have to ask Congress to do so.

A drastic reduction in federal regulations provides sound industrial logic for mass head-count reductions across the federal bureaucracy. DOGE intends to work with embedded appointees in agencies to identify the minimum number of employees required at an agency for it to perform its constitutionally permissible and statutorily mandated functions. The number of federal employees to cut should be at least proportionate to the number of federal regulations that are nullified: Not only are fewer employees required to enforce fewer regulations, but the agency would produce fewer regulations once its scope of authority is properly limited. Employees whose positions are eliminated deserve to be treated with respect, and DOGE’s goal is to help support their transition into the private sector. The president can use existing laws to give them incentives for early retirement and to make voluntary severance payments to facilitate a graceful exit.

Conventional wisdom holds that statutory civil-service protections stop the president or even his political appointees from firing federal workers. The purpose of these protections is to protect employees from political retaliation. But the statute allows for “reductions in force” that don’t target specific employees. The statute further empowers the president to “prescribe rules governing the competitive service.” That power is broad. Previous presidents have used it to amend the civil service rules by executive order, and the Supreme Court has held—in Franklin v. Massachusetts (1992) and Collins v. Yellen (2021) that they weren’t constrained by the Administrative Procedures Act when they did so. With this authority, Mr. Trump can implement any number of “rules governing the competitive service” that would curtail administrative overgrowth, from large-scale firings to relocation of federal agencies out of the Washington area. Requiring federal employees to come to the office five days a week would result in a wave of voluntary terminations that we welcome: If federal employees don’t want to show up, American taxpayers shouldn’t pay them for the Covid-era privilege of staying home.

Finally, we are focused on delivering cost savings for taxpayers. Skeptics question how much federal spending DOGE can tame through executive action alone. They point to the 1974 Impoundment Control Act, which stops the president from ceasing expenditures authorized by Congress. Mr. Trump has previously suggested this statute is unconstitutional, and we believe the current Supreme Court would likely side with him on this question. But even without relying on that view, DOGE will help end federal overspending by taking aim at the $500 billion plus in annual federal expenditures that are unauthorized by Congress or being used in ways that Congress never intended, from $535 million a year to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and $1.5 billion for grants to international organizations to nearly $300 million to progressive groups like Planned Parenthood.

The federal government’s procurement process is also badly broken. Many federal contracts have gone unexamined for years. Large-scale audits conducted during a temporary suspension of payments would yield significant savings. The Pentagon recently failed its seventh consecutive audit, suggesting that the agency’s leadership has little idea how its annual budget of more than $800 billion is spent. Critics claim that we can’t meaningfully close the federal deficit without taking aim at entitlement programs like Medicare and Medicaid, which require Congress to shrink. But this deflects attention from the sheer magnitude of waste, fraud and abuse that nearly all taxpayers wish to end—and that DOGE aims to address by identifying pinpoint executive actions that would result in immediate savings for taxpayers.

With a decisive electoral mandate and a 6-3 conservative majority on the Supreme Court, DOGE has a historic opportunity for structural reductions in the federal government. We are prepared for the onslaught from entrenched interests in Washington. We expect to prevail. Now is the moment for decisive action. Our top goal for DOGE is to eliminate the need for its existence by July 4, 2026—the expiration date we have set for our project. There is no better birthday gift to our nation on its 250th anniversary than to deliver a federal government that would make our Founders proud.
