"but there is government machinery and ways to legally do that. Musk's DOGE isn't one"
By the way here is the government oversight worker....you know that "machinery" you were talking about? Yeah that's him. Completely blind. This is not a joke. It's real.
Ok let's get started shall we?
In 2014 Obama created the United States Digital Service. It is fully funded and fully approved by Congress. Under his authority as president Trump repurposed this department and kept the acronym USDS except now it's the United States Doge Service, cute isn't it?
So it's legally untouchable and then he creates temporary hiring authority under 5 USC 3161
Now here's the best part drum roll please...... Obama had already obtained department IT supervision rights as an oversight body over the entire government. So Doge already had congressional clearance to access everything.
Obama built the perfect deep state IT back door. The deep state can't block any of this without rewriting existing laws......
I wonder if any of your liberal news sources took the opportunity to explain any of this to you yet? Just today they asked Trump if he would abide by the final court decisions on this matter and instead of being vague he said he would obey them.....why? Because he's already won. You folks just don't know it yet.
You can thank me for educating you on this topic I know it'll put your worries to rest.
