  They are in fact authorized. That's why your article (your second about this!) is such a waste of space. Trump authorized them. Yes, he is very much allowed to do that. This is all perfectly legal, and the result of democracy. You are making things up to pretend they are not authorized but they are. No matter how much you wish they were not, and you just kinda sound like an idiot claiming otherwise.

  So your line shouldn’t be, “That which is created by EO can be elimintated by EO.”....It should be “That that can be consolidated by EO can be broken back apart by EO.”

  What a pointless clarification. Thank you for wasting my time.

  *1997 Official is determined by the appoints clause of the constitution. It has not been amended and cannot be overwritten by any mere law. (it's not even clear what you're citing, but lol, no) He's not an official. Everything else you wrote is irrelevant and incredibly stupid.

  You don't even have a question. You're just making up nonsense.

  I wrote — accurately — that Kristol got funds via RPA,

  You wrote....and provided no citations nor sources. I assume in any comment from here on out you will only reference your own articles on the subject, which again, contain no actual sources or references. You are not a credible source and a known liar.

  But NOT A SINGLE PERSON other than a similarly brain-addled cultist like yourself will believe you.

  Funny, cuz to the entire internet outside of techdirt land, it sure looks like Bill Krystol's org got about $50M directly from USAID. Just as everyone else generally agrees that the federal government under Biden violated the 1A by proxy. You fuuucking liar. You're not even terribly good at it.

  Musk can delete whatever he wants on the platform he owns. MM was arguing it was a 1A violation, which it absolutely was not. I am not obligated to agree with everything Musk does.

  What else you got, son? Make it good

  Make what good? You don't even understand the argument you're having.

  Musk has had a Top Secret clearance for many years, and the press secretary is not obligated to pre-emptively tell you who else does. You're just an idiot.

  I see that now, thank you. It's still fundamentally a broken link.

  Me calling you stupid is not me being "mad". That is me making an accurate and fair assessment.

  The duly authorized contractors are undertaking work the president was elected to see done. It's legitimate af.

  Basically ^^^this except instead of "unfortunate" I see it as good. DOGE is legal and authorized, and ultimately, necessary.

  I'm not sure that names, by themselves are a problem (though there sure were a whole lot of death threats, d@mn you people are hateful), but doxxing is bad, and no, that's not the same thing as "transparency".

  Invalid argument

  with this ad hoc, illegally-staffed presidential committee destroying the infrastructure,

  When the URL linked here is fixed it goes to a bluesky post that says:

  White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt tells reporters Elon Musk is a “special government employee” and has “abided by all applicable federal laws,” but she doesn't what security clearance, if any, he currently holds.

  Funnily enough, the press secretary not mentioning a security clearance doesn't mean there isn't any. Musk has had top secret clearance for years. Trump can issue any clearance to any of his DOGE workers that he wants, so of course they have clearance. All your arguments are so terrible.

  MM's algo censors the comment anytime I use certain words, M0R0N. I'm misspelling on purpose.

  BTW, you know two of your links are broken?

  "Illegally staffed" and "being litigated". The first isn't true so I was actually curious as to the argument.
