Trump's Cabinet
Musk was able to derail several investigations into Tesla and SpaceX and his new payment platform for X. Musk got what he wanted. All the while DOGE was openly shuttering USAID, Musk was closing down or reducing regulatory agencies and things that would affect him and his companies. He was also able to harvest god knows how much personal data as well as the ability to install backdoors into any number of systems. Oh yeah, and White House communication is going through Starlink now. No way could be abused... He was able to accomplish exactly what he set out to do. https://www.wsj.com/politics/tech-silicon-valley-government-influence-70b43ca6?st=fDN1mW&reflink=mobilewebshare_permalink

So, he gets fired? Where are the criminal charges?

I remember reading Bob Gates “Duty” and him commenting how he had to cut his own grass and do his own errands as SECDEF while his CJCS, Admiral McMullen, had enlisted aides that did all that.

Trump's Cabinet
No one cares what the Senate thinks of the 14th Amendment since they aren't the official interpreters of the Constitution and applicable amendments. Sorta like how booms didn't give a shit what pilots thought of how to make contact or pilot's not giving a shit about what a boom thought of an approach and landing.

Can Supreme Court Justices not be fired via impeachment? Stan Eval is a commander's program, however, as a commander when you R&C an evaluator, you are giving trust and confidence in that evaluator to follow applicable associate directives and technical manuals. Aren't you a MC-130 guy? Let's see what the MC-130V2 says: Huh, weird it doesn't state "what the commander's directives are."

Do you argue with an evaluator who's giving you a check ride on how you don't agree with their interpretation of an area of checkride criteria? Who's charged with the final interpretation of said check ride criteria, you or the evaluator?

I posted a link to an EO and a quote from the EO. I didn't know that would trigger you.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
The best pilots I flew with were business majors, the worst were STEM.

The worthless fuck who murdered Macho and injured his family had his trial start a few days ago. Hopefully he does tax payers a favor and just removes himself from the planet. https://www.denver7.com/news/crime/trial-for-man-accused-of-killing-colorado-us-air-force-member-in-dui-crash-begins

The link I posted had direct quotes from Sen Bacon. That statement doesn’t deny he did it either. It said there’s no classified information in a Signal chat, which is up for debate.

He didn’t deny shit. He started throwing out ad hominems against former DoD officials. Innocent until proven guilty is for the jury/judge, probable cause gets you charged. Looks like some dissension within the GOP ranks. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/21/don-bacon-recommends-firing-hegseth-00301057

Hey guess what? Both can be wrong. How many routine fuck ups are going to be allowed by the SECDEF? I mean he makes PA videos doing PT with Rangers, so I guess he gets a bro pass.

Except that retard has done the same thing before. Let me ask you this, if you would’ve done what the SECDEF has done previously and accused of doing again (i.e., release classified information to people who don’t have a need to know on a non-approved platform), would you be charged with a crime? By the way, it’s a yes or no answer. I don’t need your whataboutism you like the spew in every response.

As a Nav in AMC? Going to be hard (sts) with all of the -17 and now -46 golden children. Looks like Punk was at Pope when the Fun Burglar was fired as Wing King.

Tariff wars
There's ongoing litigation to see about the powers of the Executive Branch if he can "do something about it." So, until that litigation is finalized, either way, it's conjecture. There's also an EO that says the Executive Branch will assert control over independent agencies. Just because it's written in an EO, which isn't statue, doesn't mean it's legal. Last I checked, people who sit in some Supreme Court with JDs ultimately determine that.

Then why is the current administration EOing environmental protections away and gutting the EPA?
