There better be some actual whistles to go with this.

Truckloads of them.

They’ll be needed. And used!

I get the feeling that not too long from this point, the Trump administration will be working with Congress to dismantle this office ASAP.

He’s basically going to dismantle any agency or office of the government that tries to stop him from doing what he wants. And sadly, I expect there will be just enough Republicans to make it happen. :frowning:

Yeah, I’m guessing the OSC’s budget just got frozen.

It’s a bit like hoping that the barred metal doors will keep out the invading monster in a horror movie and hearing the creak as they strain…

It will all come down to whether they get rid of the filibuster…

This and other oversight offices could be shoved down the memory hole in the name of “unnecessary” regulation…

Like I said yesterday, we’ll be watching a fucking conga line of whistleblowing by this summer. Of course, that depends on how effectively he manages to purge all non-goose-steppers, but the labor laws and protections for non-political career employees make that a bit difficult for him to manage.

Given the size of his manbaby hands, I doubt he’s ever even reached a uvula.

I have many friends and work acquaintances who work in/with federal agencies.

Amazon must be selling a boatload of big-gig flash drives, because there’s a helluva lot of file back-ups going on right now.

I thought he liked to grab them by the uvula.

Resist!

He needs to know that most Americans think he is repugnant and ignorant. The only people that support him are the ones that are craven enough to think they’ll get something from him.

You’re a pessimist. I think before the spring solstice equinox.

ETA: @water Spring and Fall have equinoxes, Summer and Winter have stolstices. Brain farts… Thanks.

They would already have done it if they were going to and I will bet you right now $20 they don’t. It cuts both ways. They have relied on the threat for over 8 years themselves.

Otherwise he’s sticking his hand down their throats and he’s a germaphobe. hahahahaa
