Laws are great. Reality is greaterer.
When you report to the person in charge of your paycheck and performance review, what do you think the odds are that you’re going to find in an investigation anything that would potentially be embarrassing either personally or professionally to that individual?
History doesn’t support your conclusion.
Boy, Trump hired more deep staters than ever existed in the first place.
Trump fired four IGs.
Here are the 4 inspectors general ousted by the Trump administration - ABC News (go.com)
Agree. Add Inspectors General to the list, as well as finding a better way to insulate the DoJ from political pressure.
Henceforth, future would-be authoritarians will be asking, “where is my Bill Barr”?, instead of Roy Cohn.
And let’s do something about this too. How many billions more under the table?
A couple decades of experience around IGs in a major government agency is what feeds that skepticism.
Unless the boss is caught sleeping around with subordinates, investigations never touch the folks at the top of the organization. When they do investigate them, they’re almost always found to have been doing things properly and in accordance with the law.
I’m not sure what he is talking about. I can think of no better person to evaluate the safety of vaccines and other highly complex, scientific issues with life-and-death consequences than a corrupt president desperate for re-election.
My personal preference. 
Maybe the Trump kids could install a black board, no wait, a white board next to his mausoleum so we can make suggestions for his final epitaph.
On the bright side, I’m thinking our lingering misogyny will help save us from that outcome.
Did our lingering misogyny deal a blow to Phyllis Schlafy?
They were able to DO that because they weren’t paying for travel or bodyguards or much of anything else. They were getting ‘bids’ because Daddy was the President.
Who?
I mean, I know who she is… but these days, no one else does. She’s vanished and remains simply an arcane cultural reference.
Not if you’re from or still living in St. Louis.
You mean safeguards like prosecuting Trump for giving large US Corporations millions of doses of the vaccine in exchange for campaign donations…to Trump after he lost in November.
Why did giant US corporations get vaccines before phase 1a and phase 1b. The corporations like Goldman and Merck and Baxter vaccinated executives and managers who were working remotely from home!
those of us who live without an ERA amendment are still affected by her
Exactly. The media gave Trump a large quantity of undeserved attention and air time in 2015-2016, they’re making the exact same mistake with Greene by reporting on every utterance of hers. Though I think we readers/comments can help by not clicking or commenting on articles about her (or Trump for that matter) as much as we can…it’s not easy.
Hahn has already lost it. Janet Woodcock, M.D. was named Acting Commissioner of Food and Drugs on January 20, 2021.
The big problem here is that the loonies that are motivated to vote in the low turnout primaries. The role of the political parties has to be restored.
