The problem they're going to run into is that everything has been coming from Musk, while Amy was in Mexico. So they're not covering themselves, they committing perjury.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

And what will they say when she comes back and tries to actually take control by destroying it?
Or a judge starts asking how she was administrating her department from the hotel bar.
Because of…uhh…Havana Syndrome! That’s it!
I mean, my company has had people work from cruise ships, and my boss regularly works from the middle of the woods.
Her working from out of the country on vacation really isn't a gotcha.
Except that's where she found out about it.
EDIT: I should also add the administrator of DOGE has made decisions based on classified information. Which makes remote work a bit of a problem.
Lawyers say the reason administration officials refuse to admit that Musk is the de facto DOGE administrator is simple: To do so would guarantee losing those lawsuits filed in recent weeks that challenge DOGE’s authority.
The lawsuits start coming, and they don't stop coming...
MSM media isn't paying much attention, but federal unions have been almost constantly firing lawsuits, and adding to existing lawsuits. Class actions are growing even among people who weren't fired.
As much as trump and Elmo hate unions...
You'd think they'd have been aware that the multiple unions representing federal employees know the laws and regulations about federal employees better than literally anyone else.
They're not scrambling to respond, they're calming pulling prepared forms out of cabinets and following plans that have existed for decades. Not because they thought this would happen, because there was a nonzero chance it might eventually happen at some point.
Everytime this admin tries to pivot and tries a "new" idea they just thought of, union lawyers just pull the next form out.
Because they knew what a hostile admin would/could try and how to stop it.
So there is still hope for USA?
There's always hope...
What we hope for will change, and how difficult it will be to get that will change.
But there's literally always hope. It's why fascists spend the majority of their time telling people there's no hope.
If there was no point in us fighting back, they'd encourage it because it would be funny to them to see us fail. That's the type of people they are.
Literally everything Elmo and Trump did with the "fork" was designed to convince federal employees there was no hope so they should take the fork...
If they could just fire the federal employees that wanted to, they wouldn't have offered 7 months pay and benefits for resigning
Americans are making a frankly terrible showing fighting Trump, but America is not even close to too far gone. Trump's de-democratization of America is still in the phase where if you just give him a good scare with a mass demonstration he'll back down
God I hope this backfires and she absolutely fucks them in court during the hearings challenging all the bullshit they’ve done.
History has shown us that CONSEQUENCES will be SEVERE for LYING in Court!
Donald Trump and Elon Musk in a nutshell.
What am I looking at?
A still from Command and Conquer Red Alert where the Russian leader is working with Yuri to take over the world.
But in reality, Boris is just a stooge, and Yuri, the insane mind control tech guy, is running the whole show
Spoilers!
Screen from critically acclaimed video game Red Alert 2.
-
Republicans enact cruel and stupid policy.
-
Democrats refuse to reform cruel & stupid policy because it benefits their backers. In fact, Dems may even brag about how THEY are even better at it.
-
Cruel & stupid policy predictably backfires - and gets blamed on Democrats who pretend they had no control over anything.
What I suspect is happening is that Trump is attempting to give Democrats an opportunity to get in on DOGE while it still polls well.
SMH. Libs... Keep blaming the voters tho....
how do you think this is not the voters. because trump just now threw someone once hired by a democrat??? I have no idea what you think is funny or incongruous. Everyone who voted for trump or did not vote against him should be damned to live through his administration and unfortunately so will the people who voted harris who don't deserve it.
